Hi to all from sunny Ipswich (ever the optimistic) New to the furom but not new to Ducati's. Had a 6yr break from road riding, then bought an R1 this year to start playing again. Didnt get on with the in-line 4 so much & missed that Ducati Pulse & roar from the Termies, so now I own a 1098. First Duke was a 996, then a 998, both lived in the front room! Like to ride hard, have done loads of track days, love Cadwell & Brands ...quite comfortable sitting on the back wheel (private roads only officer) Like to play a bit with the spanners, and always in the garage. Off to Italy in July for a trip with 8 other mates to the 'Stelvio Pass' to celebrate a couple of mates big birthdays this year. Know all the Suffolk roads & always up for a Hack Used to meet up at Copdock Tescos at 6am on a Sunday for 4hrs of empty roads...back by 10am for tea & medals !!! Chris in Ipswich... (1098... soon to be a Bayliss rep) Most desired machine ....1199R
So far I think it is only paulk563 and Archer17 that have found me.......(and marcoantonio - Duke600's dad) AL
