Newbie in Devon

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by cockneyjanner, Apr 17, 2012.

  1. Hi All,

    Just found this site tonight whilst trying to research what happened to Ducatisti - looks like a great site.

    I've just moved to Devon (near Newton Abbot) from Somerset but haven't had much time to ride my 999S due to getting a hole through the oil cooler just the other day. Luckily I stayed upright despite the oil covered back wheel, and have fitted a replacement cooler now, so hopefully get onto some new roads at the weekend.
     
  2. Welcome aboard.
     
  3. Newton Abbott, tey burns outsiders douun there.

    I used to ride down there regularly to PGH M/C in Torquay when i had an Aprilia. Bloody traffic at the roundabout coming from Exeter, JEEEESSUS, it was bad.

    Might bump into you on Dartmoor. Warren Inn, summer eve, coffee and mixed Grill, can't wait.
     
  4. Welcome to the area and the site. Good choice of bike you have. Highly underated by some due to it not looking like 916. They don't realise what they're missing.
    The next Ducati meet in this area is 9am this Saturday morning at Route 38 Cafe the other side of Saltash near the Trerulefoot roundabout. My wife says it's forecasted to be rain so that could affect attendance. I'll be there by car if it's chucking it down.
    The nearest Ducati dealer will be GT Motorcycles in Plymouth once Ducati deliver their stock.
     
  5. Thanks for your replies guys.

    I'll definitely look out for some local meets and hopefully see some of you there.

    I wish it would stop raining!
     
  6. hello fellow 999s er im in topsham just down the road from you
     
  7. Welcome. I'm a bit further down but looking forward to some SW meets and diet breakfasts
     
  8. Welcome. I moved from Newton Abbot to Shepperton. My lad is still down there so I will be down for a Paignton bike night or two so maybe see you there.
     
  9. Hello & welcome Cockneyjanner, all you`ve got to do now is trade that GS in for a Multi and you`ll have a full house! :biggrin:
     
  10. Yep, I'd love to!! I'm doing a long commute on the GS at the moment but will probably trade it in for something when I leave the RN next year. A Multi is defo top of the wish list
