And yes, Ducati twins have never been about pottering about town, especially R-spec motors. Not sure about the destroy themselves bit as I've had faultfree miles on mine over long distance. But never would I rate an engine based on town-friendliness! The big Dukes always have a gigantic elastic power band, similar to the way big Ferrari V12s behave in cars.

Is that your 1098R in the latest copy of PB? My excuse for a memory thinks you're an "Ade" and the bike on p.24 has been extensively fiddled with / super-finished bits etc and looks vaguely familiar.

Saw this at Brigg bike night think it looks great.

That it does, wire wheels add to the overall look so well.

Exploring some lanes around Northamptonshire on Saturday lunch time.

[Prof Prolapse]

Wet run through Perthshire and up towards Braemar where I (just) failed to get above the clouds. 4 hours in the rain with no waterproofs, I take what I can these days!

Bonus points if you can identify the car I'm parked next to.

[Prof Prolapse]

I'm similarly guessing it was either a slightly bigger Evoque, or a new Disco.

Exciting stuff.

Looks like the https://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/range-rover-v... surprised they still had the wrapping on it though as it was at goodwood.

[Prof Prolapse]

The wrap was pretty battered to be honest, the alloys doubly so. So it is possible they just couldn't be arsed pulling the wrap off an already released model. It is a nice part of the world to go for a run.

It's always fun to see "prototype wrap" though.

Good to see it running - you bought it when I first had my VFR - which in a fit of pique I sold over two years ago!

This was mint until my friend bought it and dropped it when someone pulled out on him and then threw it when it wouldn't work. I was heart broken.

I didn't even get a go before this happened

[B'stard Child]

My next work in progress



WIP because it has some issues to resolve so a bit of a rolling resto

I have only every purchased a motorcycle that didn't require some work and that was back in 1982 and probably because that one was brand new........ and within 3 months I was on 2nd oversize pistons!!!.

So he crashed it, picked it up, tried to start it, it wouldn't work, he threw it on the floor and then photographed it??

He's been watching far too much Moto3!
