My Return to UK M.O.C. - Page 3

A wee update to the registration.
DVLA have confirmed that the bike has never been notified to them and that it will now be required to apply for FIRST registration.
All of the documentation are at DG and being completed by Kerry, any certificates of compliance will come from Ducati UK and it "should" be registered as a 68 plate for first registration.
How cool is that ??
I bet that gets a few questions in the right crowd ! "eh how come you've got an S2r as a brand new bike" ?

Might have more problems with the insurance companies, date of manufacture and registration being so different. Those bastards will use any excuse to load it up.

This is the way my tailpiece sits directly in contact with the frame.

Any gap is usually only due to too much bonding resin over the base of the bolts so taking that down is an easy if tiresome little job that looks way better when completed.

Why ?
All it asks is the reg and the model when doing it online ??
After all it is brand new.
For all they know it could've been in a private collection or still in the crate.
My 900 Supersport was bought in UAE in 1998 unregistered and brought over here with all the documentation stating 1991
It has a 1991 registration here
Maybe the Monster will end up 55 reg, either way it is still a new bike with only 14 miles

A bit of an update......

After dealing with the incompetence of DVLA last year and their can't do attitude I gave up trying to register the Monster.

Fast forward to June 2019 and I still don't have any bike on the road this year yet, not even interested for some reason.

The last DVLA contact was to get a letter from DUK to confirm the age of the bike and HMRC for a NOVA certificate HMRC told me there was already a NOVA issued for that VIN and DVLA have it, DVLA said they don't !

Anyway, ready for a fight with DVLA again and armed with all the info needed now I sent everything away again.

Within 2 weeks I received a V5, finally ! No questions no delays just first registration.

Year related plate (54) and first registration as 1st July 2019....result.

Having spoken with insurance prior to this they informed that a year related plate would be better to identify the correct model.

First ride out this year and taking it easy, checking things over and getting the feel of the bike.

30 miles and just did not like it one bit !
Stopped at Ducati Glasgow and was looking at a Diavel, at the other end of the showroom is Triumph, I sat on the Bobber and the Speedmaster.

Ok back on the road and a ride along the motorway and then round the coast road to Largs which is a very scenic road, you're riding right on the coastline and it's a nice twisty section which is perfect for twins.

I think I like this bike, really easy to ride, quick enough but still running it in.

By the time we got home we had clocked up around 120 miles, I love it ! A few adjustments with the bars and levers, and a few upgrades required and it will do just nicely.
Just what I was looking for, feet flat at traffic lights and not on my tip toes like on my KTM, classic look, no modern electrickery as such and a nice riding position.

Ok, here goes, I know I'll regret this but I'm selling Daisy !!

She's done just over 1000 miles, just been serviced including new belts and relays (fuel pump relay failed)

I'm just not getting to use her, I've had my enjoyment and the challenge of getting her registered and road legal, time for someone else to enjoy her.

Is asking £6000 too much ?

Geoff · 26-11-2021, 05:20 PM

Seems a reasonable price considering the excellent condition and low mileage. The s2r seems to hold its price unlike the m1000.

Long time no see. Hope all goes well.

Hi Geoff,

how's things with you, hope you're well.

I've not seen you in ages, still getting the miles in on the bikes or have you succumbed to being a car driver yet ?

What are you riding now ? Still got the Tricolore ?

Geoff · 03-12-2021, 03:43 PM

Hi Brian,
Doing fine. Still got monster and tricor 1098s. Now got a car licence but still use my bikes a lot. My monster has just reached 151k miles with 60k miles on the 1098. Both bikes now have an alloy tank so no probs with ethanol
in the tank.

Hi Geoff, good to hear your doing well. Who’s is the three and a half?, never met another owner though my strada hasn’t run for a long time now.

Geoff · 03-12-2021, 08:00 PM

Hi Dave,
Belongs to my mate Kenny. One of his stable of classic twin and single dukes, guzzi’s.
