evening all, Short intro and "hello". Just bought my first Ducati.....a 99 900SS. Rode it back home today after collecting - first impressions very good - great character and sound.....and a really relaxing gait, coming down the M1!. Recent bikes include a BM R1150R (which I still have - great all rounder), a 955i Daytona (the later 147bhp version) which I ran for 7 years before moving to the BM, a 1200 Bandit before that, loads of Jap bikes over the last 30 years and a couple of ancient two strokes that get a thrashing round the lanes of Leicestershire every now and the (MZ 250 and a B175 Bantam). Had been looking for a classic air cooled Duke for a while a look forward to putting some miles on the 900 this year.
