But....where do you sit? and the fuel tank looks tiny , you wont get very far on a tankful, and where do you fit your lugage and panniers?

They are probably old tiredlines by now....

Actually I am a little jealous, I alway fancied a play on a trials bike, have fun.

Don't beleive every thing you hear about Duc's...Good Italian engineering as you must appreciate...

I had a bit of a hunt for info on this hydraulic clutch you mention....You must mean more than hydraulic actuation from a clutch leaver....something like a torque converter or like the honda ct110?

Please expand on that for me...

Nice one Carver, is the bike you bought the bike in this video?

If it is, I've gotta see some videos of it in action, I bet having no seat apart from the rear fender would get you fit in a hurry too! Where are you planning to ride it? I really love them, they look like they can be thrown around heavily and take it.
