More sex on wheels

....AND?????????

........just a few more tweaks and he's all go, waiting on new fork internals so we just had the forks dummied to get the bike together (crap .....no wheelies), but the parts have arrived so the awsome guys froml Ohlins are getting them together and back to me next week
The Termi system sounds fantastic, so forks and paint and roll on the test day on the 21st so I can go play

Well done and enjoy

Dealer said 748R. I suspect it's a 748S that's had the 5 spokers and tergi pipes fitted.

and check the conrods are for the R model.To be sure to be sureNice bike

[surfchick]

I wouldn't grumble mate - s'gotta be quicker than mine!

So another Scotsman on an Italian bike living in New Zealand. I'm not as unique as I thought

you are very unique

OMG that 748 is a beautiful thing - enjoy - i kind of almost bought one..still think i'd like one actually. i must say yours is crawling with carbon wihooo they corner so gooood these ducatis

so far mine has no issues..but then again I havent' done a big serviece yet so uh oh... how many km's has she got?

[bane]

nice company vehicle (cough)
by the time you get the gst and depreciation back, it'll be the best Ducati bargain ever!

looks awesome, expect a .wav/mp3 file to be loaded soon, although as I live only 25km from you, perhaps I should just stand outside my place while you warm it up

First time I rode a Ducati I had to carry a shotgun to keep the girlies in Mt Eden away (true story... kinda).

Arrrgh, the 1,000,000 dollar question. Decided to ride it on road for a month or two to get used to it first. It's far too nice for balls out racing and I'd be guttered if I dropped it....at least untill some of the bank loan is paid off.
Will wait until I get cheap (er) aftermarket plastics (from gawd knows where) and fuel tank before pootling around on the track. Should still beat Flame though, she's just on a more expensive mobile chicane as far as I'm concerned :-)

I know it's only Clubmans B but I want to try and win it on my clapped out cbr before getting some mid-pack (hopefully) experience in f3. 748 might make an appearance at PMCC in Clubmans A. F2 is too scary and I doubt I'd even qualify.

[Toast]

Fair enough dude. I'd definitely take those mint fairings off before taking it on the track.

Were it me I'd also maybe get some cheap cans made up. The thought of those sexy Termi's cracking as they hit the deck is too much to bare.

[scracha]

Ho ho. Pished rain all week and been flat out with work. woke up this morning, did 1 job and then as it was so nice and sunny I told my boss (moi) that I'm throwing a sickie and spent all day out on the bike. Fark me I've been overriding that old VFR750. You know a bike's good when you're just cruising round a corner, look down at the speedo and realise you're going much faster without trying. Haven't fell in love with the Ducati engine yet though .....!

[bimotabob]

Very Very Nice.
Massimo's design is second to none.
Some bikes look just cool but this is a work of art.

But are you ready for the Stone chip onslaught?

All good
