Default Ducati on the Wall

Did anyone see grand designs tonight? The guy put a real 916 on his wall in the living room. Looked brilliant!

We were watching it, but the phone rang just before that bit - so had to turn the goggle box down. Did he say why? Or was it just because he could?

Waste of a bike me thinks.

They look brilliant anywhere.

He said it was an iconic bike or something. And said he had another bike that he was going to put up as well but the wife said no

Meh what a waste of a perfectly good bike, It should be on the road being ridden not hung up on the sodding wall.

Good point well made, funds dicated it sat in the garage for a while though, still better in there than put on the wall though...

Damn, i missed it tonight. We usually see it too.

Come on guys, you'd all have a bike on the wall if you could get away with it.

Anyways, it's not dipped in formaldehyde. If he feels like going for a blast, just wheel it out the patio doors.

Don't people usually hang hunting trophies on the wall?

Has he got the rider hanging up on another wall somewhere?
