Hope you've all had a great summer on your bikes. not been on the site since June, been busy riding my 05 999. done 2 trips pyrennes and north wales(bikers retreat) had a great time on both trips. The dukes done 4000 trouble free miles since may, i luv the thing. hav'ent had the querqy problems i had with my 03 749 in the early days. I would say that Ducati have sorted this bike!.
