Title: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Smitch on October 20, 2008, 06:11:33 PM It's been quiet 'round here lately...a little too quiet! I'm not one to talk, I've been pretty distracted over the last week and a half. Personal lives soo get in the way of motorcycle clubbin'.
As winter approaches, do any of you have anything you're planning to buy, bike related? I tend to stock up during the winter so the next season will be more enjoyable. Any trips planned for those of you hardcore enough? I bought a battery tender, a rear-stand, and changed my oil. Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases?

Riding all winter long! [moto] [evil] Better yet, I'll mount planks to the tires and take it to A-Basin! [drink] Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases?

Post by: ducducgooseme on October 22, 2008, 09:06:45 AM I have a bunch o clear coating to do on some of the monster carbon and need to replace the belts. On the 1098, I am thinking about powder coating the swing arm black. I will be installing a new DID evr, 14t and 39t sprocket system (the stealth).
Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Smitch on October 22, 2008, 09:57:27 AM ... (the stealth). Schweeeeet. The black S has always reminded me of a stealth fighter in the first place, you're bringing it even closer! Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases?

Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: J_Slyter on October 23, 2008, 07:04:16 AM Aw man...that sucks. :( Are you ok? What the heck happened?
Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Scottish on October 24, 2008, 09:20:28 PM ah, bummer. Sorry to see that Walter. :-\ goood luck fixin' her.

Any trips planned for those of you hardcore enough? I bought a battery tender, a rear-stand, and changed my oil. Sooo.. apparently I have some parts to buy. Since the boss doesn't seem too enthused about me sitting on the phone ordering Duc parts during the day, is there an e-mail direct to you Sean? Anyone care to give their thoughts on immobilizers? There's a guy on E-bay claiming he can read the RFID from the bike and make a RED key... that's right... a RED key. I'm skeptical... but in a non-mobile situation right now... (lesson learned) Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Smitch on November 11, 2008, 07:41:02 PM Sooo.. apparently I have some parts to buy.

(lesson learned) Larry's got the number of a guy who can make a red key as well. He's on the east coast somewhere, I think. Call Larry. Or call me, and I'll transfer you after we talk about why Mike isn't on here and you why aren't on here enough! I swear, you "responsible" people and your non-Duc friendly bosses!

Yeayuh! This is daddy's purchase for the winter among a few goodies for it! [moto] Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases?

I don't think Larry's guy exists any more... e-mail gets rejected and no return phone call. I'll try this guy in Washington and see what happens and let everyone know how the experience goes. Other than that... I'm tempted to buy a wrecked bike for super cheap if it's got the parts I need and then just part the rest of it. So... I may even have parts for sale! [roll] And I'm working on my boss... he did try to relate to riding with a story about being in the open air on a tractor... at least he's trying. Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Fresh Pants on November 13, 2008, 01:39:12 PM Our board is quiet too. So I thought I'd add some noise here. ;D
Bought a PC3 and will be dropping off the monster today for a custom map/Dyno on Saturday. :D Probably going to (partially) open up the airbox as well. Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation?

Oh man, those tractor afficionados are just as nuts as motorcyclists. My wife's uncle has more John Deere memorabilia than I have Ducati stuff! Good luck with the Senna! Let us know what happens.

Sweet, hope you'll post up your dyno numbers when it's all said and done. Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Fresh Pants on November 13, 2008, 02:42:28 PM Sweet, hope you'll post up your dyno numbers when it's all said and done. I shall. [evil] I even have a dyno sheet from BMS when they did my 12K service as a baseline. Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: bonfy on November 18, 2008, 09:06:24 AM I need 1100 more miles on the Duc before my 15,000 mile service is due. I'll be having that done at your shop, Smitch. Hopefully you guys still have the winter discount?? So yesterday I did the Salida/South Park Loop and today I am looking for a destination. I'm trying to rouse some of the NMMR to meet me in Taos, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Let me know if anyone in the SoCo Dogs is up for a jaunt. I'm heading out in the next half hour. Have to take advantage of this incredible weather. Stella??
P.S. I guess I should've mentioned, I am in Colorado Springs now. Makes a difference in meeting up places. [laugh] [laugh] Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Smitch on November 18, 2008, 02:48:17 PM Whaaa? Anson moves down there, and you move up here? Krazay! Well, welcome to the Springs bonfy. I fear you'll find our participation levels somewhat LOWER than NM!
Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: bonfy on November 18, 2008, 03:41:57 PM Yeah...imagine that...quite the coincidence. Thank you for the welcome, Smitch. And about that winter discount, DucDucGooseMe is always talking about how he brings his bikes up here for their maintenance service on account of the 10% off. I guess I should call the shop next week to find out. Tomorrow, some of the High Desert Hooligans are meeting me in Taos for lunch. I am leaving out of here at 8AM if anyone wants to ride. Hopefully fair skies will prevail.
Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Fresh Pants on November 19, 2008, 06:42:26 AM Okay, here it is.
:D 2001 Monster 900 Before: Pipercross air filter, Sil Moto low megaphones - no dB killers = 75.33 HP/53.40 After: +PC3, open airbox lid, custom map = 78.33 HP/55.40 (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/3042885401_0651c6af63_o.jpg) I like the "whoomp, whoomp, whoomp, whoomp" sound at idle, and the BWWWWOOAAAHH!!! at WOT. From my short ride, it's smoothed things out a little and reduced backfiring a bit. I'll probably have to wait until a little later to give a more descriptive ride report. Thanks to Faster Motosport in Denver. Thanks Bart! Title: Re: Is everyone going into Hybernation? Winter purchases? Post by: Scottish on November 20, 2008, 02:40:21 PM Thanks Freshie, that's cool!
