This is the very best place in the country for Ducati tuning, Perkles. So good its hard to get an apppintment but everyone i know says he is second to none. He did the ECU that came with my 853 engine and the JHP mechanic who fitted the engine reckoned it pulled as hard as any 916/748/996 engine he had ever ridden.

Ride it around wales yesterday with Kwacky and his mates
Number plate and indicators fell off and went under the rear wheel so need to fix that
Last hour or so was torture I am getting less inflexible with age 😆
But what a bike I still love it ,limitless grunt and has a silly sound track
Quite tempted to take it on track to really give it some stick, I am probably very over cautious riding on the road

Confidence is a fickle mistress. You weren't slow at all, far from it. You seemed to get faster when you started following Mark.

What made that overtake towards the tractor even more scary was the farmer using his mobile on the road!

At least it's an ideal time of year to sell, so you'd expect to get a good price.

Image shame, but at least a good deal on the finance side.
