Yeh, got ya FE! Miss lots about the UK, but I don’t miss the riding weather! Guess it makes the first available riding day pretty special though! Makes me think of Ogri and Malcolm riding around with icicles slowly forming from their noses.
To scared to ride something we can’t get spare parts for or working on something that don’t get you from point A to B without breaking down
That has got VERY red springs Stu !There you go
I've been thinking about replacing my Cafe clip-ons with ABM clip-ons.
Very nice V2D3, I reckon the train would come off second best in that encounter! Bloody unlucky though, breaking down on a train line!!? Unless you plan on having those (free-flowing) spares delivered by rail that is, then, amazingly fortuitous really!To scared to ride something we can’t get spare parts for or working on something that don’t get you from point A to B without breaking down
I know. I know. Negatron.
And I also know this isn’t a Ducati forum.
I think about raised clip-ons or the high bar conversion every time I unfold my aching old frame off of my CR. I can survive out to 150km or so but anything more is torture. It’s definitely in my future as long as I can make it work with the Thruxton fairing I intend (eventually) to fit.

Nice shop dude !I don’t believe I’ve ridden the Domi since that picture was taken in September 26 2020.
A train load of spares would be great. Unfortunately, no such spares available for the Domi chassis.
The Commando was ridden once this past August, it ran out of fuel 3 miles from my house as I forgot to add fresh fuel after being stored the previous winter.
Great looking workshop - don’t see the beer fridge though!!I don’t believe I’ve ridden the Domi since that picture was taken in September 26 2020.

I've been caught out numerous times like that with my 1098, which runs the same thermistor low fuel warning set up. The fuel light would come on whilst riding home....no problem, got enough to get home. Won't run the bike for a few weeks, jump on and set off. A couple miles down the road the fuel light would come back on...no problem, got plenty....nope...run out 10 miles later. The thermistor takes too long to heat up again once cooled, to remake the warning light circuit.I don’t believe I’ve ridden the Domi since that picture was taken in September 26 2020.

Thank you. Little bit of a mess at the moment lol.
Well I thought that, but didn’t want to appear rude …
It’s personal taste of course, but to my eye the red carbon doesn’t look ‘right’.What a beauty!
Here are pictures of my bike not riding.
I decided to take out the pipes out for ceramic coating(the end mufflers will stay chrome) and the starter, clutch cover and oil pump for a grainy powder coating.
I opened up the starter to remove the shell for paint and it didn’t look good from the inside so I send it to the starter guys… Over the phone I told them it’s a DENSO starter, they got it and called me up and told me the starter is 100% cheap Chinese starter
But to my surprise I do have the seal inside there which many came with it….
Also got an Oberon clutch slave in gold and black, the gold looks amazing and I really liked it on Ducati, Aprilia and MV.. I took the black one also just in case it will pimp to much.
No I need to order the carbon wheels but having hard time to choose between the red or the gold ones…. It’s going to look very exotic in my opinion.
Yes it’s a personal taste, it’s like red wine color and if no sun on it it almost looks black…. I like it.. Exotic MV style, I’m not afraid from colors…
Just the fact that no spares are available for the Domi at all.Great looking workshop - don’t see the beer fridge though!!
What chassis spares are keeping you off the road with the Domi, for such a long period?
