Ride to your favourite set of bends on a warm day very early a.m. and stop... wait until any cars have gone past you........ give them a few minutes to clear..........then go for it!....... there will be a couple of corners when you will get the gears / speed just right and feel the back end ''dig in '' and shove you to the back of the seat as you accelerate....... when you get to the other end turn round and do it again......and again....and again.

I can almost feel a stirring in my loins at the mention of it
David. Lovely to read about how much you enjoyed your ride. I hope you continue your joy on Ducatis for the next 40 years. Great post - made my day too.
David I'm with you mate!! purchased mine in Oct, had been toying with the idea for almost a year.. Then took the plung..
After 8 years of thrashing my ZXR6/ R6, i'd go out and rag the tits off it, spending many weekends riding, and chasing bikes up in the distance, yet i'd still come home and think "Well that was OK, but i'm still thinking about sacking riding now"... Then luckily my purchase took me all the way out to Milton Keynes, the first 10 mins was "Oh my god it sounds like heaven, how many times can i drop the clutch and twist that throttle, oh is that another car alarm going off? Then the rest of the ride back to Swindon was heaven, i just wish i bought one in Glasgow now!! I came back that day like you, i just couldn't get rid of the cheesy smile.. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG????
Now looking forward to meeting up with the crowd when the weather returns...
