Sheesh! On that, don't be too surprised to see the Volkswagen group buy a motorcycle company sometime in the future. Dr Ferdinand Piech likes motorbikes and the Volkswagen group could pretty much afford just about any motorcycle company it wanted to buy, they have already bought a pretty heavy stake in Suzuki which includes the motorcycle division. The good Doctor is a Ducati freak it would seem and would dearly love to add a motorcycle division to the group.

On the plus side, you get to do lots of test riding.

went for a nice ride yesterday... sandon-halcombe road loop followed by a ride int ashhurst to see cowboyz, then a quick ride through the gorge and back over the track!

the only bad part was when i nearly hit a xr8 ute at the crest of a hill through ballance because he was doing a 3 point turn.... i could only just get past him with inches to spare

it was good to see you drop in with your mate and offer your expert diaganosis on the TT. 6x "It dont go" it much more conclusive than 4x "It dont go"

**slydesigns** · 26th April 2010, 17:07

reminds me... I have to come round and point out your TT dont go...

**cowboyz** · 26th April 2010, 17:13

huge thanks to bogan! Just been riding round on the TT! It Lives! Sorted out the timing issue and shes a minter. just at this stage you still need a support vehicle to start it................
