Hi from down south

Hi everyone, bought my Evo a few months ago, brilliant bike, already adding bits to it. I've had Ducati's all my riding life, love them.... my favorite was a immaculate 888 SP5 which I could kick myself for selling.

Anyone in the Bournemouth area ?

A few pics of my Evo, one useful thing I've done is add the headlight/clock extender from Desmoworld. Massive difference, you can actually read the info on the clock instead of reflections.

Cheers Steve

Welcome along. Talking about clock extenders the only issue I ever had when I had my 1100s was the dark grey lettering on grey background. Awful colour unlike at least the 696 had reddish orange background. Why they were different I had no idea but worked better night and day.

Nice looking bike.

thanks Albie. I know the clocks are not the best colour combination but at least I can read them now !

Welcome aboard.
Perhaps we'll see you at the regular Wiltshire meet: thirdish Sunday of the month, often at the Haven [Previously the Hilltop Cafe] on the A30 between Salisbury and Lopcombe Corner? Or any suggestions if we head down to the coast?

Hi and welcome. Great looking bike.

Welcome along, bike looks great!

If you're interested, subscribe to the Wiltshire forum. You'll know then when and where to meet.

We get people from Berkshire and Somerset, as well as Wilts and Hants, so it would be great to have someone from Dorset too.

It's a nice ride out and the breakfasts are great too.
