I realize its hard to sympathize due to the fact that most people with affluent fathers, the father would hop right in with a few G's and take care of this for them. but my father is very principled and he warned me just like some people on here that if I bought an Italian exotic, it would likely break down, and he would not be there to help with any repairs as I he knows I was overextending myself based on my salary. he knows my salary because I work for one of his companies lol...he signs the checks so to speak. he worked is way from 25 years old having one truck to owning a company that has 2000 and does 100M a year in gross revenue. he understands the value of teaching me how to work hard and accept responsibility for my actions and that is exactly what is happening right now. he said "well if the bike has to sit for a year while you save then it has to sit...sorry"...I am not asking for any sympathy...I didn't even resurrect this thread...to speak in platitudes, it is what it is. im dealing with it the best I can.

Can't understand why you would call Ducati to complain about a bike that's not your's and which you don't understand 100% of the facts.

Did you really think they would entertain you??

I believe you don't understand the fact, I complaint to Ducati about their decision in regard this gentleman's bike. I don't care If the guy was doing stopping or what ever. Ducati sell him a race bike their promoted their bike at the track, they pay for you to go a professional rider school, their give you tires warmer (who need tire warmer in the novice group) but if you .... your clutch their will look at you tires to see if you take the bike to track lol .take a look at this Ducati promotion (yes the one you saw at the dealer and the salesperson tell you that this is the best race bike in the planet and if you buy now you will look like the guy in the poster.:D

they even have a wheelie seminar/simulator at the World Ducati event. haha. how can you promote learning to wheelie but deny claims when someone does one (or is accused of doing one)? retarded. counterintuitive. hypocritical.

So is that where it stands now? You're going to sit on it for a year while getting the money together to repair it?

I just made this decision about 30 minutes ago: I will have Sebastian tear down the motor ($617) and diagnose the cause of failure. if its a bearing that is scored and clearly something from abuse (doubt it) then I will go from there. if its clearly something that shouldn't have happened we will go back to DNA with the findings. hopefully if the latter is the case, then Sebastian will go to bat for me and push DNA to cover. we will see. but not moving in any direction anytime soon is driving me insane. I have to get something going.

he does not work for D..... and secondly, the OG OP is a confused boy: is he lawyering up? is he saving his pennies to pay? is his dad paying? put another way: PICK A FUKN STRATEGY AND STICK WITH IT!

No I understand the facts you complained about a bike you read about on the internet and expected a response from Ducati.

Also Ducati have zero issues with you tracking your bike and covering it under warranty but the issue lies with the fact that you cannot enter it into a timed
event and expect it to be covered.

If I'm not mistaken the OP had it in some 1/4 mile runs and if they were official and times then you have no warranty.

There you go art. Thats a great place to start. They can tell right away once they get in there.

Smart move. 617? Wow thats cheap. Thats a big job just tearing it down.

Hopefully a positive outcome will happen!

I did have it removed per the advice of a fellow member which was a good idea. evidently this issue is pretty important/entertaining to some people as it was resurrected. and clearly me requesting the first one to be removed was pretty much as waste of time since it got brought right back up so .... it. may as well continue to share since people are so interested. on a side note, I appreciate the positive and encouraging responses in relation to my case at hand. I understand some people have no issues dropping 10k for a repair and that's great for you. im happy for you. but I'm not in that position. I continue to comment because I am curious to hear what everyone has to say about this issue. isn't that the entire point of a forum? to share and learn? rhetorical question.

Smart move Art. Hopefully when Sebastian gets into it, it's not as bad as you thought. Also at that point may be he has more information to go back to Ducati with. You know he will take care of you. It's progress.:)

this is the type of comment I appreciate. thanks Soulrider. I hope it works out. and it is progress towards my ultimate goal. the motor has to come apart at some point. I don't want to wait 3 months for a Lawyer to demand it so im skipping that part for now. when we know whats wrong we can re-..... the situation.

I wonder if all the bikes that ducati allows to be tested by all the mags and tv shows have voided warranties...those were timed...again............ now if I was running the bike every weekend, by all means...but that's certainly not the case lol.

Easy tiger

They are not official timed events where you register and enter an official track number etc, I really don't see why it's so difficult to comprehend.

Also all the journal bikes when sold to the public have a full service and come with a new warranty so if it does go bang you are covered
