Ulvetanna and LoneRanger, thx for the huge amount of info and back stories, much appreciated!
Ulvetanna what ducs do or did you ride?
Ducatis seem more than any other brand (Harleys too) a clear I-know-what-I-want-and-I-know-what-I-can-expect-but-I don't-mind kind of choice, a way of life rather than the most rational choice where one happily accepts quirks and minor mishaps
Lonerangers shows this perfectly
Summing up all kinds of stuff that would make a typical Honda lover go mad, I assume.
That said, if you know thats all 'typical Ducati' and at the end of the day it does what it has to do, namely ride, one could accept those quirks.
So seems to me its a matter of adopting your mindset to the new reality when owning such a bike.
What I like here is the honesty of you guys, saying what it is and not pretending it to be something it aint.
