New Update

more news to add to this...

Got a phone call at 10.00 yesterday .. It was Tart 2 ... He had been home for a whole 20 mins after a 26 plane journey back from New Zealand, and guess what.... He was itching to get out on the Duke... So, needless to say, .... GAME ON !!!!


Since my last post where I was disappointed with my Duke and looking to change for a ZX, I have made a few changes to the Duke. Nothing too major but just some subtle suspension tweaks. Theses changes have made a huge difference.... however, the Michelin H2 Race tyres are still being binned and replaced with Diablo Corsas. Compared with the last time I rode the Duke along the same route I used on Saturday, it felt like a completely different bike and was a lot more rewarding to ride.

The ZX is still a blinding bike and you could say the same about all the 'new' top sports bikes, but my Duke still just has that edge....

So there we have it, the Duke has had a Stay of Execution for the time being and Camp Ducati will have to put up with me for a little longer :P
