Hi Everyone Just a quick hello and intro. My names Steve and I live in Bedford. I'm passionate about all things Bike. I'm mostly riding twins these days and own a Ducati Sport Classic 1000S, which I've modded mostly to improve handling and general performance. I originally went to the dealers to purchase a 1098 but fell in love with the Sport Classic as soon as I saw it in the showroom and the rest is history. I also ride an Aprilia RSVR1000 and a Buell XB12R Firebolt. All twins but all very different! I hoping for an active well supported forum with plenty of events, rideouts and general get togethers as I like socialising and welcome any excuse for a ride out. Cheers Steveduc
Hello Steve, Welcome onboard, nice bikes you got mate, Sport Classic 1000S best looking recent ducati imho. What have you done to it? pics pls. Cheers, Keith.
Welcome. I hope you get the chance to put up some photos of your bikes, especially the firebolt, don't see to many of those about
Thanks Matt. Yes, the Buell Firebolt seems to be getting rarer. Its damn good fun, especially on really twisty roads. When I get a chance, I'll take some pics of my bikes and post them on the Forum.
Keith, I forgot to mention the modifications. - Front adjustable showa, Gold Marchesini wheel conversion (these two mods make a huge improvements to the handling)999 discs front and rear, Gold Brembo 4 pots awaiting fitment, home made tail chop with LED lights (Im a trained engineer, so this like most things became a precision piece and took loads of time...mad really as you can buy some fairly nice set-ups off the shelf but at least its a bit different and I enjoyed doing it), relocated regulator, Termi exhausts, DP ECU, K&N, Fork protectors, Carbon rear hugger.
