    irrelevant drivel!

    I was looking at the MCN MotoGP poster that i have on my wall at work and kept wondering why there were a Couple of Yamaha Thunderaces on it!

    then i realised that at first glance the Ducati Desmothingywhatsit has a very similar profile to the venerable Yam!!

    check it out!!
    Yamaha Thunderace


    Ducati Desmonoisyfastbike



    whaddaya think - too much coffee or more than a passing resemblance?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
