Perhaps you should try a drop Simon, he is always in front of you.

that's where i've been going wrong .. i'm always better at stuff when i'm drunk

i too am very new to Ducati's i should be ok with taking bits of and putting most of them back:lol: , although the internals of them there engines and what bits of other dukes fit where is a minefield at the moment.

for example what are the best wheels to have? as i am going to get a spare set to save hassle when changing tyres , i used to help my mate when he raced and we were always waiting on the tyre fitters, panicing we would not be ready when his race was called.

Every other time yes.

I did change a sprocket once. Just before I crashed at Cadwell.

Maybe thats where I went wrong??

I might this year. But just a half!

A set every other meeting, same tyres in wet, shouldn't take too much organising :rolleyes:

Good for you Trumpet, for having a go!

Thanks for all good will.
 

To me, motorcycle mechanics is a bit like alchemy! My problem is not really the detail like torque settings, tensions, flow rates etc. I still can't get past the fact that the bike is basically made from stuff dug out of the ground, and is filled up with other stuff from the ground, it sticks to the ground with stuff bled from tree and falls over it's when not moving......what's not to understand!
Anyway whatever I am looking forward to it!

Are you referring to underpants?

2 sets of tyres lasted me all season, a 4 day shredding exercise in Spain and still got half my money back off them!
