Pretty much sums it up, and the weather and roads were better ;)

I went past Loomies and thought i saw one of the village people looking a little lost, those chaps looked tight:rolleyes:

Erm, I've just bought one
It is an amazing , if somewhat left field offering for Ducati ....

Welcome to the Diavel section :devil:

And thank you very much ...
I will also be returning to the UK shortly as well, so will get more involved than last time!:D

I just don't see any Duc DNA
Felt emabarresed even sitting on one at my local dealer
I'm probably it's target market, old, overweight, low miles.
Feels like giving in.
Would you give it a little stroke as you left the garage for the night?
PS anybody seen the new DP leather chaps?

Diavel looks orsam in black. Feel the need to have one to add to my collection

There was a Black one in Dave Woods workshop last week, he had just been playing with remapping it on the Dyno, so probably even more of a beast now

I rode one of these in the 'test ride' area at the NEC bike show in 2012, I'd passed my test a year and asked the guy booking in the test rides, "I'm new to bikes, I have a 99 SV650, what would you recommend I rode today"? He came back with, "Why would you come here with all these nice bikes and ride the new SV? Try a Ducati Diavel, you'll be fine on that.........

I got all my gear on and walked over to the group of bikes waiting for us, as I had no idea what a Diavel was I waited till everyone had hopped onto their bikes, realised which was mine and just stood there staring at this beast!!
The rear tyre was huge!
It was a wet morning in Brum and I was advised to "ride like I had bald tyres, as it was a bit of a beast in the wet". Needless to say I was a little nervous, but after a while I got used to her, in a straight line! Roundabouts were a different story, I probably burnt that clutch right out!
I spent the next few months telling anyone who'd listen what I'd ridden, promptly followed by emails containing googled images of the beast.
Great experience if slightly scary!
