  1. Ducati ST3 - side left.jpg Hi all my name is Dave and my current Duke is a 2004 ST3. Previously I had an ST2 for a few years and enjoyed it very much.

    I live in Central France which is a great jumping off point for doing tours.

    Ageing bones means I don't ride quite as far as I used to, but still like riding to new places.

    Cheers
    Dave

  10. I see you're in Aberdeenshire Harry, we were Cuminestown for 2 yrs, then South Cushnie, Gamrie and finally Mansfield of Macterry, Fyvie.

    Loved my time there and whenever I hear the pipes, memories come flooding back.
