  1. What are they like for servicing price-wise? They're the nearest official dealer to me and mine will be coming due in May so I need to get booked in.
     
  2. I'll let you know when I get the bill on Monday........but there is a "Ducati Standard Charging Schedule" as I understand it.

    But it was a great night out in the nineties, all the barmaids dancing on the bar in bikinis in Idols. They will all be grandmothers now :(

  14. Dreams and pounds sterling.
     
  15. Been clearing dads home this week after he passed away last month.
    Today I put up in my bike store some of the memorabilia he’d kept from me racing
    He’d kept every race program that he’d come & supported me at (well over 100 meetings)
    I threw them away but put the one of me on the front of the program up in a frame.
    Best memories of my dad were our weekends away racing.

  18. Discovered that a Ducati Multistrada V4 righthand mirror has a reverse thread. And it's a massive M10 steel bolt into delicate alu. Why? (To annoy me - I know.)

    Also discovered the bodge to try and stop the water pooling in said thread/bolt - by using a (now rusty) spacer to keep the drain hole clear. Is that really the standard build, or did the last owner bodge it?
     
  19. Bought a can of this to try because I keep hearing good things about it as a protectant from the winter crud.
