Just a quick note here, although some of the members here may not necessarily agree what I have done with my MH,I believe I have the right to do with my property how I see fit and particularly given its past even more so.
It would appear that "Dave" on the Yahoo group and on Speedzilla (Not Dave holm that runs Speedzilla)is the sour grapes MH Police.
This is a nice email he sent me,

Andy, I must agree with Scott here - you are a clown.
The only upside is that the butchered bike will perfectly match your
red nose and big feet!
A few other comments:
1) Do your mods really help the 4 batteries, two exhausts, three
triples clamps, three steering dampers, the engine being pulled at
5000km because of low compression bla bla bla?
2) Isn't 17 l of fuel tempting fate given you manage to set fire to
your bikes?
3)If you think a production run 2000 bikes makes the MHe common, pray
tell which other bike of recent years had a shorter prodcution run
(obviously excluding "special" paint jobs that is)
Dave, thankyou for your comments, now keep them to yourself, I do not charge into your life telling you how to run it so please, go enjoy your special bike that is better than everyones elses as well as mine.
I like your MH personally, and whats it worth to have any motorcycle,car,boat etc.. if you cant personalize it and make it different then everybody else.
I was a bit dissapointed with the first MH I ever saw what with the plastic engine cover/fins and the like. Yours looks OK, and I doubt the MH police have a jet to fly out where you are and to force you to return it to stock.
Here he is again winning friends all over the place.
Dave are you gay, you have a problem or two sending that shit out.
Go get assessed man, if it aint your taste that does not make it wrong, get a life.
There are plenty of soft places for you here in the US, this board is not one of them.
Thanks guys, I know it's not everyones cup of tea and I am cool with that.
What I am not cool with is wankers like deimh having to send personal jabs by trying to belittle me and call me a clown, LOOK IN THE MIRROR DAVE.
Dave, when you read this and I know you will you are a weak minded wanker and are unwelcome to me, if you wonna carry on and make a dick of yourself which you do so well be my guest.
You will get no response from me other than pinning up your love letters to point out the above, have nice gay life and take the advice of others to get assessed.

wow I've been surfing car related bulletin boards since the internet started hosting them, and I can say I don't think I've seen many personal attacks like that. It takes balls to send an insulting e-mail to somebody dissing their creations. I've gotten only a couple hatemails over the years from my site, but was at least able to talk sense with the people and see why they complained in the first place. I didn't agree with them, but at least they didn't call me names!
I'd say don't take it personally, but that's hard to do in that case

Unfortunately there are conceited and self-righteous zealots (like 'deimh') who think it is there rightful place in this world to belittle or lecture others for building something unique and different. Your "Malattia" is a cool Ducati and now is "Andi's one-off special based on a Ducati MH900e" -- nothing more or nothing less. Did it affect the prices or collectability of the MH900e's in this world -- no. Are you happy with the bike now -- yes. Did you take a lemon and make lemonade from it -- definitely. Will you probably create/modify more Ducati's in the future to your own form of self-expression -- I believe so.
I've dealt with my fair share of these self-righteous Ducatista zealots in regard to my Ducati-powered MotoCreations bikes. But the way I figure it, the thousands of positive comments, e-mails, forum postings and reactions from Ducati loving enthusiasts from around the world vastly outweigh the negativity of a few small-minded individuals along the way like this one.
And if the zealots like this one are hateful of "Malattia" -- I guess I will cause them all to have hopeful heartattacks in the future with another project of mine in the works...
deimh is only one of a few that I can count on my left hand that have boo hoh'd my bike, that I am fine with and I expected.
deimh is the only one who has taken it to a personal email slinging to me, whats more I tried to send him an email back to ask why the daggers but no, he has a block on his email so you ca't send him anything, talk about tough behind the screen, the reality is it does not affect him one bit.
K, housework done, shit off my chest, where were we, talking about bikes I believe
Very cool bike - I like it a lot, can you make me one!!!???
Hoswever, not to jump on the bandwagon here, I think that you need to chill matie! Not everyone has to like you bike, and if you plaster pics all over you must be prepared for someone not liking it - and saying so.
To be honest I have also followed your responses on the other Boards too and you seem to be a little out of control. So he calls you a clown and says that the bike is crap - so what my friend???? Just like BimotaGuy said, he doesn't seem to have been overly offensive in any way at all - but you have been calling him a "dick", "wanker", etc, etc - and I am not sure what "have a nice gay life means"!! This is a littlke too homophobic-gay-bashing slur for me to support you here You have been far more rude and offrensive to him from what I can see - and at least he doesn't seem to be responsing back publically too.
Also, I don't think that posting peoples personal email addresses on Boards is very ethical at all - particularly just cause he says he doesn't like the bike - come-on for hell's sake!!
So what, just my worth - take it of leave it.
I could not care one crap what he thinks of my bike all, but what I get pissed off with is him pinging sarcasitc shit at me time and again and PUBLICILY on this very part of the forum.
There are others who do not like it, cool, I did not build it for them, but I do not carry on and personally and publicly attack them for it, that does not make a clear passage for him to keeping swinging at me over the emails and net hence I thought if I showed what a wanker he is by doing these he might shut the **** up and go somewhere else.
I take in what you say, personally I prefer to be helpfull here that negative, you show me here on the board one useful post of his.
Reply over, I have blocked his emails and put him on my unwanted list.
I understand your frustrations brother, and if you are happy then that is all that counts!!!! And you still haven't said whether you are goinmg to make me one yet
Just keep up the good work and go and enjoy your bike because this is what its all about.
However, because I really like that bike doesn't mean that I agree with all your comments again:

As far as I can see its YOU that keeps making everything public all the time - not just on this board, but all every board there is! Also, your responses are way way way over the top for a board like this - don't spread such hate and anger brother!!!!!
Just keep it between the two of you and all of us will be happier

Agree, I went public, my reasoning is after so many crappy emails from him I thought I would show the people that we hang with every day on these boards the brothership an affection he is showing toward me
One does get sick of being pasted time and again with the same old crap from the same old person, ribbing is cool, cheap shitty shots is not.
As long as he wishes to kep making stabs at me I will continue to show his affection to the brothers, I am not a nasty bugga but one who wants to enjoy the forums and ride my bikes.
I don't know if you of thr history of my MH, if not is does not matter but it is fair to say it was not fair.
As for making another Malattia for you, nup, after the hours put in it would not be worth it, great fun to do and now I have a bike that is seemingly reliable X fingers
