Me and my bloody enthusiasm. I only went and ripped my bike apart without thinking about putting it back together. Basically my student budget has died so theres not a great deal of hope of getting the thing finished before the weekender. I've still got a load of bits to buy and my next student loan doesn't come in until the monday before the weekender. not enough time to sort it really.
The question is thus; if I can persaude my brother I'll be tooling down on his R6, but is this allowed? I promise I'll hide in the corner and pretend I don't know you if we go out. Will you not all point and laugh too much though please.
heres a pic of my bike as of about 10 minutes ago..... knackers.....

You'll just have to park in the Naughty corner :dunce: with the TDM, GS, Fire-place, T-bird, etc. Good luck convincing your brother - hope it's not a :banghead: situation.

Was this a moment of absolute student boredom? I thought you lot just sat around smoking dope and thinking about doing stuff. Or is it cos your student budget ran out before you could get your gear? :twak: :spin:
It's ok, there's a special, out of the way, 'other, not ducati' side of the carpark especially reserved for poor unfortunates such as yourself.
It'll be lovely to see you whatever you're riding Ben.

You are very welcome in the UK-Not A Ducati Monster Club. Even if only for the weekend. Oh and I completely understand the student budget problems, I'm just about to blow half my savings on a TSR full system (If I can ever get BAT motorcycles to import it).

It wasn't a complete moment of stupidity. I decided to write my dissertation about my engine which meant taking it out to go to a uni lab. then i decided the frame and other various bits needed powdercoated. then i decided the entire front end would be better off replaced. oops.
And your student stereotype isn't quite right. Sometimes if we've thought about doing something enough we will actually leave the house!!

Yes, I know. I won't mind at all if you want to point and laugh just for a minute or 2 when I see you.

I think PD's photo idea isn't a bad one. I'll take photos of all the bits then turn it into some sort of competition to see who can finish the jigsaw 1st. hmmm.....
Oh deary deary me....... :D

We could have a sort of blindfold 'pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey" sort of game to go with the pub quiz!
Top idea fella!
Get the camera out, and rob as much photopaper from college as you can!

...Maybe you could bring all the bits in a very large box to the weekender..and get all these smug ' I have my ducati in tip top condition' lol to put it all together..kinda like a giant mechano set...
I can see the brows furrowing in fustration even now....
Only kidding....at least youre getting there....some of us will only be their in spirit...but are planning to make up for it on the next one...
Good luck,
