My name is Alan and I like cake and Ducati motorcycles

Wow.. quite a welcome.. even from somebody the other side of the river!

I'm feeling a little better now I've encountered a lot more information on the s4. Paying for what is essentially some bike bits is always a bit worrying but after a few days of working things out I'm feeling a little better.

There are some truly beautiful bikes on this group. I've spent quite a while having a look around. It looks like a monster has to be done properly.. no half jobs allowed by the looks of it!

I've discovered that most of the bits I need are available off other Ducati bikes making the part sourcing a little easier. Not cheaper but certainly easier. As my wife points out - if I wanted cheap bits I should have got a 125. I guess she's right!

Thanks again all. Really appreciate the welcome and words of encouragement.

Well there's also the old cliche..."happy wife happy life"
I can't attest to it personally but...if you ask them they are right most of the time!!

Well I had a two pager on the welcome call so just passing it on a bit.

I'm going through a charging issue right now with my Foggy but I think I got it...seat time will tell.
Good luck with your S4. I've gotten pretty good at diagnosing my Ducati issues over the years and then of course there's the love that keeps you there.
I've had a lot of different brands over the years and pretty much purged the garage to get back to the Ducs and feel happy now...
