Mia stanca ! Been out all day on the multi. Much Wenlock then over the Bur way to Clun then onto Newton and back through Welshpool and Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, called in the Buycott Arms near Pattingham for diet coke ( on diet) and home 6pm been out since 10.15.
My new sat Nav Zumo 390LM arrived but it's going on the multi as problem with mount for the Zumo 550. So the 550 will stay on Scrambler

Nipped out on the little 125 to get some more practice in and try out my new helmet (Quick pic of the wee man trying in on for size):

Also spotted my first Scrambler (Yellow Icon) whilst I was out. Rider totally blanked me as I saluted him. Penis :angry7:

Mmm not very friendly then, perhaps they had just taken delivery and were concentrating real hard! Watch the little man he will be wanting a test ride next!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

I had a call from the dealer. I pick up my Icon tomorrow! :cool-28:

Welcome you will love it I'm sure

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Just had my Classic valeted after the weekend away in wet and windy Scotland. It looks brand new again now

The Pani (which isn't too bad) is being done as I type

My husband is my valeter!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

If he can come to Holmfirth and do them next time for the same money then the job's his

In return I clean cars, look after garden. Washing and ironing, all cleaning of house any DIY and project management. Michael does shopping and cooking and washes all dishes
Still keen?

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Hey that's how Snow White was tricked! If you wash cook clean and sew for us , you can live in our house said the 7 dwarfs!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Steve , I spoke to them this morning and ordered from as well as rear!! Had such a blast after I left you and was thinking this bikes a keeper so I will treat her!!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Filled up the tank ready for a weekend ride!

Stop teasing! Think I am stuck this weekend but if not I'm going to terrorise the Welsh Tarmac again!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Slept with Michael a bonus cause he poorly and at home and I on nights!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Enlisted a neighbour to help Michael fit the Dart screen. I will haven't seen the result yet will post up am.
Michael and I went for a spin this morning. His first ride since his accident. He did well only been any 5 weeks since broke his atm

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Loving the Dart screen weird although it's small no more wobbly head!!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Today I got my Scrambler all loaded up for a 5 day 1100 mile ride, with about 50% of it all off pavement. The first 250 miles is to get to the beginning of the route, and the last 250 miles is to get home from the end, but the rest is all dirt. We will be camping along the way. This is what I'm up to: Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail

Time to see if my Scrambler can scramble! Wish me luck!

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

looks great write up and pics of trip pls

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Thinking about the Dart screen too, any pictures Duchess?

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

It looks great Duchess, better than any I've seen. My problem is feeling all the buffetting on my torso, has this improved the 'sail' effect?
Much appreciated.

Depends on ur height as to the aero dynamics, for me I no longer have that feeling of being ripped off the bike at higher speeds

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Ordered r and g kickstand shoe

Kickstand Shoe for Ducati Scrambler '15- PKS0071SI

 

[The Duchess of Desmo]

Yes you definitely look the part! :icon_thumright:

I went on a ride to Leominster again and Dom's Bike Stop to sample more of their fab food. I was about to have another brekkie but spotted a board which said Lamb Burgers from their own Shropshire sheep. Well I had to try that - it was amazing! . Then went on to see my friend who lives near Ludlow. Only she lives up the Brown Clee Hill (Shropshire's highest hill) and the lane to her house is up a steep hill, and covered with gravel/rocks and potholes. To say this was the worst road I've ever been on a bike was an understatement! . It was bloody awful and with the snatchy throttle of the bike making progress even more difficult I was sweating by the time I got to the top (which seemed to go on for ever). I thought that coming down would be easier - it was marginally, but not much! . I was so relieved I didn't drop the bike, I think that next time I visit the bike will be parking at the bottom of the hill and I will walk!

Rexxer would sort the throttle

Holy moly, got home from an outing and the Zard was here, it's now been fitted it up and ready to go (only took about 15 mins) but I have kid duty tonight so it'll have to wait to morning to test out. I don't think I'm gonna sleep very well tonight - a little excited. :hello2:

Brilliant! Hope it lives up to expectations!
I went for a short spin yesterday
