Hi everyone,Im 31 and from sunny south shields. I used to have a s2r 800 on a 57 plate until some turkey brain went into the back of me with his french piece of **** clio while i was at stationary traffic. the poor monster was a write off category C. It had only 2400 miles on her clock. I sold it to a guy from estonia on ebay for a fair price and bought the new 696 and my my my! i wish i had of bought it instead of the s2r at the time. In my eyes its pisses all over my old monster and i`m very happy with it. seriously! the boys at bologna sure new what they were doin. I was a bit apprhesive at 1st but i would recomend this new 696 to anyone. It makes the old monster look very dated. I also hear that they`re gonna drop the 1100ds engine in her next which will be scary fast as this bike is so light!

Chicolina

Mine in the middle.

My old flame.

Welcome to the other side.

Nice to see some pictures of my local haunt.
I can remember when it was as if I was the Only Ducati in the Village.
Now it looks like I am the Only old Ducati in the village!

Welcome Arbeia. The new bike looks good with the red wheel edging but still has the uncle Festa look

I love the pic of the baby monnie next to the big one. The one of the old next to the sea is definately a shot for the calender comp so get posting.

Hello and welcome!

I'm quite liking the red wheel stripes on your 696. Very neat.
Did you do them yourself?

Well Hello,what a lovely little monster you have,i did wonder whos 696 kept appearing on youtube,now i know.Does bike perform better with Db killers removed ?

23-07-2008, 03:39 PM

yes i put the edgeing on myself,could of done a neater job i suppose.
When i got the bike it had the dbkillers already removed and i havent put them in,so i couldnt tell you if it performs differently.
