Ducati Sporting Club UK > Events > Rideouts, Meets and other Events > 19th Feb - Looks good enough to get the Bike out

[Manga]

I got out for two hours today but had to come back after 5 miles - soon as I opened the throttle hard, the oil light came on!
Popped back home and had to put 500ml in - been a while since I had the Duc out and even longer since I checked the oil. Have to take off the fairing to top it up as well (6 Dzuz fasteners).

Straight back out again and had a great ride round the local twisties, felt wonderful to pin it in 2nd up to the 10k limiter!

Several moments - van in front on a NSL, at 5mph - I'm doing 100 easily, seen him early so I stop right behind him and then he decided to turn right without indicating and cant understand why I'm on the horn!

Back end slip & grip - no drama though on this chassis and Dunlops.

Coming out of a village 30 limit doing 30 into a NSL on the A444 - fkin 4 cars all overtaking a tractor & trailer approaching me - last car would have taken me out if I had been; 1. another car or 2. anywhere near the 60 limit.

Made it back home in one piece and feel so much better.

Can't wait for the warm weather.

Few nice bikes including an RC8R at Netherseal.
