Hi to all from Surrey

  1. Hi everyone

    I’ve found the forum after looking for a new home since ducatisti disappeared.

    I’ve got my carby 900ss which I’ve owned for 18 years, smashed myself up on, retuned and now after an 8 year gap and a slow rebuild, looks like she might live again! :)

  2. Welcome Sev, sorry to hear of your long time off your bike ( I had 20 years away due to ex wife and kids) new wife encouraged me to take it up again and then I bought her a monster for when she passes her test and that got me hooked on the brand. Finally got a 2006 ST3 in may and love her! Big smiles every time I go out on her, and find any excuse to do so. Have fun on here, there's some "crazy" folks on here who make me smile every time I log on.

  14. Good stuff. What's the rev counter from, and why does it red line at 7.5K?!

  15. Ahh, now humbug, the revcounter is an Elliot electronic tacho bought off one of the guys who used to work for Baines, and the redline was just an indicator as to where it makes peak power and torque. :)
