Uglystrada - oh yes!
Discussion
Well the Guzzi goes on Thursday, thanks to PH, so after trying to decide between a tiger and a multistrada, I visited both shops yesterday and the Ducati showroom again this morning.
No demonstrator available but several very pleased customers there, along with a red one, a black one and a silver one on order.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, it had to be the red one didn't it.
The tiger seemed a rather heavy bike and the uglystrada is much lighter and should be more fun. Oh well - we'll see.
But at least I can now say 'I've got a Ducati!' - or I will have on Friday.
Can't wait..

Bugger!
Insurers won't cover me as, even at 49, you need 3 years biking experience to cover it and I'm just approaching one year.
There goes the £250 deposit and looks now like either a tiger or tdm900.
Never thought that an old git like me could have this problem.
The right up in 'Bike' was a bit offputting too.

Thanks guys.
Used Ducati Insurance line and was quoted £564.00 so problem appears to be solved.
So I will still have a Ducati - not that the Tiger is a second placed option, its a cracking bike too!!
Pick it up Friday morning - can't wait.......

thats expensive, it was only 350 ukp for my zorst...It is bloody dear so hesitated on ordering them, but it is tempting.
I'm really impressed with the bike and I no longer think that its ugly.
The problem is that, on our site, there's a motorcycle training school and the examiners keep asking to borrow it - mind you they all come back raving about the handling.
