From The Bedroom Wall To The Garage

  1. Hello All,

    I've finally managed to turn my bedroom wall poster from 1995 into a 3d fully functioning bucket list tick :)

    New to the forum and to Ducati's so any/all advice welcome......

    im a sucker for red Italian works of art, which are not very reliable and smell the way machines are supposed to.... I.e of fuel and oil :) :)

    Cheers

    James

  3. Cheers Guys.

    I only have the 1 pic saved on my pc at the moment.

    Ive only had it a few weeks and It needs a bit of TLC as the wheels need some work, the left hand fairing needs a small repair.

    I spent 4 hours t cutting and polishing / cleaning last weekend, so its getting there now.

    i've serviced it, with Oil & Fuel Filters, plugs etc. Ive seem to have a leaking clutch slave, so ive ordered an oberon aluminium version to fit at the weekend.

    Its my first pure sports bike, so getting used to the riding position has been erm somewhat challenging :)

    Makes me smile everytime i see it though.

    Cheers

    James

  12. Welcome. Nice looking bike. It's in a damn sight better condition than mine when I started to refurbish her a couple of months ago. Even your Dzus are perfect. Get those pictures up. The dirtier the better. Don't be shy now.
     
  13. Cheers guys and gals......

    I dont suppose anyone knows any good wheel restorers in NW England do they !!!

    Sorry for the lazy non searching!!
     
  14. I can recommend the Thersby Group, Stockton on Tees, they straightened an alloy front wheel for me and I am still very happy with the result.
