New to Ducati

Hi & Thanks for all welcoming comments.

Google "man mistaken for scarecrow" and you'll see about the RTA. 4 months in NHS, plus in/out of Private after, 34 fractures, 10 Ops and counting.......

Previous Triumphs were 2 Thunderbird 900s and 1 Tiger 800. LOTS of off-road stuff of all makes -Husky 450 was my fave (see a bit of Italiana!!)

Thanks for info on Moto Rapido. I've been there - didn't know about the 10% - cheers - how do I prove UKMOC "membership" - take a copy of this post ???

My local dealer is Snells in Alton (nice people generally), who've done things on my previous Triumphs.

BUT, I want to get the M796 Dyno-Ed and they don't do that. They sent me off on a wild goose chase to Leatherhead to a tuners who don't do Monsters.

I'll call Moto Rapido. I've read all the posts on Cornerspeed, but my bike is tricky for a send away service. It has the Ducati Performance ECU and Termignonis. Low rev running is truly awful. As the pipes were SO LOUD, I put some genuine-Termignoni baffles in. Still sounds great, but now runs EVEN worse. I think I'd rather have it Dyno-Ed, and I'm not riding up to Cornerspeed !! But would love to hear the forum's ideas on that ......

Secondly, I read Luddite's "Spring has sprung" thread, and I'd like to change the progressive spring on my rear Sachs unit to a linear 105Nm Ohlins Spring, as he suggests (I'm same riding weight). Hopefully this will stop the bike pogo-ing, and hopefully Moto Rapido will source and do the change !!!

I'm off to ring them now........

Thanks Chris D, Luddite and All ...............
