Monster Fatigue M900Sie (MY2K)

Good afternoon all, long time no anything so thought an update might be in order, so the monster didn’t sell after all, no real surprise, and I couldn’t bring myself to actually torch it, so we’ve been out playing as and when time allows, then about a month ago it disgraced itself, went on to one cylinder, luckily not too far from home, managed to nurse it back as a single to discover one of the recently fitted new injectors had thrown its hand in. Ok, I’ll admit they were suspiciously cheap for new items so lesson learned I ordered a new matched pair from the UK CCW vendor Exact Fit / Exact Start, £129 for the pair delivered, much better than the obscene ransom Ducati wanted, almost £600 each ffs!! Anyway now fitted and running ok again, for now.

In other news, thought this retirement lark was looking a bit tame and as I clearly wasn’t spending enough time / money on Ducati bits I decided to take on another rescue project, those of a sensitive nature look away now, I’ve gone over to the dark side and taken on a Y2K Aprilia RSV Mille R, chap I got it from had it for 20 years, cosmetically challenged but runs / rides ok, I won’t bore you with the details and it’s certainly been challenging, not great to work on if compared to Ducati build / packaging, seemingly endless amount of pipes, it’s like a washing machine with the bodywork off! Not a keeper!
What’s the aphorism about a fool and his money? (that’s rhetorical BTW!)
Cheers all, safe riding.

Cracked me up, I used to work with a bloke who had a Mille, 2006 I think, it had Aprillia carbon race cans on and it's the loudest bike I've ever heard, those pipes must have saved some lives ;-)

When I had a TL-S with cans I thought that was loud until some chap next to me fired up his TL-R with full system - jesus christ was that loud!
