Hi From Troon - Scotland

  1. Hi Guys,

    I've just joined the forum so thought I'd say hi.

    I recently bought a 2012 Multistrada as a replacement for a Hayabusa.
    Full luggage, full Termi system with race ECU, SatNav, tail-tidy and a fair bit of carbon bodywork plus a car full of original stuff. I've not had to do anything other than fit a centrestand.

    I'm loving the Ducati so far. Such a big change after 11 years and 80k miles on Hayabusas.
    Riding them back to back is weird, but the Busa is getting sold soon.

    My riding is 10% solo, 10% 2-up and 80% 2-up with luggage, so the Multi is more suited to what I do.
    I've always toured with hard luggage on my Busas and it works well as a fast tourer, but I can't wait to get some touring done on the Multi.

    Doing a 5 day trip this weekend to Skye, Applecross and Ullapool then it's time to plan a couple of 2019 Euro trips.

    I've already picked up some useful info from the forum. Thanks for that!

    Cheers

    Fred

  18. Can’t remember the number we were at, it was quite a few years ago, big old house divided into two smaller apartments. Near a bowling green if I’m remembering correctly.

    Is the Dallam Towers still up on the hill?
