He was talking about the Ducati 900ss here of course, I always wanted one, 3 year’s ago I got one, they say you should never meet your hero’s, it doesn’t apply in this case, it’s a truly glorious machine, if you haven’t got one, go out now and buy one!, it’s a decision you’ll never regret, full of “soul” a visceral snarling beast of a bike, anyway back to Hondas:)

Sam is correct.  It was a deserved and decisive victory.  Well done, James!
