Enjoyed that video, but maybe should have had a soft cheese too, alongside the 3 hard cheeses.

Epoisses would be a good choice I think

Also watched the Fortnine video on the Honda Rune, which...

I've driven around some of those, and they are excellent

the route around the Gorges Du Verdon is spectacular as ther are 1,000ft drops in some places around the Gorges.

you'll be ok as long as...

That looks awesome in that colour scheme... just right for summer. i'm going to test one at my local dealer.

i haven't ridden a tripple for years, so be interesting to try a new one.

The V4 1100 in my bike wasn't great either, and the gearboxes are known to be troublesome too !!

Ducati is like a Toyota in comparison

just heard .... RIP Robbie Knievel

Fully agreed Dave with self servicing where possible, and if I can service something myself I generally will.

However if there is a risk that involves carrying out a procedure that I have't got...

Thanks for your comments,

I agreed with most of them, and i did research the servicing, but did not check the pricing of said servicing, as i presumed it wouldn't be ridiculous, as it's a Ducati,...

you guys making me think of selling it now !!

however mine is a Titanium limited edition, and i spent ages looking for it, so i'll just have to swollow the cost when it becomes due.

nice selection of bikes there ....

Yes a dial indicator is the most accurate method, but you need to secure it solidly on a stand, so not practical for DIY job in a garage. screwdriver or steel rod OK for TDC as you can feel it move...

Thanks, I like those easy fixes as well. I'll check the filler cap next time.

The bike has got a smaller non standard tank, so maybe that could be contributing to an airlock in the fuel pipes

Noted.....

that must be a 2 person job so you can feel the TDC on the screwdriver and don't go beyond it

I see you're a Guzzi owner

Please i'm trying to problem solve a hot engine cut out on my V50 Cafe Racer (which has a V75 engine fitted from a 90's bike)

Basically it starts from cold perfectly...

Nice job, but how did you turn the crank to find TDC with your screwdriver ?

as Its very difficult to do on the starter motor, as I find it never stops correctly on TDC

Thanks for the correction - my memory must be going so thought i'd google it - conflicting results as some reports say he paid £35k in 1978

however the point is that's a very good ROI, even taking...

yup, that old chestnut, 'the crystal ball what if scenario'.... eg what if i'd bought that green Miura S for £60k when i offered the vendor £55k and he wouldn't take it etc.

my worst one was when...

sweet looking bike...

maybe a 120, but still looks the nuts.

(also 180's are a fortune now..)
