Title: If you ever doubted the cold start capabilities
Post by: firefish on March 19, 2014, 02:03:00 AM
Monday morning surprised me with a little bit of snow. My trusty Monster from 2000 didn't seem to mind though :)

Firefish, please report to the principal's office.  Firefish.


My Monster won't start at T<40°F.

Yay!!! You left your bike out in the snow!   [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

(Truth is, most Ducati's LOVE snow but so very few get to enjoy it....)

I am jealous! If it is below 65deg F (18C), my 2003 1000ds barely starts  [laugh]  [laugh]

I think all Ducatis enjoy a little punishment as long as you give them a treat from time to time.
