new guy here
 

and as seems traditional am at the bar, ready to get the beers in.......

but also, just got a yella 749, and got a shot at some of these testrastretta leathers in yellow.

Whats the concensus then

a bit over the top and naff on a yella bike

or

or pretty cool

cheers

Welcome and congrats on the new Duc :cool:

A beer for me, please :D

I'd have a glass of the red stuff, but am off out in a min - so I'll take a raincheck for a good bottle later:D

Welcome - and do complete your location, so we know where to hide from the blaze of yellow :P

Charlotte

Welcome mate :cool:


Make mine a cider :D

Hi a Baloo.

Mines a bud and a pair of sun glasses to tone down the yellow glare :cool:

Pretty dam cool if you ask me, nothing better than to match your leathers with the bike . Ill have a Pint of Best while welcoming you to the DSC site . 4D

Shouldn't there be a seperate forum for yellow bikes?

As for yellow leathers AND a yellow bike:o

''Sorry mate ...didn't see you''.....because I was blinded:D

Welcome Baloo

Is this your first ducati?

Thank you I'll have a wine....red of course.

Phil

welcome, fruit juice for me please. guess you wont be on too many of our rideouts!

yellow matching leathers?

well you already made your first mistake going down the yellow brick road in the first place.;)

but matching leathers look great if you can ride well. come to think of it, it didnt stop me , so just go for it!

welcome Sir from the Mad one!!

Pint of Stella please

nice choice mate, but watchout for the wasps in the summer :lol:

Welcome, Budvar please - delightfully chilled...

Yellow is a personal statement I guess

Red is an exclusive lifestyle choice

.....but at least you have joined the elite ranks of the Ducatisti

(.............hmmmmmm that made more sense when I thought it, hey ho...)

Hi, Welcome and a Glass of Dry White please.
Yellow will be great with your bike but a Red 749 would have been better:D

Don't take any notice of us Baloo ---It's all meant in fun:D:D

me? ride great? Dont think so! Just mildly competent. Not crashed yet, but some would say am not trying hard enough then!

I had noticed this red/yella debate on the board.

Tell me, how can red be "exclusive" when everyone has one! Thats why I went yella. :lol::lol::lol:

Anyway, yes, first duke. Taking me a while to get used to the twin, but enjoying it.

Drinks up!

easy now yeller dweller :D

yeah, sure seems like a ball in here. Pity am on the wrong side of the pond:lol:

:D Welcome to the madness.Big mistake yellow,at least 10mph off top end,and with matching leathers you'll be the quickest banana in the west:D

welcome, I have no idea about the leathers, and some might say thats why I too have a yellow bike, but I dont believe it.

Anyone any ideas why 748s seemed to sell more in yellow than 749s? The ratio between red and yellow does not seem so one sided on 748s than 749s

simple... the 99* range should be red (or black if you are cool enough), the 74* range should be yellow, with the exception of the 749 as that's just a girl's bike anyway :P






apart from the 749r which is cool, but not in yellow!!







did i mention i used to have a yellow bike... deffo the quickest ;)

Welcome aboard and mine's a pint of merlot please.

Take no notice of the red/yellow debate. I used to have a yellow 749S but have seen the error of my ways and come back from the dark side.

:lol::lol::lol:

I have a theory about bike names and Ducati colours I will let you know about the next time I see you Chris. I wont post it here as I would get barred from the club

:devil:

Milk of Magnesia Please, in a tall glass with Ice and a slice!!


The leathers... Dont do it

Guinness please.
Welcome aboard.

welcome and mine is a pint of wye valley pale ale


Mark

Thanks for the welcome.

Seems the vote from the UK Jury on the leathers was

Cool 4
Not Cool 5
Abstentions 5

Still undecided,

If you like them go for it

thats the thing, am not sure. they are so loud, gotta be brave to wear the big banana

welcome, Irn bru please, yellow leathers maybe a bit sudden

Not sure about this red and yellow debate...go stealth!
Once you've had black you never go back and all that! ;)

Oh! Go for the leathers...stuff this lot...got no idea about street cred!
Oh mines a Drambuie...Large no ice...

Baloo??? does that mean you're a large cuddly bear...???
You'll be warm in that one piece then:smug:

Hi Baloo,

I'm for Red too, but yellow is cool.....

As for the matching leathers, good idea! I got matching red, then gone and brought a second blue bike and have to start again.... Black matches anything.

Vodka for me..cheers

Andy

Black leathers go with everything and never date. And always classy.

Coke no ice please.

And welcome to the forum.
