Sorry to bring the tone of the forum back down, but after a hiatus of 4 years or so with a little trip over to one of the OTHER Italian marques, I'm now back on a Ducati once more. Should be collecting an ST3 next weekend, and I must admit that when I took it for a test ride it was like meeting an old friend again.... So to those who don't know me, hello from a very sunny Central France, and for those who do know me, please accept my deepest apologies
