Evening all, I've been lurking in the shadows of various Ducati forums for the past couple of years and finally taken the plunge to sign up as a member on this one. I currently don't have a Ducati (yet), need to make space in the garage for one, but quite fancy a 916 (looking at one on Gumtree in Glasgow - 1994 Strada, wrong wheels, sub frame and seat unit, but still has me tempted, so might have to make a phone call - anyone know it, is it worth a look ?). Current bikes - Harley Fatboy (get the laughing and jokes over and done with), RD350LC, RD350LC (Hybrid RGV running gear and YPVS engine - in dry build status), 1949 BSA 500, 1962 BSA 250, and several trials bikes - hence no room in the garage. Hopefully get a 916 soon and see you out on the road (in the Summer)!
Hi and welcome. Formerly from Hamilton. A 916 would be lovely but don't rush into it, the right one will come along soon.
Welcome, I've had a few Harleys, and enjoyed riding them, many miles. A couple of old Brits and several trials irons have cluttered up the garage over the years too. M&S Motorcycles on Westgate in Newcastle have a nice black 916 in at the moment. I had a look at it a few weeks ago and would have bought it if it had'nt been for the wife scowling at me.
