Ducati,

From what I've heard/learned from others WAAAY more knowledgable than me concerning diesels, you are doing your motor a favor by driving it that way.

Apparently, the worst thing you can do is drive it like a granny.

In case you hadn't heard of it, the Italian Tune Up involves repeated high RPM runs to 'clean out' the motor. By driving it hard, you're basiclly doing this on a daily basis.

Besides, MBZ designed these motors to be driven hard and fast on autobauns(sp?).
