[Zimbo]

I ordered some stuff from Pro Twins in Surrey about 2 months ago and I'm still waiting for some of the parts (piston rings & intake valve). Anyone else suffering these ridiculous delays ordering stuff from Ducati over summer?? I hear they all but close up for August but this is getting feckin crazy. I've had my bike on the road for all of 3 weeks since last October and winter is once again approaching...8(

Yep. I've been waiting on some parts for quite a while to. The factory shuts down for August and it seems to knock on for a few weeks before everything gets moving again.

Aside to that, what are the parts for? I have some 900 rings I think??
Mail me if they'd help.

[Zimbo]

Yeah, for a 900 (92). Unfortunately the parts are already paid for. I wish I'd shopped around now to see who had what in stock. That'll teach me ! Thanks anyway.

[nelly]

No worries. If it gets "silly" though, I have 3 sets

Not new zimbo....ive got 2 carbon steering dampers at the moment on order form 5 weeks ago......feckin useless this time of year they are !!

Im sure if you explain your frustration to PVT theyll refund you so you can enjoy a 'nelly special' deal !!!!

Dont you forget to use plenty of WD40 on the old girl over winter mate will you...!

Cheers
Nat

Assuming I don't see the parts this side of March 2005, the old girl won't be requiring any WD40 - she's currently warm, dry and naked in my living room (tank drained and in the cellar mind you). Fortunately, my carpet tax is still valid.
