Old Git On The Block

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by al750sl, Oct 11, 2015.

  1. Morning feiiow Ducati freaks, not much of a computer expert so bear with me please. My current ride is a lovely old 97 750SS in yellow, (one of the slow ones according to the good people at Ducati Medina. Too much paint, don,t cha know.) I am currently trying to upgrade the old boy with a few parts up to SL standard. So far I have managed to fit an old alloy JMC swingarm I had retained from a similar bike I had years ago just in case. I have also fitted upswept link pipes and exhaust brackets a la BBB Fabrications as well as the obligatory fruity alloy silencers. Next on the agenda a carbon front mudguard and seat unit. God! Carl Fogarty has a lot to answer for.
    Living in Wakefield means I tend to get to Squires at Sherburn in Elmet most weekends along with my brother and his pet Speedmaster Triumph, you,ll know us on sight,we sound like a Lancaster squadron touching down. Give us a shout if you see us, or better still buy us a pasty. See you soon, dudes, ciao.
