Ducati ownership, be honest now, do you spend heaps per year.

Redsps · 26-Jul-2005, 23:54

during the course of my ducati ownership I have worked out that per year I spend way to much££££ on my bikes and extras.
There is no way that this level of spending could be justified if it was not a duke, why is this, or does it just go with the territory as they say.

It has only become this way since becoming involved in dukes etc, never really spent anywhere near as much on other makes of bikes and extra's. Even though I spent more time riding my other bikes prior to getting into dukes.

From lots of post on the board etc, there are a lot of other duke owners doing similar.
how many are there of you that spend shed loads on your dukes and extra's.

yes .. shedloads ... and then some .....

ive always spent as much as i can afford/borrow on my bikes but more on the duke, i think with the duke you can buy higher quality extra's as well as the service costs but its worth it in the long run, what else sets the heart beating like a ducati on full chat or just glinting in the sun after a wash

I dont wanna even think about how much I've spent on bikes and bike related stuff.

No that's just the cost of repairing the damage that the old one did when it broke (EK)

P.s Lintek/Frank thomas have great customer support

But they must be on Mars as been waiting 8 weeks for reply to my emails

Anything else is just a bike, but a Duke is a love affair.....
