    If you don't get it back it'll be a huge blow to our plans for Ducati world domination.

    Just went and bought Lou some new boots since her old right one died a noble death, hopefully she'll be up for a ride by wednesday.

    Just don't upset Mrs N. The last person that upset her she booted the front of his van. Nearly wrote the van off. Tough lady that one!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope to see you both on Wednesday. Look after yourselves. Keep us posted on Lou's health!!!!!!!
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

    Very sorry to hear about your Duke Helen. I hope they are able to restore her for you.

    A short ride for the first week?
    Cranford st Right into Innes Rd,
    Left into Philpots to Queens park Drive,
    East on Queens Park then left into Hills road,
    Follow to the end off Hills road then right into Prestons road
    Gather at the Marshand Primary School just before Marshlands Rd.
    North down Marslands Rd to Lowerstyx Rd
    Right into Lowerstyx Rd, and follow to Brooklands ,
    Left into Kaianga road,
    Pootle on through Stewarts Gully to The Old Main north road At Bridgehead,
    Stop at the Macs pub for a chat etc.
    A nice short road trip with plenty of twisties, plenty of interesting lines, bumps, blind corners, stops turns, good skill learning trip for all.
    Sort of like the sumit road but with no hills.
    The only failing point would be the road condition out at brookland from the uake, anyone have first hand information?
    Really good for learners, not fast for the Rossies, and short enough to allow for the early sunset with only a short hop back to town afterwards.

    Surely that wouldn't be enough to write it off??? What do they make them from? Papier Mache?

    Sorry to hear the news HOT, not nice! Hope it's ok.

    oop, while I remember, I just realised it's time for a WOF again!

    Where would you guys recommend for a cheap quick WOF in the CBD? (I work at the Hospital so near-by would be good).

    Thanks for that. Nice lots of detail. Will put it in the mix for later.

    Looking forward to getting back into looooonnggg evenings and warm weather!
    Cheers,
