Thanks for that Andy, I was beginning to feel persecuted
The dealer in question is the Ducati delaership in Manchester.
You ARE dead right though, I am impetous, it's in my nature unfortunately. I suppose the reason is that I get the feeling that if I wait for too long they bike that I want will be out of my budget...and also I want one to ride while I do an engine rebuild on Noodle. Not that there is anything wrong that a set of pistions/rings and seals won't cure.
You are also right, I should wait for a SE/SP!
Mike
