Poor lack of effort IMO

Jane got anymore test rides booked?

New can fitted

It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts about the Scorpion can after you've had it a while.

Mine was fine for about 12 months then went downhill pretty quickly.

In what way?

the finish is going off, some paint has flaked and the sticker and heat shield show signs of heat exposure.

They have a lifetime warranty make a claim if its defective material.

Did you guys see the 44T video showing that mild acid on a warm exhaust rejuvenates the finish? I need to try it on my headers

People have been using oven cleaner on their headers for years.

Be careful doing this. It doesn't clean it, it etches some surfaces.

washed mine ,waxed the chain and put on a new mirror and bar end ,I need to order a new HP4 footpeg which is silly money !
It looks nice and clean now though ,need to try my leathers out but I cant get the airbag app working

Just rang my local Ducati dealer for a test ride on a v4 streetfighter and they haven't go one or any bikes to sell all sold.

Ducati Worcester aren't expecting any new bikes in until mid to late September

Well after getting the Dorsoduro back after what seems like ages...it was actually, it needed a new tank and it’s been down Fowlers for weeks while they try and get Piaggio to honour the cost as it was only out warranty by a couple of weeks. Anyway I bought the tank myself as it was taking that long I’m missing a load of riding.
Anyway I had big box with some goodies in it for when it got back so I fitted them this afternoon, what a performance I couldn’t break the joint of the back box and link pipe it was solid, had to do some grinding to get it off.

And yes the baffles are out

I bet that sounds ace
