Cycle News story about new Duc plant and moving some production to Thailand. Hope this isn't a derby.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

:o :o :o
Forget Thailand!

QuoteJust 300 meters from the factory where Ducati first began making electrical components in 1935, Ducati is building a new larger manufacturing plant which will not only increase the size of the production floor, but also include more space for other functions.

The new 134,600 square meters (15% larger than the current site) site will include 55,000 square meters of floor area, of which 13,500 square meters will be office and educational/communication/services and 41,500 square meters for production, R&D, Ducati Corse and warehouses, with the possibility of building an additional 11,000 square meters of floor space for future expansion.

Ducati is building a second building 15% larger than the current office/factory/warehouse?  Right in Borgo?

It doesn't say they are demolishing the original either, so it is additional capacity??

WOW

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

maybe the added storage capacity is to store items we want to buy from December to February and we can't get until April?  [evil]
Can we thin the gene pool?
