Newbie From Reading

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Swede, Oct 2, 2015.

  1. New member just saying hello, I live in Reading and ride a monster 696 wich I have owned since February of this year, my second bike after a ktm 450 supermoto, it's already taking my spare cash in modifications and I definitely have the ducati bug. Cheers simon
     
  2. Welcome Dave :)
     
  3. Welcome - do you know that blonde bird from Abba by any chance, or does "Swede" refer to a turnip type thingy ?
     
  4. To young to know anyone from ABBA, it's an old nickname and was my username on other car forums years ago

  9. What, Aircon? :smile:
     
  10. Well if you want it like that then advice is all you can have at present.

    Took a great service call earlier.

    Both our ac systems are off and don't switch on (they are linked).
    OK. Let's try a hard reset to see if the outside unit has locked up.
    Please turn off the isolator to remove the power for just 20 seconds.
    I can't
    Why?
    It's already off.
    Ok. Turn it on and that will fix it.
    Click, yep that did it. Thanks for your help.


    And no I didn't charge for this advice!

  14. Welcome in, I love the 696, stunning bike! And love those pipes. Do u go to reading ducati? My mate Helen used to be the service manager there
     
  15. Thanks

    Thanks I'm happy with it for the moment other than craving a little more power but I'm used to that. Yes I bought this bike from there as I live a 10 minute walk away don't know of a Helen though
     
  16. She left about a month ago and was in service so u probably dealt with Andy or Gareth. Glad u are enjoying it, I'm sure the 1100 had a little more power but the 696 is so much fun to thrash! I would have one tomorrow but I'm saving for a wedding ha
     
  17. Andy I believe, I did deal with a blonde girl in service for a part I was after?
     
  18. That's Helen yeah. And Andy is a decent chap, bought my 848 Evo from them (also because I got Helens staff discount on all parts and servicing ;-)) as I only live in hungerford. I prefer to go to snells now though as Alton is a better run out
