Some of the old timers may recall i did a demo day a long time ago in 2008. It was a KTM Rc8 in the morning and a Ducati 1098S in the afternoon.
I was stunned at the time just how good the 1098S was and how it went, handled, stopped and felt.... Just bloody brilliant.
Circumstances never worked out and the planets never really aligned.... until today.
Today i've just been and paid for this beast of a machine after Mrs Weeksy gave it a test ride.
It's just lovely... lovely in so many ways i can't even count...
As for what happens with me and not riding bikes, well i think we can safely say i will ride this, i simply cannot resist a ride on a 1098S, especially one i own !
The only thing Mrs Weeksy didn't like was the gearing, too lumpy, so we'll chuck a slightly smaller front sprocket on there to sort that...
The Termis are LOUD... proper proper Ducati loud ..
I've owned and liked loads of bikes over the years, i've been through squillions as you're aware... but i've never wanted a bike as much as a 1098... none, ever.. ever ever.
