Hello!

04-10-2011, 04:08 PM

Hello all!

Thought I'd drop in here n say hello before I start asking loads of questions.

I'm not new to Ducati's, I've had a ST2, 748 and Paul Smart 1000. Some of you guys might know me from Ducati Up-North.

I've just sold the Smart, the riding position got too bad for me, and I've bought a S4R in blue with white stripe.

It's not even here yet and I'm looking for things to do to it! Mainly get rid of the CAT, it doesn't look good.

Hopefully I'll see some of you out and about.

Rich

Welcome to the club Rich, with all the other Ducati's you've owned you'll know you way around the Monster no problem. Is the Blue/White one the 996 engined one ?

04-10-2011, 04:27 PM

Its the 996 engine. I've not really ridden one for a while. I test rode this one, but had to take it easy due to new tyres.

Of course, new bike, it will now rain for the next month. Starting on Saturday when it gets delivered!

Hi Rich, Chris at Desmoworld sells a realy good quality set of headers for the S4R, they are made by Spark, fit perfectly and get rid of the udder.

btw ..welcome to the mad-house...

With difficulty in the traditional sense, but the Ventura rack solves all those problems.
