New 900ss Owner In Hove, Sussex

hello and welcome dude... Im viewing the pics on my phn but the ss looks pretty tidy.

 

Hi James, you kept that quiet on the SOHC forum!, I decided to "come out" about having one , it's in "other bikes", cracking looking bike btw, cheers MarkCR750.

 

Hi James,
A mate of mine has restored many 500/4's and has a new zero mile one in his living room built entirely of new parts he collected over 30 years

 

Hi James , when I took mine for its belts and full service the specialist mentioned that there is a bearing that he often has to replace, he took the clutch out of mine to clean it and measure the plates and said the bearing was fine, but it could be worth checking that ?, mine doesn't make a strange noise when pulling off but makes plenty of em in neutral!
PS please don't tell the SOHC forum how good these bikes are they'll all want one!.

 

will you be goin to this gathering of the clan on it dude?

 

Maybe, that said I discovered last night that 50miles is all my boney ass can take in a single run, 45 miles no problem, 47 miles discomfort , 50 miles oh Christ I've gotta get off!, so the journey would entail a lot of stops!.

 

on an ss? Its the most comfortable bike I've ridden in years! Where you based dude?

 

that's a shame mate as you'd have to ride past my neck of the woods, we coulda hooked up

 

That makes me feel better although i can manage 70 miles before i have to get off,i did 200 miles in a day a few weeks ago,i felt like i had been in solitry with mr big for the day.

 

Derby, if you think an SS is comfortable try an XJR1300, you'll think you're on a Rolls Royce!, not as much fun as the SS though!

 

Ha, although in fairness to Ducati I don't think they had touring in mind when they designed it

 

Um... Just stumbled across this thread to find i'm not the only James H in Sussex... There can be only one :wink:

Welcome!
