Titanium Welding Skills Required

As to the glasses won't a bit of white electrical tape do the job

If they were broken in the middle then a bit of tape would probably work nicely. But breaking then on the left side near the rim makes the tape thing pretty hard to work, as seen when the left side feel out of the tape in less than 10 seconds.

It was quite funny, I think Celticno6 was in the middle of saying "See these don't break!!" when it snapped.

Lynda: you must be making the marketing team at Bologna HQ very happy!! I shudder to think what you'd do if ever faced with a "real" selection of Ducati goodies.

Hamish very rarely says "no" to anything I suggest, but when I subtly dropped into the conversation about a trip to Italy and the Ducati factory shop, the reaction was a very quick and definite "no"!

I guess I've left myself wide open on this one......

[Motu]

Yeah,kneadit,fixed my reading glasses with that - saved me spending another $9.95 at the wharehouse for some more....uh...not that I need glasses you understand - I put them on and look down my nose at my boys...scares the shit outa them and they do as they're told.

The factory itself doesn't have much apart from a few things in the Muesum. I think in another part of Bologna there is a shop with EVERYTHING !!! The Muesum director was giving me directions on how to get there but we ran out of time, I suppose at the end of the day the shop in the MECCA of all things Ducati it must be amazing.

At least it wasn't anything expensive on your bike Celtic

Mind you, specs are darned expensive too. I have some rimless Jaguars which are hanging on with a wing and prayer cos I shudder to think what an optometrist will charge to fix 'em!

[riffer]

Yeah but if it was my bike it would probably be fixed by now, Blackbird.

But Titanium welding ... on flexible titanium frames? How the hell do you weld FLEXIBLE titanium, especially when its only 1mm thick, if that.

Stuffit, I'm gonna go see hitcher's bro and see 'bout some new ones.

In the mean time, its contacts. Not looking forward to that, I work in a positive-pressure air-conditioned environment controlled environment which dries out my eyes to hell...

Oh well, at least its always 22 degrees at work...
