There is absolutely no doubt in my mind I would have broken that front jug in the slate quarries I used to ride in.



Operative words here being, "would have" and "used to ride in", Ian ol' boy!

Ya see, first, maybe YOU don't like this bike based upon how you rode a bike back when you were a "hellion" in your younger days, BUT at 62 y/o now days I doubt I'd be ridin' this VERY cool Ducati(if I ever purchased one, that is) in the manner in which YOU rode back in those days, and even IF there WERE "slate quarries" in MY neck of the woods around here.

(...THOUGH come to THINK of it, there IS a cement factory just a little ways away from here in Clarkdale AZ...but I doubt the Indians who own it would let me ride around in it even IF I wanted to...in other words, IF I wanted a TRUE dirtbike, I wouldn't be interested in THIS very cool Ducati...nope, 'cause I just think it looks BITCHIN', that's all!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
