New Bling from Father Xmas

[multi rider]

Wifey was kind enough to get me some new bling for "Delicious Delilah" my Ducati for Xmas....

She then propmtly forbade me from fiddling with Delilah for the whole of Xmas day....but I managed to slip out un-noticed, after the roast Turkey and the copious amounts of red wine I fed her, for a quick 20 minutes.

Here is the result!

(pls exuse Delilah looking dirty....but I only had 20 minutes so no time to clean her up for the photo shoot)

very nice to get a look-in to the mechanics

what is it / where did you buy it ?

Kudos on your great choice in women!
Wives that cook turkey, like red wine and know what "Rizoma" is, are few and far between.

Hi Ted, or should I say "goede Dag"

its a timing belt cover from Rizoma....

Timing belt cover universal by Rizoma Bikes Accessories

and it aint cheap...but I followed quite a succesful strategy this Xmas....having always only got socks and jocks in previous years.

A) told the wife I want something for the bike....
B) send her a list of suggestions....starting with a Termi exhaust (way out her price range), Rizoma cover, or a Ducati T shirt which is only available in S size....I am a 3xXL

She must have decided that a big belly in a size S T-shirt would be too much of an eye sore haha and ordered the Timing belt cover on the net.

Totsiens!

Seems you know some Dutch
(tiny grammar errors aside )

But indeed it is a bit expensive, but hey, it's for an expensive bike


goeden dag/morgen/avond = (have a) Good day/morning/evening
Tot ziens! = See you later ! / Goodbye!

You have better have spent a close amount on her gift ,compared to what she laid out for your gift,

I'll bet it wasn't a toilet bowl ("LOO" , loosely translated?) brush and holder , or a snow shovel....

Thanks Fat Flyer....

It looks like I have great taste...ie good women and good bikes....Mind you i did have to work on her a long time before she allowed me to get "Delilah" girls just see competition behind everything a man does
