  3. Ive never lost a thing in 10k. Do know that the OEM heat shield ones are expensive from a dealer.
     
  4. That happened to mine after two weeks. I bought replacements and loctited them in. I now tighten all visible bolts after every ride out.

    ps. Buy your replacement bolts somewhere other than a Ducati dealer cos they'll have your eyes out too.
     
  5. Correct........£20 for two :rolleyes:
     
  6. You're not supposed to toast it until it starts to melt - not even in Switzerland.
     
  7. Bolt isnt, but the washers etc bloomin are!
     
  8. Congrats Matt.

    At 9lb 8oz, you won't be wanting a babygrow, but one of Philsoldmobile's onesies!

  10. I've been on a 500mile round trip to Salisbury court ( 20 min hearing ) wtf !!!!!! All because of some lard fingered vindictive I want the shirt of your back because I can't get on with my own life miserable twat , ordered it so ...... Nice ride back in the sun though....the journey down was wet , windy and fackin cold ........
     
  11. Spent all day dealing with entropy:

    Sprayed grass with weedkiller, because they are taking over.
    Sprayed roses with anti-bug and anti mould chemicals - because both will take over if I don't.
    Sanded and oiled garden table and bench - because sun, rain and cats are all taking their toll.

    Made tuna, tomato, onion and lemon kebabs - because I will shrivel up and die if I don't eat.

  13. Yeah, I can imagine! Congrats on the new addition too Matt!

    I've tried to find some online but no luck, what spec bolt am I looking for ET?

    Spent 15mins going over the bike tightnening all the bolts that I could see. The right subframe bolt (the exposed one) was considerably undertightened. WS Manual says it's a 'safety critical' point. No shit Sherlock!

  14. Bite the bullet and buy from a dealer, then use a threadlock to stop it happeneing again
     
  15. You could but it will cost you.

    I'd call the dealer and ask for the type/spec of bolt then get it elsewhere.
     
  16. Just as a matter of interest, Jim, why does the footer on your posts say "ubique"?
    It's a cool word - just wondering why it figures there?!
     
  17. Reading about IPND Data for Australia - nodding off
     
  18. My heat shield lasted exactly 36 miles. Well thats how many Id done when I stopped and noticed it wasnt there any more. :biggrin:

  19. Ubique is a cool word, part of the motto on the cap badge of the Royal Artillery.It means "Everywhere"-so apt.
