(Lemon) Pope-Cycle

#1 Post by D-Rider » Wed Sep 15, 2010 3:42 pm

It has often been debated as to which is God's own motorcycle and the Bible tells us that the sound of King David's Truimph was heard throughout the land ..... so I guess it should be no surprise to hear that the Pope has just taken delivery of a couple of Ducatis (which may lead you to question that Papal Infalibility stuff ....)

Not much point in that as he'd only have a handfull of races before Stoner's on a Honda .... there again maybe his Popeness will become part of Jerry Burgess' crew supporting Ducati No 46

As do the police in Athens.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

If Rossi takes next year's MotoGP title on a Ducati there will be a new Pope shortrly afterwards, with white tyre smoke being emitted from the Vatican chimney.
