I do remember the first few months of ownership of my 748 were not the easiest.

Older Ducatis really need a thorough service by someone who knows all their foibles before they become properly reliable.
Yes Duke, a phone call to Louigi moto in the morning, I'm going to let him give it the once over, doing some research he is very highly regarded for all things Ducati, I know that anyway by people who know him in the Bristol area anyway, and I know where is as that's where CJS are who flashed the ECU on the Panigale.

Yeah Dave, only the third time I've ridden it and one of them was to pick it up :D
Still a lovely bike to ride and once this is sorted it'll be fine. :S :D

Had a full On day of riding, hit Newlands Cormer first thing to catch up with a mate for a becon butty and chin wag, then all the HD posse turned up, parked their bikes anywhere blocking everyone in,,,, bloody numpties, they should have a parking master as well as a "road master" - with his high viz on! (swear) (facepalm)
So from there headed down to Boxhill for a look around, not been there for a while, soMe odd ball machines kicking about.

Then headed back towards home, was trying to contact Mick, but obviously we no what happens there :(
Anyway then headed up towards Wantage, for the Wantage to Hungerford blast.... Epic run that was ha ha, then headed off to Lambourn and some roads I have never ridden before, just seeing what was about for future ride outs.

Found my way to Marlborough, so there is a new route for future as it was a bit fun ;) tracked around the high street , just in case Mick was there sunning himself outside a cafe.

Then rode back to via various B roads to the Wantage run again before a nice chill at Courthills before heading back, ah yeah and blew away one of them Atoms who thought he was in a race, but he wasn't ha ha.

There was some seriously crap riders out today, it was embarrassing to be a biker!

Fell in love again (h)

Boy can that SP2 go round corners. It should be classified as a train rather than a motorcycle. It's like she is on rails 8)

A very misty ride into work this morning. I hate it when it's like that as it sticks to your visor, at least rain collects and runs off.

I don't see you getting bored with it Blade, ever. And it's just going to get more and more classic as it gets older.
