Need new tires on the Africa Twin now. Just trying to milk these for as long as it's not raining.
14XXX trouble free miles so far.
Ducati can seem to suffer from “summer slow down”, which seems a very Italian problem.
I’m also thinking of swapping the Diavel for something else. Really loved it, even with Ducati reliability and parts availability.
But with some weight loss I can fit on a more sporty bike, plus wouldn’t mind something that’s cheaper to run (our insurance here - compulsory third party personal - is horrendous on capacity over 1100), makes me think about some names litre-ish bike. Easy to ride, can get throu bad traffic but also fun to carve a windy road.
The Boxster gets most of the fun trips, but I still enjoy getting pegs down!
If you like tempting fate and doom whith a wheelie machine. V4 Tuono is beastly.
Agreed. I’m old and mature enough to covet nakeds over sports bikes these days.
Tuono
Duke
MT
Etc
All give me stiffys.
Whilst I'm still young in my Tuono ownership, I think 'next' for me is an MT-10. Make it so!
In reference to parts and availability, just got told a part for my Porsche Boxster is not available. That’s usual, ok so it’s coming from Melbourne overnight? No - not in Australia, must come from Germany!
So what unusual part is so rare that it is not in stock in the country?
A brake disc!
Yes a set of rear discs for a model made two years ago.
At least I know the Germans will get it moving quicker than the Italians.
Begs the question: why do you need discs for a car that’s two years old?
