Welcome. I hope you aren't exceeding your country's 100BHP limit there!!:wink: Love the 750SS with half fairing.
:biggrin: Not the 750SS but the 853....... :biggrin: I dont like Ducati half fairing but the Kaemna half fairing is so beautifull
Hello and welcome to you and your collection Plenty of knowledge here on the forum to help you Have fun
Welcome to the forum. Youve some nice twisty roads in that area. I visited a friend there about 15 or so years a go and he took me to a club at the top of a very twisty mountain road, very scary coming back down with a drunk French man in a wobbly Peugeot!
I av a qestyon , why do thez Frenchies ave iabusa when they only ave a undred orsepower , pleez explain. Welcome .The above in French so you can understand :biggrin:
Bonjour M'sieur, comment allez vous? Bon? Moi aussi avez le 750SS...... J'ecrit avec la plume da ma tante dans la salle de manger, aujourdhui.............Merde! Je ne parle pas Francais........... AL
Bonjour Sam, Nice bikes, especially like the 748. I had a 748RS, fantastic. I live in Cahors (Clermont Ferrand has Michelin and we have great wine!) and there are quite a few Ducati riders here. Also I have some contacts here that build 748's with 1100 2 valve engines. Welcome to the forum and beware of British humor......the French don't always understand it but they are nice really. Vivre la France! Greg Ps what is happening with Charade?, great circuit, I rode on it in 2007 but the NEW houses owners built around it were complaining about the noise so they closed it....
Thanks everybody :biggrin: 100hp is more than enough to ride on the road but it is my pleasure to prepare the bike
Well, what happens over here is, you get the bike from the shop with the throttle restricted to about 1 quater of it's normal turn, ride home and then remove or bend the offending widget so the throttle turns all the way, simples. It's a stupid law ( actually illegal by European law ) they are gonna lift it sometime in 2014 I believe, it's wierd over here, there's no MOT for bikes, 100 bhp limit and the fuzz ride around in short sleave shirts, oh! and you can take your bike test in shorts, T-shirt and trainers as long as youre wearing a bib and helmet your safe.
