  5. Very Nice pal, Love them in Yellow. Fancy a yellow one next, maybe a 916 996 again
     
  6. I would highly recommend Tyler Lunceford at North Motorcycle in Edinburgh. He is a true artisan and there isn't much he won't know about Ducatis. Wouldn't take my bike anywhere else. Check him out on Instagram or Give him a call.

  7. does he do bodywork as well ?
     
  8. Welcome, I was up Lerwick working a few weeks ago. Cracking roads when the mist isn't too bad.
     
  9. Is the Thule Bar still open? Stayed the summer of '76 (you remember....the hot one where you could actually get away with shirt sleeves :) ) working on the fish. The Thule was our local, the Queens on a Sunday.

    Last visited in 1998....took my wife to see our old stamping grounds and the dear old Thule was still there. Together with the decorations/wallpaper (what was left of it....and some of the regulars) that were there back in 1976.

    Couldn't believe how infrastructure has come on....
    the old Lerwick/Scalloway Road was single-track with passing places. In 1990's, virtually 3 lane motorway.

    But some great roads - would love to take a bike up there again for one last visit.

    A very nice part of the world. Welcome.

    Cheers

  10. Yeah , the thule is still going strong , not been in it for years though ! Queens is closed though , the roads are superb , a few good straights and lots of twisties !! Fishing getting better again after the slump ..
     
  11. You can still get fairing sections from Ducati - they are not horrifically expensive either.
    Sticky rev counter? If it bounces about/seems erratic it could be the Reg/Rect on the way out. I would fit a MOSFET anyway as part of preventative maintenance.....

  12. Thanks, yes I have got a quote for the centre section with the correct decal , £560 + p&p ! Is the reg a 3 phase ?
     
  13. 50? A mere 50?

    I waited an extra 15 years.

    Silly me.
