Just Going Out - Maybe Some Time
finally.... it’s been a tough year, we all have them - but I am off solo. Jumped on board a ferry to France with my mutley and we are going exploring... wish me luck -
A Real Looker
For a GS best one they’ve made imho. Colours, style, loving the gold spoked rims.
And the dash is incredible. Bright, large, clear and no need for satnav: connect phone with app and it puts the nav on the main screen!
Think me and this bike will do some miles -
For Sale Panigale Gopro Bracket
So I've started making a few bits for the bike and thought I'd offer them out on here to anyone interested.
More function over form but nice and cheap and do the job nicely.
GoPro / Camera Mount
Made from 1.2mm ali and pressed to clear the top yoke these sit perfectly and allow a camera to be mounted directly with a sticky pad. Use the existing fixings for the key surround so fits on and off in seconds.
I've put some photos below showing the bracket, fitted, camera mounted and also the view it gives from my camera, great viewing for trackdays as you can see all the info on the dash and out the front. Worth pointing out all the trackdays I go on they do state no cameras allowed on the tank, these sit just in front so no complaints from marshalls...
I'm happy to make these for any bike but will need some dimensions given as I only have the V4 to trial on...!
Prices as follows:
- £8.50 posted for natural finish
- £13.50 posted for powdercoated blackJoePeps Aug 1, 2019 Parts, Accessories & Clothing For Sale Read More Views: 6,048 Likes: 11 Replies: 53 -
Massimo Tamburini's 916 At The Ducati Museum
Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 1 August 2019 – As part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the Ducati 916's production launch Ducati Museum now features a new, incredible piece of its history: Massimo Tamburini's 916. An authentic masterpiece “owned” by the legendary designer.
This exhibition, made possible by the precious collaboration of the Ducati Museum with Simona Tamburini, Massimo’s daughter and the owner of the motorcycle, allows to reveal some secrets behind a legendary bike. The 916 on display is one of the three prototypes from which Tamburini developed the bike until its industrialisation in 1994.
Massimo Tamburini, who had already developed the Paso 750 for Ducati, with the 916 developed a bike that was a real revolution in the motorcycle world. The 916's aerodynamics and chassis were developed exclusively on the roads of Rimini and at the Misano and Mugello circuits. For six, long years Tamburini meticulously studied every detail, without ever using... -

For Sale 748r 02 (2001)
I’ve advertised my 748R 02 on Autotrader (at https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201907029651090) but I’m not sure it’s the right place to attract potential buyers so thought I’d try posting it here.
Here are the details from my ad…

First Ducati: V4s Corse
Hello.
Have been on sportbikes almost 20years, last one a 2008 R1. But decided when I first saw the V4 that I was getting one eventually. I was convinced to get the shiny red up until I walked into the dealer and saw them side by side. It took about 3seconds and I changed my mind and got the corse instead. Hoping to get decent weather for this week so I get the break in out of the way. -

1260 Up Map
Fitted Termngoni a couple of weeks ago and had upmap installed today by dealer. My God what an improvement, The bike is so smooth low down but open it up and it wants to rip your arms out. Currently running with no baffle as I don't think it's too loud and the bang on upshift is contagious..Maximum Grin factor -

my best beloved spotted this at a local “antique” fair. We very rarely go to such, but she was waiting for me in Cardio Rehab and had time to spare. -
50 Yrs Ago Today Man Set Off To Land On The Moon Together With Blue Peter, Well Kind Of...
I remember this day 50 yrs ago today like it was yesterday, sitting in front of our first ever TV and watching B&W grainy pics of the Apollo space craft lifting off on its mission to the moon..
Blue Peter made a model of the rocket ship from fairy liquid bottles and I was desperate for my Mum to finish using hers so I could make one too..
The spacecraft would disappear round the back of earth for about 45 mins out of range of radio contact etc and I sat there desperately waiting to hear the radio crackle back into life again.. WOW! X -
Panigale V4 25°anniversario 916: The Ducati Tribute To The Bike That Changed Superbike History
Ducati presents a special limited-edition bike - just 500 will be built - that is destined for nothing less that cult status
Special anniversary proceedings headed by none other than "King" Carl Fogarty himself during SBK race weekend in the USA

Trail Braking, Safety Benefits Of (and I'm A Believer)
Today I was riding my usual route into town when I had a road to Damascus (well, road to Muswell Hill) style conversion.
I was pressing on enthusiastically towards a lovely right hand sweeper which has a side road off it, on the outside, more or less opposite the apex, the bike (M796) was on its ear when some bellend in an Audi (naturally) suddenly decided to turn right, into the side road, in front of me.....
I learned to trail brake on a track day a few years back and had carried it over to the road, not so much because it made me faster or safer, but simply because it suited the way I ride and also seemed to avoid what had been a problem for me in the past, namely running wide mid-corner and getting target fixated onto the outside of bends (which come to think of it, is a safety issue). Despite this, I had always been a bit skeptical of the safety claims for trail braking, probably because it went against the "no front brake in corners" orthodoxy.
Well, today, it saved... -
749 Finaly Road Legal After 5 Years In Bits!
Hi all, its been a while but i've finally managed to find the time and money to sort out my beloved 749. She has just passed a MOT and is now taxed and insured for the first time in 5 years. I just need to order the side fairings and get them painted, then she will be back to turning heads on the roads.

Repairing Cracked Off Fins
Air cooled engines, especially older ones, often suffer from fins cracked off the heads and barrels - maybe from crash damage, maybe from ham-fisted mechanicing. Repairing them is not easy, but highly desirable.
Today I collected a Moto Guzzi Le Mans head which had the fins welded up yesterday. The job has been done rapidly, efficiently, and as far as I can see effectively.
