I often ask mechanics and other 'knowledgable' folk what REALLY happens if you dont service the Ducati at the intervals they reccomend. So the ST4 was just shy her next valve service, but was running pretty horrid, just felt gutless, sounded rattly (more so than usual) and seemed to be using oil faster than I would have expected for a healthy motor. Biting the bullet (and extending the overdraft) I booked her in for the BIG one, and lo and behold got informed my valves were ...

There is an old saying that dog owners often grow to look like their pets. A quick search on google reveals hundreds of ‘look-alike’ images to this effect. So my question is this: Do motorcycle riders come to resemble their machines? Of course people generally choose to ride bikes that match their purpose, and this purpose is linked to their individual tastes and needs. Hence taking a raggedy slip of a student on a GN250 and plonking them on Harley Fatboy is unlikely to inspire them ...
Yes, this project is still on the go. I've sent the parts to Pete Sales for assembly (he's somewhat better at it that me - bit more experience too ) I'm still looking for ZXR250A fairings for the thing.
