Clean looking Duc, is it as well under all that fairing?

It's def carb related we think, the guy looking at it next week thinks he knows what the problem is. Fingers crossed.

The Duc is immaculate, don't think it's ever seen rain!

Poor thing is in for a bit of a shock now, then

Not yet. My pillion seat is fine, and Pete will just have to suffer for a while

That is absolutely gorgeous, nice one

Glad you ended up getting it! I want one now. Sat on a 916 at bassetts and fell in love with it...
Hope to see it sometime!

Lovely bike.......now you might get a bit slower for the rest of us to catch up with you LOL

But I never realised there were bike with diesel engines

To be perectly honest, it's not much faster than my SV but the handling and braking were absolutely sublime.

Damn you Lozzo - now trawling Ebay for 748s. Not sure they'd stand up to the 7k a year though.....
