Got this email this morning....

Dear readers
As you may have already heard, Ducati recently announced they're going to build a V4 bike for the road. It will be an adaptation of their current GP bikes (ridden by Bayliss and Capirossi), will be a limited edition, not available until 2006 and will cost around £35,000!

Basically, it will be legendary and highly, highly desirable. Ducati have never, ever made a four cylinder road bike so, in the world of motorcycling, it's pretty big news.

I'm due to interview a couple of the bikes' designers tomorrow and would be interested to know what YOU would like to know about this new bike. So, if there's anything you'd like me to fire at them, please email me back asap and I'll see if I can get some answers for you.

To see the finished article, don't forget to get the August issue of RiDE, on sale 15th July.
Hope to hear from you soon
Liisa

PS: This email has been sent to multiple recipients. If you wish to be removed from our mailing list or want your details updated, please let me know and I'll sort it out for you asap. Please remember to include the old address so I can find you!

PPS: Forgive me if you respond and don't hear further from me. I don't mean to be rude but sometimes there just isn't time to get back to everyone.

I heard the Bike Mad Footballer wasn't allowed to ride bikes due to a clause in his contract?

To cut a long story short he took no notice when he was told by the manager at the time that if he rode the bike again he wouldn't play for the club again.

Liked riding bike more than playing premiership football?, the latter avenue of pleasure is now closed off to all the players now!!

Ray.
