I went on the last one were we all got pi55 wet through and it took three days for my leathers to dry out, no point in me going on the next one..............:eek:
 
bfm at shipley always have good deals on tyres especially a pair so no excuses except if the weather is sh*te:thumbs:

so is no one on here going except me
'fraid not mate, we're going on a proper ride - lots of C roads with the jocks :D Why not come along? Don't really know why Ducati Bradford organised it whilst the Masher was on. Otherwise would have tried to make it.;)

aye, got qotes from BFM, monies my only excuse, i aint got none :eek:

I will have my new(ish) supercorsas, tyres on the Monster by Thursday, you can borrow/have the old ones if you want. I was going to chuck them on ebay anyway. They are well legal, but just a bit hard. Pirelli Dragon GTS.
 
yea know what mean been an expensive year and now pauline fancies one of them new gsxr600's its tough as she has never said no to a bike i wanted but she's gonna have to wait till next year at least she is not wantig a hog she would have to wait alot longer for one of those;) ;)

ducati bradford?

they have a Bradford post code and a Bradford STD code, so why the absurd pretention that they are part of Leeds? Don't you have them where you live too? But you couldn't ever say you lived in Leeds. Never quite got to grips with that one.

call them Cobb and Jagger then Pete :D

NO Steve that's a different company, Cobb & Jagger don't sell Ducati, Ducati Leeds sell Ducati even tho they are in Bradford! Cobb & Jagger sell everything else and MV of course!;)
 
Really?

did they used to be in Leeds?

I noticed Burberry labels say london paris and new york on them, no mention of castleford LOL
 
That reminds me there is a posh shop in town that has on the window NEW YORK......LONDON.........PARIS.......ROME.......HARROGATE
 
RJ that's like saying Ducati Manchester is in Manchester! :eek:

It should really be called Ducati High Legh or Ducati Lymm :p

It came from Ducati UK who wanted to cover the major cities/conurbations with Ducati Stores hence Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds. Ducati Yorkshire might have been more apt but Ducati Leeds it is. I still call it Cobb and Jagger even though the shops moved over the road and the name has changed :)
 
Sounds sort of fair reasoning from an outsiders point of view, but being born and bred in Shipley there is no way I would ever have allegiance to Leeds - it's 100% Bradford! What do the suits know anyway - that's marketing for you! Look at the map and there is still a significant stretch of green belt between Bradford and Leeds and Shipley is very much on the right side of it and firmly attached to Bradford. It just seems absurd logic, and somewhat unjust to Bradford. But enough, I'll agree to be different :D and leave it there. See you Friday/Saturday everyone.
 
anyway enough of the why's and wherefores of the local councils the weather looks good for sunday so come on who's up for dl's rideout
also to all midge mashers hope you all have a great day great ride and all get home safely
 
should be OK for it, need t get t BFM Sat for some new tyres coz these are fecked now, bikes running superb at the mo too :thumbs:
