Good Morning,

I've been a member here for years but haven't posted in a long time.

I've just moved to London from Oz, Xrap #202 is still in Australia - so if any of the Aussies see an Xrap going through Ginger's Creek that'll be my dad.

I've no idea if I'll get another Rap but you never know

X-Raptor #202. PCII, CF Bellypan,blinker pods and front guard, Staintunes and a Ti Clevis pin because saving 15grams REALLY IS worth an extra 20 quid :-)

Possibly true, supposedly Oz is Ducati's biggest market after US and Italy (never checked that, could be bollox).

Would make sense - Feeney only bought one shipment of Xtras in if I'm not mistaken - the Cagiva factory was pretty cash strapped and they were doing batches of bikes and then shutting down for 3months. Supposedly he'd order a crate of parts and what he'd get wouldn't even remotely match what he ordered.

I'm not sure who the MV Agusta importer is now - Feeney got cut out of the loop when HD briefly bought them.

(yes the Ti Clevis pin purchase was rather tongue in cheek and 15g is probably an exaggeration - probably only 2g saved ! But I get to say it has Titanium parts !! ;-)

Thanks mate, I did a quick weekend trip to Edinburgh the other day and drove through Carlisle - looks like there'd be some good back roads not too far from you for a good blast.

Would not surprise me - HD and Ducati are the two "hot" brands sold by my local Fraser's stealership, I do think they've deliberately targetted the pose-factor market there.

LOL, you're in good company round here mate, I actually bought some black titanium pushbike parts so I could have titanium holding the "horns" on, saving maybe 1.5 grams, this blooming internonsense just makes it too easy to find rare and expensicve exotica these days! :haha:
