...And hope they have computer literate service people.But its so easy to fix things, as per its bible, just see your Ducati authorized service provider...
I think most owners won’t be crossing the Sahara on them though TBH !Yes it has , still so much could go wrong with the many suites of electronic aids , would be bad in the back of beyond which is supposed to be it’s natural habitat …. Still a very cool ride
I would argue that the correct analogy there is that ground crew are not maintaining the plane whilst it is on a journey of 1000’s of miles, only before and after, same with the bike on a long cross continent trip …My response re-airplanes , would be airlines have ground crews checking their machines on a comprehensive schedule … difficult to lug a crew with you out and beyond on 2 wheels …. the DR is from stone age , so even I can keep it running
Dunno!Okay I get your point ! …. but if 500 miles into 1000 mile outback crossing why happens when aids fail … sit and wait for who ?
Yes, that was a tragedy. And one that the engineers told the brass was not just possible but likely or so I've heard from Boeing engineers, one of whom worked on flight simulators."The more complex the plumbing, the more easy it is to stuff up the pipes" - Scotty of Star Trek fame.
Seems Boeing has had all sorts of issues on their new jets, leading to catastrophes as the planes avionics were overriding the pilots commands.
Just as the Great Plague of '19 hit, we were planning to ride the TAT.My response re-airplanes , would be airlines have ground crews checking their machines on a comprehensive schedule … difficult to lug a crew with you out and beyond on 2 wheels …. the DR is from stone age , so even I can keep it running
then the philosophical aspects , do the elect. rider aids make a rider better ? or do they kinda slow/stop his development as a skilled off roader as he learns to let aids look after him and his bike , FE comment has got me wondering if stunt pilots use this type of tech to wow the spectators , if so , I think air stunting has become watered down or even lame ….
Sounds fun. Looking forward to the reports!Just as the Great Plague of '19 hit, we were planning to ride the TAT.
Giving it a go this year. I got the T7, my buddy got a pair of DR650's for he and his wife.
Great bikes. I'd rather have a carburetor in the deep woods.
