Frankly I’m amazed you let me join….
Hi All; back on 2-wheels after 6 (?) years or so without. Really enjoyed the little 390 Duke this Summer. And the Global warming…….
Thanks for letting me in - banter looks amusing

We're nice like that.
I remember you from your email but very little in the way of details

Hello.
Bike looks sweet.....and from your post on the workshop thread....I've seen messier and more disorganised operating theatres.

I’d like to tell you I planned / prepped for those pics. But alas: it’s always kept that way.
I have ‘issues’…….

It's either going to be a massive bromance or WW3 between the clean freaks.

Why-so.....what you into 'cleaning' ?
I'm not into cars that much really. I just enjoy the solitude, time alone, process of Detailing and improving something.
I carry that across to lots of things. Just thought cars made better mainstream viewing.........

Re: Frankly I’m amazed you let me join….
I'm almost embarrassed to post here cos, well, I hate cleaning bikes! Cars get 'done' with a jet wash to keep the salt off them in the winter
But, I do so miss having a 390 Duke!!! Awesome piece of kit
When I got my first big bike a mate said "bring it round on bank holiday and we can clean both the bikes" I had to reply with "I'll be out riding"
