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
Chris.

So as Jonesy couldn't make Saturday...
He came down on Sunday & workshopstuff was done on a non Workshopday day...
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...
Failed to get one of it fitted...Over to you Jones...

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