That came out wrong. Peter is still with us of course but sadly Gary isn't.

Anyway Jerry I hope you get your wheel fixed.
You could try twatting it with an electric guitar turned up full volume, at least if it doesn't straighten your wheel out, you could become a star..

i have been in league with Satan all my life ,, its probably God who is jealous and pissed off with me

actually the bike is now running very well did 217 miles on sunday no leaks , glitches , and with the 8.5mnm springs the bike even gets to 130mph with NO wobbles ,, I reckon the lighter old springs were causing an oscillation ..
all is good .. bike is 18 years old and Thailand is not an easy environment ,,but she will go another 20 years with good care and i will be 80 then ha ha maybe ?????

5 spokers do come up for sale occasionally on fleabay. I've not seen any for a while though but it may be worth a saved search. If the worst comes to worst the 3 spokes are easily available and not much heavier (500g IIRC) from the 5 spoke ones but don't look as nice though.

Would you know whether the S4 front wheels are the same as on the S2R (Apart from colour)?

5 spoke marchesinis are common across Ducatis, also used on Aprilias

Yea, Aprillia use the same forks and brakes too so should be interchangable without too much fettling. Pretty much a straight swap from what I read somewhere (here?), but I can't confirm if thats true.

Are you sure Capo? That's a cover of Kinks Lola and not half bad, in an unplugged laid back kinda style. Ray Davies is a great musician and songwriter and very much under rated and appreciated imho, although what I would consider in the 'Pop' genre, still head and shoulders above anything that they would have you believe is good Pop music these days.
