Welcome to the club..

You may not have much response this weekend as a load of the forum members are away for the UKMOC weekender..

There are loads of peeps here that will be able to help you out, all you need to do is ask..

Welcome!

Might be worth you getting in touch with Plum - he is in the channel Islands (I presume you mean Alderney CI?)

mind you - I didnt know motorbikes were allowed in Alderney?? :confused:

you've found the right place for getting the info you need - I'm sure someone with pointers will be along soon, you may need to be a little patient (maybe the other side of this weekends meet).

Meanwhile, bike photos are your ticket to entry! ;)

Hi, You've got some nice windy roads there. Like a mini TT course if you get out for an early mornig blast. A standing quarter along the top of the breakwater would be impressive and be heard by the whole island.

There used to be a chap with a ST2 on the island but that's the only other Ducati I've come across there.

Welcome.

Best thing to do for parts is to post what you are looking for and someone will be along to say if they've got it.

I am on a proper island. No MOT, no crash helmet law, no road tax. we do have a crap speed limit (35mph) but there are just 3 cops and they stop for lunch and dinner.I bet you dont know when I go for a spin?
I did take a bike over to jersey one year to do the sprint, that was ace.
cheers for now aurigney:booze:

Can do better than that we have a 2 day sprint and hill climb in september. even had the F.T.D. FOR F1 sidecar for a few years (not so good on a solo) but still have a go.
cheers Aurigney.:booze:

My old man is on the Rock
Need to get booked in for the hill climb think its in sept up past Fort Tourgis

If you buy parts from a dealer you can claim the VAT back (valid vat reciapt required) 17.5% is worth saving
