  1. Hi All, having just acquired a 900ss and knowing very little about them, I thought I'd join up and hopefully make a contribution to the goings on around here.

    Ducati's in the stable are - Scramber FT, 748BP (1997) an now this 900ss 1994 with some trick bits and a MHR paint scheme.
    None ducati's are - BMW 1200GS, Z650 (1977) and a 1983 VF400 lurking somewhere in the back of a friends garage

    I've been riding bikes for almost 40yrs now. Done the Jap thing initially and then moved over to the dark side and rode 1200GS for a few years (I still have one ...ssshhh..but it's rarely out). Bought my first Ducati, a 748, new in 1997. Due to a sports injury I didn't keep it long

    The Scrambler FT is the most fun I've ever had on a bike. Have done the Italian, Swiss & French Alps twice on its and boy it was fun. Its nearly always the bike i wanna ride most

    The 748, bought only a few months ago, is to make up for having to sell my first one. I intend to put back to original.

    The 900ss is just gorgeous, so decided feck it, just buy it. I've never ridden one.

    So happy to be on board on this forum and hopefully good things ahead.

    Cheers

  10. I have one.. it's carbon... shame its in in two bits in my garden...
    That said, it' a whole lot easier to clean the front wheel without it. And my bike has super powers now...
