Members Bike - CTT's Ducati Sport 1000

**CrossTownTraffic** · 16 Jan 08, 10:59 PM

Not sure how it happened only went to have a look and ended up riding it home, was very happy with my Aprillia and was not really looking to change but had seen the Sports Classics at the NEC show and that was it really. Only thing that put me off was the asking price. Then found this one which is 12 months old with 408 miles on it, 2 into 1 Termignoni, raised clip ons plus all the original bits and could not resist. Sometimes wonder if it was a bit spur of the monent and did I do the right thing; but then I go and look at it and yep sure that I did.

Welcome CTT, as a newbie will you be standing round at the virtual bar? If so i'll have a Guinness please

. Nice bike, looks great in black.

Not only have you done the right thing by getting a Ducati but what a great looking one at that. I have ridden an SC with the twin Termis on and that sounded awesome, especially on the overrun. I bet that single pipe sounds great too.

Heres hoping the weather clears up for you to get acquainted with it. Have you told your neighbours that they need to have tougher windows fitted?!

Regards,

Spike

Lovelly to see the old cafe racer style back, reminds me of my Triton when I was 17. Those tyres too resemble the old Pirelli Phantoms. Great looking bike .

Welcome, great looking and probably sounding bike. Aprilia is not bad buty Ducati is the one and only. See you in SE London on a monster and I hope soon on 996.

welcome ctt, just to say your at the right place for banter, p*** taking, sarcasm., but in all seriousness, a generally very helpful and informative bunch of all round good guys, (and lasses)..

Welcome to the site, CTT. Your taste in bikes and forums is impeccable. Hope you get the weather and time to enjoy both

Hi CTT and welcome. The bike looks really nice. Being an "oldie" I love the cafe racer style.

CTT, welcome to the Ducati scene!

As everyone says great bike, and yes you did do the right thing!

**CrossTownTraffic** · 17 Jan 08, 08:50 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome feel at home already. My wife owns a S2R Monster (Yellow and Balck) so we are a proper Ducati family now.

I'll will keep an eye out for you monster learner as SE London for me is also Lewisham.

Just got to get mine serviced.

Fine looking piece of gear CTT, hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do out of mine. Regards, Rob
