    By the way, why does it say "chicken strips" on my profile, is it some randomly generated thing

    Welcome to the forum mate, nice bike even if the slowest colour ;)


    Chicken strips is what you start with and the more you post the more "experienced" you get

    Thanks, it is certainly quick enough to scare the crap out of me ! My last bike was a GPZ750 in 1994!
    Methinks top speed may have to wait for a proper sunny day...hit 168 today with loads left but just too damn windy

    No...name is prob familiar because of the character in Small Soldiers - Archer The Gorgon Warrior ! Anyway the reason I have the tag Archer is that I used to be Welsh Field Archery Champion. Not had a Ducati but wouldn't say no. My last bike was a GPZ750 back in 1994!

    That day is coming definitely - I only live 15 minutes away from Mallory Park. Will definitely do a novice day first though - 168 is easy on a nice long sweeper !
