First try worked but I somehow posted the picture twice. Second attempt worked better. Now you all know what a pint of Tribute looks like in the BA. At some point this year, I will visit Riders either in Bristol or Bridgewater and inspect the Ducati Scrambler. I forget that a new Monster was in the mix, but they are expensive. Here's another picture;
Achewy, I have just been on the Ducati website and the Monster is only about £500 more than a Scrambler, so the Monster wins, but if I suspend my hatred of 18" front wheels, then that Royal Enfield 650 is back and it's half the price of the Ducati Monster, so the conclusion is that I just have no idea. No rush as I will not do anything this year. If I get the ST3 back on the road, I might do nothing at all. Either way, I will shut up for a bit!
That's me done with shutting up! The Multi V2 looks ok and is a Nat's cock under 200kg I think when I looked earlier. It costs a bit more than I would like but I won't know how much until I am in a position to deal and that won't be until next year. I will probably need a few thousand out of the hundreds of thousands in my trust fund fund but what the hell. It's my money and when my trustee says "no" I will point out that it is my money gained through ownership of a Ducati and this will replace the one lost to me, I will make a final decision this time next year, when I should have more clarity on my driving licence situation. It will be nice to just have Ducatis in the garage again. I've binned the Yamaha MT09 YAMT idea as I like the idea of automatic transmission, but the MT07/9 bike doesn't really rock my boat. And it has to as this is just a fun purchase of a toy for me. Gear changing on Ducatis is easy and I hardly use the clutch. I will visit Riders some time just for a double check, I will see if I can do a test ride this summer because I will be buying (if it happens) in February or March when it's not such a good time for a test ride,
Given up on the idea of getting anything and will just stick. And get the ST3 back on the road. And that makes my life simpler, which is the main aim.
