I had a mate who had a Ducati Monster 690. He loved it at first, but it developed an intermittent fault. The Ducati dealer insisted there was nothing wrong with it until, conveniently or otherwise, the warranty expired. He sold it and bought a Honda.
I rode with him one day when he first had it and thought it a great little bike.
On the subject of ropes and towing, back in the 70s my Suzuki 250 blew a spark plug out of the head in the middle of the night on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. A mate, who didn't have an open license, lent me his Honda CB350 and, with his girlfriend on the back, he towed me to our destination.
