Hi guys and girls, Thought I’d quickly introduce myself as I’ve just signed up. Picking up a 14 plate 899 with 400 miles otc on Friday. It’s my first Ducati after drooling over them for years and to say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement. I’ve been riding 675s for the last 4 years of which I’ve had 3 and I ride everywhere – I don’t own or drive a car so obviously rack up a few miles. Really looking forward to picking her up and reading the do’s and don’ts from the wiser heads of the forum. Oh and taking her for a quick blat over the mountain at the TT next year. I’m based in Essex if anyone fancies a blast some time. Cheers Si
S'up Si Hello and welcome into the mad house The locals will be along shortly Plenty of dos and donts to be had here Can we drool further is it red :Muted:
Hi red, Much like you I too am new to the forum and looking forward to my first Ducati soon. And since I live somewhat further south and east of your location can ride round the year
ive done your neck of the woods on a royal enfield mate, beautiful country and thanks for the welcome again everyone
Mate we went everywhere - bought the Enfields in Delhi, rode up to Himachal Pradesh/Manali (my favourite), across into the west part of Nepal through to Pokhara, Katmandu and out on the east side of Nepal, down to Varanassi via Patna (lovely part of the world, arf) and then down to Goa via Jaipur through Gujarat, Mumbai etc. Went further south (uti, mysore, mangalore and kerala) once we’d got our bikes put back together again in goa. They’re not the most reliable are they was a fair old slap and loved almost every minute/. 6 months it took us and id do it again tomorrow.
