Hi to all on here. What fun will you be up to over the Easter long weekend? Get out there and ride the "beast" I say and get it "dirty". I would like to thank all on here that have donated to my charity Ducati challenge, also all those that might have spread my link. Those that might have looked at items on the charity auction and bid.

M1. A46. A6097. A1 A1M. A696 night stop Durham. 18th up A68. M90. A9 up too Wick, JOGS. 19th down A9 M90 A7 night stop Cumbria. 20th M6 M56 A49 A699 M5 Exeter night stop 21st A30 Lands end and back to Exeter. 22nd up to midlands M5 A40 fosse way. chipping Norton A43 A5 back to jacks Hill café. Hope to see other Ducks out and about on the 6 day trip "so give me a wave". you might see me in a laybye having a quick fag at any point. Fingers crossed for the weather and GET OUT THERE BIKERS. One last push for donations which go straight to the very good cause Dementia UK. The ride is all self funded and all money goes to the charity. Thank you for looking at my full story on there and have a look at the donations from around the World and Ducati World. ian wood is fundraising for Dementia UK best regards Ian
Thanks Finm, Follow my progress on the Justgiving web page, will try too update every evening with mileage, schedule, weather, what`s fallen of "me" or the "Duck" and some photo`s. 5 days to the off. ian wood is fundraising for Dementia UK So what`s the rest of you up to Easter????? ian
SNOW ?????? Who said that?? I`m not looking at forecast. won`t be many other Ducati`s out on the road then if that's coming. ha ha
Skint after belt service payment till month end so will be mainly walking out to the garage to look at the ducati ornament until then and getting ready for SS gathering. Good luck with your ride
No body else doing any thing over Easter break then?? Don`t let the weather put you off, it will be great weather to get out and about. 4 days to get some plans drawn up. ian ian wood is fundraising for Dementia UK
Nothing planned for Friday as yet so I may go and see my olds then. Saturday SWMBO is going on a Thai cookery course that I bought as a Xmas present. So a Thai meal for me on Saturday night If the weather is nice I'll be on Eva Sunday we are having a meal with the girl next door and her parents. And Monday the lads, wives and grandchildren are coming round for the day, so I'll be playing and running around all day.
I'll be in the shed electrocuting myself, trying to rewire the Guzzi. I've decided it must be up and running by the bank holiday monday. I fully intend to ride it to the Dutch TT in June, so I need to pull my finger out.
it will be, the other pics show a v.nice looking rolling chassis. as for me, i might even take a long weekend.
Please let there be something to do in the god forsaken hell hole that is East Anglia. No bugger ever leaves the place or their own town ...
That is definitely my take on the area. I don't go there often now, but I used to. You're gonna need to find your own fun He11cat, and you might as well go in for the kill...
Finished at Towcester today....1872 miles...in total. 5 1/2 days. bike never missed a beat, only one snapped clutch cable (had spare) and a few oil top ups. Scotland very sunny and great roads, Cumbria great roads and "empty" of cars, Cornwall great side roads to "scratch on". Thanks for any more donations from here while I`ve been away. Sorry forgot to ask, what have you been up to over the Easter weekend?? BIG DEEP bath tonight and "work" tomorrow. all the best Ian and the "Duck"
Congratulations Ian, well done. I'm sure many people that use this website have known, or will know, someone who suffers from dementia and your selfless efforts will help all affected. Thank you, from me.
