Sweepstake.

Ducati levers used to be exactly the same unit as fitted to the Mille,
and a third of the price. Maybe they fit the Tuono as well.

 

Between 1974, when I passed my test, and now (cars included so you don't miss the list
altogether):

Honda PC50 (crashed & written off)
Spitfire 1500 (fell to bits and abandoned)
Land Rover Discovery (well, half of it, jointly with my gf)
BMW R1200RT

I am the ultimate anti-Nige.

AFAIK Ducati, Guzzi and Aprilia MC and levers are Brembo OEM.

Back in 2001 I broke a front brake lever on my Guzzi V11s: 130¤ from
Guzzi, 43¤ from Ducati (996 one) and 36¤ for a genuine Brembo from
Valpolini, Stucchi or Agostini at Mandello.

Motomecca sells Brembo brakle parts:

You what?

Don't you have a legal expenses policy with your bike/house cover?

 

Yes, this is through the solicitors from Auntie Carole.

It's different for MIB claims, apparently.

 

TS Suzukis aren't rubbish.

yep. the snowdrops and daffs are popping up, i should think the falco will
be in bike trader by the end of the month.

 

Well, there's motivation for me. I keep meaning to get it cleaned so I
can get photos, but other (Italian) things keep taking priority.

Problem is, I can't imagine anyone wants to pay a decent wedge for my
current past-its-best, lardy-arsed, sports-tourer at the moment, given
the weather and the financial situation.

I suppose I should just stick it on Autotrader and/or eBay, and see what
happens...

 

Oi, gedoff!

 

heh

<motivates eddie some more>

yes, it's black, with an rsv swing arm, ohlins rear shock. first registered
in france, but derestricted now. 35k miles. photos on request.

 

Hmmm... Ohlins... curvy swing arm...

 

Bloody right. The single fairing side I had to buy for the Blackbird
was the thick end of £300,

ISTR Mark Reid's went the same way after a low speed skittle.

Cheers,

Paul.
