  1. Not too shoddy but what's the LH thread for?









    :innocent:
     
  2. I'm left handed so it makes more sense, I'm slowly changing all my bolts and threads to left hand.

    Ducati Manchester Mugello Italy Trip 2017
    [​IMG]
    Buying a bike from Ducati Manchester is just the beginning, we organise many track days, ride outs and trips. The guys are back from our latest awesome 6 day trip to Italy.

    The bikes were dropped of at our warehouse, and then we shipped them over to Italy. The team then get a flight and collect their bikes in Italy.

    The trip included plenty of memorable moments including watching Andrea Dovizioso take the win at the Italian Moto GP, a ride up the amazing Futa Pass to Bologna, and a visit to the Ducati Factory and Museum Tour !

  8. Arrived at El Prat de Llobregat airport late afternoon and took the Aerobus into the Place de Catalunya. 5 minute walk to the Calderon and time for a quick shower before popping out to the Ciutat de Mondal, a very highly rated local tapas restaurant. Jamon Iberico, queso Manchego, pan con tomatoe, Pollo y Jamon croquettas, Almejas and Gambas roja a la plancha all washed down with ice cold Estrella Damm. Absolutely the right way to end a great day. Chillin' tomorrow before heading out to Montmelo on Saturday for qualifying. It's been a while since we were in Barcelona but it's like putting on a cardigan and your favourite slippers, comfortable and at home straight away. Andy

  14. Took my bike to the second place for changing the front wheel bearings, only to be told for the second time that there is no little gap in the spindle to help get the bearings out. Another friday afternoon special or raid of the old parts bin

  15. I used some prying tools from Aldi, like these. You can really wedge them in. Also use some heat from a heat gun.

  16. Not sure any of my bikes have ever had a notch for removing bearings. Thats why they make specials tools to remove them, isn't it?

  17. Not if the spindle is wedged tight against the bearings. Nothing will get in between them, thats why there is a little gap to get a tool in to pry it out. Imhave a faulty spindle without the notch, means getting the bearings out cut cutting. Thanks Ducati,
     
  18. The sleeve is a smaller diameter than the hole it's in, she'll move, just needs "persuading".

  19. is my understanding :)
     
  20. Had a day pottering about catching up on some jobs and tinkering with the bikes in the garage before having a leisurely ride up to Holmfirth... Mrs M's Maiden voyage over 20 miles on the monster and she rode great!

    Her riding is all starting to come together and confidence is growing slowly :)

    Checked in to a lovely Guest House and wandered down in to the town for a couple of pints and a cracking indian :D
