74 Ducati Scrambler based specials are taking part in the contest
Voting for the best-looking customized Ducati Scrambler is open on Scramblerducati.com until March 15
Prize for the winning bike will be awarded at Bike Shed London 2020 in May

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 14 February 2020 - The Ducati Scrambler based specials created by participants in the Custom Rumble, the contest that every two years rewards the best-looking customized Ducati Scrambler, are ready to be voted on Scramblerducati.com.

The contest, registrations for which closed in December 2019, has arrived at a total of 74 completed bikes, divided into the five categories renewed for this third edition. To leave room for reinterpretation and creativity, each customizer was able to choose between four categories dedicated to Ducati Scrambler 800 and Sixty2 and a specific one for the Ducati Scrambler 1100:

Rocker: motorcycles inspired by the culture of the legendary café racers that in the 60s gave birth to a...

Hi all

bought an 899 3 weeks ago for track use. Currently prepping for Andalucia first week of March. Intrigued to see how these handle on the track.
I’m coming from an S1000rr as I am after a better soundtrack and abit more soul (in-line 4s just don’t do it for me). Hopefully I’ll see some of you out on track this year.

Got my Diavel in October last year and am totally enamoured. Been riding in all weathers because its too good to keep indoors. Plenty of washes and FS365 looking after everything. Shad backrest is for my better half, does a great job of keeping her in situ. This is certainly her favourite bike so far, good news all round - result! Treated myself to some R&G heated grips to make things more comfortable, less than £30 from MandP. Wiring hidden under the original windshield with the control on the handlebar centre avoiding the weather. Speaking of the weather, that back wheel flings up so much water and dirt, anybody found a solution?

Couple of small issues - numberplate light failed and replaced (ouch - didn't you just love it when all you had to do was replace a bulb) Brake light decided to stay on and that was due to water collecting in the cable wrap so a quick fix and this weekend the cover fell off my right rear brake light/turn signal. Sealed units are great so long as they...

Hi everyone,

Ive recently bought my first Ducati, a 939SP. Its completely stock currently so im looking for a few additions. Ive only done a few miles on it so far but already find the stock seat too restrictive and I hear good things about the 'race seat' so im on the lookout for one Other mods im interested in;
Bar end mirrors - I like motogadget
Tail tidy
Qucikshifter
Im based in Horsham - West Sussex so be good to know if there are any other local members!

Ive just had my big service done by Italia Moto in Lincoln. Their service has been excellent therefore I thought they need a mention. They have just given up their franchise but were main dealers. Id had work done before by them so I trusted them.
From November to the 1st March they offer £10 per hour off their labour charge and also will pick up and drop your bike off for free.
They initially quoted me £800 to do the service. In order to bring the cost down I said I will be doing the oil and filter myself and I also removed the bodywork for them. They then quoted me £600.
On booking it in I told them my pads were over half worn. They quoted a mad price for Brembo brakes and said they would fit them for free. I asked if I bought the parts would they still fit them for free and they said yes.
So I searched online and found a company called Carpi Moto in Italy. They delivered genuine Brembo pads front and back for £72. The price from Ducati was more than this for one pair!.
After...

Hello everyone, just left a deposit on a 1299 this saturday, here is the link, it is still up.

a bit about me, I have had my license since July 2018, im 36 years old, bought a GSXR 600 as my first bike, and after one year bought a S1000R(Naked), wanted to try a Hyper Naked for the position etc but hated the fact there is no wind protection, so went back to Super Sports but wanted something special that I can keep for a few years.
Ill post pictures once I get it delivered home.

Hey all;

Just a quick introduction to myself.. I'm Jack , some people may recognize my name as I'm currently working within the Motorcycle industry, especially at the former Design Corse as I was the Technical Sales Advisor and had contact with a quite a few of the members within this community.

As many of you are aware, unfortunately Design Corse is no longer however I plan to remain active in these various communities as I am a huge motorcycle enthusiast (especially Italian bikes) and definitely appreciate and would like to maintain the relations I've developed across the two years at working at Design Corse and be a part of these great forums

I've been riding for the past 4 years, pretty much every day across two bikes throughout the years (KTM RC125 & Ducati Monster 797+), riding an approx ~25k miles in all different weather conditions. I've attached a picture of my Monster below, it's got a few mods done to it and probably soon to be more.

Looking forward to being a part...

It’s without doubt the worst Christmas present my wife and I had ever had. In fact it came early and we’re still unwrapping it.

‘Take a seat, this is the surgeon’. What?...Ohhhh.

After the first piece of information his mouth continued flapping but nothing was reaching our ears. So hard to believe when you first start to take it in. The silence, the deafening silence.

I know some of you have been there. So many people speak up and have been through it.

And what can you do? What can she do? What can I do? Not that much really other than be here to support. Many well meaning people offer help in any way they can but what can they do? You can only put your faith in the surgeons and modern medicine and cross your fingers.
Think positive.
Here we are, on the eve of commencement of treatment. 18 moths of Chemo. 18 months! A year and a half!

Then they operate.

Then radiotherapy and various other things.

That’s apparently the way they do it nowadays, so they can see how it...

Thought I’d drop a quick hello to this sub group having just traded in my 1200 DVT for something a bit more youthful in a 950SP. Picked her up last Thursday and took it out and about in North Wales to get a feel before deciding what, if any, tinkering needs doing. So in terms of weather it was very damp with spots of fog which given that I was on new Supercorsa’s made me cautious with the throttle and also I kept in Touring mode. So first impressions were;

a) Out of the box suspension set-up appears to be very, very good, in fact probably one of the best of all the bikes I’ve ever had new. That’s probably coincidence for my 86Kg. The Multi from new appeared to come set up for a rider with zero weight and required a lot of suspension adjustment to get it handling comfortably. However with the Hyper after about half an hour I’d almost forgot I had SC’s and felt confident enough to push it harder into the twisties.

b) It definitely has knack of drawing the adventurous...

Hi Guys,

three weeks ago decided now I have the last opportunity to do something totally out of the box to swap the old 848 electronics for a panigale 1199 electronics with all the standard benefits like DTC, oem Ducati quickshifter, ride by wire system, ABS, nice panigale display etc. And also decided to paint the frame in red instead of grey.

Yesterday started with dismount the complete bike to make it ready for a paint job and the engine ready for the new electronics.

I hope I can post in the couple of weeks some more updates.

thanks!

Firstly, apologies for just adding to someone else’s thread!!!

Secondly, picked up my first Ducati yesterday after years of riding Honda. Saw it, loved it, rode it, loved it more. A very happy boy tonight..

Any other Hypermotard 950 owners in Banbury??

Hello to you all. Some of you may remember me, I used to have a pair of super sports(750 and a junior) but decided to sell both of them in 2016 and by a Honda. Worst thing I could have done! Bought a Honda for the reliability, what a POS it was. So disheartened with it that I sold it to one of those internet buying company’s. So I’ve been bikeless for a year, until today!! Not picked it up yet (next Saturday) but have bought a 900ss. It has a checkered pass as it’s now registered on a Q plate having been stolen at some point. So it’s registered as a 98 but as some of you keen folks will notice it looks like a 91/2 to me, decals and small breather on the tank. I am a purest but loved both of my white frame/ wheel machines that I owned before so will be putting this one back to how god made it. Photo attached and will post some more next weekend when I pick it up. Will start a tread for the refresh, have been reading the most recent ones with interest, loving the work

Hi all, my name is Martin Carey from Suffolk and am a new member although I am not new to Ducati having been the proud owner of a 748 in the past, I am fairly senior rider, heading for 74, and am now in love with my current Monster 1200S Stripe.

Now there is some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel I've resurrected the tour I had to cancel last year. It’s a 6 night, 5 day tour, all of which you can do without having to cart all your luggage around as we return to the same base each evening.

The itinerary is as follows:

Sun 5th September - arrive in Kenmare, Co. Kerry, staying at the Kenmare Bay Hotel for the week. This hotel has been chosen for a variety of reasons;
- safe off street parking for the bikes at the front of the hotel,
- within walking distance (10 mins) of Kenmare town centre,
- it has an indoor swimming pool, steam room, sauna, beauty and therapy treatment rooms all available FOC to guests.
- the food is good and the breakfasts are copious.
Sunday evening we eat together in the hotel - a kind of get to know everyone meal.
Mon 6th Sept - we head south, over the Cork & Kerry mountains (made famous by ‘Whiskey in the Jar’, Thin Lizzie and the Dubliners) via the Caha Pass to tour the Mizen & Sheepshead...

A lad at work has been making curries for a while now after discovering a YouTube site called Al's Kitchen. In a word, they are tremendous.

Al's Kitchen - YouTube
He sometimes brings them to work and people are almost fighting over them. Anyway, I decided to have a bash today after he's been telling me how easy they are to make. I had planned on a trip to a local Indian supermarket, but I managed to get everything I needed in Morrisons.

Then, because I plan on keeping this up and my nature, wouldn't allow open packets of spices in the cupboards, off to buy some storage jars. One label maker session later, and I now have everything I need to make a regular curry.
1st thing's 1st, everything is based on a "Base Gravy". Basically the guy's recipe is a sack of onions, loads of garlic and some spices. All of his curries are made from the base. Boil it up for an hour and blend it.
Right, which one to make..... A no brainer, the lad...

Not sure what section this should fall under?

But couldn’t resist sharing...
