hi
I've been reading the forum for a while now and thought it was about time to register. Out of all the Ducati forums out there I've found this the most informative and friendliest (/crawling mode off).
Since I was 18 I've had bikes (45 now :lol: ) starting with a kh400 triple, numerous other kawasakis ending up with a zzr1100. After seeing the 888's racing in world superbike I wanted, but could never afford a Ducati.
Four years ago I got myself a 888 and loved it. Amazing handling, awesome sound, a beautiful bike. I sold it last October and got myself an even more awesome 996R...mmmmmmmm. Unfortunately I've now got carbon fever and have got a "few" extra bits for her :D
I'll post some pics when I take her out in the spring

Let's hope it's the real one and not that pretender to the crown on the Tyne.

Ahh, wrights pies and oatcakes....Drinking in Stones, fighting in the Wine Vaults, back in the day before I moved to the coast, and Staffordshire went Gatso crazy.

and yea I sold my 888 on ebay Natty.....someone from nottingham won the auction and got a great bike at a bargain price. It was a very sad day when he came up to collect it. But needed the money to buy my new one.
