I was at a local Ducati dealership and they were holding a seminar about the Superquadro motor. Here is part of the day and cool info behind it. Thought I'd share

Thanks so much for posting these. Everything about these engines looks so complex compared to the 4 cylinder engines I have worked on. The engine casings are incredibly complex and those Pistons are just freaking HUGE!!!

Cheers.

Kyle Thompson is the Rain Man of Ducatis in the U.S.
That guy's passion has yet to falter.

Thanks for these; great to see. And great to hear someone's got 60K miles on one. I need to get out and ride more...

No man, I wish I did, my arms got tired holding the camera. Next time I go, which is next year. I'll try to do a audio recording of the whole seminar and you guys listen to it. I'm sure you can relate while he talks about a motor with all the names and acronyms. Kyle is great, his stories and years of experience. His creativity from working on bikes over the years, he's made new tools and lifehacks from his experience on Ducati motors.

Were you there at the seminar?

No, sorry. But I've known Kyle since his days at BCM. It's crazy how lucky we are to have him in the North East. My favorite part is how detailed he goes into stuff, and I just sit there with barely any clue about what the hell he's talking about. He seriously knows his stuff.

Yeah he should have a autobiography. Super careful and detailed. I'm super confident about his abilities and only have him work on my 1199.
Did you know you can request which tech work on your bike and you can spectate in the shop. Try asking that at Riverside.
