Hi , Happy Friday

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by LordLoL, Aug 30, 2019.

  1. Hello all , just registered after finding the forum while looking for some ducati stuff online , liked it so much that i signed up.
    Freshly back to biking after 15 years sabbatical , i bought an 848 about a month ago and the love affair has started all over again , first ride back from the dealers was intense and scary , id forgotten how fast these rocketships are but a month on and its all becoming more controllably scary lol.
    Havent been able to resist buying stuff for it and so far changed the levers , added the Corse side decals and a carbon rear hugger ..... oh n a teeny weeny illegal as hell rear plate.
    Had to add some grip pads on the tank too cause even moderate braking had me slid up against the tank in a very ooh la la fashion , been bitten so hard that im thinking of getting another bigger model when i have the no claims built up again a bit but for now the 848 is still way quick enough for a born again ham fisted 48 year old.

    My daily ride is a BMW 120i thats been lowered and played with mechanically a lot , here we see Daisy (The bike) and Bella (The BMW) on their first introduction , some growls were heard but the staring competition ended without any physical damage.

  20. Its one that was left here some years ago , attemptsto trace whoever dumped it here failed due to lack of concentration and it is now used to keep people who deliver junk mail in
