TVR planning a bike range.

[James Deuce]

Man the new ones are by far the hottest the Ducs finaly look up2 date again...whats it been 11 years since the 916? they are finaly in2 the new millenium...hats off to Ducati for steping out there despite all the bad press, i guess im new school tho

There's no new school or old school in design. There's gestalt design a la the 916 range, there's era related fashion (i.e. Post-Modern or Georgian), and then there's the piles of crap the Ducati board let that Sth African produce to replace a timeless piece of perfection.

How can u say no new school or old school in design? gs1000 was the superbike of its day, now look at the 999, the 04 R1, the new MV, the list goes on, they all have their own look, just look at retro bikes like the gs1200 they all have a new melenia look, i think everything is either old or new school, new bikes now are pure art old school was just functional, but it all has its time and place.

THANK YOU bud, at least someone here admits (what everyone alreadys knows) that some bikes are like works of art

Hmmmmm, I didn't see the 04/05 Gixxer in that list anywhere...

I'm soo happpy hehehehe

*EDIT*
On this historic milestone, I would like to thank all those that have inspired me to get to where I am today. Now, I can finally go to bed
I think to fall asleep tonight, I will count whores instead of sheep

IBM stands for "It's being mended"

OR...

Internal Bowel Movements
I'm Bloody Marvelous
I Break Marriages
I've Been Movitivated
I've Been Moved (to another part of the country...not emotionally)

Usually spouted by managers to whom all seemed true at some time in their career....not that I'm a bitter and twisted ex employee...oh no siree

I wish people would stop listening to shit rumours and try stuff themselves!!!! )

Yep, fairy snuff - guilty as charged, I base my comments on no first hand facts.

[edit]
sorry bout the rant... had to talk to my mum (in Oz) whilst washing the bike and all she did was bitch about the rest of the family (as usual) so when I read this I was pissed off.... (its either the family or the friggin BeeGees every time she rings )

I think they`re all like that,only mine dosnt know who the Bee Gees are and unfortunately dosn`t live in Australia.

Like someone said MCN are notorious for theit "exclusives",I think the most famous one was years back when Kawasaki were about to announce their new British factory,caused a lot of excitement,not least with Kawasaki who wondered what they were talking about.Thing is they`ve got pages to fill every week so in good old Brit press fashion if there isnt any they make it up,usual thing is a "scoop" drawing of next years rumoured bikes,loads of fanfare but the bottom line is some guys taken an educated guess and knocked-up a sketch.In the circles I move in people buy MCN for the adverts,the paper version is something like 80% ads and a good source of good deals,all the discount mail-order boys bung their latest special offers in there.

wish mine didn't know the beegees... its a new thing... the family should never have showed her a DVD.. she's 68 with MS and in a wheelchair so i'm nice until she mentions music!!! FFS, just coz I used to be a music manager for some company she thinks I know robyn gibbs friggin birthday... and what he wants for it!!! who gives a flying *^$^!~!!!!!!!
(she rang again......)

[Blakamin]

BTW: When you talk to your Mum and she starts talking about family, go into "Husband Aha, Uh hum", mode; make her think you are listening, but think dreamy thoughts of Ducatis wafting over perfectly cambered and radiused corners (But don't think of F__KING Multitradas or I'll pop out of your daydream and break all your other teeth).

I think she's on to that Jim.... she asks me stupid questions after 5 mins of "yeah mum"
and you're so right about multistradas.... WTF were they thinking??? might as well buy a frigging BMW!!!!! the whole idea is so not Ducati...

I dont know if you guys have it in NZ but we`ve got a thing called teletext,kind of forerunner of the net on your tv.This thing lets you have sub-titles if you pres 888 so when I phone the old dear I have the t.v. on,sound off and the sub-titles up so I can "multi-task",i.e. do the "yeah" bit every 10 minutes while watching the news at the same time.Couple of times she`s phoned "because your Dad`s watching the bloody football again",well so am I dear,only with the sound turned off.I used to read but she clicked on to the pages being turned,usual old lady"deaf when it suits".Love her to bits really.......but distance is nice.

Their moment of glory here,all 3 were on the Clive Anderson show,one of them said "the trouble is people think we`re wankers"(yes,a Bee Gee said that).Anderson came back with,"Well you are wankers" and they got the hump and walked off,that clip gets shown all the time here.
