BaggaZee - the order took 2119 days to fulfill

Damn, £20 a day, I probably could have managed that!

Nice foresight, the conversation must have been along the lines of 'if they ever release a road version, I'll have one, no matter what'.
Cunning plan!

Very nice

I must say though, for £40k, I'd be a bit disappointed with that clear plastic bike cover

I'd make a complaint to Ducati UK if I was you mate

**Stu Pid** · 25 Jan 08, 10:04 PM

also, ive just noticed, you have 2 flat tyres

Its just not on, its OK though cos Halfords do a good puncture repair kit

**andyrh** · 25 Jan 08, 10:05 PM

Good point

But what about the two factory technicians that come with each bike?

they work for royal mail, they have no idea, you cant get better than a kwik fit fitter I say

Actually saying that, if they are tecnicians that come with the bike, Id insist that mine were female and came from Thailand........and certainly not male, bald and from Scotland

**998gsb** · 25 Jan 08, 11:42 PM

And this is what you'd end up with Stu....

Well...may be you could stay just one night,....but Im phoning Ducati first thing in the morning.....

**joff** · 26 Jan 08, 01:21 AM

Wow...that bike sounds just totally awesome...it's gonna be like riding a raging bull!!!

**jbird** · 26 Jan 08, 02:36 AM

you must be a very successful gentleman in your employment, and i wish you the best, in riding 1 of the best bikes available today.

**Lily** · 26 Jan 08, 09:36 AM

WELL!!

What can i say. Having seen the demo/launch/press bikes over the past few years at various events I knew that the bike was a stunner but what you cannot comprehend from the pictures is what this bike IS

To stand and listen to Alan Jenkins explaining how the bike came about and some of the issues he faced with it was pretty special but was nothing compared to the moment this bike started up!!

Only when you hear this bike can you really see there is truly nothing else like this on the road!! It really is a GP replica!! I got quite emotional listening to it

Scott is a very very lucky boy and I am very very jealous!!

Lily youre right about the bike in the flesh! I saw the first production bike and watched the second one being built when I visited the factory in Bologna. Just stunning!

Sadly I didnt hear it running, but have heard JHPs ex Caparosi bike - awsome!

You were doubly lucky if you saw the bike, and visited Scotland! Lucky girl!
