Digging the seat too.

Is it a LuiMoto seat cover fitted on a DP gel seat ? (asking because Luimoto listed the cover for sotck seat only)

Click some pix when you get your bike together of you and the Hyper on your turf. Is there a lag receiving parts or are they readily available? I wouldn't imagine this being a huge market for Ducati? I've been told that the sand is hell on anything mechanical in the region, is this true where you reside? Just curious.

Will do that for sure.
Regarding the parts, we have a dealer but prices are crazy as we follow Europe plus our taxes and no economy of scale, forget about second hand market.
About the sand, although we are in the middle east so it is fair enough for someone to presume that we have sand... Well we do not have deserts, mostly green mountains and a blue Mediterranean sea, actually it snowed yesterday in the mountains, seems like skiing season is pretty close!

Thanks, it looks like the hills of Kentucky except there aren't any wobbly boxes scattered up the hollers.
