It would have been Petes birthday tomorrow... (Tuesday) He is still much missed

Most I ever ended up with was 20 stitches in my foot, nothing worse ever happened, but it was not through the lack of trying. Glad you lived lived to tell the tale.

Broken bone?....Skin grafts?.......but most of all, was the bike OK?

Now I would like that! I had one years ago, not particularly fast, handled fine, and was easy to work on, comfy too........ dream on.

Painting will take your mind off of it.

My scoot has pegs!.......just rear pegs I admit... you got my vote!.

I put new discs and pads on the Dacia, 6 months later and they still bleeding squeal. So my wife's says.

The later models with the Bosch engine management system had none of these (starting & running) problems, the early model (like this one) is best avoided, Ducati Veglia engine management systems are like Hens teeth.

Would have to ask the owner that question. The engines in these bikes are not usually troublesome, the electrics (usually) went POP long before the engine got to a decent mileage.

If it had been the slightly later model, then a possibility, but it is a early model with Ducati Veglia electrics, they all go POP and replacements are nearly the same price as the bike..

Whooo look!, I had a mad idea. Sanity has returned now.

Sat here bored, so no other choice but to cut the grass.

I will have to post it to you.

Already have, plenty of crumbs and 1 sticky wine gum.

Out of petrol till my next pension arrives..

Can't afford the Methanol.

Last time I went there my (Near) namesake was racing, jeez that must have been in the very early 1970,s....

Fat Fooker!. The cat, not you

River widening!

A38...M1 junction 23a..... passed East Mids Airport, country road to Donington Park...... just a reverse journey back home, nothing exciting was encountered on the journey there and back, did have a short shower on the way there. Took a few photos, phone camera is crap.

Off to Donington at 9am... it could be my longest trip of this year , and last year too.

Riding in the rain.....not my idea of fun........better forecast for tomorrow.

And!............ Its is drizzling May try again tomorrow.

Charging scoot battery and checking the oil & tyre pressures ready for (hopefully) the ride to Donington tomorrow, watch it piss down tomorrow morning.
