    Hate riding in Edinburgh but that might be because I don't know my way around it :)
    Glasgow is much easier as the way they laid out the one way system does make sense.
    Plus I used to live there as well years ago.

    not keen on riding in either,even though i used to go to Glasgow every week for about 25 years (not on a bike though) .luckily Ian Murray M/cycles is just off the bypass so i won't be in the city

    Got my America from Ian Murray. Decent enough fella. Was drooling over my wee KTM when he came to collect my gixxer/drop off Triumph. Looked like they knew the're way around a Ducati.

    yeah he seems a nice enough guy,the last time i was there he had quite a few Ducatis for sale and a few waiting to be serviced. I've been told he is a factory appointed Ducati Service center.probably a lot cheaper than Glasgow Ducati
    another mate is coming with me so we will be taking the long way there and back;)

    Thats like the bike i'm taking tomorrow! i prefer the look of the X Diavel but woudn't say no to the Diavel i don't think you have to change the belt near as often as you used too. i just love the Ducati engines they are so addictive:cool: and the sound:cool: and the grunt:cool:

    Worst bike I've ever owned but it sounded good.

    seems to be pot luck with Ducatis if you get a good one:confused:,my Hypermotard was brilliant:) but there seems to be plenty of folk that have problems with them

    Wasn't so much problems with it, although it was back at Ian Murrays three times for the same issue, it was just a crap bike to ride. Can't remember liking anything about it and to think I part ex'd a one year old FJR for it (plus cash). My mate was right... I should have sought medical help for doing that :sob:
