since chopping in my FT and getting the dvt, I kinda miss the raw simplicity, don't get me wrong I love the dvt it's a phenomenal piece of kit but for popping to the pub on a sunny evening, with jeans on I don't think you can beat the scrambler! So much so that I'm off to test ride this, I think it's got that sort of timeless look that won't look out of place in a few years time and it will compliment the multi!

It's took a while but she's 99.9% complete, yep another hybrid- 748 with a 1098 motor, not much in the way of standard bits on her, mainly custom machined & fabricated with a sprinkling of exotica. I won't bore you with the nitty gritty of it but I know you like pics so I'll bung a few up

My garage got screwed early hours of Saturday morning resulting in my 1299 Panigale, Tl1000R and my son's kx85 getting nicked plus all the families mountain bikes. I've always secured the door from inside thinking the windows at the back were secure enough. They've been screwed closed and painted over.

The scumbags came into the garden and tried to jemmy a window open smashing the glass in the process. I then think realising they couldn't force it open they took the time to unscrew the window completely.

Fair to say having not heard a thing when I found out what had happened it was a shit feeling.

Saturday morning some kids playing on some scrubland about half a mile away found the Pani and mountain bikes hidden amongst the trees. Luckily after telling their parents who'd heard of my garage getting done they knocked on my door to tell me. The Pani was on its side stand still with its steering lock on but had fallen over. The kids did say they see someone come and pick it back...

Picked this up today for my replacement of my 1199s....

The management of Donington Park race circuit and MSVR have to report that, following a multiple motorcycle accident during a race for the Ducati Performance TriOptions Cup, a support race to this weekend’s round of the MCE British Superbike Championship (April 1/2 2017), the rider of bike number 77, Mick Whalley of Sheppey, Kent suffered serious injuries.

The race was immediately stopped and the and other riders involved were treated immediately trackside by the BSB Medical Team.

It is with great regret that we have to announce that, following his transfer from the circuit, Mick Whalley succumbed to his injuries while undergoing further treatment at Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham.

Mike Honey, number 34, sustained multiple leg injuries and is receiving treatment and further assessment at the same hospital.

MSVR and the staff at Donington Park, are now working with both the Leicestershire Police and the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board in order to investigate the full...

Bought Ethan a moped for his 17th, wonder were Lexmoto copied the design from. If Ducati rebadged it, wonder what they would sell for ????

8th consecutive year of racing
Record entry of 52 riders including two ever-present riders since 2010
New 959 Panigale makes its British Superbike race debut

The Ducati Performance TriOptions Cup takes place at Donington Park this weekend at the opening round of the MCE British Superbike Championship. The series returns to UK tracks for the 8th consecutive year with an entry of 52 riders, a record for a BSB supporting one-make series.

Went too Hyside Ducati on Tuesday as they had this in for its 7500 mile shim check Thats my eldest son on the bike not me , he's a very big Rossi fan so managed to get a photo on the bike also a photo of there Tri option's cup race bike.

I'm pretty ocd when it comes to paintwork and when I first viewed the 1199 before it was clean I knew it had been washed badly by the previous owner.

It didn't have a tank pad so the tank, sides of the fairing etc were quite dull from leathers rubbing, back end had a few marks from what I'd guess was his boot catching when he cocked his leg over it.

I'm well aware this kind of thing doesn't bother the majority of people and some don't even notice but I like things to look there best and quite enjoy seeing the improvement.

When I picked it up the lad that cleaned it prior to me collecting said that he'd "really gone to town on it". Wheels were still dirty, chain grease all over the place, under tail section and exhausts all still dirty and I don't think the callipers have ever been cleaned but at least he tried.

Now I'm sure to most it looks fine but I'll show the areas that needed most attention.
I got it in the garage that night and went over it with some quick detailer...

Here's a link to a bit of fun I had today at snetterton! Hard to make passes stick without being caught on the straights but got there in the end. Running the standard Pirelli scorpion trials too lol

Open Day for all Ducati dealers in UK and Ireland
First opportunity to see all new 2017 Models
Chance to win a Ducati Track day experience including bike hire


The 8th April is an important date for not only Ducatisti but for all motorcyclists’ calendars. This is the day that Ducati dealers throughout the UK will open their doors to one of the most exciting model ranges to leave the hallowed doors of the Ducati factory in Bologna.

Ducati dealers will roll out the Ducati red carpet for customers to view the new 2017 model range that includes a wide range of motorcycles catering for all tastes and needs whether they are interested in the Ducati or Scrambler brands.

For lovers of the Ducati brand, then purists will sway towards the Monster family which for 2017 sees the update of the Monster 1200 family on both standard and S models. However this is much more than just a facelift as the bike captures the essence of the original iconic Monster. It evolves with a compact, light...

Picked this little baby up this weekend

Not been off road yet ( if I ever will..) [emoji1]

Hi all, I bought my Tricolore over the winter, got offered a great trade on my RSV4 so had to go for it, always been my dream bike and worked my way up through the ranks!

I have done a few things to her, thanks to people on here for help and advice .

List of changes:
Carbon Fever:
Heat shield
Suspension cover
Under seat section
Rear air vents
Key cover

Other:
Ducabike clear clutch over
LED front blank plate indicators
Oberon rear indicators

A load of stickers... which poses a question, with or without the DUCATI on the side?

Other info is I have a letter from Ducati saying my bike was first ordered by Jenson Button, doesn't mean much as he did not register...
