back on track, i reckon i might get a decent trade in!:eureka::D:frog:

They were £37k new, maybe more than that now :-)
I wonder too how many were sold. Three, maybe? ;)

BIG ANNONCEMENT ON HERE, HYPE AT WDW.

The start the ball rolling, awards etc for various reasons. Roll out the racers, wow what a greeting Chilli got and the GP boyz....

Then the big announcement........... place goes dark, fitting sound track from space odyssey plays, smoke pours from the stage, crowd start cheering, music gets louder, more smoke, then something appears to rise from the stage, crowd go even more mad, the smoke lightens, you can begin to see what has been the hype from ducati for 2+ weeks.........

A FRIGGIN ENGINE!! NO BIKE!! :flame::flame::flame::flame:

I got the daggers from the other half, cos we waited on for 2 hours to see an engine :flame: , :lol: Cost me a large dinner in Rimini!

Was the major anti climax of 2004 so far. :flame:

As Dibble said, got to agree.

Nice weather mind

Mark wot a bummer.......Been waiting for you to post some pics:(:(:(:....... If im not in when you pop over could you leave the swingarm round the back !!!( :roll::roll:

With allowance for inflation that would easily be £50K by todays standards, makes the proposed new Ducati look cheap in comparison.
Don't suppose there is any chance that V4 engine would fit in my 916 chassis.

Rtlr,

You won't get the two you want i'm afraid old chap.
I have just despatched a flunky to the factory to buy every one they make, gonna have a few mates round for our own one make race series!!

Another flunky is on his way to see the FIM to buy the rights to the WSB title. Whoever wins our little for fun only series can then call themselves WSB champion!!

I suppose I could send all the bikes round to your place when we have finished with them, at your convenience of course!!

Must go the Times has just been ironed ready for me to read!!

Ray.

I think I have had a little too much sun this weekend!! time for a lie down!!

Don't worry boys, there'll be a proper production version along soon enough (maybe).:lol:

Dave,

I would have, had it been worth it. I took nearly 100 odd pictures over the weekend, take a while to crop, re-size then post. :)

I'll ring you either tonight or tomorrow, only had 3 hours kip.

OK who is it,

I was collecting my bike from Cobb & Jagger yesterday after the second service and Glen advised that he has already taken a £ 3,500 deposit on a V4 balance payable in 2006!

...No, it's not me! I'm just testing the board to see if it still has a supply of 'smug' smileys left.

Desmosedici owners around here are gonna need them.
