This used to be a family orientated site. Wives/husbands/Partners/Lovers (who were not even riding) could join in and be part of the Ducati Scene. Nowadays I see very little of the fun and family part of this site/club.

Yep,I dont visit that much either these days.When I click onto 'today's posts' its full of DD stuff that I can't get too excited about.
Most folk around here think that Ducati stopped making bikes in 2002 so there is'nt much happening on the tech help/problem pages.
For various reasons my local 'branch' the BHCN has virtually died,so nothing for me in the rideout section either.Not that I could ride very far at the moment.This nasty disease and treatment I have makes me very tired,so I have to pick and choose my moments.
I'll keep looking around the board for the time being,but I am rapidly loosing interest.

I'm pretty sure they did

Although I did ride a Ducati once that was supposed to have been built in 2007, wasn't too sure though as it was only a journo that told me it was a new Ducati, could have been an R1 though

I've heard you can't even be sure it's a Ducati these days by counting up the cylinders. I've read on the interned that Ducati recently made a big batch of four cylinder bikes, that cost over £40,000 a go Where did that story come from?
Maybe it's true or maybe it's a rumour put about by Kev's carbon who do a bodykit to gyp up shonky old Ducatis that you can't get the panels for anymore.

Got to go... the red V yellow debate is kicking off in the members section again.

Ray.
