Featured Finally Bought My First Ducati

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by NotoriousREV, Jun 19, 2024.

  1. IMG_2707.jpeg I’ve wanted a 900SS since I was 16 (when the first came out), when I thought they were the most beautiful bike ever made. I think they’re still up there.

    So far, I’ve had a bit of a mixed intro to Ducati ownership. I rode it home 100 miles quite happily after I bought it, and a few days later I had an amazing run out to north Wales for a few hours. 10 minutes from home, the throttle cable snapped. I’ve replaced the throttle open cable but the throttle close cable is a bit heavy so I have one of those on order now and hopefully I should be back up and running by the weekend.

    My daily ride is a KTM Superduke GT so the Supersport is purely for showing off on the finest days.
