A lady walked up to it, and we chatted a bit. Turns out she was 72, had been riding for years. She said that she sensed she wouldn't be able to ride for very many more years, and wanted her last bike to be something really fun. Gotta admire that!
I asked her how she liked it. She bought it new, and had been riding it for six months. When I asked her about reliability, she said it was excellent. "So far, it's got a few thousand miles on it, and I've only had to replace the starter and a few other things."
Ha, ha. Notice how the first thing to go was "electrical-related". Ducati are at least consistent.
Granny on a Ducati - I wish I could have seen that.
