I feel for people that only have the summer to ride, here in sunny So.Cal we ride all year round so Summer isn't a big deal for me. Actually in Summer I ride only in the early morning when its still a little cool, later on in the days it gets too hot.
Also getting tired of hearing the "how long till I get the bike" threads. Quit your whining people, you knew you were gonna have to wait a while when you placed your order, and anyone who knows Ducati should have expected a longer wait than what they say. When I first asked my dealer back in November when he would get his allotment of 1199's he said he was told he would start receiving them by March. I laughed and said "so that means in reality I should expect it by mid May or early June?" He sighed and said "yea, probably"
