I have a passion for motorcycles, and I was hoping that one day I could share that with my son. I honestly didn't know if he would like them as much as I do and if he would want to learn to ride. I didn't want to force him into liking motorcycles or riding them, so I've taken it easy and eased him in gently.

So not to annoy my neighbours and anyone else in the village I decided to start him off with an electric bike, an Oset MX10. I thought he could ride on the fields, on a mx track and with some minor modifications on a kart track.

We started on the field, and it was fun but he was bored after 10 minutes or so which is fine. We then tried a flat track which went very very wrong. Too soon, to noisy and way too much for him to take in. I had to change tack, I didn't appreciate that for a child who has never experienced anything like this in their lives before it is a bit of a shock to the system, never mind the banter and swearing which he isn’t akin to yet!

I decided to take...

Just joined and purchased this 959 which has had a few mods and I love it! Looking forward to learning more about it through the forum. Based in Wales UK.

The colour range of the Multistrada V4 S expands with the new Iceberg White livery, available from March 2022

I traded my black 1200R last year for a new Z900RS.
Really nice bike, but it’s just not a monster. Lol
I’m trading it in this weekend for a 2018 1200R.
Can’t wait.

So…. I bought a 2020 (Gen 2) V4 last November to enjoy this years track season on.

A few changes to the bike over the past few months…. But the most decisive, is the decision to go from Red to magnificent Yellow

Hello all. Picked up my shiny 950 hyper from Stoke Ducati yesterday. 80 miles up the M6 was (almost) fun. What a bike! 50 mph winds today so it’s tucked away but cannot wait to get to know her. Pics to follow.

Not done much for a while, but one job I've been meaning to do is to fit a radiator guard. Never had a radiator guard on any bike I've owned and fortunately never needed one but i thought I'd treat the Pani to one.

I do however begrudge paying Evotech over the odds for a bit of mesh though.....I've got an Evotech tail tidy which is a quality bit of kit but I thought I'd have a go a making this on my own. Bought some automotive mesh typically used for front grilles etc.

Its a fairly big job and a bit of bastard to do so thats been putting me off too but gave it a go anyway.

Started off by stripping it down and freeing off the cowling that surrounds the radiator and oil cooler. I then made a paper template and used this to cut the mesh with a grinder.

I cut 5mm bigger all the way round so that it would sit behind the cowling and be held snuggly and securely in place. Once cut i tidied up the edges and painted the exposed metal to protect it. Finally I used a little insulation...

Hi all,

My name is Jay and I have just took ownership of a Ducati 1299 base model, early 2017 model with 3800 miles, not yet ridden it.

I am new to Ducati's, I have had countless Jap IL4s but once I tried an Aprilia V2 I never looked back, I guess that is why I am here now.

The Italian bikes seem to have so much more character and I love the V2 power delivery.

I will be trawling the pages and racking your brains over the coming months, firstly with the mystic gold colour that belongs to the anniversary edition 1299.

Hoping that this Ducati proves reliable and ownership is a good first experience for me.

& I look forward to meeting you all,

Jay.

Hi
Thanks for letting mw join
Just bought an 848 Streetfighter
Previous Ducati's were a Sport classic 1000 & an 851
Bit of a fair weather biker, but having taken early retirement, any sunny day is a day out on the bike, on either the Fighter or my R9T Racer
Just waiting for the weather to take a turn for the better & the gritters to do one

My first non sportsbike. Big thanks to @michel couque for passing it on to my care. Just hope I gel with it. No doubt will have questions as I get to grips with it.

Hi all. As mentioned a couple of times, thinking about selling the 996R I have had for two years. My knees are shot and this should be ridden for more than the 20 mins I can manage now (not to mention a new V4PP to pay for that is now here ).

Immaculate Ducati 996R. One of the very first, number 009 of 500. Manufactured in 2001 and sat unregistered as display model in collection of Team Renegade Ducati team owner, Mark Griffiths.

For sale is my 99 996 biposto.

Stack of receipts and last owner had for 10 years+ maintained by the fantastic independent v duo dealer in Lincoln where I purchased this from.

I've loved owning this part of my childhood poster bike dream but life ever changing means we need to part ways.

This can come in two guises with two different prices.

Standard biposto trim bar the Ducati performance levers, carbon chain guard and hugger, carbon exhaust guard and termignoni's. £7999

Or as it sits now with the above and... (most of which haven't even seen the road);
