<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

Hi Everyone

Today I spoke to someone that also rides Ducati's but not Bevels , after a while he came to the conclusion that only old farts (now) , back then when they couldn't afford them are still riding them today

I disagreed with him of cause as any Bevel own would have

Lets see what ages we come up with

I've been riding bevel twins since 1978 when I bought an 860GT. I've had my SS since 1984 so I've never really given them up.

Sorry, I'm over 50 ...

Dog years-350
Drinking years-- 1866
Ducati years-35
Debt years--ever

Bought my first Duc when i was 21 : a 500 Desmo.
Worked hard to buy it and even harder to keep it going
Since then always 1 or 2 ready.
Now that I can't remember what I did on my 50th birthday, still riding them hard (albeit a bit more carefull : Grande fratello is watching).

I`m 49 and when I voted it moved my age group up to 50%...........spooky hey???...............no I did`nt think so either.........
Hey I`d have one `O` them new fandangled Ducati`s tomorrow but what do you fiddle with and adjust and tune and improvise and improve on them when in the shed. My daughter always says "why don`t you get a motor bike you don`t have to work on Daddy". I always turn to her and open my mouth to answer but then pause and reply "if you don`t know you`ll never understand sweetheart". She seems content with that and so am I.

Wish I could be the first to respond in the under 30 group...hey I bought my 750 when I was 28. Guess that doesn't count.

Hmmm seems to be a distinct large grouping. IF I waited another 2 months I could have boosted the 50 and up's .

Had the '78 Darmah since '87, a 500 parrallel before that too.

Fell in love in '74 with the sound of an SS, it used go past every morning while I was waiting for the school bus

I bought my Mille MHR new in 1985 when I was 25 years of age.....!!
Now I'm 50 and the Mille is.....25 !!!!

I think you should have a 45-55 age group,I reckon that will change the stats dramatically.I'm 42 and my mates think I live in la la vintage land,and given that the 80's are now 30 years ago,well they'd be correct!!
Old farts indeed.(not me of corsa,I'm only 42.)

brought mine when 22 had it 22 years reakoned it saved my life hardly ever went and i road like a fool when the motor was sitting in a box i couldnt crash it what a great machine. Its the bike of my generation so thats why i like em shes got history my history I pranged got chased by cops went on rallies, had nice girlies on it whata machine and when it wasnt going it was saving my life. still goes best it ever has.
