He's thinking his brake pads are coming up to needing replacing, so it just has to go.:

I have never looked in all honesty. Personally don't think I'd own a Ducati anyway I'd be far too precious over it! I think it would be more as parts are more anyway plus a premium brand

Checked the oil level, the sight glass is on the side of the bike next to the wall so it's a fun process, a light, mirror and balancing the bike all together, the drive and street both slope so inside the garage is the only flat ground.

Then checked tomorrows forecast. (Arse)
Then got beer.

Sorn'd it.

A bit early but last week's run through north wales finished the rear tyre and at the moment i can't see there being a spare weekend in October.


Time to dust off the dirt bike and get it dirty (lol)

The usual Monday morning madness. Within about 300 yards as filtered on the road up to the M42 I had two twats change lanes on me without any warning. Good job I plan my escape routes. Neither of them apologised or even acknowledged me. Fecking arseholes.

Rode to work last 2 mornings while the sun was out but dam it is fresh, heated grips may be needed soon to stop my hand stiffening up so much

also need a change in tyres, not keen on these Michelins that were on the bike when I got it, they are meant to be sports rubber but they seem to take forever to warm up, and mornings like today seem to not get much in to them at all, considering I was out for an hour this morning they wernt exactly sticky, gunna try the metzelers, step down in sportiness but better for my level of riding
