Duffy, your new beast is looking the part, how are you finding the new Ducati now you've had sometime to acclimatise yourself to it somewhat :?:

I’m loving it Chris although still getting used to all the modes and settings. Annoyingly the main power button is bigger and below the start button and when I stall it I press the wrong button and it shuts down. Apart from that it’s a joy to ride, and definitely the best bike I’ve had to date.

Duffy, a pity about the annoying big power button, apart from that it sounds like an amazing bike, probably best I don’t test ride one then 😂😂
Glad you’re very happy with it 👍👍

So as Jonesy couldn't make Saturday...

He came down on Sunday & workshopstuff was done on a non Workshopday day... :confused :confused

Bacon was consumed & a Swingarm was swapped over.

The Braced one from his old Storm was swapped on to Red633...

A fair bit of swareing enschede & the big hammer came out at one point...

Is that the swingarm I made a few years back, with a Blade brace?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
