    Rusty water coming from the front end?

    I use a normal hose with a foam gun attachment. It's an 04 with 24k miles on the clock used in all weathers, the bearings aren't that costly so I might just replace them.

    Exhaust freak out

    I bought a Scorpion link pipe and fittings direct from Scorpion. I took the Ducati cans apart myself before taking them to a local industrial heaters workshop to have them cut down on an industrial saw to keep them as straight as possible. Once that was done I took them to a pipe welder to have...

    Life conspired to not let me get away till just after 11 this morning. Glad you enjoyed the road to Applecross even though the weather is horrendous today. Shame it wasn't possible to meet but enjoy the rest of Scotland and keep it shiny side up.

    33bhp Restriction

    Fuel injected bikes are restricted with throttle stops or ECU flashes for the newer bikes. Pretty sure only carbed bikes get washers. I've also had mine to 108mph (on the speedo at least). Not sure what fuel is like as I never lay attention to what range I get from a tank. I do a lot of town...

    Why ride a motorcycle

    That video sums up perfectly why I ride. My partner can't wait to get on a bike once the kids are older. In fact I'm tempted to book her onto a CBT course as a surprise :D

    First ride of 13

    Lovely bike and a nice quality video. I was really impressed with the sound quality. Can't believe it took 2 minutes to get to the first corner :O That road was just so straight! I'd struggle not to pin the bike in every gear and go for top speed :spank:
