Hello everyone new member here from the Uk I have a 900ie 2001 and a Darmah 900SD 1980, came to Ducati around twenty years ago after owning several British blkes mainly Norton and BSA and then got sidetracked onto Laverdas, a 750 SF3 and an early Jota. Belong to the UKMOC and have been riding since 1970 so I guess you could call me a new oldie. Atb Steve
Welcome to our international community!
My brother has a '01 900ieS. Nice bike and in many ways pick of the M900s imo. Injection (and hot cams straight from the factory). [thumbsup] You've owned quite a few beaties there too.
Cheers.
Hi Koku and thanks, you can call me old fashioned if you like or traditional but I think the ie's with analogue tacho and speedo and the Sie's with adjustable forks are about as good as biking gets, no LCD displays or immobilisers to foul things up! Atb Steve
Yeah my old "diesel" M900 is awesome. I love it.
This is a great place. Good for you I had insomnia, made for a prompt welcome! ;D
Theres just something about the 2 valve 900's, this will probably be my last or as we say here ' this ones so good its a keeper '
Hope the insomnia doesn't last too long I'm guessing you are in the US, I spent nine years in the Royal Navy and got to visit New Orleans around 1978, what a three weeks that was............Atb Steve
Na, Aussie ;D
Nearly made it to Woomera but got drafted to sea instead, never got to Oz but retirement is just round the corner so one day maybe, Atb Steve
Cheers Steve, and once again, welcome.
If you have some nice pics of your Drahmah... please don't post them here... it will only make me even more regretful [bang]
And.... welcome aboard [thumbsup]
Thanks for the welcome people, where did I put that pic of the Darmah by the river at sunset, must be here somewhere..........atb Steve
