Is that a passenger peg I can see
Nice bike for its day

I was thinking it looked like a period piece. You know the kind of thing, "If you could have just one picture symbolising the European sports motorcycle of the early nineties, what would it be?"
Nice pic, Keefy.

Cheers folks,.....yep that is a pillion peg you can see.The bike is bog stock.All I did was unbolt the no.plate,indicators and mirrors,...tape up the lights and go racing.:)

Dug out a piccie of my first......

500 Pantah (well that's what it started life as), ex racer built and ridden by Paul Klatkiewicz. Light as a 250 with about 60ish bhp. Returned back to road trim (ish) by me.
Great bike, stunnin prep' by Paul, amazing sounds and char'd knees when the 40mm Dellortos spat back :)

That was my first duke too!

My first was my 900SS in 1996, followed by a new 996 in 1998, the ST4S (new) in 2001, and the 1000SS (Sparky) in 2006, oh and the 450RT in 2008-still got the last 3.

Mine was a 916. I had no interest in bikes at all, and when the old man came home with his first Ducati I fell in love with it. Foolishly he said that if I passed my bike test I could have it. So I did a quicky 4 day course and went home with a full bike licence to make my announcement. And won a brand new Dave916. He was as pleased as punch. Very generous! I couldn;t quite believe my luck going for my first road ride on a superbike! Lucky me!

Started with a '93 900SS in 1994, black wheels gold frame. Never liked the earlier white frame n white wheels models, rather be riding than cleanin' and polishin'.
Still got 2nd one, a '94 900SS and fourth one '98 916SPS, never had the bottle to race or ride a trackday, but clocked over 125,000 Ducati miles now.

Good Man SteveB, get yourself to the DSC trackday at Cadwell - you really will love it and are guaranteed good treatment on & off the track during the members only day.

Here is my first that I have sweated, bled and yes, cried over....

When I found the frame was cracked......it still is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





But I'll never sell her :)

Frank, that is a beaut! 944cc....that is the same as the ST2, right? Is that how it came about?
