riding

63 here in beautiful St Louis!!!! Uncovered and racing around town looking for earplugs!

Right, should ideally be within a 30min ride from your home/base. Twistier the better :D So, this is a section from a 30km climb in the mountains near me. Lots of 90 & 180 bends:

Anyone ever carry a passenger on their Diavel? For any kind of long distances?

Winter time seems to have set in. Who is still riding?

I recently aquired an 848, I'm about 5'10" tall and found the riding position very hard on the wrists, I was hoping that some of you have owned a 848 prior to owning a 1199 and to get some input, I love the 1199 and have given it lots of thought, sat on one at a dealer, no way to tell about...

After riding my Panigale in 45 degree weather, in a mesh Ducati leather jacket that lets the air right through (it was a great idea this summer!) - I was wanting to find what others wear in 50 and below degrees - either under your mesh leathers, or instead of.

I'm on the verge of getting an enduro bike, so I can learn the art of dirt riding :D How many of you guys do this in addition to road riding? Thinking of a Husqvarna TE310, which seems to be a decent tool. Gonna be a totally different ownership and riding experience, but should be fun and...

I got out of the bike community a few years ago and want back in. My issue is that I have had two shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) since Jan 2012. My last surgery was Aug 21st and was extensive to say the least. I have 7 anchors holding my shoulder in a socket that had bone shaved and removed...

:D (Post your "don't you hate it when..." exp) - The traffic sensors don't read your bike.... - You get a squid reving the .... out of their bike to try and drag race you at the light. - When your riding behind someone that uses their washer fluid! - when your riding in a group and...

Man cannot live by Ducati alone.

This thread "http://ducati1199.com/mechanical-technical/1447-vibrations-handlebars.html" got me to thinking about my position on the bike relative to where and the type of riding I'm doing. I found that I have three distinct positions: Highway, Street and Twisties/Canyons (we don't have canyons...

Vacationing in San Diego right now and damn am I jealous of those that live and ride here. The riding weather here is freaking awesome. Makes me ready for fall back home so I can ride in something other than ridiculously hot temps.

Someone comes up with the concept that you have to name your new Italian 2 wheeled girlfriend....wattaya gonna call the b*tch! I have to go with Angelina; (though Contessa was a close second!) And you guys? Remember...it's all in fun over a few brews...so lighten up "Francis"...you...

Got a 2 week vacation coming up and been thinking of trailoring the Pani and my wife's Can-Am somewhere on the East Coast. Any ideas where one can find the best mix of beaches and riding areas?

So I live in Texas where it gets to over 100 degrees F on a regular basis in the summer. Sometimes for a month or more of 100+ days in a row. I'm looking for a riding jacket that I'll be able to wear and not be completely miserable. I use to have a Joe Rocket Phoenix but never quite felt that it...

I finally had a chance to see/hear and sit on a S/ABS with full Termi's this weekend. Unfortunately I haven't been fortunate to ride it yet. I thought I'd still add another person's thoughts about the riding position and full Termi's though. We all know the bike is sexy as all could be so I dont...

I was just thinking about the flexibility of the riding modes and DES and having watched the video of how to program the modes, I think Ducati might have missed a trick.... When I'm on the road, the wet/sport/race modes should be OK. I'll probably tweak these modes here and there, but the three...

I am just curious, how many riders have gotten in an accident and still rides? My story: Riding 45mph local street 11:30pm at night, car turn left in front of me and my bike goes straight into there passenger door, bike indo's and i fly head on into the back window. I walked away with no...
