Salut tout le monde,

Un petit coucou depuis Perpignan (Sud de la France) ou je passe quelques jours en famille avec Julie. Je pourrai vous féiliciter d'avoir obtenu les JO aux dépens de la ville de Paris mais je préfère vous présenter mes sincères condoléances pour les horribles événements qui viennent de se passer dans cette même ville de Londres. La connerie humaine ne connait aucune limite, c'en est une nouvelle preuve.

For those who don't understand French, I was just saying hello from France. I could congratulate London for hosting the Games in 2012, but I prefer to tell English people that I'm so sad about what happened in their city. When I see what some human beings (maybe not so human) can do, I definitely think there is no limit to the human stupidity.

So I'm in France for a little bit more than one week, and I'm sooooooo happy because I'll bring back my 600 Monster in the UK with me
I'm fed up with the M25, and I definitely need a better way of travelling than my car.

My Monster already rode 40ooo km (24ooo miles I think) and it's now time to service it. In France, most of the Ducatis go to servicing every 10ooo km for a "little service" and every 20ooo km for a big "service". So it's "big service" time for it, and I think that what needs to be done is:

- belts changing
- engine oil / filter changing
- valve gaps checking (I think you will understand even if I must write it wrong...)
- spark plugs changing
- air filter changing
- fork oil changing
- brakes / clutch liquid changing
- carbs cleaning (it's almost 8 months the engine didn't start)

And I think I must forget some stuff... The thing is I can do all easy things, but I'll need some help for all valves, belts and fork related stuff. Could somebody give me a hand with this? I really would like to learn how to maintain my Ducatis...

Cheers,
Tonio.

well if you anywhere near the Masif Central then the Ducati dealer in Clermond Feraund is excellent ...

Ah ha!
Perpignan - splendid place!
Love the old coast road into Spain........
Ahhhh memories!
I was a bit upset as I had two rear wheel slides on that stretch of road until oneof my mates pointed out that I'd ridden off the edge of the tread on both sides of the rear tyre on my ST2
