Ducati just released the Formula 73 which honors the 1972 Imola race that put Ducati on the map as a road racing manufacturer .  Only 873 units will be bult.  I wish it had a bigger engine but it is a good looking bike and I'm sure Ducati will sell every one

So sorry to hear that news.  RIP Bella. 

 

Lust isn't my reaction, but it does look nice. Paul Smart'ish yes. Also a little like the new Guzzi?

Man I hate posting in this thread coz it's never good, but the above mentioned Jackie boy's sister, Bella met her fate today after a long wonderful life. 16 years old.
I saw it coming from a few months away so I would often let her sit on my lap while I read in the evenings. She always loved that and purred away happily. See you on the other side my kitties. 

The first new Ducati in years that I've lusted after....













When I first saw it I thought it was somebody's very cool custom Paul Smart-ish Scrambler.... but apparently this is a factory job.  I want one.

Good afternoon. Got my taxes done!
