New stuff fitted

Got the renthal sprockets, carrier and DID gold chain done yesterday.
Needed new cush drives went to Ducati Leeds (Shipley) and they charged nearly £57 for five, is that right.
Rode home in the dark, lights aren't up to much are they.
First day out on it though and i'm impressed.

I paid £40 at tecmoto but i guess after postage it's not too far off.

No they're not
especially when compared to modern Jap bikes, my one and only ride on a 749 suggested that Ducati have made improvements in this department but I would need to get one on some country roads at night to be sure.

That's £57 and I picked em up.

I suppose with the lights it's form over function the jap bikes tend to have very ugly lights that look too big compared to ours.
I'll just stay home after dark.

In Ducatidom £17 is a mere drop in the ocean. You'll learn to loose much more money than that in the coming months and years

Sharpo,

A paid up DSC member gets 10% off the vast majority of Parts at Ducati Leeds. You just need to show John or Jane yer membership card, they record the details so you don't need to produce every time.

I'll bear that in mind.

The 749/99 lights aren't up to much either
