I'm with the Paul Smart camp if the AGM votes a change 'cos he's a great guy, he's based in the UK and I know he'd take a keen interest in the club - which Foggy never has. I suppose its whether you want a figurehead or a 'working' President.

Yeah, what he said

Oh you seem to have such short memories...
.... Ducati in this country would not be as it is today without Foggy. Yep he is and always was obnoxious, but you ask almost any man in the street who they associate with Ducati and they will say Foggy. I've voted to keep the status quo, much as everyone agrees Paul Smart is a sterling fellow.

Frank - Mike Hailwood - is there not a slight technical hitch there?

And Baylissboy - Falappa travels 'off his own bat'. Are you sure about that?

That actually includes last night shenanigans trying to win bits of billet - not very many of those actually came from today. I wouldn't be surprised it it's more a rolling 24 hour period it works that out from.

And you couldn't afford me :P

Judging by the grin on your face on the home page, Lizzie, I felt sure you'd be voting for James, as I did. No logic behind that choice other than (a) rides a bike like a god and (b) plays piano similarly. Two things I aspire to and (at this stage in life) ain't likely to achieve.

Nah, if I'm honest, totally girlie vote, no technical backing whatsoever.

Interestingly, Foggy was interviewed in Sunday Times 3 or 4 weeks ago fully admitting how obnoxious he is and comparing himself to some other (deceased) rider, whose name I don't recall, saying how alike they were. If your going to be obnoxious, being brash about it helps.

Honestly - I don't really care. You'll all change your minds again when Foggy runs a desmosedici team

Awwww - Lizzie....

Back in 1978 Ducati persuaded Mike Hailwood to come out of retirement and returned to the TT. Here he is on the Steve Wynne prepared Sports Motorcycles Ducati 900 desmo at the Waterworks on route to his historic TT victory !!!




Please go to the headmasters office - LOL
