[TP]

Sorry Darren - got all mixed up there!

It is a good dilemma to have Desmondo, I agree. I've recently changed roles and so my commute is mainly to Sunbury with one or two days a week in Hemel Hempstead or in Bank. Having said that I am a contractor so it could all change tomorrow and my commute could be from the bedroom downstairs to the toaster in the mornings and thats it!

I had considered buying a little Japanese bike, and it makes perfect sense but I want a Ducati. I can't justify it at all - I just want one I've owned a ZZR600 before (amongst other things) and it was a good bike .. but thats it, just a good bike. I want more and can afford more now and I really love the Ducati's so I want to fulfill that desire to own them. Ultimately I would like to have a garage full of the lovely Italian beauties If the wife gets her house when we are back in Oz and we travel reasonably regularly and the kids are all schooled up etc we can't see any reason why we shouldn't have a 'stable' of Ducati's. I'm just getting started now ...

Last night I went through the Multi forum on this board and jumped over to the multistrada.net site as well and had a good look around. I'm leaning towards a Mulitstrada at the moment so we'll just have to see how we get on.

Thanks for all your input so far, it's good to see other people's opinions. It's interesting that no-one else frequenting this board appears to have ordered a Sports Classic model .. does that reflect some thinking in the 'Why join DSC' thread about the DSC being mainly (not strictly) about modern Ducati's and not the bevel's? I know the Sport Classics aren't bevels but you know where I'm going ... let me clarify though, I don't think that's a bad thing. Horses for courses and all that.

hrmmm ... (he says tapping his chin)
