I am based in Kingston-Upon-Thames so kinda border of SW london, next to Wimbledon Putney Richmond etc.
Nick, may take you up on that manual mate. I can't wait to service the bike, sounds weird but when I service one of my classic cars I feel a bonding process. Also sense of satisfaction that I know things have been done.
I am so happy I bought a Ducati and to tell you the truth I haven't felt this happy about a purchase since I bought my old 68 Mustang. Its a good feeling and feels special, much different from the normal run of the mill bikes.
I am itching to get out on the bike but late nights at work have stopped me getting my insurance sorted. Well I have only had the bike 2 days. Also its been raining and I'm fair weather rider
I just need to find a source for good parts such as a rear hugger and service items.
