New member from Surbiton/Kingston Hi everyone, I've recently acquired my first Ducati.... a 1199 Panigale. I've been riding for 15+ years, but it's a big step up for me as the majority of my riding experience is around the 600cc bracket. Bit of a dream come true to own a Ducati. I remember in my early 20's going out on breakfast runs and seeing the odd guy pull in on a 916 and thinking "wow, one day..." I plan to do a couple of track days a year and of course some weekend riding as well. I've a long learning curve ahead of me :) Keen to say hi to anyone in the Surbiton/Kingston area whose interested in heading out for the occasional run on a Sat or Sun morning and/or join me at the track sometime. Ian |
Welcome :D , as I live Ooop Norf., I will leave you in the hands of Ant and the suvners :lol: Chris :burn: |
We have a trackday coming up at Brands in August if you're interested - see this link: http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...d.php?t=202777 |
Hi... super keen to get there, need to see if I can escape from work. Is it necessary to pre-register or can I just arrive on the day? Ian |
Welcome Ian, crackin forum name, I love it :D Awesome choice of bike, i dare not even test ride a Panigale as i know kidneys would get sold off! Have fun on the trackday.... You know your bike wants to do it. Cheers, Frank |
Hi Frank, Interesting story.... I've used 944 as part of my handle online for well over a decade now.... but not because of Ducati.... The first car I bought for myself was an old red Porsche 944.... which I loved dearly, but nevertheless caned at the Porsche club time trial events back in South Africa. I sold the car years ago, but kept the handle. Good times. Ian |
Morning Ian, Thanks for the reply - I did toy with a private plate (once only) to match the cc's of my Ducati and realised the ultra inflated cost were due to Porsche :lol: Glad to have just installed your super-shiney DSC logo! Well done on joining the clan. |

You would be better off booking up to guarantee a slot if you want to ride. The problem is that you would need to attend the briefing for all riders, go through sign-on, etc. If you just want to come and have a look and say hello then feel free to turn up when you want as it's free to get in! |
