YMFB, you've gone and joined-up with the Ducati Multi 'clan', what made you ditch the BMW, assuming that is you have? If it wasn't for the fact I am 'on-duty' tomorrow, I'd head out with Bradders as well. Take it easy out there it's pretty dire all round still, with trees, huge ponding in the roads, etc.
Tony, I pxd the K1330S for an RT back in the summer as it had crap luggage and was hardly comfortable for Mrs YMFB, but it did have a great engine. The RT is a great bike, but no fun so after 49 3/4 years on the planet and 34 years on bikes I finally have a sports bike. I still have the F800GS for commuting, SERV and RoSPA. I am "running" it in so may just meet up with Bradders who I met many years ago when I was in the DSC. Hope you have a busy shift tomorrow. Last week I did two boxes from NBS to Basingstoke and it was sunny all the way there and back, mind you the previous shift I did a sample from Salisbury to Warminster and was nearly blown off course !
Steve, Great that you've got into the Multi, which one did you go for? I did an absolutely foul run to QA Portsmouth and back to the BB @ Southampton really late on last Sunday, thanks to Mrs. H, don't you know. I didn't get back in until circa 10pm, up for work the next day @ 4.45am, which made for an interesting morning!! I hope you really enjoy the Ducati, they are a tremendous bike, but as many will testify to, especially here on this website, they need lots of TLC
Running in a Panigale still fast enough for any circumstamces.. ;-) If you fancy a little spin, get over to Loomies for 930 is, I'll be leaving there at 10ish and heading to Hill Top. A272 is closed at Bramdean tho
Bradders, thanks for steering me in the right bike direction, I got the wrong drift there entirely. I know what you've got, coz we met up at one of the Bensons rides with Kirky, et al, assuming you still have the silver grey 1000DS:smile:
Tony, i'd forgotten you went out I think just after I got back. A few years ago I had an ST4, which we loved, but it got very tired after about four years and 15,000 so had to decide whether to spend a lot on it or change, so we pxd it for the K1300S. Now I have bought an 1199 Panigale, when we collected it from Snells Clare expressed an interest in replacing the RT and GS with a Multi, the jury is out on that. Certainly there won't be any more bike/car changes in 2014
:biggrin: Well that's certainly a bit different from the others in the garage. I trust you've got a back that's in good nick, because you probably going to need it now!
Bradders, I might get the bike out tomorrow. Depending on time I might get to Loomies otherwise will head up to Hilltop.
