My new ride
 
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

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.

Whilst you're at the bar.... :lol:

Nice to have all these new people joining the board :)

You've done the right thing!

:D

beancounter 24-May-2005 16:51

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 !

Lust4Life 24-May-2005 20:04

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!

Phil

Lust4Life 24-May-2005 20:07

Have another pic and look at all this loveliness :)

Phil

hogfisch 24-May-2005 20:12

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!

Delooney 24-May-2005 20:12

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 !

Delooney.

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!

rcgbob44 25-May-2005 09:24

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!

Lust4Life 25-May-2005 11:57

Already printed the form and it'll all be in the post shortly :)

Cheers!

Phil

beancounter 25-May-2005 11:59

Phil, no more pictures please, I'm bitter enough as it is....

(just kidding)

Lust4Life 25-May-2005 18:57

Ha ha, just one more then :)
