Hi,

I have created an entry on our club calender for this event here

I have also posted on the events on the ducati.com sites for this, I’m just waiting for approval. I thought this would be a good exposure for the club. Once Ducati have approved this, I’ll link it to this thread.

How many people are now going? :)

Oh, and please can someone submit some 888/851 and SS pics, I need a better resolution then the one I have used (Rob B's avatar!).

Hi Everyone,
I had planned to come to the t8 meet.
But last night a fellow member of the other club, posted on the e-mail list spare tickets and a berth in his time share for the 'TT'. Sailing out on the 2am boat on sat 2nd returning on sat 9th.
Perfect dates and all at face value....Top man as he could have got a small fortune on e-bay.
So i'm going to miss the t8 meet which is a shame as i was looking forward to meeting up with you all in person and seeing all those great bikes....and showing of mine to be honest.
I used to be a 'TT regular attending more than 10 times but haven't been since the late 80s, what with it being the 100th' and being fully booked since last year i'm chuffed to be going.
I hope i can meet up with 851neil on the Island. Seeing his great bike would go some way towards making up for missing all of your bikes.
Trouble is i can't decide which of my big Dukes to take, i'm sure people here will say take the 851.
But i've already had some e-mails saying to take 'Beverley' my "78 900ss based special.

Steve

I´m jealous as F... I registered myself for race training in Poland last year and can´t back out now otherwise I would have made the effort and come to UK for the meet. I can´t wait to see the pictures and wish you all a super time and good weather.

Regards

a Very frustrated Steve

Thanks Rob.

As it's just one big T8 lovefest in here here's some pictures of the last 888 mini-meet at Popham http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fiscusf...ham/index.html

Won't be able to come this time though as the South of France beckons...

Picture Flanks.

I like the zorst John.

One of mine

If you had taken that picture a minute or a day later.... ;)

Have you got a bigger version of that picture mate?

I havent mate - got some good ones of falappa and toseland sat on it though outside ducatis WSB hosiptaility if you want me to e-mail 'em (let me know tonight coz im away on business from tommorrow until wednesday)

Cheers
Nat

Please mate, mark.traves@ntlworld.com

Don't worry about Toseland, some how I don't think Ducati would like that picture on their site, or allow it!!

cheers.

The event is now on the Ducati Club Section.

http://www.ducati.com/ducatiworld/cl...l.jsp?id=17201

Would like to make it too, weather permitting of course,
Phil 900 SL III, or YB11 if the Girlfriend decides to come! (it's still italian so guess it still counts!)

one more for the pot..!

Hope to be there
 

Hiya,
I hope to be there - enjoyed last year. Have mentioned it to a couple of 851 owners too trying to swell the ranks yet further.
Unfortunately BFM in Shipley decided to fail the discs at the MOT for being too loose :mad: . Despite repeating discussions with various people at Stafford Show who insisted that they shouldn't fail, I couldn't persuade BFM to change their opinion.
So, not having £520 spare notes I bought EBC ones instead and now John is struggling to fit them because they don't seem right for the bike - something about getting in the way of the Speedo cable.
So, if I can get this fiasco sorted out I will be joining you - if not, I think it would be just too sad to turn up on my GPZ500
If anyone has any experience/tips about fitting EBC's to a Superlight I would be really grateful to hear from you.
Judi

I'd like to go but Luthor needs Tax and an MOT so...watch this space :)

Judi...Hope you can go. Someone was havin the same problem on here not so long back...it was to do with fully floating though...again too much play!!!! (?)

you are not alone with this problem, many off us have suffered with it, I renewed the bobbins even though i didnt need to and went to another mot station that knew what they were doing, problem solved.
it's not just SL owners that are afflicted by this problem, it affects any duke fitted with the cast iron 10 bobbin full floating disk. SL's SP SPS's etc. if it full floats its going to shake rattle & roll.
it pays to be persistant with the mot's. providing the disk your going to retro fit are the same size and offset, and thickness , you should.nt have any probs fitting them.

rob

Yippee - good vibes at last that I might be able to make the 9th @ JHP :D


Can anyone post this event up on the DOC site at all please ???

Looking at the first post, is 9th June still the date?

If so, although my social calendar is usually fairly thin :rolleyes:, I am double-booked that day.

Does anyone know what time kick-off is on the 9th - I'm guessing most would aim to arive around 10am, or maybe 11am...?

James.

Frank,

When I kicked this off I posted it to the DSC, DoC, Ducati 851/888 board and Ducatisti.

It's a sticky or in their events lists.

Regards,

Rob

James,

I would think that the earliest people will get there is 10am. Stay as long as you like, with in reason.

Rgds,

Rob

I reckon 11am'll do it for me..! :roll:

OK, I've just been confirming details with John Hackett and we're all set. Apart from all our loverly 851, 888 and SSs, there's going to be some other really nice eye candy there. You'll have to be there before they disappear later in the afternoon.

More on the final details when I get back from my France trip.

Regards,

Rob

You shouldn't have been bothering John this afternoon Rob-you'll have been stopping him working on the Twinspark...........

John

It looks like there'll be plenty to drool over at JHP. A Super Mono, one of Capirossi's GP bikes, A Marco Lucchinelli race bike and a display version of the Desmosedici GP engine.

Please be aware that these will be packed up in the afternoon as they need to be transported to anther show. Arrive before lunch to admire.

Many thanks to John for laying this on and letting us use the facilities.

Regards,

Rob

Will try and make this I reckon, the SS is at Oulton on the 8th and Cadwell on the 11th so I'm sure it won't mind a trip out on the road on the 9th too ;)

I would love to come guys but on the 8th I'm flying to Barcelona....

Yeap! You guessed it!! It's MotoGP weekend (and I have some paddock passes too :rolleyes::D).


I'll join you @ the next one... :biaggi::biaggi:

If foreign 888 are welcome, I will be there due to weather :)
