hi.bought my second ducati a few weeks ago.1098.my first one was a 748 and it was nothing but trouble.hope i have a bit more luck with this one.had a blade before this and must admit when i first rode it thought "what have i done",but as soon as the road opened up it all made sense.was going to leave it standard till next year but have already ordered arrow cans,carbon fibre belly pan and front mudguard.its addictive.any members from burton/derby area?
Hi I am just up the road in Moira (Swadlincote) Trouble is just sold the Ducati, and not getting the Triumph for 2 weeks. Welcome to the forum. Dont even know if I should be on this forum now without a Ducati, but lingering hoping no one notices :wink:
Welcome. Ive also got a 1098 so I look forward to hearing all your stories. Winter is for tinerking and upgrading
Hello and welcome. Richard, I'm sure you're more than welcome to stay on here. It might sway you back to the fold in the future.
Hi and welcome, i'm in Derby but just put bike on sorn, hope to catch you next year possibly matlock/bassets pole.... Ian.
Sometimes head up Derbyshire Matlock area but as you probably know its all 50 areas and camera vans. Quite like heading up towards Melton Mowbray and then on towards Market Harborough: that is a great road. If I have a long weekend I would head up around the Lakes and then call in at Hawes Yorkshire. If I wanted a quick blast then probably Measham, Ibstock, Hinkley and back past Tycross Zoo. But at the mo the Multistrada is traded and don't get the Speed Trip until the 19th then got to run it in
i also use that road to melton,through wymeswold and rempstone and down to market harbourgh.used to go up to cat and fiddle and matlock every week but stopped when they put the speed cameras up.went to matlock a couple of weeks ago for the first time in two years.too many cars on the road and hardly any bikes.a brilliant run spoiled by too many police.got nicked two years ago by unmarked black impretza.thats cheating
Hiya Shakeys dad. I'm in Stretton, not a million miles away from you and just been to Bassetts Pole tonight. Freezin' @7 degrees and dropping fast !
yeah not a million miles away,im in winshill.not been to bassetts pole for a few years.does it still get busy.what ducati do you have?
Hi shakeys dad.........got ex-relatives in Burton, lived near the brewery next to the old graveyard in Clays Lane......lovely back roads between Burton and Alton Towers......I worked at the Towers for two months doing building design and contract management in the eary early 80s......I reckon I must be the only person that rode a bike (Guzzi) all around the roads in the Towers grounds. Also use to really like belting up the A444 from Nuneaton. My SS was first registered in Burton as well....... AL.
