Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > OK - is it time for a new DSC President? YOU DECIDE :D

[MJS]

I'm happy with the idea of Foggy as President, British and totally succesful on Ducati's... who else could be better?

If the fact he's no longer involved is a problem, then my money's on Hodgson - British, reigning world champion on a Ducati, currently racing a Ducati at the highest level... and a genuine nice guy...

[yeti]

Oh come on! How on earth can we possible condone having a president who is running a rival team, and hasn't been heard to say a decent word about Ducati in the longest time.

[AK]

Henners, under the current ruling, how long is a president allowed to be at the helm?

A 2 year term would be a good idea, as already said.

Shame the gorgeous Mr Zaus isnt on the list.... (if he had been ,I'd have created lots of accounts on here to vote for him!!! - e as a luvrly bum)

Paul Smart would be a very active & sociable President tho

It wouldn't be for the message board to decide anyway, it's an AGM vote by the DSC paid up membership surely:P

Tin hat on, and Foggy stays

[nelly]

have to be flappa for me. Smart running a close second.
Both Ducati legends. As with Foggy, the others could be wearing someone elses leathers next year????

It seems silly to suggest any of the current racers as they'll probably be off to another team in a year or so anyway. I say sticke with somebody who when you think of them, you think of Ducati. If that means staying with Foggy then so be it. I quite like him anyway.

Frankie won't sack himself so he should be on a Duke for the rest of his racing days, but how long will that be?

Agreed Roy - just checking the appetite for change - expect a resolution at the next AGM.

This is why I reckon it should be Paul Smart. That name is indelibly associated with Ducati ever since the Imola 200. That race put Ducati back on the map in racing and was the first success of the L twin that all of our bikes have evolved from today.

You know it makes sense.

Flappa gets my vote! Ex works rider,still wears the Ducati "uniform",travels over Europe to race meetings off his own bat & he's loved at the Ducati factory!!

[Iconic944ss]

If our El Presidente is supposed to be a rider then really, even for a nipper like me it can only be Mike Hailwood !!!

Failing that how about Tambourini / Taglioni etc (sorry for naff spelling).
