| Post subject: | Should I sell? |
I haven't been on here for a long time due to work, life etc. My 907ie is about to go through another winter after having nothing done to it all year .I had to sell my other Italian bike (Guzzi) and buy a Tiger 800 because of a wonky shoulder. The shoulder trouble means I will probably struggle to ride the Ducati very far if I ever get it sorted. So, I thought I would sound out the forum to see If anyone is looking for an affordable, sound, 907ie that needs a few bits doing to it to get it back on the road. Me and a mate pushed it the two miles to my house a couple of years ago and I got it to start second turn after freeing of the fuel pump (which I have replaced). I can't afford to take a bath on the price but I am a realist about these things. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I'll answer your questions as soon as I can (although I will be away for the next two days). |

In answer to my own question, NO! I've dug the bike out from the corner of the garage and put it up on a hydraulic ramp. That way it won't get forgotten about. It's obvious that it will be much easier to sell as a road-worthy machine, so it's time to start a rolling program of end to end maintenance and fettling. Long term, I don't think I will be able to keep it though; I'm waiting to find out what they are going to do to/with my knackered shoulder. My main bike is a Triumph Tiger 800xc, and the riding/handlebar position is O.K. for me; Merely sitting on the Ducati causes all sorts of shoulder, knee and back twinges. Shame though, the Ducati 907 is a lovely and rare thing indeed. |
