Spot on, David. I've been out on my Monster today. She is now tucked up in the garage, covered in mud - just from ordinary country lane riding. I went hither and thither today, absolutely loving it


I can't put my finger on exactly what it is that Ducati does for me. All I know is, I could quite happily have done another 300 miles, time and daylight permitting, and I would have had the same grin on my face as I did when I got home at 5 pm with a rucksack packed with the Sunday Times and the Sunday dinner. Nice to see your post up here.
How mucky is you bike, ce soir???
