Out of the closet snob comes clean

Okay so here's the new toy. It looks and sounds great and what can I say, except I'm a happy Duke owner. Now that I have left the world of Jappaz behind, I'm still the same person and won't be going on any of those horrible coffee cruises that have already been suggested to me.

So will you guys be treating me any different, now that I've apparently moved up in the world an' all.

**FROSTY:Me** · 22nd August 2004, 21:49

well It is one sexy looking bike.

**Magua** · 22nd August 2004, 21:52

Nice, big jump from the 2fiddy?

**Sensei** · 22nd August 2004, 21:57

Are yes , around 1990 by the white frame . Great little bike . Happy riding on your new baby Sensei

**Motoracer** · 22nd August 2004, 22:21

Yep Sensei, it's a 1992. To be honest, I didn't get these dukes until I rode Andrew's one for the first time. After riding it, I was sold! It's a really nice bike to ride with great handeling and nice braking. The sound is great and just riding around on something with a Ducati badge just makes it special. If I had the money, I'd get one! (damn, another pricey thing added to the wish list

)

I hope you will still remember us little people Andrew, now that you are a big shot Ducati owner!

Congrats on the new machine Andrew! It is in very good condition and sounds quite throaty, especially when its owner likes to rev it out a bit

. I enjoyed riding with you yesterday and you certainly looked the part. Enjoy it heaps.

1) XJ - Yes a very sexy looking bike, but just wait till you hear it!

2) Magua - Not a huge jump in power but handles so much nicer for sure.

3) Sensei - Yep a 92.

4) MR - Just wait until my first service comes round then'll you'll be laughing.

5) TS - Have already been on a ride, won't be showing you how to go fast EVER i don't think.

6) Fastford - Expensive, but so was my ZXR costing way too much just for a 250.

7) Zed - Will enjoy it, Thx!

Those big BMW trailies are like that,forget the dorks that pass you with their noses in the air,those things are a real blast.Nothing that big should handle like they do.

Congratulations Andrew, nice looking bike.

If you want to get any Ducati accessories let me know and I'll give you all the info on what's available. I understand Oakley are bringing another style of Duc sunnies out shortly.
