  1. Hi from Cheltenham, been lurking for quite a while now & thought it was time to say hello!
    Had a monster696 for 5 years then replaced it with a panigale899 last August - never looked back, absolutly love it even though the chain gets rusty

  3. welcome - only four weeks to the festival ?

    Personally, I'd avoid burgers in Cheltenham until the following month at least

  4. Cheers,
    always lost my money on the horses anyway! Would rather lose it on bits for the bike.

  11. Thanks for the warm welcomes ! Will have a look at that gold chain. It seems that even after plenty of lube it still gets rusty within a couple of rides.

  12. Don't wash it and put it away with a wet chain. Ride it for a couple of miles after a good clean. Anywhere between 2 and 200 miles will do it. ;)

  13. Welcome to ducati ownership....strip it, replace all the fittings with stainless and get friendly with a powder coating outfit.!

    Other than that brilliant bikes...

  14. Hi, I'm new too but as yet Duc deficient. Just a point on the chain. I've been reading up on this ACF-50 which a lot of bikers swear by, you might want to try it. Google it there some good positive info around

    Hi there John, yeah I've always used ACF-50 on my past bikes aswell as my Panigale- great product I'm sure without it my Monster would have been completely eaten up with rust! I used that rain, shine , snow & ice.
