Christ is this the end of a beautiful relationship?
Can't see you being bikeless for long,so how about something more suited to your real needs.
Now Rictus has a spare scooter looking for a lover.

Ha not revving enough! Love it. That clip was on a bitterly cold day and I had on summer leathers and gloves! I was perished. Pity I never filmed one of our somewhat more livelier Saturday morning runs on that road where I play chase me,chase me with Gixxer 1'000s,ZX10s and R1's. Although I dont bounce of the limiter, she certainly gets the reins relaxed a whole lot more than on this vid!


The KTM is a nice bike for sure. If I were to go for that style I would opt for the Adventure and put grippy tyres on it. I love the look of the Hypermotard and was a contributor to Ducati's market research programme when they were thinking of making the bike. Could be a hoot to ride that but it would have to be a second bike if you were so fortunate.

I have this hankering for a sharp V4 for sound and handling reasons.

I popped a few ads out for the Ducati yesterday and already i am getting enquiries and not to far off the price I am looking for. Thing is, although I should be pleased to get interest so quickly, I actually feel even worse now about selling her!

It's getting to the .."no going back now stage" a guy is coming to see the bike on Saturday. He is bleeding me with the offer he is making and I am gutted. Just how do I force myself to enthuse about her so that he buys her? I will be singing her praises and thinking,"yeah that's true so why you f*cking selling her?"

Well that is it, she's gone. I write with a lump in my throat....one that a nice looking wedge of euro notes does not help clear. The first to come and view(he travelled 500km to do so) bought her.

Jeez I loved that bike.
