A big hello to all . I've not been here for while because I lost my login details ( and my bike ! ). I only recently recovered my cherished ST4 after 3 years ( and thousands of Km ) of separation , and I wondered if I would ever see it again . It spent those years stood-up outdoors , a stone's throw from the Med and it's been in the heat and sunshine , since somebody decided to take the cover off it . It's going to need a lot of work to get it running again !
Thanks for the welcomes everybody ! including all people called Dave . I've been browsing the forum a little and it certainly seems to be a friendly place . I think I recognise some members here from other Ducati forums in the past . Was anyone here on Desmocorse.net ? I think it was UK based but it seems to have disappeared now . By way of further introduction , I suppose I should probably write about the restoration , but which section here would be the best place ? .... projects ? .... or ST4 ? @El Toro Is that " Dave " in the Papa Lazarou sense ?
There was an attempt to steal it , but luckily it was an idiot who tried . He took a hammer and screwdriver to the locks before realizing that there was no battery ..... no other damage was done . It was padlocked and chained but they had gone , so I reckon he had been at it for a while . I got a tip off , and that put an end to it .
OK glad the thief was unable to rob you... But what is the story "I only recently recovered my cherished ST4 after 3 years ( and thousands of Km ) of separation , and I wondered if I would ever see it again"
