I hadn't heard anything about the "colour therapy" option available with the 696/1100 Monsters. Well sure enough this one was ridden by a lady, and she'd also fitted a Termi system. Great to talk to, and she had owned a 696 and a GT1000 before it, so her heart is clearly in the right place!
Wouldn't have expected to ever see a lilac Ducati. The bikes you see outside Samford Pub on Valentine's Day!
