Saw those two at Bristol Italia Fest - two of my favourite Ducs.
Light, minimal, great looks and attention to detail.

They've got several other very nice Ducs.
They have the TT replica 900SS that was a runner up in the Speciale Challenge a couple of years ago

Afraid not but you'll find them almost everywhere you go, I run into them pretty much monthly, at Ducati events everywhere from Cadwell park to Assen.
If you have a specific question, PM me your mobile number and I'll pass it on next time I see them.
...or you could try attending a Herts DOC meeting?

Used to be 3rd Sunday at the Plume of Feathers near Sawbridgeworth.
There's a fairly good chance they'll be at Brighton on Sunday.

Had a fun evening, used to be quite into the italian car scene (have had some quick Fiats and Alfas) but been out of it a few years. All sorts of interesting stuff there last night, but the light faded too quickly to get many good shots.
