No need to apologise.
We all like a Dookbob build thread.
It is a classic Ducati after all.
And its not the only (well received), non-monster build thread on the forum.
Tbh, I was teetering on the brink of posting some details of my Honda Dominator street scrambler conversion.
And that's not even Italian ..... though it is the essential winter companion to monster ownership.
And oddly, the frame plate says "made in Italy", which made me smile.
And I've fitted an Italian GPR exhaust, complete with tricolore badge.
And I've fitted monster indicators.
Very nearly fitted a monster curvy teatray too.
This Italian thing is catching ... I even drink more coffee these days.
But I digress.
