Newbie From Maldon

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by NigelM, May 21, 2014.

  1. After 21 years of being without a two wheel option, apart from a little quiver of push bikes, I have taken the plunge once again. A Kawasaki man in the past, I decided it was time to fulfil the dream and get a Ducati. Picked up a 999s on Sunday and rode 280 miles home. Just like riding a bike. Bloody marvelous to be back!

  10. Welcome + a lurvly trip9 you've got there. I had a 999s & loved it. A unique Ducati that broke the mould.
     
  11. It seems to be a bit of a Marmite bike. Those who were brought up on the 916 generation don't seem to like them very much, but I think it looks great. It has aged very well. There is a lot of red from the side profile, but I am working on a plan to cure that issue. Nothing bling, just a couple of subtle mods. From a handling perspective it's light years ahead of my old 1989 ZX10!!!
     
  12. <3 the stacked lights on them.
     
  13. Loads of us over in Chelmsford. Meet at the Angel pub in Boreham every third monday (just missed it!).
     
  14. ...next month then. That's handy next to the hospital!
