First service completed on the streetfighter and heated grips fitted Amusingly the car fuel consumption towing an enclosed trailer and the bike is better than the bike can do on a run
Put two tanks of fuel in, rode all day in the rain. The V4 Multi drinks €10 more of fuel per tank than my mates Yamaha Tracer, it’s a thirsty bike. But I don’t care!
Got my lad to pick up the new parts for the Versys, did a bit of rebuilding, the indicators were a real PITA to fit on the panels
The 750ss passed its MoT today. The first one in over 20 years after being used as an ornament. I had it pretty much ready after three months (in November) but a combination of work, family and the awful weather has delayed it a few months.
Rode my bike. Tried full throttle on 4th for the first time. Ran out out of balls at 12k, 3k to go. The force is strong with this one.
After faffing about for months I bought a Ride recommended rechargeable tyre inflator. There’s a a 10% discount at Halfords over the bank holiday weekend. I just checked and adjusted the Multistrada tyres, blew up the front tyre from flat on the RD250 and topped up my gravel bike tyres. I’m amazed at how good this is, although I doubt it will touch the Range Rovers massive boots !
Snapped a head bolt trying to swap it for one the correct length so spent far too long getting that out and its still not all out but it’s drilled and soaking in acetone/paraffin mix till tomorrow.
Of course it’s the only bastard I own . It’s originally a front cylinder and so the studs are different from the rear cylinder which is where it’s going.
A good bit of kit as they say I recently used mine for the car the bike the work van and the camper van It’s very capable
Fired up the Darmah for the first time this season and balanced his carbs. Took him out for a shake down blast and he's running smooth & strong. I'm always surprised what a enjoyable, involving & rapid point to point machine it is.
I thought all Ducatis were female?? It's not one of these new fangled things that chooses it's own pronouns is it???
Not sure about the newer ones but there was usual a "bas%ard" involved when talking about the older bikes
He-he-he, a Ducati that identifies as male. Who's ever heard of anything so preposterous.... Tbh I've always thought of him as a him & even recently thought of him as the previously alluded to b'stard... Perhaps that what makes 'em so enjoyably involving... 'character' don't cha know
