Rolled a really immaculate, original Ducati 748 outside to get a bit of room. Looking for the book and... crash! Fell over on my cobbled yard. I recon there's well over a grand's worth of damage. Top, middle and bottom fairing, mirror, brake lever, battery, bar end, clutch drum, clutch cover, indicator, footrest. Ebay here we come. Bollocks.   Back to top

Too much stuff. Right - time for a clear out. If that clear out includes a 3XV, please let me know. I have been resurrecting a 2MA for a while now. That's only the third bike in the garage, so plenty of space for an object of desire Luke Back to top
