time

It has been awhile since posting on here. I took my 2013 R into the dealership last week to take off my Full Akra system and replace with factory Termi system. I believe the cost for installing the system was a 4 hr job. I received a call a few minutes ago that the dealership has completed the...

I tried riding a couple ladies last year and it was straight up miserable like no other bike ever! Impossible really.. the bike makes the passenger basically lay on your back..you're their only support it seems. To say it was unbearable on the wrists was an understatement! Was it my...

Love this site. It's been a great resource for me, so I decided to finally join. :cool:

Ianonne on the #29 Ducati GP15 went 3rd fastest today!! Dovi on the #4 machine was 7th. Nicky Hayden on the crappy Drive Honda bike, ran like 18th or something on the 2nd class citizen "Open Class Bike". Only American this year. Sucks. It'll be nice to follow Suzuki GSX-RR and Aprilia's...

I'm wondering this, as the 1199 has just about stopped bending my head with its phenomenal performance. Personally, I don't expect another massive jump forward in super bike technology, so just wondering what would/could tempt me back??? - BMW are making incremental performance gains with...

This one is for the track guys. My 1199 has been promoted to full time track duty. I'm a middle intermediate pace (and gaining speed) track rider and since my bike needs new tires, won't be seeing public roads anymore, and Pirelli Superbike slicks are basically the same price as Supercorsa SPs...

:eek: it was about time... cleaning kit works well, and since i was prepping the bike anyway for the track, quickly flipped the tank off, took the filter out (2 minutes) cleaned it with the detergent in 6 liters of hot water and let it dry, after blowing the filter with air from the...

Just got back from spending the weekend at Roebing Road Raceway. The lovely summer heat was in full swing. The highest we saw at the track was 104 degrees. The heat gun showed 145 degrees for the track surface. The bike ran fantastic. No overheating problems at all. I ran Pirelli SC1 slicks...

Lots of fun first time there

Well, since I started cycling, I've found little opportunity to ride my bikes, And incredibly I just recently sold my mts to a good friend who loves it. I'll probably pick up another one down the road perhaps depending on what they do to it in upgrading in 15 or 16. But in addition to...

So, last night I met up with one of my mechanics in the workshop to spend some quality time with the Pani... Shes a nice lady, but she seems to have a severe incontinence issue since she is involuntary leaking bodily fluids from a number of places in the engine. The plan was to replace both...

I think back when Ducati released the 999. I saw it in the magazines, saw it at the 2002 Cycle World motorcycle show, and no matter what, I never liked the looks of the bike. A year later, in 2003, I started to really like the 999. It had grown on me, it looked better than ever. And even today...

Sorry, it's cheesy as f*ck, but I couldn't help it!!! Ducati - DesmoTime: arriva la sveglia firmata Ducati

Hey, I am starting to wonder if the leaking rocker cover is just something i am going to have to live with on the 1199. I have had it fix 2 times now (both times they are resealed it with the stock gasket and gasket sealant) however after sometimes it begins to leak again! Now here is my...

Finally picked up a new leftover 2013 1199 S. Came from riding a 08 zx10 the past 6 years. I live in northern Alberta so the closest dealer is 300 miles away. I bought it from a dealer 600 miles away as he was the best to deal with. It is my first Ducati and first twin I have ever ridden. I...

I know there will be different opinions on this matter but here goes. Bikes are NOT investments.You lose good money in depreciation soon as you leave the dealership - I understand that perfectly.My 2013 Pani w/ABS was $20.5k after tax. My plan was to ride it for X amount of miles,then...

The best three laps of Moto GP 2009. Rossi haters will not enjoy this, but you got to give it to him...He's the Bomb! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=138450749658971&set=vb.133126583524721&type=2&theater

I have been following this forum for a while now and this forum has been great, I have learned a lot about common issues and solutions, as well as new parts and accessories. Sort of been creating a shopping list in my mind, I'm sure everyone knows how that goes. I have been saving for a year now...

Supposed to reach 60 today in N.GA. Mtns (2/2). F'ck the Stupid Bowl. Time for a ride!
