I've hardly seen any Ducati's on the road in Taichung and last week spotted 2 Monsters as I came back from a factory, checked web to find Taichung now has a Ducati store :eek: Went down last night to be blown away by what I found, to put this in perspective Taichung is a pretty basic city, in the afternoon we'd spotted a pet pig in a cage, a scooter with rider and 2 corgi's on board, a family of 4 on a scooter and almost gagged on the smell of stinky tofu at a night market, I walk into the Ducati store to spot 2 MH900e's in race trim, an SC with a sidecar, Bruale R Oro and more blinged bikes than you can imagine. Got chatting to the owner who takes me upstairs to show me another MH900e, a DD16RR still in crate, a Paul Smart, Honda dream 50 and I'd don't what else. I've only ever seen 1 MH900e so to see 3 in one building was incredible, photos on line at my gallery here . You'll also see more bling, swingarms for Monsters, lovely anodised alloy fork protectors and replacement side stands. I'm going to keep in touch with them and see if I can import some of the bits they've got next trip.

How big is your travel case?
Can you bring back.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The saying "Kid in sweety shop springs to mind":D :D

Can definitly see David in the sidecar.:)
 
Amazing! A neat sidecar on the SC but the wrong side for this country. I'm sure you'll find plenty interest in the swinging arms, brake bits and other bling.
 
and a taste of life in Taichung

its all genuine in a store like that, the cheap stuff comes out of factory back doors. I visited one factory where I saw some high end supposedly Italian fork lowers, radial calliper jobs, top triple crowns and tubes complete with genuine branding, they were the real deal not copies but most so called Italian parts are now made there.
 
love the side car and i thought the 888 i saw with the panniers was odd looking,as for the the dogs
please remember a dog is not just for christmas,if you buy a big one it will do for boxing day too.
