[Ducati] Surplus Ducatis

[izaak]

Interesting, there are three dealers around me and from what I've 
heard, the bikes are flying "off of the shelves"..  The one I go to 
for service had just become a Ducati dealer last year and I dropped 
in to pick some things up, he only had one Ducati on the floor (an 
800SS).  I asked if they were still a Ducati dealer, and was told 
"hell, yeah, we can't order them fast enough"
