Darmah - Otago or Canterbury

[idb]

Plus I just love the noise of a slow idling beveldrive Ducati with good pipes

A bevel isn't complete until it has Contis fitted.

Thanks for that Orangeback, I'll probably be in Christchurch in the next couple of weeks so I'll give you a yell.

BTW, nice Katana. I had one in 1981.

Also, I know it will probably be an expensive, heartbreaking pain-in-the-ass to own but I'll kid myself that I'll enjoy it ;-)

Then again, I rode a CB1300 the other day and it was very smooth, comfortable, fast and even handled pretty well. Hmmmm

Hey Dude

I'm in Chch too.

Give us a shout if you want a couple of beers and a slightly different view (900 MHR)

Great spotting Stan!
He got the parts last week but the decals yesterday.

I should have everything else together by the time he's finished with those.

He has to finish my RGV stuff first

A mate of mine used to have a 750GT with long Dunstall pipes and it had a sound all its own. I know its sacrilege but I thought it sounded better than Conti equipped dukes.

of course the answer if it shits itself is>...................


the Vincati!

use your frame and running gear, and buy one of those repro Vincent V twin motors ex Aus . sex on wheels.

(there was one in a recent cycle world linkage

Conti's are around $1300 a pair.

Speaking of Beveldrives,this should be on its way and was somewhat of a bargain.
The seller has two more up for auction..fwiw

I got my SD when i was 23 years old and will never sell it...
I wouldn't discount the SV1000 as far as cost goes,they would be around the same as a good SD.

SV SD

I had this dilema upon returning to scooters, my head said .....japanese....I followed my ( substantial) gut feeling, I cannot imagine selling the Duck, the Mrs commented .."you're never going to sell that though are you" when discussing touring bike options a while ago, I have never said so but after 20...mumble years she must know me better than me ???? uh did that make sense.

Fuck, the technical arguments, well.....you can either keep one running ( and you will know if you can) or pay, part of the appeal for me is the constant caring and fettling these bikes need

I am hooked.......or worse

If you dont ride them they dont break

That's part of the fun for me too.

As we seem to have a collection of Darmah owners here can anyone tell me of a luggage rack arrangement for one?

I'm getting mine re-painted and I would rather not strap stuff onto the tailpiece.

hey thanks for posting that link to the dynatek guy: I have been thinking of an E I for my 400F... he might be able to put me onto the guy....

and obviously no one wants a Vincent....
