Hey all new here be gentle on me!!
Well couldnt sleep so thought i would sign up and share some pics of my bike with you all.

Names Ollie 25 and from Northampton, been riding sports bikes since 19 with my 1st being a K1 GSXR 600, (it died after 4 months hit a VOLVO not my fault)
So liked that allot and brought a K3 GSXR 750, Awsome bike, sold that to venture in to performance jap cars (subaru) got bored and decided to full fill a long Dream of owning a Ducati looked for a while and found this one



and a really bad one of me with the bike



i must admit the bike is everythig i thought it would be, but was a slow learning curve to learn to ride after the 4cylinder machines, still not 100% comfey on it but am getting there

Ollie

stunning bike - those shiny polished pipes make me feel embarresed and make me want to hang my head in shame at the state of mine
