Catteeclan Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I get on this bike it's covered in bloody spiders webs. Decided to give it a bit of a clean up which get into a bit more once in there. Where do you stop but think a bit of hammerite spray would be better than that lot. That'll do for now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Update. Got some time today and decided the head bearing need a re-grease but once in there sure enough it need new bearings. Judging by the damage they've been done before but no recess made them a right arse to get out. Next time will be easier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Ducati is one brand I definitely won't be buying. They had a really strong sales team made up of women who actually rode and rode well so you could wander over at a bike festival and they knew about bikes. It was refreshing because mostly with bikes it's bimbos hired in who know nothing about the product. They were such an impressive outfit they had a group photo in the adventure biker gallery at ABR with all the other A list off roaders pics. I asked my nice looking friend who's mainly a Yoga instructor (so she's also slim and fit) why she wasn't with Ducati anymore, she replied I'm too old for them. They got rid of all of us. Some head honcho came over from Italy and replaced them all with young airheads. Apparently that's more in keeping with the Ducati image. An image they can shove where the sun doesn't shine. Backward twats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never encountered a bike salesman that was as well informed about the bike that I wanted to buy than I was. Even before the net I did a lot of reading and research, and whenever possible I tried to speak to an existing owner for their feedback. Preferably an owner that could talk about the model within the context of how it compares to other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
