But you own a ducati! the £200 are your payments for breakdown cover.

Funny seeing I rode the 1098..............S round Europe and didn't have 1 bolt fall out or 1 problem...started everytime and the bike was on the road for 5 hours a day atleast....

and servicing costs only a lil bit more than normal IL4 services....

Early models yes,916 era and early 999s..but 848/1098...no chance....

Do keep up with the times gents.

13. Ducati and the bits are still falling off

Dont get me wrong, I like the 1098. Right up to the point that ducati strted selling them on Chav finance to anyone they could. Now they are all ridden by chav cocks just like Audi's are driven by Chav cocks.

I think the free membership might have even been given to the first 30.

However this was done back in early 2004 whilst I was launching the members area. Yes 3 of those accounts were mine. As 1 for admin (+1 back up) and 1 test user for me to test out users permissions.

Many of the first 30 have not been back for ages now so have been removed, hence why some people may look higher on the list then they actually were at the time.

If you were one of the first 30 then we would know about. I will leave this topic open for more bitching if you wish but our decision is final.

I will be writing a post on memberships shortly so watch this space
