Eric Vloemans recently posted this photo of his Dalinci Ducati 944 FF on the FF Facebook group with the following update on progress:
"It's registered, insured and functional. Last year I mounted a new engine (old one had bad bearings), and painted everything. It has been on the road for +/- 300km, which allowed me to make some minor improvements.
In answer to the question, "What's it like to ride?" Eric replied:
"Lots of fun! Riding very relaxed and comfortable at cruising speeds, as well as feeling the acceleration and speed just above the ground. Steering and suspension are fully OK. Emergency braking causes the front wheel to slip if the rear brake is not activated enough. On the next build I would activate one front disc and the rear brake together, and the right hand working on the other front disc. Also quite some chain noise, but this is improved by putting a second pinion on the top half of the chain.."
Note that in contrast to the previous photos the frame is now painted, black.
