Its gonna be weird. For a few years now I have been on this site and not owned a Duke. This made me feel a bit like a train or plane spotter!

But now I am one of you.....

Hmm still sorting the options to get it from Lincoln to here.

It appears I can have a 5 hour train journey up for only £32 and then ride back.... Hmm maybe!

I think hireing a van will be the best option, especialy if the weather is nasty the day you come up, also the time you leave etc is as you want it to be

Chris.

How long will it take you to modify it?
....You are going to modify it...aren't you?

nice one Paul.

I can ride it to yours if you give me the Fazer to ride back!

Ozz · 17-Sep-2006, 21:40

Chris may be the best option. I am tomorrow going to look into one way hire, ie drive something up to you and ride back.

Ian I had that thought but also would like to get it down here before 3 weeks time as the weather is on the turn. Having said that if anyone is driving a van to BSB at Brands that may be an option. Cadwell may have to be the one though.

Chi, sounds fair, your accounts bill has just gone up by £2k...

Dave probably not as it is just a stepping stone to a 748 or something next year when more funds are available!

nice one, will make a good commuter town bike

KeefyB · 17-Sep-2006, 21:49

As stated in another thread,...I'm coming down to Bournemouth this friday,...I can pick the bike up and ride it down,if ya like.

Well done Ozz

A bloke I know rides up to Hemel from Blandford in Dorset to work three days a week. He has Honda SP thingy with a pillion seat. I should be able to catch him tomorrow to ask him to bring you up this far. From here, I can take you as a pillion to Lincoln (as long as you don't weigh more than about 12 stone, that is. Don't fancy being squashed to death against my own tank

. How does that sound?

You MUST ride it home, regardless of the weather. It's a Monster. They don't mind the rain. When I picked up my new bike on Thursday, the guy at Ducati Aylesbury said two people due to collect their new bikes had cancelled because 'it looked like rain'. It is incumbent on us to dispel this rediculous myth that Ducatis can't be ridden in the rain.

PM me if you want to get this lined up.
