I have old bones too... several of them crushed and fused together.  But I have several sportbikes, including a 999, 916 and 996. Two words: Heli bars. http://www.helibars.com/proddetail.php?prod=HB2405I couldn't ride for very long without them. Three + day rides are no problem (to a degree) with the bar swap. Besides great tires this is the best money I have ever spent on a bike. After tires and Heli bars comes a good saddle. Check it out.  |

a Duc is a Duc is a Duc is a Duc. you either lov'em or you don't. you'll be surprised when you can open the bike up and tear into it.
so....why hasn't he done this yet? I was told by AMS (Stuart and Nash) when I bought my new bike to break it in how I wanted to ride it, and I did. It was awesome. |

who knows why but it may have something to do with Scott saying keep it under 7K

No no no - the manual said under 6 for the first 500 miles then 7500 until 1,000 - Scott said not to worr just don't run constant rpms and don't flog it to 9500 evry time - Scott said it likes to be ridden between 4-7,000 - being that it is a Duc and it's sat for 2 years (only 19 miles) I didn't want to take any chances. Ran it out a few times yesterday and no problems. |

Sell that scooter or keep it. Which is it? Fish or cut bait. Why is this thread four pages long? The man who owns the bike and started this thread knows the answer. If the bike is not for you and doesn't meet your needs, then poof... it's gone. It's all cool. No one said just because it's a Ducati it's the world's best bike for you. Just go and buy what turns your prop. Just like we all do. And yes, sometimes we make mistakes and buy bikes that give us buyer's remorse. Hell, I have had marriages like that... damn sure cost me more than your Ducati.  Get over it and move on. If you don't want it, sell it. If you think you want to keep it then start a new thread about that. Let's move on people... nothing to look at here. Let's let the man make his own decision. It's just a motorcycle. [moto] |

it's a beer holder for the rallies. remember, the cruiser is a slow and fat pig that allows time to enjoy sips of your favorite beverage.  |
