  1. Hi everyone.
    New to the forum but a big Ducati fan.
    I'm a big Ducati fan despite in the past being less than. After working on them the last 3 years I've really grown to like them. I also have an aweful lot of very special Ducati parts in my posession stretching back over the last 13 years of racing from engines to parts. I now also run a race preperation business in the North of England.

    Just a quick one of me testing a new exhaust and slipper clutch on the 848 I built for a friend. It did well. 17 podiums and a rider of the year award in the 848 Challenge over 3 years use. For Sale if anyone wants it. Not a single mechanical in 3 years.:upyeah:
