i got a winter "hack"
i use my 999 on good days all through winter
i keep on top of washing it and use that scottoiler 365 stuff (got a good mcn write up)
its a kind of protective spray .....

my last couple of ducatis have never let me down (i've let them down mind) touch wood

i feel as confident with the reliability of my bike as i would with any rice burner or even bmw come to that (still touching)

by the very nature of this website we only hear of the "away from the norm" stories and not the great satisfaction and enjoyment that we get.


you would certainly turn my head and make my day if you were to ride by, along with a lot of other people

umm ok i will elaborate slightly
ran a nackered monster 600 over a winter and used a crap product admittedly called winter wax which you couldnt actually use anywhgere that mattereed
just ended up fured like an arse , and a fury arse at that
umm break calipers come service needed the bolts cut to split em
and starter motor bolt the end just sheared off when itryed to remove it

ok it was neglected but even so such a shiney bike as a winter ride you must be loaded, thoguh it is hard to resist
