I've got some great memories.

Trips to WDW.
Touring in Italy.
Trip to the south of France.
Trips to the TT
Trackdays at most circuits in the UK.
Dined with Ducati Corse.
Been the Yorks region RO for yonks.
Met and ridden with some great fellow Ducati riders over the years from Yorkshire and beyond.
Enjoyed the highs of Ducati ownership.

The one remaining Ducati related ambition was to do the Moto Giro in the touring class. Even lost the enthusiasm for that now.

Junior is very keen on karting and that is taking up time and money, luckily dad can still hang onto a lively Kart long enough to stay in front of him with the help of a 20 BHP advantage

Just losing enthusiasm for biking in general, too many other calls on my time and ££££.

Maybe it's time for the pipe and slippers, noooooooo not a BMW.

Time to Mothball the 998?, flog it?, get that Monster S4RS? I've always wanted (but not sure I'd get time to use)

Anyone got any bright ideas that are going reignite my enthusiasm?

You need to do the MotoGiro on a small Ducati Ray-really get into it-so it's either up to a 175 in the Vintage class, up to 250 in the Touring Supersport, or over 250 in the Taglioni-go on-you know you want too...............
