Hi From Edinburgh

  1. Hi folks, just joined having finally realised a life long dream of getting a Ducati. I've had sports bikes, supermotos and naked street bikes in my youth and after a lay off for a while got back into biking 3 years ago with a Vstrom 650. Finally gave in to my nagging desire and bought a 2012 Multistrada 1200S touring last week. Can't believe how much power this thing has, big grins!

  12. Any town that starts with Newton is usually shite. I served my apprenticeship in a town called Newton Aycliffe. Gotta be the worst town in Britain. I got good at fighting I suppose. Every pub you walked in some wanker wanted a pop.... I think I rolled outa town within 72 hours of finishing my apprenticeship. Needs carpet bombing....

    And welcome by the way :):upyeah:

  19. It started out as Union Carbide electronics division but just before I left was bought out by STC (Standard Telephone and Cables). Christ, that was a while back… :astonished:
