Re: Ducati 899 panigale
... The brakes are the best I've ever tried on a bike. I found the brembos on the 675R very powerful but a little grabby when first applied. The 899's were perfect. Very powerful but not snatchy at all, just got stronger the harder you pulled. And now the engine. What an engine! Not intimidating at ...

Re: Custom leathers
the only leathers i could get to fit were BKS and they arent perfectrocket wrote:That's why I punted for it kwacky is worth a bit of a risk at that money .
With regards to off the Peg I don't think they have ever fitted snug either to big or to tight and it's always a compromise for me. I must be odly shaped

Re: Custom leathers
My mistake was not taking a picture at the final fitting to make sure the last seaming was going to be OK, then I could've had before and after.

Re: Is biking in the blood?
... not and don't have much of an interest in them (my brother has said he quite likes Harleys, so no, he has no interest at all). Also my mum and dad were absolutely dead set against them, mum was a nurse and dad a doctor (pathologist to be precise). Don't think any of my cousins ride bikes or have ...

Re: Again...
You and your dad went for a ride recently. Did you go to any popular biker meets? I'm sure these places are watched. My cb1000r went about a week after I went to the Ponderosa. There were a few non-bikers there walking around the car park. It could just be co-incidence.

As above really sorry to hear this. Were there many unusual parts worth watching eBay for? Exhaust, sliders etc. I know it's a long shot but if your exhaust turns up with that baffle in... Gutted for you and your dad mate.
