Thank you all for the warm welcome, it has indeed been a while since I have been on any Ducati forums, although I do look in on Ozz's site every now and again. I still have the bike (originally a 97yr 748) soon to be a classic! with a few modifications. Now a freelance artworker working from home, always interested in work. . .hint hint . . . still see the guys at track days every so often was at Silverstone last year for two days and had a blast, (fantastic track) but not Cadwell Park which I love.. Sorry I did not find this site sooner never knew about it TBH thanks to Bradders for the link. regards TopiToo - Steve
