Hey guys,

Well, 6000km later, few things in life have brought me more pleasure than my HM ! However, having said that, it has not been without it's issues!!!

Picture standing outside your favorite local haute with a patio FULL of people. showing off your new Ducati. He wants to hear how it sounds, no problem....I am standing on the right side of the bike, turn the key on ( it's in neutral as the green light is on ), hit the start button and the bike starts in gear an leaps forward, dragging me and my buddy who leaps to save us all....ending up on a pile on the pavement while people from the cafe rush out to help !!!! Holy @#$^ ( this is the second time this has happened).

Too make things worse, my local dealer has advised that "no error" has been logged on the computer to indicate a malfunction...( my fault ?), this despite the fact that I have experienced an EXVL 23.2 ( exhaust valve error ) over a dozen times and it has not been logged either !

Now lets not even begin to talk about the poor fit of the travel accessories. The tank bra falls off the front of the bike, tank bag has already had a ratchet break off, and the tail rack and bag are of similar poor fit / install and quality.

Bottom line, it's like being married to the hottest supermodel on the planet...but she cheats !

Love to get some attention on the desmo blog, any pointers?

..bring it on !
