Can see your point Andrew 400 there and 400 back that's 800 miles round trip and then any mileage you may clock up when there . Also depending on how people insured their car is there mileage limitations if only insured for a couple of thousand miles you could use half you allowance in one trip.
Exactly that, yup. Some of the routes to reach these destinations are crushingly dull, to boot. The one to Scotland, in particular....

Hedge - yeah, there's something about the 916-line of bikes that's just so special. Not put many miles on mine these last few years but it doesn't matter, it's worth keeping just so I can go in the garage and look at it.
Funnily nuff, having recently moved, I've just been down the local Ducati dealer in Carlisle this afternoon on a bit of a fact-finding visit. Drooled over a luvverly Panigale V4R with all the extras on it...?33.5K but even if I could afford it, I prob wouldn't cos I'd never be able to do it justice. Even assuming I could manage to get on the thing....it's crap getting old!!
Just down road from me.
Sold my KTM 690 SMCR to pay for LB exhaust last summer but missing it. (the KTM)

That's quite strong money for what it is (extra stickers & the Foggy association). A mate of mine recently bought a Foggy rep with a genuine 10 miles on it. Quite bizarre.

I've seen them going for more than that....I know Ducati made them to homologate some chassis mods, but I struggle to see why they go for so much. Same with the Senna versions. But then people will pay well over the odds for the "exclusivity". I mean, mine's a boring old Biposto and worth about ?13K on a good day (one owner, 17K miles, never dropped or wheelied, etc), so is a Foggy Rep really worth twice the price?
Steve: get out there and buy another. Life's too short!
Norm,
I hear you. Getting old is props overrated...
The 998 is basically two-wheeled porn, tbh. It's ridiculously lovely - notwithstanding it has a side stand made of cheese..
These newer R versions that Ducati churn out monotonously regularly leave me a bit cold. Anything north of 150bhp on a bike doesn't really interest me so much/ anymore (if it ever did). I know you only "need" to go as fast as your right wrist twists but, still, all this 200+ bhp shizzle is nonsense to me - on a road.
Cheers,
Hedge
