Hello all. I have been a biker for many years and had a few different bikes but i thought as my mid forties have arrived and with a fair bit of nagging from my brother in law about not being a proper biker until you own a Ducati its time to own one. I have just picked up a lovely 749 and will apologise in advance for all the dumb questions I am bound to ask like "why isn't the battery under the seat like my old 'blade.... Anyway hello to everyone. Fred.
Hi Fred, I'm new too (today) and have found there's a lot of useful stuff on the forum! Enjoy exploring!
Where abouts in Essex? There's a load of us in Chelmsford - in fact we're meeting at the Angel pub on Broomfield Rd tonight from 8pm if you're local. Pop in and say hello!
Thanks for all the welcomes. @antonye I'm on a course this week so not able to get out. However i'm only 30 minutes away from you so let me know if you do any further ride outs. I'm a bit of a fair weather biker though!
