Hello from Suffolk

  1. Hi guys and girls. My names Dave, I'm 28 and live in Lowestoft Suffolk. Registered on here as been promising myself a ducati for about 8 years now. Originally wanted a 996/998 but as I'm now a little older with responsibilities decided I want either a 848/1098 after all the stories about dubious reliability with the older bikes. Just need to decide which to go for as after reading endless reviews I'm no closer to making a decision. Like the idea of the more usable 848 but can't help but think the day will come when I think I should have gone for the big boy 1098

    look forward to hearing from you all soon

  2. Hello and welcome. There isnt a bad modern Ducati superbike, but the 1098 is a great bike :smile:
     
  3. Exactly what I was thinking. Think if I don't go for the full fat version ill regret it in time
     
  4. I'm down the A12 a bit from you, so no doubt our paths will cross.....


    AL
     
  5. That would be good. What do you ride and where abouts are you from?
     
  6. Red 750 SS, sometimes full faired, sometimes half faired........3 miles West of the A12 at Woodbridge.

    AL
     
  7. Cool. Ill keep an eye out for you. Working on the docks in Ipswich so pass through your way everyday
     
  8. You will probaly see me wobbling around the Wyevale roundabout or filling up at the Northbound Shell garage....
     
  9. Ill be sure to give you a wave if I do so should you see a randomer in a white Audi you'll know who it is
     
  10. Black Hyundai Coupe ('kin orrible car....can't tell if it's Japanese or Chinese).........and an odd number plate.

    If its being driven by a woman, don't wave.............She will think her luck has changed.

  17. Welcome! I'm Lowestoft (Gunton) born and bred, but now living in Essex; a step up the evolutionary ladder!

    There was a guy used to be on the old Ducatisti site that lived in Lowestoft with an 848. Not sure if he's on here though.
    All my mates back that way either have Jap bikes or have moved on to crossers!
     
  18. Thanks again guys
