Paso like a monument?

Post by persempre907 »

Yesterday, I went in the center of Rome with a friend of mine.
I parked my 907 near a church.
When I came back, I saw a couple of tourists which taken a photo to the bike with the church in the background: the woman had an hand rested on the seat, while the man taken the photo.
My question is: what did they like more, the Paso or the church?

Francesco,

It was probably the undeniable charm of the Paso's modern design contrasted with the timeless beauty of the church building, both quintessentially Italian. :thumbup:
Make it a good day,

About 7 years ago, when i was coming down from Cortina Dampezzo to Tarvisio with my 750 Paso (with open Conti pipes), there was in one village about 70 years old ladies claping they hands to my Paso in street of village... YES, they clap they hands, maybe, cause they hear something strange coming and at least they saw some "Italian Red Ducati" coming with plenty of banging from open pipes. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I had those times Weber and it was banging ALOT in open pipes, when making engine braking.... Quite often it make that big bang in exhaust system after 5 seconds taking keys off !!!!! Headers were hot and for some "weber reason" it let some fuel come to headers and it fired there(valves were ok and adjusted right)... Nothing was broken, and that time my Paso 750 had REAL "CHARACTER" !!!! :funny: :funny: :funny:

My 906 often used to make big bang in exhaust system.
The people was terrified when it happened :funny: :funny: :funny: .

Sunday, I made a little trip to the see near Rome (Ostia lido).
A guy with a stunning MV Agusta F4 put himself beside me and, at the red traffic light, he told me the 907 was a sculpture.
He absolutely wanted offer a coffee to me...

Another time, I was very proud...
