Wish I'd have known, I could have met you for breakfast

 

[ELVISTO]

I wouldn't have guessed Gill
Haven't been out on the scrambler for 3 weeks now, must get that new rear tyre fitted then I'll give you a buzz for a meet up

 

[ELVISTO]

I was up there yesterday for Brekkie,

Can't make it today ! Dentists I'm afraid

 

[ELVISTO]

Oh thats a shame Gill we're all going to go next week

 

[ELVISTO]

ps, I may go on my new bike,

 

[ELVISTO]

Gill, no, no, no,

But I do like the XR 1000 Though,

first clue , It's a twin, not a 4, doesn't say you'll get any more clues though

And what do I win Steve, after all I do use Wurth chain lubricant

 

[ELVISTO]

You've already had your quota of guesses Gill,

 

[ELVISTO]

Graham I think you are exempt from this competition unless you don't know what you bought. My guess is Moro guzzi audace. Biggest twin I can think of.
If it's shaft drive you won't need the chain lube.

Thats true Steve

 

[ELVISTO]

Honda Vultus?

No, wrong, I already have one of those sorry

 

[ELVISTO]

It's not made in Japan but could this throw you off the scent

 

[ELVISTO]

It's RED you can only buy them in RED,

 

[ELVISTO]

That's correct Littleowl , have you been talking to someone at Woods, you crafty little monkey, or did you see me up the Ponderosa yesterday and were hiding from us,

But you still have to guess the model

 

[ELVISTO]

No more clues :toothy2: :toothy4:

 

[ELVISTO]

It's non of those, But very very close, I'll post a picky later, not much left is there, ? You can only buy it in RED,

 

[ELVISTO]

I keep telling you they now only do it in RED,

Simon named them all apart from the right one

I took a picture , first time out on Saturday,

 

[ELVISTO]

Neglected, Neglected, It doesn't know what neglected is, one of my bikes hasn't been out for at least 3 years, ,

Do I get the can of chain oiler then

 

[ELVISTO]

Gill was closest, after I sent her the picture

Yes, you can have a ride on it

 

[ELVISTO]

Just for you I'll let the tyres down Gill, Should be ok then

Yes it is Simon

 

[ELVISTO]

I shall be up the Ponderosa this morning guys, and gals
Can't stop long , I have a parcel being delivered so I have to be back pretty sharpish

Simon , Ducati have done a couple of mods on the Hyperstrada since you must have ridden it,
You can only buy it in red,
it has a 160 mm ground clearance, (not 178mm)
and the seat hight is 810 mm (with std seat) 25mm lower with the low seat,
It's much tamer than the Hypermotard, I've been using it in touring mode so far,
They only do the one model now,
Only downside, heated grips not in stock Whats new still awaiting Scrambler ones too

It also suits me better than the Multi because of its much lighter weight, ( I'm not getting any younger )

 

[ELVISTO]

Thanks Steve, Nice to see you again, and thanks for the chain lube, Sorry it was a brief visit, But I had to get back and the weather was crap anyway, poured down all the way back as you know,

MJ ! I was told they only make the one HyperStrada now, It's the low one like mine and they only do it in RED, I did wonder if it would effect the ground clearance when cornering, but it doesn't , I've used the edges of the tyre and not grounded anything, YET
I'm just over 6ft tall with an inside leg of 31" in my stocking feet, and the standard seat is fine I can flat foot easily, Steve who's a little shorter than me had a sit on and he thought it was fine,

A BMW GS was parked next to me when we came out from breakfast, WOW did it look tall , and heavy perhaps because they are
