And this is news because? :smt015

I'm a fan of the Royal Family, but I think this must've been a slow news day. :smt069
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I've always wondered how "the minders" keep up and what were they going to do during the "picnic"? Look the other way hopefully.
I believe his big brother has a Ducati 1098. I'm no ardent Royalist (especially since these Hanoverians ousted the rightful Jacobite dynasty :smt001 ) but I do think this generation are as normal as their circumstances permit and it can only be good for us if they're bikers/motorcyclists.

Random check my arse!

Putney Bridge is a known lets target bikes police hangout. If i travel over it 20 times a month i'll be stopped at least 8 or 9 times. The last time was last week and I got the same copper from 2 days previous.

It sed to be something like if. The same copper stopped you 3 times in a week it was harassment or something like that ... Of course I prolly remembered that wrong. It's that long since I met a real plod and not some glorified mobile traffic warden. In fact I actually can't recall the last time I met a real plod :smt017
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I've searched with interest for the official Ducati Picnic Hamper Attachment but I can't find it listed.
How do you transport your Doris along with your best china, champers, quails eggs, caviare, cucumber-sandwiches-with-the-crusts-cut-off-cut-into-triangles etc etc without a special wicker container modified to clip to your Ducati?

That's simple it goes in the luggage of the plod BMW tourer just behind you.
They keep their eyes open until they've got it out!
Then it is eyes discreetly shut until the "picnic is over! :smt002

I thought the picnic was ginger sausage on a stick....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
