Wheeled it out the garage and started it up for the first time in over two months. Then rode it back in the garage :D

Wheeled it on the garage, started it and rode it around the Oxfordshire and Glous countryside like a mad man, had a massive breakfast at a new location (logged for a future TS ride out) rode home, cleaned bike, makes a change that I did it after the ride, but she was a mess from today and last weeks outing.

Edit > sorry rode with skill and plenty of care and attention.

Bedded in the new pads as I filtered through about 4 miles of standstill traffic on the M6.

The reason for the tailback? People rubber necking a car being recovered from the hard shoulder. I kid you not.

last night I decided to start both bikes and let them get up to operating temperature, the multi started first time ( as usual ) so then onto the 999, after about 3 turnovers she fired up and I haven't started it for about 3 weeks, spot on. (y)

You aren't saying that all this hype about Ducati's is wrong? That they are more than just good looking pieces of metal and plastic?! :P

:D Did you race him away from the lights.?

As a very young Saint I did that once; Filtered to the front of a line of traffic only to find myself alongside a Traffic Cop on a bike. Knowing that I was fully legal (even number plate size.! ) I dropped my clutch & shot away, gave it beans right up to 30 & then just cruised at that (being the speed limit).
Unsurprisingly he caught up with me & pulled me over.
He asked me "what on earth I thought I was doing"
I explained that I had broken no laws, as there was no law about how fast you accelerate, just on the maximum speed & that I had adhered to that limit. (angel)
He was "exceptionally unimpressed" :?
He was even less impressed when I pointed out that, (wait) in order to catch up & pull me over, he must have exceeded that limit.?
I don't recall the specifics, but I did get a considerable dressing down, but didn't get prosecuted.


LOL, I hope it wasn't TC (although I suspect he dealt with many equally idiotic young pratts)

He waved me forward, probably to see if I knew it was 20mph on the other side of the lights.

It is a fine ass, so I wouldn't blame him if he did check it out.
