It’s funny how a make of bike can have an unreliability stigma, although most are true. I remember at the ‘95 Bol d’Or, virtually every recovery truck had a Ducati strapped on the back. Nearly all were current, at the time, 900SS’s. Now owners are putting some serious miles on Multistradas, but most seem to be sold before the 3 years are up

Leave it until next Sunday, and come to Cornwall for the day. You’d certainly get the highest mileage travelled award
Did you go down towards Hereford. Certainly a nice part of the country, know it quite well
Oh no . Hope she’s ok, bet that dented her confidence more than the bike. At least she had an escape route by the sound of it. Hopefully you can both get out again soon, get some miles under the wheels, and put that days event firmly in the past.
Ouch…cracked ribs take ages to heal, something like 6 months in the couple of occasions it’s happened to me. Going up to the bar always gives you a reminder, as you lean on the bar to get served and give yourself a dig in the ribs . Still I suppose wives aren’t “getting them in” that often .

And the best bit by far, we're moving at the end of this month. She's doing all the packing of stuff, whilst I've been busy working. Still - I've yet to straighten the indicator stalk, which will mean hours in the garage making sure its the same as the other one...........
Hey Robbo, long time no speak. Sorry, I've not been on here for AGES. How are things, Sir? But what a comeback, I'm winning on this thread!
