| thanks frank. I did find that one earlier today. The bike had not been used for a very long time (maybe 3 years) and was just in a garage so condensation could have been the cause.
BTW - I sent my details to Ducati UK with frame/engine numbers to confirm the bike. They did indeed confirm the bike as a genuine superlight Mk V but the machine was never intended for UK - it was supposed to be in Japan. I don't know how it found it's way here but it was sold as a new bike from Aye Gee (Kent?). All these very interesting and Ducati-esq anomolies cetainly make life a bit more interesting. |
