  1. Just popped in to say a quick hello from sunny Staffordshire :)
    Recently purchased my first Ducati, a 1998 748, really pleased with it so far, just done a basic service on her (oil, filters, plugs and belts etc), bit of a change after nearly 40 years of Jap multi's and twins but fun none the less :)
    I shall no doubt be asking a few questions if any problems crop up ;)
    Cheers
    Rich

  6. Hi Rich and welcome to the forum. :)
     
  7. Must admit to being a bit worried about having enough leg room on it being 6'2" but it feels roomier than the TL1000R I had before it.....bit of a Tardis really.

  14. Yup, did the belts myself, watched a couple of vid's on-line first, seemed fairly straightforward so thought I'd give it a go :upyeah:

  16. I did get a fair bit of history with the bike plus the original sales receipt, most of the original servicing was done by Baines Racing, they also fitted the Remus exhaust and the invoice also lists chip, not really checked into that yet but it goes well.
     
  17. Nice machine -enjoy
     
  18. What cake do you like
