YESSSS!!! :o :o :o

WOW....I am COMPLETELY DIGGIN' That!!!!!!!!!!!

That Cannot be that hagged original tank, can it?  Sheesh, what a recovery...give that guy a cigar [beer]

Excellent work!  Excellent choice, Clearly you know what you want, excellent sub-contracting-out-the-paint-work-but you-know-not-all-of-us-are-talented-but [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Naw man....Absolutely gorgeous.....those tank badges are perfect.........I wish I had talent to color co-ordinate:   2CardDuc is helping me configure a look for the Tuono, because I have absoultely no game .....but that thing is beautiful... [clap]

That bike belongs in the living room....makes me wonder if you'll now let her ride it!!!

nate did mine too, great stuff, knows the ducs very well.  not the super cheapest in the world, but it was worth the comfort of knowing a professional duc painter was doing the job  [thumbsup]  He takes lots of pictures and keeps you updated too, so the customer service is great

I think someone locally had a few issues with him though, but I had a fantastic experience

Kinda late to be adding to this, I know...

But I *think* it was Patrick himself at Motorcycles Unlimited who had issues with the work done on his own S4R.  I was dropping my own Duc up there one day when I saw his tank sitting in the box that Patrick was about to send back.  He said something about "bubbling" issues with the paint.  Hopefully it got resolved. 

Considering the amount of positive feedback that Ducpainter has gotten on the board, it was probably an anomaly on his part.

Paul, what's the progress with the bike and the insurance claim?

Bike should be done tomorrow *crosses fingers*...after that it's bolt up all the remaining stuff  and pull the plastic to the painter.

After a 4 week investigation, Punk did not have insurance......and my insurance company has thankfully been f'innn awesome  (Geico).

Got a form letter today that told me  (Geico) paraphrasing here * we give up, go ahead & go after this dude if you feel like it.*...I do, believe me.

Moral of the story seems to be if you don't have ins and you hit somebody, the ins co will go after you for 30 days and if they can't find you they freakin' give up or something......Sorry, 'bit frustrated here.....what are LAWS for anyway??  After all Schwartzenegger said (after his bike wreck)  "I didn't think I needed one" answering a question why he didn't have a bike endorsement on his driver's license. and he's a Gov....


A*hole, I commin' for ya, Bra....wait for the riccochette !!

What an A-HOLE!! What's the guys name? You should post his name in CL's Moto section --- warning of his reckless, moto-wrecking, no insurance carrying, dead beat behavior.  [puke]   DO IT!   [laugh] [laugh]  If anything, just do it for a good laugh. Someone that knows him is bound to come across the ad if you run it for a few days.  8)


DO IT.
C'mon, DO IT.
DO IT.
