Done a weeksy and bought another superduke.
08 in orange, few mods just sorting a few bits to it.
Been away from the forum for a bit, been racing, crashed lots and had a lot of misfortune, decided to stop throwing money away and just enjoy riding for a bit.
But may end up racing the superduke. Who knows

Welcome back! I've missed the Brit banter.
I thought putting Monster stickers on your bike was an American thing. Good to see there are uhhh... those types everywhere.

The monster stickers/renthal bars and orange grips were first to go! Had the original bars but opted for some Rizoma ma010's I had lying about.
What's with all this 1290 talk anyway? My 990 superduke has more suspension adjustment
The 3 year old metzeler road tyres on it are proper junk, they need to go....
Steering damper is being sorted shortly getting a little shake at high speed so need one.
It's like riding an armchair after what I have been riding.

Welcome back Dan, by the looks you have had a trying few years racing, entertaining though.
Place is somewhat subdued since you left. Must all the 1290 riders..........

Welcome back to the fold mate. There is so much 1290 stuff on here I've lost a bit of interest lately. 990's still do it for me.
4 days at Portimao last week reaffirmed my love for my SDR.
Flat out on wets was a real buzz. Hope you can join us on the next trip. Spain in the autumn we think.

Wow. This thread's avatars read like old times from 5 or 6 years ago.
Welcome back Dan, looking forwards to hearing about your crashes. I have quite a lot of bits and spares so if you need anything let me know - I'm trying to get rid of a lot because I'm might be moving to a place with less storage.

I didnt change any of the panels myself, but i believe it had the 07+ tank and shrouds and yes i got crispy to do the designs for it. good quality and extremely thick, just a bit unresponsive and took his time thats all. But it got there in the end.
I will for sure miss that bike

Now get Ducati Pete and Stupid Luke back in here to inject some fooking life into this forum.
That Icon lid is gorgeous.
I've had my eye on this one, I've always had solid colors (black) so it seems a bit weird to me.

Did you get the slower black framed SDR or the faster orange frame?
Bic is still the forum's Master rim tape installer. He'll be happy to help.
PS: No. 47, You are next. 2017's are calling you.

Aye, still not convinced 2017 is way to go with all the Euro 4 crap so looking for 'new' orange framed earlier version - both 990 SDRs are here for keeps, though.

I'm a bit pissed off as I had to pay for the performance pack which ain't cheap. If I was a 17 year old girl I probably would have chosen the orange, but obviously went for black

Still debating 1290 or 1100 Tuono for next year.

I had a saunter on the road last year, just feels slow after track days.
1290 does look good especially in track trim I could be swayed.

KTM Centre in Hemel Hempstead.
So had first service today, track pack turned on and I have to say I'm loving the throttle response of the track setting I'm on track on Monday and Tuesday at Cadwell, will post up when I get back.

Still waiting to get exhaust work done and then on the dyno. Thats the last thing I'll be doing for a while. Don't think I'm going to bother with an aftermarket airbox. Just not sure it is worth the £ per HP when the bike is hardly short of grunt already.
Mods so far.
K&N air filter (not fitted yet)
Gilles rearsets
Gripster Snakeskin
R&G engine cases and tank cover
Powerparts seat and pillion seat cover
Evotech tail tidy
LSL straight bars
