The last trackdays on the 900ss for this year. Now it will get som mods during winter. I got caught on these pictures.

collected my Monster 1200R on Saturday after a year or so away from the Ducati fold.
Traded my KTM Superduke 1290R for it.
Very happy so far.

Hello everyone, I'm Louie. I'm big fan of Ducati race bikes especially 916, 996 and 998. I work with my dad restoring historic WSBK bikes.

So after a issue with my 999r gearbox and reflecting on the ever growing rarity of parts I decided a number two bike was in order.

After some careful consideration and number crunching my man maths made buying a 2015-on Aprilia RSV4 RF a good investment

Some shopping around found me a stock 2017 bike with tiny mileage and a bargain price (after haggling). Collected it today and went for a spin...
... sweat Jesus... it’s rapid and the chassis is hugely confidence inspiring. There is no doubt that it’s going to be a quick track hack

I bought this last night, really pleased with it, it’s the standard M1200 with 135bhp, more than enough for me!

Happy birthday to the old man, ducati dad. 78 today and still as fast as he ever was!!

Ducati Cup to continue until 2021 with option for further year
10th consecutive year as support series for BSB
Steve Plater to continue as Ducati Cup ambassador
Ducati UK is pleased to announce the continuation of the Ducati Performance TriOptions Cup for the next two years, with an option for a further year. The championship will celebrate its 10th year as a support series for British Superbike Championship having first become part of the BSB calendar in 2011.

The Ducati Cup, originally known as the 848 challenge, began in 2010 as a club championship before joining BSB as a support race a year later. Since then the Ducati Cup has evolved with the 848 Evo, 899 and the current 959 Panigale Superbike.

The championship has boasted strong grid numbers throughout its 10 years and includes two riders, Peter Hasler and Mark Cheetham who have been virtually ever present to this day. The Ducati Cup has also been a stepping stone for riders looking to move up the racing ladder and compete...

I just bought this today. Are they quite fast?

As per the advert for my Tricolore... due to life generally becoming ridiculously busy, us simply struggling to find any time to get out on the bikes this year and an extension to pay for... We have reluctantly come to the decision to let two out of our stable.

So here is the second which I would like to offer on here before it gets collected by Italia Moto on friday.

1198 Superbike (2011), 9507 miles, two former keepers, some tasteful extras and in lovely condition. All original bits included as shown in the photos. If someone from the forum takes it, I will include a set of paddock stands too. If it goes to italia, these will be sold seperately.

The bike has been in storage since 28/9/17. The bike was stripped of its failings, given a deep clean and good coat of ACF50, the tank was brimmed & fuel stabiliser added, a squirt of light oil put in each bore and a squirt down both...

Hello people, have been stalking this forum and benefiting from its rich pickings of info when it comes to answers needed for various Ducati problems and idiosyncrasies.
Have had a fair few Ducati’s over the years and have enjoyed them, except my 848 which crapped its pants and looked like the tin man had sneezed nuts and bolts over the road behind it.
Recently gave up racing motocross which has been my passion since I was a boy but the years of broken bones and injuries have finally cashed in their chips on me and I am now paying the price.
Currently ride an 1199 panigale and my commuter bike is my husaberg 650 supermoto which is an animal of a machine.
Still ride mx but not competitively anymore, just for fun lol.
General interests include lap dancing bars race meets, pubs, copious amounts of exercise and banter with like minded people, have absolutely no interest in talking about politics as I believe it’s like herpes and once you start with that subject you will never get rid...

I'm feeling strangely proud today.

For a few months, the washing machine has been gradually getting louder, until it's now at the point where it sounds like it has half a hundred weight of breeze blocks sloshing about in it. It had to be imminently about to go 'BANG' The utility door had to be closed for the last 2 weeks when in use as it was unbearably loud when on full spin.

Advice from those in the know was to buy a Miele at between £700 - £1,000 Because that's a lot of money to wash my socks and I'd rather spend the moolah on a Suzuki than a Zanussi, I decided to fix it. It was pretty obvious the bearings were the culprit.

So some Youtube videos later, to see what I was up against, I ordered the new bearings, seals and belt for under £20.

Did it today and it was quite theraputic.
The front bearing was indeed well buggered as it looks like the water tight seal had worn away. The worst part of the job was getting these sods out. I spent about...

Really glad to be back in Ducati Owner's Club, having previously had a 999s.
Picked this up today and couldn't be more pleased! Will try and get some more pictures - had a bit of rain today.
Anyway, here she is, completely stock at present - sorry no bins!

Proud owner of a Panigale R.

Quick question any pointers to where I can purchase paddock stands and what size pin fits?

She now has 410 miles on the clock so have managed to squeeze 150 miles in within 8 days, want to get first service in before end of summer.

Chuffed to bits and plan to use her as much as possible.

Had new new bike delivered today bit late in the year but guess that gives me time to bed it in b4 the winter comes and get it ready for track next year

Hi guys,
