Newbie 749

  1. Hello All

    Thanks for having me. I'm Surrey based. I've had a good few bikes over the years - I loved and lost an Italian once an RSV Mille R - but this 749 is my first Ducati. I absolutely love it. It's given me the run around a little bit since I've owned it, and this forum has been invaluable when passing by looking for clues, so looking forward to helping out others also, if I can.

    Steadily working through a few little servicing bits to get it tip top, but I absolutely love the bike and love working on it.

    It's had a life. Low mileage low owners and runs sweet, but it's been dropped at some point and has pattern fairings so I'll be fiddling and fixing as I go (riding too) and trying to enjoy all of it as much as possible.

    AndyC

  4. I'm pretty impressed with it tbh. It was cheap, it's got bads of character, easy to ride, highly adjustable, simple, easy to work on, and sounds awesome.
