Well after 2 year break from trackdays and on the road I decided to get the boys out and running..

They are ducatis so after 2 years I thought I might be in with a job.

916, new battery fitted checked over all good.

No starter,solenoid gone.

Jumped the terminals and away she went.

Forgot how loud termignonis are.

749r been stood in mancave for 4 years looking sexy.

New battery and check over,both were stored dry so new fuel and holy crap.

1st push of button.will mot it this week and head out if its dry.

A productive day

I know alot of peeps dont like the 749,999 but I find it hard to choose between that and the 916.

But yeah 916 is a work of art.

Tyres were new on both bikes,749 hasnt even been out on them

Lol everything was done just before covid hit,tyres,chain sprockets,oil ect.

Was getting ready to take 916 to Portugal and ended up having a couple years off.

Need to get out now
