Ducati Monster Forum

Hey everyone. Some of you have been taking advantage of the incredible Zalusky Advanced Riding School, and I thought that I would pass along some quick info about a gathering that we are having. Jessica is hosting a Meet and Greet next week. She posted this over on MNSBR, and I know that very few of you here go to that forum so I thought that I would copy and paste the post over here. Below is the announcement that Jessica posted...Hopefully I'll see some of you there! [beer]




ZARS Meet/Greet...

We know Advanced Rider training and Track Days can be a bit overwhelming or confusing, so we’re going to start a ZARS Meet & Greet to talk face-to-face, answer questions, provide information first hand and a chance to meet other riders and instructors. Phone calls, forums and emails can only help and inform so much, that talking in person could be extremely beneficial and helpful.

We’re kicking off our first ever on Tuesday, August 3, at 6:30pm at Champp’s in Richfield on 790 West 66th Street. Have dinner or refreshments or just come and talk shop.

Any and all riders or staff are welcome to come. Whether you've never done a Track Day or you're a seasoned Track Junkie, come and join us!

This will be pretty casual as we figure this out. One idea we'd like to try - if you are new and have specific questions you'd like answered, you can PM/email them now and will answer the evening of (you can still definitely ask questions on site).

If you have thoughts or ideas on this meet/greet, PM/email away!

can I post this on another forum?

Sure, we appreciate it if you spread the word.  [thumbsup]

cool thanks!


a good friend of mine was in your group last night, said he had a complete
blast and learned a lot!    ;D

That's awesome! I'm happy to hear that. We love getting the feedback and encourage new ideas from riders. I've never worked with such a dedicated and passionate group of people before. Behind the scenes, we are always working to improve on what we do and provide the best experience possible.

I hope to get more of the peeps on this forum to come out. I've ridden with a lot of you guys/gals on the street, and I know that you would love it!

Thanks KP.

you're welcome. only takes one session to become a track addict!

my friend (Martin) puts white race plastics on his bike for track sessions.
I think you told him to stop thinking so much! He'll be up at Brainerd in Sept.

 [laugh] Martin is great. He's a great rider and loves to challenge himself. I have fun working with him. He did say that he is doing his first trackday in Sept. I know that he's gonna love it.

I did this last Friday.  It was a blast till my bike broke.  I need to get back there once it is fixed.  Hats off to all of the great ZARS instructors, they are awesome.   [clap]

uh oh, what happened to your bike?

isn't your husband one of the instructors?  and yes, they're awesome!  [thumbsup]

I'll be hobbling around there too, if anyone cares.  I have to get dogfood nextdoor anyways [bacon]

I think it was the immobilizer tripped.  ???

Yes, I'm the husband.  ;D

at least it didn't lock up your rear wheel at full throttle like it did mine.  that causes a little poop in the old pants. [bacon]

okay, call me stoopid, but how do you trip the immobilizer? 

don't you need the Sacred Red Key for that?


thought you were the husband!   [thumbsup]

Geoff you crack me up.

Well I was waiting to go on track for the third session of the night and all of a sudden my speedo starts going from 0 - 120 - 40 - 160 and I wasn't even moving.  Then the bike shut down completely with the speedo stuck at 110mph.  So that's where it is right now.  We have visually checked the fuses, and they looked ok.  Gauge cluster is getting no power at all.  Can't turn it on and no blinking light for immobilizer shut down.  So we will have to start investigating a bit deeper.   [bang]

We need to investigate the fuses a bit more but we are a little busy this week.  Also the red keys don't reset the problem if it was an immobilizer shut down.  Apparently only the key card can do that.  Red Keys only reprogram the black keys.  Who knew.

I feel your pain my sumo hit all sides and bent some parts.  I'm going to use the magical red handled hammer, problem solved.  stupid ducatis  lol jk [bacon]

Do you still need a manual for the immobilizer reset? Looks like you just enter the codes on the card in the immobilizer reset menu to unlock the system.

Happy to help if you need more info.

Cheers.

No I got a manual and shop manual from the Baconator  [bacon] Geoff.  I just need some time to look at them.   ;D
