Just bought my first Ducati as a 60th birthday present, a 2016 Scrambler Icon 800 and so far I'm loving it.
Welcome to the forum @Nosebolt. Bristol, bike theft capital of this fair isle... Or have they tackled that issue? Don't think I'd dare park a Ducati anywhere on the street there. Going to see my daughter who's at uni in Bristol this weekend, will be in the car.
Hello from just outside the land where people say “gurt Lush” and are busy trying to avoid getting stabbed otherwise known as Swindon
Ahh, Swindon, where I spent my teenage years and learnt to drive - on the "Magic Roundabout"! I also commuted to Rolls-Royce Filton for a while before I moved west. I'll always remember the Lyneham bends! And I only got done for speeding there once! My morning trip to work was on the M4 as I was always late, but I used to come back on the M4, and bail at either the Bath exit or the Chippenham exit. This was so long ago that after school in Wroughton, most people either went to apprenticeships at Listers by our School in Wroughtonl, or the railway works in Swindon, Now all gone. I went to college and that's gone as well! I seem to have that effect on places!
Ah yeah, I play in Wroughton Silver band and some of the older guys worked at listers and the steam place, a shame some of the heritage has gone. I grew up in Newbury and that was Vodafone and Bayer long gone, a Voda is a shadow of its former presence in the town
