Bad advice.

Post by stevewharton »

Just seen a post on a Ducati forum where a guy was asking for advice about buying a kettle, a bike he's always fancied owning. Someone posted a reply which said kettles are renowned for overheating and (seazing) his spelling not mine, on the centre pot (think he's getting confused with the Kawasaki 750) :roll: Another post said he'd "borrowed" one from a mate in the 70's and after 2 days the chain had stretched so much, that it was jumping the sprockets??? what was he doing, setting a new world wheelie record? Obviously talking out of their backsides, the trouble is the guy asking for advice will probably not bother now and sadly, repeat what he's heard :x
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Pm him with kettle clinic details Steve, then he might get a less biased opinion.
Unless he wants a better triple and decides on a 550 of course.......
Ducati owners getting on about other makes not being reliable eh?
Who'da thunk it?!?! :)
Proof that four strokes are over complicated
