Also confirmed by the guys at Ducati Manchester today. New sytems were already being put into place re parts, ordering etc, quality control you name it they've had Germans in Italy for a while at the factory, makes a change from the last time they visited as they bombed it first and then used the factory to make communication radios Embarassed
Hopefully it will be more of a friendly relationship this time Laughing
The Ducati guys are upbeat though, GErman prowess with Italian flair, turned Lamborghini around to reliable sportscars, barring the odd few that caught fire Embarassed
