GuzzBun Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Thought I'd blow my Corsa's trumpet - he won first prize in the Modern section of the 'Best In Show' at the BMF this weekend. Certainly made up for the rather soggy weather! Prizes were awarded by the Hairy Cooks, Si & Dave. Their comment was "...and the best Modern goes to the absolutely gorgeous MGS01 Corsa - I'd love to get my leg over that!
grossohc Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Congratulations and well deserved to, The bike looks fantastic. Gary
mdude Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 I must point to what I find is one major flaw concerning the Corsa: I dont own one....

Ciao, Steve G.
Paul Minnaert Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 those ugly hondas aren't competetion to an italian lady.
tikkanen Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Congrats GuzzBun, that's a real stunner you have and I'm bloody jealous that I don't have a MGS parked in my garage...... Cheers Søren
Tom M Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 That's a beautiful bike you have there Guzzbun. Congrats on your win. These guys must not have considered the MGS01... http://www.webbikeworld.com/ducati-motorcy...ucati-award.htm Maybe Guzzbun could crash the awards ceremony and show them what a beautiful bike really looks like. Then again if they gave the "Harley-Davidson VRXSE Screamin’ Eagle V-Rod Destroyer" a special prize then maybe it would be a lost cause
belfastguzzi Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Funny coincidence, Bun posting this, as when we were in Scotland at the weekend I had been thinking that it would have been great if the sleeked beastie had been brought to the Spean Bridge meet. Guzzbun, we need to see & hear it on the roads. Erin?
Baldini Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 ....we need to see & hear it on the roads..... ...does it run??? KB

Guzzbun, we need to see & hear it on the roads. Erin? 90086[/snapback] Would love to have bean at Spean Bridge, but wasn't aware that it was on - note to self - must keep up with events! When and where is Erin? Two constraints: 1. He can only be on the road in daylight and good vis (daytime MOT) though that shouldn't be a problem this time of year. 2. There's no way I can carry a tent and camping kit on him! So, I'm limited to either B&B or sharing a tent with some other kind soul - any offers? (I do snore, but not very loud!)

GuzzBun Posted May 26, 2006 Author Posted May 26, 2006 ...does it run??? KB 90269[/snapback] Does it run? DOES IT RUN??? You'd better believe he runs!!! Took him to the Ace a couple of weeks ago - parked by the front door, and by the time I'd got my cuppa I couldn't see him for the crowd around him - and that was a Saturday midday. Had to be VERY careful when I left - so many eyes on us that it would have been just too easy to do something stooopid. Instead we just pootled out of the car park, being very mindful of other road users. Once the road was clear Itreated them to the sound of a real V Twin winding up through the gears. I told my ex-wife some years ago that riding was at least 75% posing - for me, that is. The Corsa is the Acme of posing machines, but with the singular difference that it performs even better than it looks. In truth it's waaay beyond my capabilities as a rider. I must content myself with being lucky to own one! Met a few Duke owners at the BMF, and they were drooling over him too - got invited to take part in their Duke Club track day at Cadwell in August, so will be giving him his track baptism then. Does he run! He runs, oh yes... he runs!
