I know that he spoke to official teams and rode laps on race prototypes but I'm not sure if he ever raced. And yes, he was a road rider. He...
I remember that London pubs were mostly snooty but I remember a few good ones. In fact I remember a very nice one near Rearsby, on the Fosse,...
... My wife plays the same game!:scream:
I feel like I'm back to school, under exam! I'm not a designer nor an engineer. My replies may very well be flawed as I offer them as...
You posted your reply while I was writing my follow up to the previous post. Sorry. Our posts crossed.
Elise, Exige... What is it with you and the Lotus car manufacturer's names?
Looks like exige may have some skeletons in his closet... You're authorised to inform the thread about everything, don't worry... I'm sure that El...

Thank you for the kind words, undeserved. For full disclosure I must say that I'm a crazy, nutter, fan of the 998. But I do recognize the...
Thanks. I really feel for Terblanche and his creations (Multistrada included). People don't recognize that he was actually asked to break away...
I will try to look at the 999 design from Ducati's own perspective. I bought my 749S after testing a 999S on the Fuji Speedway racetrack. At the...
Those are not my bikes! I took the picture off the intent! Mine are a Ducati 998R and a D16, Benelli Tornado Tre, MV Agusta F4R, BMW R1100RS,...
Here are the Cagiva Mito (2 stroke, 125cc) and the Ducati 916, side by side. Spot which is which... [ATTACH]
