Hello from Canada

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Sinister, Dec 22, 2012.

  1. Hi there fellow Ducati fans, I am a new guy to the world of Ducati...this year I purchased the 2012 848 EVO Corse SE and it is my first bike that I bought in over 23 years so I decided to spend a little more than what a person would pay for the Japanese 4 brands.

    I love the Ducati because it is the Ferrari of the motorcycle world and the styling is just pure sex which happens to not look like a bug!

    Well here it is on the day that I bought it!

    I guess that the mod bug bit me and I have totally transformed this 848 and built it into an R version with all of the modifications and to my personal taste.

    This is taken in September when I started to mod the bike...

    These pics are about 1 month ago adding more mods...

    Ohlins - R/T 819 Forks, Damper, still waiting for the TTX MKII rear shock to arrive.
    Nicols - Triple Tree
    Ducati Performance - Light Weight Fly Wheel, Slipper Dry Clutch.
    Ducabike - Clutch Cylinder, Frame Plugs, Levers, Rear Sets, Steering Head Nut & Damper Bracket, Rear Sprocket Cover.
    Rizoma - Fluid Tanks, Engine Cover, Grips & Bar Ends.
    Termi New Style Full Race Exhaust.
    Carbon Fibre - Through Out!
    OZ Piega Wheels
    Sargant Seat with Stitching instead of piping.
    Tamburini Fuel Cap.

    This is what the bike looks like today...

    I am still waiting for a few things to come in to finish it off like my fairings are getting some custom air brushing touches & paint, my headlights are getting true projectors with halos & demon eyes fitted in California.

    So all in all everything should be finished in the middle of January 2013 and I will put up more pics then!

    Cheers!

  3. HI Sinsiter welcome to the world of Ducati.

    WOW gotta say she looks awesome.
    AH see you have the bug about getting new bits for her.
    She is a sexy italian beauty that could drain your wallet so be careful. loll. :biggrin:
     
  4. Thank you for the warm welcome and yes I do agree that these beauties drain your wallet rather quickly lol!
     
  5. Welcome Sinister, lovely looking bike! I'm guessing you have plenty of time at the mo to finish off your mods!
     
  6. Yes well it is winter time now here in Canada!
     
  7. Welcome.

    very nice bike, guess you have got "proper" winter to get all the work done.

    Enjoy, and season's greetings.

  8. Hello and welcome
    Enjoy the forum :)
     
  9. Car is the wrong colour.......you would get another 20mph out of it if it was red....:wink:


    PS...I didn't know bananas came from Canada...

    AL
     
  10. Hahaha...that "Banana" puts just over 500 BHP
     
  11. Yeah but beause it's a banana it will only go round corners one direction (unless you flip it, that is)......and.....

    ...my trainers are 300 brake to start off with..........(actually I don't wear trainers, ever............)

    ....and that banana looks remarkably like my 200SX although mine was a green one.....

    AL
     
  12. I love my Camaro, I have had that car for over 23 years...it's a fun summer toy along with the bike lol!
