I know it's each to their own but ducatis really don't do much for me.
The older ones look ok but I couldn't live with the clutch noise or the added expense for the "luxury" of owning one.
So the battery went on mine at the weekend, could happen to any bike after not moving for the best part of six months.
The only reason that I'm thinking of changing it is that abike has come available that I really wouldn't mind owning and it's quite special.
If I don't get a decent offer on mine, then I'll happily keep it.

Looks like it was a failed plate in the battery.
New ones working fine, bikes been through its heat cycles and the EM light has gone too (EM light stays on when the battery is changed according to the handbook).

I had a little chat to the shop today too and started talking figures..

If all goes well, I could have a new toy in a week or 2 anyway




Mike and KJ are being treated with the contempt they both deserve...
