Croft 2010, the lad on the Green Kawasaki crashed while in 2nd place of the BSB SS 600 race at Croft a week after this picture was taken, can't remember his name but he was in our Garage and spent the whole day picking on me out on track.

Yamaha missed a trick not offering that yellow finish as an official colour.

Can someone confiscate my credit card please?

This bike is going to get the clean of it's life now.

Is that screen a laminar lip? If so how do you find it? I'd consider one but I'd only leave it fitted for longer journeys if they are any good.

Yes it is, it's an improvement over standard in terms of wind protection but you still have to get flat on the tank to fully get out of the wind.

Looks a bit st too.

Yep, it's a serious bit of kit.

How are you getting on with the dragster?

Fantastic bike.... had a 748, F4 an F3 before but this one is just awseome. Noise, looks, performance and bucket loads of charachter! Taken the baffles out and you can here it comming from miles away.....

Few upgrades planned for this year including the MV Corse number plate carrier which removes the unsightly one over the rear wheel and loads of Carbon.

I'll be doing a full write up on my website in the next day or two if anyone will be interested?

I'll read it Tom.

I'll post up on here when it's done, about half way through but unfortunately real work takes priority

If anyone wants to read it you can find a link in my profile and the nifty write up is in there.

For those that don't here's another nice picky

After more than 6 months in bits, with lots of things to do (make eBay fairings fit mostly!), track bike is finally back together.

I've just primered it now, still rough in places. But at least rideable!

I have to ask... Why have you primed it and put stickers on the top?

I'm just leaving it in primer for now. Stickers I had lying around for the bants

Yeah! Tbh I kinda like it like this, add some fluro stripes and do the tank.

Got too optimistic, stripped the sump thread with no effort at all. fking steel bolt into a soft alloy hole. FML

First ride oiut on the new Scrambler sixty 2, which I collected this week. So different to the CB650 F, much better suited to the Thai roads . There are miles of off road tracks, that are perfect for this bike, just go and explore with no restrictions, unlike the UK.
Had the Cat removed from the exhaust and it sounds so good and seems to make the bike rev much more freely.
Will get Ducati Hua Hin to reprogramme the electrics to suit a Termignoni exhaust, if they think necessary.
But, the quality control bods have painted a marker in yellow, on EVERY bolt on the bike, to prove each one has been tightened......what a mess. Now I have to spend hours with nail polish remover and a cotton wool bud to clean them all.
Hey ho, this is Thailand......

Now I have a list of add ons, which I can buy direct from Mugello shop in Bangkok. Front screen, headlight cover, frame sliders, new seat in brown check vinyl, and change the rear sprocket from 48 to 44 to make it more smoother on the round town work.
Total cost of the bike was 280,000 bht ( about 6500 gbp ) and the bits will add onother 20,000 bht.
Good value for a Ducati entry level bike.
Soon we will have the Monster 797 here, and that will be around 380,000 bht about 8800 gbp. Think they will do well with this new bike in the range.

Taking advantage and gone into work on mine today.

A bit chilly at 6:45 but wrapped up. I forgot to wipe the inside of my visor so suffered with fogging to the point I had to open the visor a little. Ended up at work half deaf with watery eyes!

Roads were nice and clear so no need to mount any pavements!

brief chat with the owner it has history from the six day trial
