Introduction Of Newbee

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by 748rdave, May 11, 2016.

  1. Hi all,
    Just thought I would introduce myself to you all. Seems funny to call myself a newbee as in fact I'm far from it. Past my test many years ago but then went racing off road until 2001. It was the knees that gave up. Anyway decided to get a road bike just th annoy the wife really, booked a track day at Mallory Park using the bikes provided GSXR 600s. After a swift learning curve on the track I decided to buy a GSXR 600 in 2001 first of the injection models. It was not long after that I purchased my first Ducati a 748r ( serial number 883 )in 2003 I was lucky to find one of the last proper UK imported bikes. I sold the 748 in 2009 and replaced it with the RSV4 Factory which I had until 2014 when I decided to slow things down a bit. I'm now own a 2013 Hypermotard SP. The only racing these days is watched on the box and trackside.
    That's it for now

  9. Hi Andy,

    Should have kept my 748r, but always said to myself you can't ride two bikes at the same time. How silly I was.
     
  10. hello and welcome dude... do you know what happened to your 748r?
     
  11. I part exchanged it for the RSV4 in 2009. I think someone from Romsey brought it for a track day bike. It had about 14K on the clock.
     
  12. i bought a 748r frame from the netherlands a few years back number 883 think it was first registered in 03, have to find the paper work and plate! it was a uk bike befor it got sent there and broken the last mot that came with it was at 13k and issued in 09 if i recall correctly..
