70,000 miles on my 748. Still running very well. Do I get the silver medal? :D

Well I'm back home with the belts all done, and I have to say, Ducati Preston, who did indeed give me a lift back home, couldn't have been more...
It wouldn't hurt just to dress the tangs on the plates with a file! That outer basket looks very notched, but for me, the test is, does it work...
As I said upthread, there is no way I'm embarking on doing my own belts. If some of you guys can do it blind-folded, well, good for you. But I'm...
I know Lee, if it's the same guy. He's moved around a bit, hasn't he? Used to be in Rochdale, was it? Or Bury? Somewhere like that. Leeds and...
So I just rang Ducati (Preston, not Manchester, cos it's a bit easier to get to), and, as I expected, they were not enthusiastic.. It was "Oh...
As above. My old 748 (well, I guess they're all old now!) is due a belt change on a time basis. Although I've put a lot of miles on the clock in...
Well, I had my nice little Monster, and it was newer, much less mileage, and in better condition that the 748. And I told myself, this is the bike...
Just catching up with the thread; some inspiring stories there, guys!
I have Allen screws going into captive nuts under my 748 fairings, they are a lot safer than Dzus fasteners I think. I've suffering disappearing...
As for the cataracts, that was done at a private clinic, but through the NHS. The opticians will only let you go for it when your eyes get quite...
Interesting what you say about the Monster, I had lovely Monster, an air-cooled 800, only a few thousand miles on the clock, and my ageing 748....
I'm not getting any younger, I'll be 70 in a few months. I used to do 15k a year on my 748, these days it's barely 1000. But but but... I've...
Have you taken the clutch plates out and examined the clutch basket for notchy grooves? And likewise the tangs on the plates?
I didn't think anything prior to the 749/999 had a clutch micro-switch. Surely with a well set-up dry clutch, there should be hardly any...
My old Bonnevilles used to do that! :) Simply pull the clutch in, and apply the kickstart several times! Whaddya mean, you haven't got a...
It's not just me, then! :) It's a shame there isn't a better option; even the pinlock inserts only seem to be available in 'smoke' for the X-803,...
I had an eye test quite recently, as it goes. But I have always found those green visors awful from Day 1. Sadly, it seems they don't do a black one.
Some time back, encouraged by positive reviews here, I ended my long-standing relationship with Arai and bought an X-lite. And I'm very pleased...
