Was very nice bike. How freaky was that, being in the factory where that very bike was! :o

Well, was good to see you nearly 100% well mate, and buzzing with ya new toy. Test ride.... wheel spin from drive and a few mingers pulled.

Anyone else in the club got a 999R Fila??

Here's Dave tarting the Fila up....

Enjoy.

Looks real cool - i do not normaly like race reps but the Fila version suits the shape of the bike imo.
I hope you get some use before the crappy weather arrives.
Enjoy.

Will be sorted tomorrow,weather permitting ! What a laugh ! Just measured them and they are 1.5" on one side and 1" on the other ! I'll have 'em back to 1mm each side if the roads are warm enough ! ;)

[dave w]

Joking aside, I must say that considering that this bike is only 2.5 months old ( registered on July 20th ) it is absolutely hanging !! It is so filthy it is untrue.

The previous keeper seems to have just ridden it and never bothered to clean it or even check to see if anything has worked loose ( like the rocker box cover bolts that are weeping oil ) The chain is thick with gunk and grit and there is more gravel caught up on the suspension than the local quarry ! ( exaggeration )

How Mr previous keeper could own this bike and not look after it is beyond me... obviously has got too much money !

Give me time and it will be just as spanky as my old 999 and you would be able to eat your dinner off it !!!

Last job before bedtime is to put my dark screenon and remove the pins in the clip-on's that locate the levers and then set them all up !

I am one happy little bunny !:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[deej]

looks good, very good, you lucky thing

i too have the first fila rep and about 15 other minichamps ducatis, just wish i could turn 1 of them into reality

[rcgbob44]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very nice.......................even though its a 999!

[KeefyB]

Dave,you can go right off some people,you know!;)
Nice one.:D

[Mark]

Guess what Dave was doing at 11:30 last night?

Have a look at the attachment to see :lol:

[dave w]

Yeah. and I was still there at 2am this morning......

and I still have more to do !

So much for taking it easy post my stay in hospital !

[Mark]

Don't over do it tho mate.

So, what have you done so far?

[dave w]

are you ready for this...


after finding that the whole headlamp assembly needed tightening and that there is quite a major water leak from a hose and that I need a one way breather valve o ring :( she seems to be coming together quite nicely.

It is mostly done cosmetic wise, just needs some Dave tlc on the mechanical side ! Oh and some decent weather to actually get to have a play on it !

[desmojen]

Next to the telly......top positioning fella!!
Shes a real beauty :smug:
