Like you have the option of putting a nose fairing on a 696!

In the 90's, maybe. Although I have used all four of my Ducati's all year round with no problems (apart from minor carb icing on the M600) They are much more reliable and more in line with Japanese bikes to run from new! I would have the 696 as a first bike. In fact I did get it's predecessor as a first bike, an M600 and it was great!

Always a shame when these talented guys meet their untimely end. R.I.P Henry

Well done and good luck with the rest!

Bugger, I was planning on popping down there maybe 7-8ish tonight, but I'm sure you'll be gone by then!

Dagnammit! I've got a bloody christening to go to!

Well done! I know nowt about this new fangled test! Does that mean you're good to go??

Which part?

I may be able to do this now! I've posted on the relevant link. Just waiting for confirmation from her indoors!

Lucky sod! Have a great time. Wish I was going!

Thats good. I'm not working, I'll have to check the kids social calender though!

When is this Korben? I can hopefully meet you at Leicester if (I'm not at work or busy taking the kids to football/ballet/beavers/rainbows/swimming etc etc etc! ) I need to get some more riding done this year!

LOL (I forgot to mention I have a Volvo as well! - it's a V70R though, so it's not too shoddy! )

It does struggle a bit!

Just a bit!

Standard fit I'm afraid!

Cheers bloke! It goes like a fooking rocket! (399.9bhp at the last count! ) It has a better air filter now as well!

Here is my other baby! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/c0ss1e9i6/DSCF2368.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/c0ss1e9i6/DSCF2372.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/c0ss1e9i6/DSCF2381.jpg

When it's raining or I've got kids/stuff to move around, I drive a 400bhp Ford Escort RS Cosworth (soon to be more! ) and a 'cough' Volvo V70R AWD. Oh and I could weld my Ducati's together, then that would be a four wheeler. (But then it would have too many cylinders! )

3rd time, but I did the first two before they cancelled them for bad weather and managed a 20ft skid in torrential rain on the emergency stop on my first one! On the second one I nearly got hit by a car doing 70-80mph in a built up area and even the examiner was gutted to fail me as I was gingerly pulling out of a junction between parked cars and he appeared round a bend! I wasn't very happy to fail for that! Third one was ace!

£2 on the wife!

ALWAYS, I sometimes wave an arm or leg too!

That'll be us reaping the fruits of our motorcycle youth training scheme then! Britain will produce great riders year on year. When it promotes a healthy pro active, non discriminate, equal terms, approach to bikers in general. (Don't hold your breath people! )

I was there on Sunday in the car 14.2 at 108mph with the a standard gearbox, so I couldn't launch it! I was chuffed! Here is me on the line (right) Weather was great on Sunday!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/c0ss1e9i6/DSCF2526.jpg Next time I'll be on the bike!

I'd imagine they could fixed penalty you still though? Mirrored visors blinding others! LMAO only if someone had a flat head!
