Hi Tony
I spoke to Mike yesterday and yours isn't due in until Monday. I did ask and I did look for you.
I went out for about 45 minutes this morning for a first ride. I cannot fault it at all.
It will burble along slowly or really kick if you want it to.
No issues with stalling, neutrals or suspension.
In fact, with my new Shoei Air helmet on and the sun visor down it was nice And quiet and smooth. The gearbox is a dream.
I can't wait to go out again for longer.
You won't be disappointed.

Glad to hear you are really enjoying the new ride Simon
Blimey I wonder if it will get there as was due last Wednesday but on Thursday was told either that day or or Friday....have sorted insurance out for switch over for Wednesday afternoon as advised by Mike so hopefully Monday it will be!
Glad you like it, obviously you're going to ignore the sign.
What helmet did you change from ?
I'm wondering about the Shoei air next as I have an XR1100 and really like it but was hoping for the Air to be a bit quieter.
Looks good with the Urban seat, not too racey and not too retro like my Enduro. like it.
Sorry to butt in, but I know the leather document wallet will not fit under the seat. What you do get though is a tool kit wrapped in a nice canvas pouch with Scrambler written across it.By the way I appreciate you enquired after the Icon on my behalf
Did you get the fancy Ducati wallet thingy? Just wondering if it fits under the seat or I may need to take a bag with me...
It's green like the Urban which is nice but it will suit your bike too.

Looking great, have loads of fun (you will! ).
TC3 so glad you are finally near to getting yours, the handbook no way will it fit under the seat, the space there is minimal, just about big enough for a phone! You will def need some kind of rucksack or tailback/tankbag. I take a waist bag for bare essentials and a rucksack if I'm going farther afield!

Little owl the US10 bag can take A4 easily enough and I assume the folder is no bigger than that. I remember you have the evotech bungs. I was hoping to get a measurement of the engine bolt that was replaced by the evotech bolt. Do you have it to hand by any chance?

It's a small black folder like you get with a car. I didn't get one of those fancy leather ones. Glad I took the van to collect. It never would have crossed my mind I would have needed to carry anything.Si apologies for hijacking your thread
