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?

Take it easy, and ride tomorrow

Your S4RS was probably built by a woman. [laugh]

They like women putting them together, something about better quality control [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]

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

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.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

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]
