E mailed to webteam;


Hello there;

I'm doing a feature for MCN in the Old vs New series, which looks at the 1989-2002 900SS and 2003 onwards 1000SS/DS models - I wanted to talk with a couple of owners, plus get a `mug shot' type of pic from them too. Opinions on their bikes, reliability, servicing costs, performance, any accessories fitted, tours, trackdays etc - that's the kind of thing MCN want from Duke owners.

If anyone can help me out I need to wrap it up by next Monday 18th April - apologies for the short notice, but MCN only asked to do the feature a couple of days ago..

Email me, or call me on 077 39 466 569 and I will call back to anyone's landline, or mobile.

or here (AlastairWalker@carolenash.com)
all the best

Hi Alastair, Ive got a 1000SS DS bought from new later '03. Would be happy to help you out and you can call me anytime on 07710 704478. I think the 1000 is a great bike and represents superb value for money but never seems to get any spotlight. Ive fitted after market cans which are awesome, have done a trackday and some touring on it (I also have a two week trip through the med next month on it). Anyway as I say give us a call if you want to talk further etc.

I've ran a 95 900ss for the last 5 years but I've just changed it for an ST4s so no idea about the 100DS.

Journalist has been in touch with me and done an interview etc for this article gave the club a damn good plug and he said he would ensure we got a mention this time! Article will be in MCN this week complete with my mugshot! Aagh, fame at last :P:devil:
