hey everyone! just thought i'd catch up after a quiet winter and see what everyone is doing!

i know ive hardly been on here for the last few months. ED - you got your 1098 yet?!

anyways, if anyone wanna send me a txt (my mobli's speaker is knacked so i cant hear when people phone me), would be awesome!

plenty of events for 2007, so lets get out there when the weather is not rubbish!

Hi Neil. It has been ages.
Norfolk news then...
Veloce shut did you know?
Rod got his money back they were holding for the 1098
We don't have a 1098
He doesn't have a bike
I have a bike
It's really cold but I have been out and about
We had a quiet Christmas, how about you?
What about these plenty of events?

i thought as much with regards to Veloce...... i went for a little ride out last weekend, and went to Veloce to pop in and say hello, but it was closed, with no bikes in! thats pretty bad! i got a service in 800 miles!

so whats happened to the Rs? did it sell?

events wise, i mean snetterton, trips to sunny hunny, donington, ace cafe!? sound good?

i hate this time of year as all i can do is clean and polish my bike.. whereas i'd much rather be riding it!

this is first time time I've posted anything on the website

Noticed from your entries that Veloce has closed. Any idea what the next nearest dealership is ? Bought my S2R from Veloce last April so it's due for a service next time I'm home - not sure where to go, any idea's ?

Hello mate, Parkinsons in Colchester isn't too far away and they're really friendly. I've not got their number to hand but 118*** will have it. Its a good run from Gt Y to Colchester too.

Hi neil good to see you're awake at last

looking forward to a ride out or two if you're stuck for something to do then my little beast could do with a cleanup it's been out all winter and the cobwebs are hanging

speak soon

where are those suffolk and norfolk reps when you wanna ride out organised...

servicings wise, there is a bloke around the norwich area who used to work at chris clarkes before it closed. rumour has it that he still does ducati work, and as he is a ducati trained mechanic and still has the ducati stamp to make it all legit!

i know PD has his details, if you look in past threads, his number has been banded about.

I don't know about the stamp bit Neil...

That would be Carl Harrison at Harleston yes? I was under the impression that if it's warranty work then it's either Parkinsons in Colchester or St Neotts in Cambridge, both a trek but a nice ride probably.

Hi Strings. We used to get down to the White Swan a lot during the Summer last year but it seems to have been flooded ever since the Great Rains of Gt Yarmouth in August!

When I can fit into my Winter Suit, I will organise something. In the meantime, feel free to organise something anybody and if I can breathe enough to get my trewsers on and my leg over the bike then I'll come along too.

Even if it's just a coffee run somewhere, that's fine.
