Had a brilliant time there in 2009, such a fantastic atmosphere among the visitors, let alone with all the racing and events going on! Plenty of pics on my facebook for you to peruse.  I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather, than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins Ducati 748S | Ducati Hypermotard 1100S | Ducati Panigale V4 SP #876 | 600-620SS DesmoDue Racebike #111 <-- Sold!! | ||

I'm still enjoying my differing bikes but have to do half of the things on your list. I dont think there are many things better than seeing a child share a similar passion to your own... but after seeing a few classic racing Ducati's, I think karting and getting an older lady in your garage might be just the tonic you need   Regards - Frank | |

Not doing the Giro this year Annette-however, we will be on your doorstep since we are booked into the Farmhouse Villa Terreno in Ruffino for the 1st-3rd July-apparently there is a race somewhere nearby and there is a new rider on the red bike?? Hopefully catch up with you when we are over. John Growing old-disgracefully! | ||

| Registered Forum User Ducati Corse  Posts: 3,555 Join Date: May 2001 Location: North Yorkshire Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear! Thanks for some some interesting replies. I rode a DD bike for a good few laps of cadwell a few years ago and really enjoyed it, if I could use the 998 in class B I might just be able to keep up with the back end of the grid  Can't see me moving on from track days to racing a bike, the idea is to spend a bit less time and money on it! Can't see me selling the 998 to replace it with a newer model or even with an older model. Mothballing the bike seems like a sensible option, it's not going to eat anything up. Then maybe do the touring class of the motogiro in a few years time. Maybe I won't resist the temptation to wheel it out when the sun comes out. Ray | |
