  1. Good Morning

    Thanks El toro for the intro

    So here it goes, I am trying to find my dads old Ducati 999s in black. He brought it back in 2005 from Baines in Northamptonshire in the UK. The spec was a full termignioni system , full ohlins , open dry clutch with carbon cover, marchesini wheels, a remap, carbon hugger, tail tidy probably some other trick bits also a daylight running light on the front.

    It had yellow decals and wheel decals and monoposto rear.

    One thing I can remember was that the rear carbon hugger had a nick in it as a nail exited through it in the fast lane of the m25 and luckily made it into the hard shoulder.

    The bike was on a plate S999NBS on an 03 Plate prior sadly I do not have the prior reg or VIN and in 2017 had approx 17k miles.

    The plate is showing on a Volkswagen car now, the bike was sold to a trader in mid 2009 and then ran again for a few years but dissapears in 2017 if anyone knows of the bike now or has seen it anywhere please let me know if would be greatly appreciated

    I currently have an xsr700 yamaha but debateing an 899 or 950s supersport at presnt

    Thanks all have a good weekend ride safe IMG-20230323-WA0000.jpeg Screenshot_20230427_214025_Facebook.jpg

  11. Really hope you can get some more information on your Dad’s bike. Can I ask why you’re so keen to find it?
     
  12. Hiya

    He had several bikes when I was young a 907 paso, 996, tl1000r and the 999 and the 999 was my favourite to be honest , he is all good and well and has stopped riding now but I honestly just want to find it and cherish it and its the only reg I can remember sadly otherwise I would find them all.

    The 999 does hold a extra fond memory as he would have been on a train on 7/7 at the wrong time but he rode to work that day luckily first ride of the year and I have never been so relieved to hear a bike as a kid when I heard him get home that day on the 999 you could hear it several streets away
