I have to say I do like a bit C R Mc, just in case you thought I was anti scottish.

studied some of his work at Uni, he was a bit of a master of daylight in buildings but not given the credit he deserved, in this country at least.

But his style has been very influential, am sure you see it a lot in watches

Kilt on a bike would be well drafty!! Would scare the spectators during a crash for sure :-)

I will set the wife on you

Be afraid very afraid

More of a Bauhaus fan myself, Art and music.

I thought you looked to sensible to crash, unless yer kilt lifted up over your visor.

i think all of the dukes past and present have looked damn fine
with the possible exeption of the st3/4 front end
and they have all been a real ground breakers when they were released
i just hope tthey come up with summit a bit better than what the press have been showin us

I doubt the actual bike is anything like what has been shown in the press, maybe the odd bit here or there, but thats all.

am sure the final design wont be some compromised blended affair

Of your wife, surely not.
For goodness sake, you live in Surrey, no husband beaters live here.

What would be truly radical is offering a choice of bodykit styles. I eally don't see why it's difficult given you can go to a minitwins race meeting and see any number of SV650's weaing all kinds of bodywork including 999 stuff.

Interesting proposition, more money in the pockets for Ducati.

Really. It's not difficult, is it? We are talking about a few brackets. Take a look at the DD paddock for example.

You order the bike unclothed and then specify the body kit. That way you sell a bike already customised to order and please lots of people at the same time. It's a logical extension of the DP fanchise goods anyway.

For some people the simplest ideas are the hardest to comprehend.
