Ducati on the Wall

but its a mechanical object, ment for use....ducati design their engines to have the living hell thrashed out of them. Sort of common knowledge that those dukes that get used, are the ones that are most reliable

pah

maybe im just jelous

Well it would make more sense if the duke was stood on the floor for the fella to take to bits when he felt like having a tinker but who knows. Must just be about impressing people with wealth and such things...wouldn't impress me though, I'd be telling him to take it down and let me play!

i wouldnt even have a duke. i'd have an RC30. with fluids in and ready to riiiddddeee

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

SO he finally caught and shot the lesser spotted but big mouthed Carl Fogarty

Come on, theres probably hundreds of Ducatis sitting in garages that havent moved in years! Hang it on a wall.

Isn't that a V8 wine rack ?
Can do you the base of a Ferrari F1 rear wheel coffee table + 2 fronts as stools.

The beauty of an object is derived from its function. 'Form Follows Function', this has been the tenant of modern design. By hanging the Ducati on the wall, the Ducati ceases being a designed and functional marvel of engineering and becomes a purely decorative object. This is typical of the confused post-modern fad for decoration over function.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.................... - is that you?

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen! I've been called worse things before. The only thing we have in common is that we're both products of an art education and are both designers - albeit of a different kind. Oh, and we both like pink.
