  1. Hi all.

    Just found the site. I havent ridden for years but have always been in love with the original 916 since it came out in 94 so have just bought a 1995, 916 Monoposta, 18,000 miles. The bike is stunning, i feel like standing it in my living room on its paddock stand so i can sit and stare at it (and i would if my mrs would let me, haha). Perfect condition, been well and truly cared for but has been standing for over 13 months. Have had oil changed and plugs and will be ordering some belts as i believe they should be changed every couple of years (last done dec 2010)

  9. Thanks for all the warm welcome's guys. Keen to catch up with fellow Duke lovers! It's also nice to know that I'm not the only one who wants to park my bike up in my lounge and stare at it, was a bit concerned u may think i was was strange, lol.
    Can i ask who you guys have taken insurance out with and if they are competitive on price!
     
  10. Carol Nash, they went from reasonable in the first year to rediculous in the second.....so I told them to shove it, then they became very very competetive.
