**Jimmy996** · 16 Aug 08, 09:41 AM

just had it drop on the doorstep this morning (I subscribe, it will not be on the shelves for a while)

Should be called Ducati monthly!!

999 vs SP2 write up then a double page on the 9** and another full page with a big picture of Hugh Goodspeed on his 1098 tric

Thanks for the exposure RiDE!!!

Going to get a copy now, if the local newsagent has one.

Isn't that the magazine that did a feature on the ST series, and banged on about the ST2's 'air cooled 900ss motor' ?

On the matter of bike mags - anyone got a copy of April 08's SuperBike magazine? I was bored the other day and re-reading it and noticed on page 69 (no less) that the "Pirelli" wording on the fairing of the white 848 has been changed to "Penis".

Art compiler having some fun methinks! Working his notice? He may well be now!

Yes Mark it was. Their researchers were obviously doing their jobs!!

Only buy DIRE as a last resort if i've run out of other bike mags to read

Clearly the Art Compiler was a bit of a c#ck!

Worth looking at a copy of September RIDE Magazine when you are next in Smiths (or even buying it!)
Front cover is picture of 999s Headlined

"WSB winner at an Unbelievably Low Price"

Big article inside and comparison with SP2

the guy with the sexy 1098 is a regular a boxhill...

**royum** · 20 Aug 08, 08:37 PM

Well I do go there frequently, but it's a bit too much to claim I'm a regular?

Oh, you don't mean me.....

By the way, all 1098's are sexy so who is it?

**jezjay** · 20 Aug 08, 09:21 PM

It's me. Went along to see what was happening after reading posts on here and got roped in as I was the only 1098 owner there.

We'll have to meet up then, nice Tric by the way.

Yes Jimmy, yellow 748 as that is the colour to have (IMHO) which is basically how I ended up buying a Tricolore - I didn't want a red 1098 and the yellow option had not been announced at the time I placed my order so I only had one other choice and I am quite pleased that it worked out that way now as it always gives me a fantastic feeling every time I open the garage and see it in there.

Only downside I can't afford the leathers to match at the moment hence the colour uncoordination (?) but one day........................
