I was on the Bimota's website, http://www.bimotaamerica.com/bikes.html
I like the bikes, but what is up with the lady working on the bike, or is she an apprentice, and even if she is an apprentice why isn't she wearing a mechanic's uniform.
Another angle is that she must be upper management daughter. What gives, can anyone provide some insight?

Your S4RS was probably built by a woman. [laugh]
They like women putting them together, something about better quality control [laugh]
Women to build it, men to break it [coffee] read the statistics [laugh]

He's right - there are more women on the factory line than men - from memory, the engine assembly area is almost exclusively female workers - at least thats how it was 2 years ago - there are more men in the areas of manufacture that involve lifting heavy items and assemblies.
better quality control, better attention to detail, probably all of the above - to be honest, I don't really care, it's still a ducati [thumbsup]
:P
men
women
whatever
all the same besides the fun bits
all I know is that I just watched a video of a room full of people who have better knowledge of my bike than I do
with an endless supply of available parts
AND THEY LOOK BORED
WTF, BORED!!!
I never would have thought....i thought women were just for making babies!
Yeah, those ladies probably knows more about my than myself... sad...
I can look at my Monster the same way anymore.. :-\
I've always known Italians as such lively festive people, the only explanation is
when the boss's around and the camera is on, look like you're working!! [thumbsup]

I remember reading an article mentioning it was because they generally have smaller, more dexterous hands that are better adapted to putting together an engine in its own confined space.

Women are also *way* less likely to come staggering in hungover daily.

pffft...that's what YOU think [drink]
A worker gets a cell phone call and walks away from her job at 1:08.
What is so surprising about that? Who do you think built all those airplanes in WWII, "Ralf the riveter"?
Women fly Planes & deliver the mail as well...
I have to say though, that all of my life some woman has cooked and brought me food. For that I am truly appreciative. It gives me a warm IZ_. Thanks women [thumbsup]

They serve alcohol in the cafeteria during breaks.
BTW..I don't remember seeing any women working in the factory (other than the tour guides) both times I was there.
Maybe I just didn't care because it doesn't really matter?!
WTF..should it!! ??? [roll]
Personally I would rather have a woman assembling my bike. Us men can get too distracted at times...

I could never do it; I'm way too easily dis- Oh hey! A shiny!
I know most major auto makers have women as final paint quality checkers, women have much better color recognition than men.

Yeah I remember seeing that - I also remember the group of grown men rummaging through bowl the sugar sachets to find their bike's sugar (yes they have differing models on the sugar sachets)

I know they run two shifts there, so maybe the women to do one or the other.
And I agree, it really doesn't matter, but I did find it interesting, none the less.
So I guess we need a more recent idea of what the hell is going on in Bologna... Ok Ok I'll do it.
I will be in Italy in about a month to tour the factory... and oh yeah see Italy.
The wife is all happy to see Itally and all of these things she keeps telling me are there. I keep telling here there are only a few things to see in Italy. 1. Ducati 2. Ferrari she doesn't get it.
But I think women are better suited for factory work... well maybe except for JBubble.. becuase they pay attention to detail and do not get distracted. I would dream of riding those bikes all day and maybe get one done.
That and if the woman has a job, I don't have to and get more riding time. [thumbsup]
