He had a bit a of a wobble when the electrics failed on his way home but it turned out to be a loose battery terminal so easily sorted and his grin soon returned!
Phew glad he likes it :)

Depends.. i think he did 50m in the car park.
I've just measured the car park and it's 80m round trip and I did it twice :)

I'll say this.

He's not owned one before.

Nor test ridden

Nor even sat on one!

I'm.not even sure he's seen one in real life!

Not owned one before, that rules out 90% of motorcycles.

Is it a Dnepr Outfit?

So the SD went and I’d planned to buy nothing till I saw a bike I’d never really looked at, only 1500 miles and just had a big service. Some extras too, so I chucked in a low offer and to my surprise it was accepted, oh lol.
So I went to collect today, got it home and went through the boxes of bits. Swapped seat for a taller one it came with, took awful number plate holder off and took for a spin round the block. Feels fairly good so I’ll take for a longer ride tomorrow. So far so good and it was cheap enough to take the gamble, anyway it’s a Ducati scrambler full throttle. It says born free on the fuel cap too 🤣

I quite like the Scambler, but in't it a bit wee and nesh (as the Pony would say), for a big boy like you?

My first thought yeah but it’s bigger than it looks and feels fine sat on it tbh
