Pedro Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Tomorrow I shall take Costa out for a little walk in the morning, and then getting on my bike and riding home. It's a 2,5 hour motorway ride but I've got a feeling it'll take way longer than that as I'll check out some smaller roads that look twisty on the map. Unless the weather is shitty. Ducati is currently touring Portuguese dealers with a couple of DesertX bikes for showing them off and they're close by today, but I'm resisting going to see them as the local dealership is so unfriendly. I am tempted to give one a proper look in a few months once they're out though, what you think of that engine @boboneleg? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun is planned, so I’ll be meeting up for Saturday breakfast first. Then I’ve got a 1hr40 B road pootle planned for the running-in journey home. Gonna be a good day, nothing beats a new bike day. I knew you wouldn't keep that bloated barge long! This is a surreal experience for me......somebody beating me in bike buying! Cos since we started 2 years ago I've had two bikes.....6 months with the Strom and 18 months with the Beemer! You must have had about 6 since then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were chatting about this in work the other day with an Italian customer that has built a supermoto racer out of a 1100 Scrambler. We all agreed that they should have used the air cooled engine (800 or 1100) instead of the 939 water cooled engine. That's what Ducati intended in the begining, it'll be interesting to see why they changed their minds and how it works out. It certainly looks the part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear cylinder heat issues with the fairing/tank? I'm very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I’m thinking positive thoughts about Sunday @XTreme because I’m getting two wheeled withdrawal symptoms. The plan is to kick that DR into life (wouldn’t start today ) or bump start the thing and get it to my mates place where we can give it a bit of a going over to make sure it’s at least ‘safe’ to ride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
