Doesn't matter because Panigale's only have to be ridden from one doughnut shop/burger establishment to the next to be looked at

Ah I see, can't see the appeal myself, too much of a missile to be a useful road bike, athought 7,500 mile service intervals sounds good, although I suspect the service time period will arrive before the service mileage for 99.999999999% of Panigale owners...

Not in Dave's case - he rides his bikes - ran the last one (Ducati 1198 Corse) in over a weekend in France - picked it up on a the Thursday and suprised them a bit by taking it back to Pro-Twins on the following Monday for its first service
Never really been a fan of Ducatis but this one is stunning in the flesh - would kill me to ride it however

WMMST: Replacing the wiper mechanism on the trusty taliban taxi in my lunch hour, can't quite believe what a garage wanted for the job!
Guess at 16 years old/210,000 miles I shouldn't complain that the rose joints on the wiper mechanism were a little past their best

| Ordered new tyres for my new (to me) bike. We have to take the wheels off as the place that's sourced them doesn't work on Harleys, but had practice with OH's bike earlier in the week so it'll be good to get a bit more confidence with spanners and stuff. And it'll make a big difference to how it feels. |

you'll appreciate the extra 5mm of ground clearance a new tyre gives
