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?

I do miss him a lot Steve but, I dont feel comfortable riding him without the frame being welded up properly or even renewed in some way.

The bike had a 944cc big bore kit fitted when I got it, last thing I did before riding him last was to fit Dyna coils and some 41mm FCR Kehins, but that is a whole different world of pain
