G'day I know this is a open ended question!!...I'll be Coming over from Australia to the IOM TT and will be in London for 5 days pre race week TT then coming back to Liverpool to then head off for ten days or so touring the UK. My question is what bike related things would people recommended that I should not miss or are worth a visit.. Unfortunately I'll not be on my ST4, I did price bringing it over but soon got turned off that idea. Am now bringing the wife..
The only way I found working for me, was to take off the rear caliper, gave a good cleaning up with brake cleaner, rubbed the pistons gently with steel wool, flushed the line with new fluid and replaced the pads with EBC HH ones. It's not like on Jap bikes, but I can feel it now slowing down.
Ace cafe london national motorcycle museum birmingham sammy millers in hampshire are you hiring a bike while over here if you are there's lots of good roads in wales or scotland you are halfway there off the boat in liverpool regards steve
Cheers Steve.. Not hiring a bike at this stage, money will probably be getting tight after London and the TT... But you just never know what will happen between now and then!!!
Hi Pete where you staying on the island? maybe we could meet up myself Mr R,Pete1950 ,spaggy the longest serving member of the DOCGB are staying in Port Erin there is an italian bike night at port erin station on the wednesday evening of race week and a ducati club meet at the creg on the 2nd sunday tis all a jolly good crack mate Steve
Gday.. Staying in Douglas at the Claremont... Only Getting there on the wed of race week so prob wont make that.. Took a day at the Creg for the senior tt on the Friday and heading back to lpool Sat Arvo.... Hope the Weather Gods are on my side!! thanks for the invite..
So there doesn't sound like there's much bike related places to see?? What about cool Ducati bike shops in London?
Agree with that lot although Ace Cafe is no fun by car or public transport. You are right about the lack of bike related places to visit apart from all our brilliant race tracks but you need to be there for a track day or a race. As far as London Ducati dealers are concerned you have one choice. Metropolis Motorcycles at Vauxhall (easy by train or underground). Be happy to try to meet whilst you are in London.
