YAY !!!!! At last i have a bike again !
Been searching on ebay for bikes for a long time,but last night i took the plunge !
Texted lozzypop and she came up to give me my first pillion ride !
I've never been on the back of a bike before, but she was brilliant !
Roundabouts near abergavenny was covered in diesel...grrr !
Got to monmouth at about 7:20 ish....saw the bike, 5 min convo with the insurance company and then im hobbling home on my new baby !
Ducati 916 bip




Cracking if not nervous ride home,stopped off in the services on the way back just to chill for 5mins...
We got back to merthyr at 9:30pmish, so riding a new bike in the dark,diesel on roundabouts kinda made it more fun !
Plus the fact that i could not put this poxy side stand down tidy, due to the flip up thing.. looking to alter/change it now as we speak !
So cue lozzy helping me put the stand down ! lol !
Got a few little jobs to do... hey its a ducati... lol !
Front brake switch not working tidy,sidestand thingy,fuel sender/light and some odds and sods...
Going back up to monmouth on the weekend in the car to pick up all the spares..fairings,exhaust,etc...
The bodywork is a bit tired due to the age,but till i see the new fairings and get them resprayed,i'll have a better idea what to do...
BTW... i drinks petrol ! lol !!!!
First impressions..... FOOK ME !!!! its sounds brilliant ! Goes like stink !!!! Much better so far then the gsxr was !
