Well having spoken to Hurst's a couple of minutes ago, I can categorically state that YES - Ducati do read these boards! Apparently the Scottish rep phoned Hurst's to tell them about this thread, so now I'll have to watch my p's & q's. Maybe somebody will tell DM and Twinfan will receive a call about the availabilty of a coutesy bike. Kinda makes you feel good knowing that people power still exists.

By the way - Hurst's rock!

Or Ducati's reputation on the line?

Imagine if say someone out there with said 749/999 was killed and the police were to get involved, bike gets impounded and forensics get involved and identify a faulty brake component... Huge press exposure, good-bye sales...

This is all hypothetical, and if anything these are hopefully isolated incidents, and from what we know so far no-one has been seriously hurt.

The good news is Twinfan has been offered a bike, and it looks like the powers that be are getting involved and communicating to the masses.

Good work Ducati UK
