Another new boy
 

Hi everyone .... I have been browsing the forum for a while & thought I'd better join !!!,
I am fairly badly afflicted ... I've had a 916, then a 996SPS, lost the plot for a couple of weeks last year & bought an R1.
Hated that so tried a 999 and went back to a 998 FE in March.

A voyeur?...mmmm!
;)

Hullo Martin! Welcome to the board...Mines a Virtual Drambuie Ta!

:P

Hi Martin
I see your not to far from me and a few of the other Oxon members, I saw someone with a new FE over Fox's diner several weeks back, was it you ?
Anyway Welcome and hope to meet you some time.

Yes ...I popped over on the bank holiday .... Monday evenings are normally a pain cos of leaving work late.....

I seem to have got away with a cheap round at the virtual bar... best we have a virtual chaser then


Cheers

Martin

Uhm...no...I'm in here with a load of mates...so that will be a stella chaser...with a double........

Welcome back to the Ducati fold!! Glad you saw the error of your ways!!

At least you ended up with the right bike(aren't those 999's ugly)!!!:lol::lol:

Well I can't post this without upsetting some of you... but to answer ... I just couldn't fall in love with it.
I couldnt justify the four figure Termignomi (especially on a non "S" )so it didn't sound right, I couldn't believe anyone could design a bike with less storage space than Tambourini's finest, the front end felt a bit vague ( although this could be sorted) and the mirrors !!!!!

I was desperately trying to live with it when I sat on a mate's 998 which just felt so right ....so I bit the bullet.

Happydays are here again

They certainly are ;)
