Another build thread - Ducati 1000

[buzzer]

its been a while, this has been at the back of the garage waiting for spring... been out on it the last few days and its a hoot to ride! just a few niggles to sort... speedo needs calibrating, brake pedal adjustment and a few odd jobs...

Although I have used the same silencer (loose term!!) on other builds for some reason on this one its MEGA loud. maybe the length of pipe or something, but I am going to have to use a baffle... In order not to annoy the neighbours I decided to go somewhere quiet and out of the way to adjust the carbs, they take a bit of time... I pulled up in a quiet lane in the middle of nowhere... I was sitting there when a car drove by and stopped, two guys got out and came over, said they were bikers and asked if I needed help... we chatted for almost an hour!
