This is the 4th sensor in 2 years so its a well known on going issue with Ducati. I will be selling it but not till next year when I may get the enduro version.

Spring doesn't seem to be making a rush to get here. It's still bloody freezing on the bike.

I've tried that. Carrying a hose to extract petrol from other vehicles isn't permitted, according to the magistrates

Left the bike at home because of the weather.

Big mistake, 90 minutes to get to work. One of the main roads is flooded.

ACF-50'd the shit out of it. GB racing engine casings on, tank protectors and grips on. After learning the hard way, when the 2013 Daytona first came out I knew I'd have one sooner or later so as all the racers got rid of their bodywork I snapped up a cheap set of plastics for a bike I would own two years in the future.

I was going to plasti dip the tank black but I quite like it white.

The Evotech ones are quality, model and indicator specific, but not cheap. Fitted mine the other day.

Is it the photo or is there a massive difference between how the front and the rear tyres have been used?

Front tyre is brand new. Less than 50 miles on it all by me. The bike came with a new rear too but there's a few miles left on it yet!
