All Activity

June 20th to 22nd at The Marconi, Lavernock South Wales.

Some of you may have noticed we have a new section on the forum. The management… decided to break out the ride reports into the new section, so put your day rides, touring and meets, rallies and show reports in the appropriate boards. Should make it easier to search and hopefully attract some new blood to brighten the place up.

what bread ?

probably ... the amount of times its slid down the road lately

From my visit at Sammy Miller’s museum:

I've been to their museum and seen that in the flesh , pretty impressive engine for the time it was built

LS power'd small plane....

The Tornado & Haga-san...Suzuka 8hrs...

Guzzi 500 cc V8....

Gotta admit at a combined weight of over 300kg I was a tad apprehensive but I'm a tad nuts so went in full guns and the great white lump just gobbled up mud , rocks , logs , massive ruts and long gravel climbs. Before this little bimble I was seriously thinking of chopping it in for a CF450MT, but not now , just need to fettle a few thing like the suspension and the gear shifter, needs a flexible tip. Before and after

Now go and clean it you heathen

No trails involved yesterday and they keep the roads very clean in Oxfordshire don’t you know

Cheers its a Desert Sled 800

It’s a Ducati.

Damn right!

I’ve always loved the style of those scramblers, which model is it?

Bikes bloody clean Bob, you got that van out of shot?

I'll add a load of pics here and give a review at the end

Dressed and packed the big white lump and left last Wednesday in 33c hot sun

It had to happen, I bought this Ducati "Scrambler " a couple of years back and honestly love it , done some light green lanes but the time came to do it proper !!! I'm lucky enough to live within spitting distance of the Pyrenees and plenty of TET routes. Home is the blue spot and I planned on a anti clockwise route round Toulouse

Been there , done that When I was flipping bikes I bought a CB125F with the crank gone, the lad didn't realise you had to put oil in the engine every so often Gave him £250 for the bike , got an engine off eBay for £250, fitted it and tided it up. Got £1100 for it .

You don't know the half of it mate. Let me introduce you to my Hornets new end can. Not Soft Dad. The motor has only done 291 miles
