Sorry I could not make the gathering – Burglar Bill visited on Friday night and broken into all the barns. Bizarrely he and his merry friends took nothing, I can understand him leaving the Steam Roller, as that would be a monumental blag, but all laid out for the taking were tools, grinders, a half decent lawn mower, jerry can full of petrol/2 dukes etc.

So I spent the weekend moving and securing stuff.

Any pictures available? How did it go?

Unless Franks got a time machine he won't know till next weekend...

Oh kock. I had it marked up as last weekend. Out this weekend too... Visiting SS Great Britain and some pubs.

If distance is a problem I can get cheap rates at the Marriott just off M1 J28. £44 for a deluxe room.

Nelly - have you got access to any SS/SL parts or know where to get some? I know people who are coming and not coming who need parts.

Can you actually still get original fairing/seat parts from Ducati for say MkI 1992 Superlight etc?

Ziggi, parts are still generally available for chassis and engine. Some of the bodywork is getting quite difficult to get a hold of now, or more like the deliveries are taking time.
Best bet is to get a list of specific items together and go from there. I can first find out if it's still available and costs then check availability from the factory.

Great - i'll bring a list with me.

Just cleaned off all the dead flies from the front of the SL and given it a clean.
Any ideas on how many plan to attend ????

Not a massive amount but enough to make it ok I think.

Thats O.K then, you must owe me a drink or two anyway Ziggi for pointing you in the direction of that SL of yours LOL
