If big business wants to put money into Ducati as an investment and it does not work, then thats life.
As customers of Ducati we end up paying due to the size of the company in higher purchase/running costs, but that is our choice.
Harley was bailed out several times as it was the only viable US bike manufacturer, not because it was any good.
This was supported by my bike riding American friends who were equally annoyed they were spending tax payers dollars keeping them afloat.

There are no blinkered stereotype views here!

A few observations on the original thread - under review.

Its always difficult to gauge someones intent in a posting without the use of a smilie or some specific note.

I think the original thread would of been fine if it had simply gone along the lines of "A rider was too close behind traffic and nearly lost it" without lauching into what "looks like" an attack on Harley riders.

If its wasnt a dig at Harley riders and their lifestyle choice why were the extra comments made at the end of the thread?

Finally - the Webteam that is reviewing the post is composed of three people which includes myself, Eamonn and Mark - so a decision will be made by agreement.

Considered and respectful argument is always allowed on the board, which is why I'm pleased to see the discussion continue in that way - here.

Kind Regards - Frank
