Maybe. Can you post your "objection" so that we can review it? I'm certain that you could draft something more cogent than I could.

The Ducati dealer that I bought my bike from closed their doors last week.  The next closest dealer is in ?Dallas? I think.  That means I'll have to ride it or haul it 7 hours there and back - assuming I don't have to make two trips.  It would be nice if a tank could be boxed up and mailed to a Ducati shop or DNA for evaluation/replacement if the nearest shop is several hundred miles away.

Bill - I was at AMS Sat getting mine done and Jeff was talking about the shop in OKC closing down - you might want to call him or Sophia and see if they can help you out logistically

Call them and tell them your situation.  You may be able to get a waiver.  the downside is that the shop doesn't get the labor from Ducati.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'm not sure that's a good idea for obvious reasons.  If people want to see what I'm writing up PM me.

how about a limerick?

I bought a ducati, tank of plastic,
I thought that it looked quite fantastic,
I put some gas inside
and it became double-wide
ducati's response?  unenthusiastic.

take a picture of the latch, several in fact and emailed them to Dallas.  You never know, they might just approve it via email and only one trip would be in order.  Sad that OKC shut down.  Everyone there was nice.

If anyone else wants to join my objection, I need to have your signed affidavit in by THURSDAY of this week.

PM me your name and email address.  I will send you back an affidavit.

You have to fax it back to me completed and notarized by THURSDAY

Bad News guys....my Caswell coated tank is beginning to show signs of potential bloating....the areas near the seat on the sides is starting to look a bit wave-y...Perhaps I didn't coat it properly.  I'll haul it up to the dealer for a look this Spring.

Sorry to hear about your coating, soemthing I really don't want to do and just one of the reasons from my objection. I sent my objection out last week, also copied AMA, and intend to continue to keep my legislators informed/bugged etc... - Gene
