As I said, there's been a lot of time spent on this and I'm usually not precious about things but when I saw this (nearly) finished, it would be really silly to let any road grime and salt get near it. I will ride it but I think that it will be sunny days only bike now which will be a shame. I guess it will see the track on the Monster Mallory track day but I think that will be the nearest it will get to being ridden to anywhere near it's potential.
Show bikes? What is that about then - do they never get ridden and just get polished while waiting for the next show? If I had unlimited funds and a large hallway / lounge in which to keep it as a showpiece then perhaps I would be able to do that but I will be riding the bike although not as often as I would perhaps do if it was still standard. I was toying with the idea of taking it to the Ducati Week next year and entering it for the Monster Challenge though but that's a big 'maybe'. Anybody done that before?

He may do but I don't know of him personally. Give Dave Wood a call and he should be able to sort you out.
Hope this helps
