... report that Ducati was on track for strong growth in the USA last year. Ducati now reports that Ducati grew by 14% in the USA for 2015. In Europe though, sales were even stronger, with the Italian market up 53%, the UK up 37%, Germany up 24%, and France up 22%. Italy now accounts for only 12% ...

My wife got into it but I didn't. Even though Ms Berry is in it.

Me too. The last thing I am is an electrician.

Just re-terminated a couple of wires though, tbh. One (a live) had split totally and was touching the frame. Flat battery. Ooops.

Also, must remember to post here more often.

With the relative safety of a sidecar i wonder if he will be tempted to do the TT now! That would draw the crowds.

Maria Costello is only about promoting herself,, still would want to try and catch her on a bike though!

... Think I'll go for the Kerv one though, so I can use it for contactless payments as well.

... not bike manglers if I broke down (and I did) on a bike. In short they seemed better and have since proved themselves so. Check your bank stuff though as you might have some freebies you can top up to sensible cover levels for a knockdown price.

... I don't realise I'm doing it until I get into a town and am forced to slow down. There's a nice pace that I always find when leading newer riders though. I always get feedback along the lines of - "that's faster than I thought I could ride but I felt so safe and the bike did everything for ...

I'll be honest here - I have no idea about him or his music although his name is one I knew of as the greats.

Still sad to hear news of anyone passing away though. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones

... hour and half trying to get over it! You do realise you may never ever get that opportunity again in your whole life. :D I'm preying to God (even though I don't believe in him) that he will allow this situation to rise again...knowing my luck it will be when I'm 80 and my old gear shift won't ...

Tonight had a chicken kebab while watching some telly, watched my family, even though it's years old it still cracks me up. Tomorrow out for an observed ride, maybe changing it to a theory lesson as weather sounds like it will be bad so would prob be nice to have ...

Very cold this morning. There was front on the road. No issues with the Z8s though, I didn't feel any slides or see the TC light come on.

I don't have a paddock stand for the S3 yet so can't remove it. I have to borrow one when free. I need to change the front now though too as that was the third rear (due to punctures too) so may as well get a pair fitted. It doesn't help that due to moving soon and a sprog on the way, ...

You need a Ducati to shake the room though.

it was worse in the car. 2 hours as M6 was shut and everyone used the A5.

I need to get another set of tyres and get back on the bike. Bloody punctures. As being late is getting frowned on. Even though I am normally 30mins early everyday just in case of delays.

... go ride and the fully out and then go ride to see what difference it makes. A lot of standard adjusters are limited in what they actually adjust though unless you have decent quality suspension. Preload adjustment is really to make sure the forks or shock are working fully within the limits of ...

It makes it more rewarding when you get past someone riding one of these electronically-clad bike on a 600 without rider aids though !!!

That's why me chasing down and overtaking the instructor on the 2015 S1000RR is my favourite video I've put on YouTube !!

deutschland 83 I was hoping it would be in English at least in parts, but even the Americans are speaking German. Looks good though. It's about an East German soldier sent over to West Berlin to spy on a West German army officer. When was that on, I wanted to watch that forgot all about ...

I've had a Shark lid in the past and I would have another.

Surprising to see him pick a French brand though

Haven't we all done a few stupid rides though and usually get away with it? Very true Duke63. Please don't misunderstand me; I am undeniably utterly & entirely hypocritical (that applies to a large proportion of my posts, a fact of which ...
