Hi all,

Just thought I'd say hello as I've just picked up my new bike and it's my first Ducati.

Can't stop looking at it :)

Great board!

Cheers,

Phil

916's have been real heartbreakers....husbands and boyfriends drooling over them like they never drooled before....sorry ladies!

Could not agree more with you on this one Dibble, shame its red, but then it is a 916 not a 748, welcome aboard Phil.

Indeed it was, good spot!

Looks like I'm going to need a tray for all these drinks :)

Cheers for the welcome.

Phil,

Your new 916 is so immaculate that I immediately recognised it as Walenut's, as some time ago he posted the same picture of it when he'd finished the work on it.

In fact I thought it was so nice that I asked him to let me know if he was ever going to sell it, obviously he forgot (or more likely I failed to make any impression on him).

Still, my loss is your gain. Enjoy it.

p.s. let me know if you're ever selling it !

It was more of a private PX deal, right time, right place etc. which is probably why he didn't speak to you first.

I finally managed to prise the keys out of his hands last night along with a big wad of cash :burn:

By the time we got back onto the M25 last night I figured we were safe from him changing his mind.

I've got boxes and boxes of bits as well!

Prepare to spend a lot of time glancing back over your shoulder when you get of it (and for onlookers to do the same).

Great looking Duke. Welcome to the club!

That's one fine example of a piece of motorcycling history.

Beautiful, original, showroom condition (think I just come).

Watch the stone chips, they'll break your heart !

Ha ha, you prefer the challenging looks then :lol:

Seriously though, they are growing on me but the 916 SP 'look' is sex on wheels!

I'd have a 999 as well though.

Cheers!

That was the hard part, now the nice easy part is to contact lizzie and give her some money and join the club for real!
