    I know the 999 doesn't get a lot of love, but that is a hell of a bike for the money.
    Fuck a duck!!! That is a lot of bike for the money
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I just noticed there are currently six Ducati Paul Smart replicas on trademe.

    Including this one - which has halved in value in only two years.

    I guess the economy must really be starting to tighten up!

    Racing is cheap ... it's the crashing which is expensive.

    Is that a typo? Is it even possible for a high revving engine to last 200,000 K like that? Maybe with several rebuilds? Even then I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft barge pole.
    Where do you get that info?
