today

Apologies but unable to scan/upload but in a 4-way shootout with the HP4, RSV and MV, 1199r comes top, although it was set up by the factory. Finally collecting mine may 11th with some choice goodies being fitted as we speak.

Just FYI, 2 Wheel DynoWorks will be there today. No tuning, but you can dyno your bike. 2 Wheel DynoWorks

I did my normal early morning riding this morning. About a 150 mile run out to some neat country roads, stop for a peaceful cup of coffee and back home. I live in the SE suburbs of Houston about halfway between Houston and Galveston. I'm heading for home and have to do about a five mile...

Just picked up a 2013 base Panigale today. Riding it around today(~70 miles) it stalled three times. First time, it stalled while waiting at a stop light idling in Neutral. Other two times, it stalled while coming to a stop in first gear, clutch disengaged. The bike has no problems...

Some of ya'll have seen my posts the past few months, and some probably figured I was a troll and would have been happy to see me go. But I most assuredly was not a troll, and today I made the deal. The bike is bought and paid for, but still at the dealer. I'm having it delivered to my house...

Whilst I am told it is wrong to do so; starting my bike for the first time in 6 months and letting it warm up. Too much snow to get out, but I needed to hear the reassuring noise of that engine turning over. No problem with starting, although some smoke and an light oily smell. Nothing that...

So I had just loaded up the Pani for it's trip out west with the shippers. Felt bad as it pulled away. I knew the only thing to cure those blues was going to be a ride on the Bayliss 1098R. Pulled it out onto the local parkway and was cruising along in my usual mildmhooligan manner (=...

My dealer just called me today to let me know that Ducati has sent an email out addressing the heat and are preparing to send out update kits to address the issues on the 1199! Sounds like some new parts are on the way!

So, not the smartest thing I've done. It was sunny, clear, but unfortunately 30 deg. I was chomping at the bit to get a ride in, finally. I rode to Seattle to get the new up-map only to find out it was already uploaded, but they didn't document it. What normally would have ticked me off was...

HI All, Saw the white 2013 panigale today. color looked good, it's a pearl white gloss just like my streetfighter, I'd been thinking it'd be a satin finish white. I like it, but think red's the better color. The Tri and Pani S they had I think were 12s as they had no oil site glass cutout, the...

....! I knew they would offer this eventually but I bought in August anyway. Oh well, the only thing to do now is pay the sucker off and avoid any interest altogether.:D

Lost my gear pedal today. Bolt came loose. Fortunately it didn't drop out. Just my luck, two fellow Ducati owners stopped and loaned me an allen key. I now carry a 5mm in the toolkit! Now threadlocked, so hopefully wont happen again. May have to replace the small arm on the spline as I...

Apologies if posted already, but today I received a letter from Ducati UK listing 5 recalls. 1. Exhaust butterfly cable support. 2. Ohlins steering damper washer. 3. Steering damper retaining screws. 4. Swing arm shafts torque. 5. Front brake master cylinder nut. Hope this is all - I've...

O yes it was wet, but eventually dried... Who also went?

Picked up my Tricolore today with a few "goodies" added... Here are a few pics with the Evotech tail tidy (great quality) and the Euro spec turn signals. Bellissima!

Friggin' 4 main bolts that hold it on were missing from the kit! Figured this out after I disassembled the tail and fit the original lights and wires to the new fixture. Found some replacements and the final product is far better than the original scheme. It will do until something nicer...

Well, I doubled my total mileage today. Got in some highway riding and hit the country twisties we have out here. Some observations: Heat wasn't an issue outside of one time I went the wrong way and had to go through a few intersections. Temps later in the ride were in the mid 90's F. It died...

Put the deposit down in March and finally got the bike home this afternoon. A nice ride from the Detroit area to mid-Michigan with a bit of rain mixed in for fun. No smoke on startup, no clutch problems (probably never got hot enough anyway), and the seat wasn't really that bad. Put about...

Just not the 1199 I've been promised for weeks:( I did get this in today though 1:6 Scale

If you would like a unregistered 1199 ABS Panigale Wolverhampton Ducati have a cancelled order. Gnome
