  1. Well been busy ish , carbs are now off and have been for a swim in my ultrasonic tank , look very good now , they were remarkacly clean on the inside which is good news. Here are some pics of the tatty state it was in , not much difference to my other MK1 #110 when purchased so no worries with this one so far !

  3. I think it looks reasonable value at that price compared to what others have made however it is an import so that tends to put people off ? I don't know why because all Ducatis are Imports LOL

  6. Good job I have the only set of keys to the garage!! If I do can I pop over for some advice/inspiration?

    Back in the day Baines were (allegedly) taking a van to Borgo Panigale putting 4 dukes in it and brining them back to sell as parallel imports, so having a KM odo is not a problem IMHO

  10. I know that look, I usually counter it by counting the pairs of shoes, boots and other footwear carefully stashed under the bed, in the loft and any other hiding place. LOL

  19. I would like to spend some money on sorting the garage, trouble is its rather large and full up with other crap etc so I have to make the most of a small space, I do however store everything in labelled boxes and restore / renovate items ready for the build, the carpet looks bad and will be replaced, it dint help that I kicked an oil tray all over it.
