After a long absence from riding I am the proud owner of an ST2 in fantastic condition and full history. I was very apprehensive about riding the bike for the 1st time but all that diapeared as soon as I rode off. Strarted riding in 1966 with Honda C50 next was a Triumph Tiger Cub then a BSA C15, BSA A7, BSA A10, BSA A65, Triumph Bonnivlle and Kawasaki 400 and over the years few trials bikes. So at 63 I'm back on 2 wheels and I absolutly love it! the Ducati is everything the bikes above should have become. I live North Wales and have access to fantastic roads. Glad to be back!!!
Its like riding a pushbike, you never forget. Although take it steady for a while until you get back in the swing of things! Welcome!
Welcome to the forum - great to hear someone else that has experience with proper British bikes with valve lifter decompression lol - Enjoy the ST - Oh by the way - No kick start - keep that battery in tip top condition & fit thicker leads - see my other post
Thanks for your support guys, by the way although have lived in Wales for 25+, I'm an English ex pat and I still can't talk the lingo.
good luck to you mate...you and your wallet will certainly becoming a lot more familiar with one another....
