New But Not New

  1. Hi all,

    I joined a while back but have not been on since.

    I'm just in the process of getting my 916 back on the road after years of it being stored. It's an exotic beast which has very little of the original machine remaining. Have just done a major overhaul of it and fired it up for the first time in ages, I'm now looking forward to getting out on the roads of the south east again. Hopefully I can contribute to the forums and learn something from all the Ducatians here.

    Cheers,
    Chris.
     
  2. Welcome Chris, it would be nice to see the exotic beast.

  3. Welcome to the forum, post up some pics when you get the chance, sounds intriguing.
     
  4. Welcome Chris :upyeah:
     
  5. Welcome. I think you'll find the name is Ducatisti.
     
  6. Ducatisti it is then, sounds good! :sunglasses:

    Thanks for the welcome guys. I will get some pictures of my 916 soon, after I get a chance to clean it up and put it all back together.

    For now, a rundown of the mods include;
    Fast by Ferracci 955SP engine
    Big bore Termis
    Floating disks
    Mag. swingarm
    Comp. rearsets
    Hyperpro suspension and dampers
    FBF slipper clutch
    Reverse shifter
    Kevlar pipes
    Carbon bits n' pieces
    ...and some other stuff.
     
  7. be a shame to take it out on winter roads tho.
     
  8. Magnesium can be a problem, but as long as salt hasn't been spread I'm happy. Sooner or later I will be dead or too old to fit on it so I intend to use the bike instead of having it in storage anymore. :grinning:

  10. No not at all (or I hope not), unless my wife finds out how much money I have blown on the bike! :mask:
