Just looked through all your pics on Flickr, bike looks awesome! Are you sporting the black wheels now or the white ones? Also, any new pics with the Termis on?

Thanks! Black wheels from the original white. I think all red S2Rs came with white. Also, the back wheel is a Hypermotard magnesium wheel. I like the thinner spokes. To make the front match, I would need to change the brakes too. Maybe, next modding stage. First fill-up of the season:  Sorry for the off-topic horn tooting! |

The FB page is growing. Almost at 500 "Likes". Not only am I excited about the bikes, but what about the apparel and accessories. It will be great to see this stuff in person before buying. Online stores have their place but brick and mortar stores bring more excitement!

from a service standpoint in detriot winter storage options with service during the offseason, mods, etc. it's a good plan. then in the spring, get the trade ins from the winter storage bikes and roll out the new models. |

Hopefully not. They are predicting between June and July. We shall see..... Browsing the FB page, they started discussions with the city back in January. |

Even if he finishes by July 1st (I'm thinking unlikely) that's only 4 months of decent riding season? I think it's going to be a rough year for this guy.
Thinking about it makes me realize how good us Texas riders have it..

Well, that's Michigan. If he opens in July, he only missed maybe a month of good riding (lots of early rain this year) or about two months of the riding season. One of the dealers here sells snowmobiles and off-road vehicles in the winter season. Not really an option for Ducati NA but it's what others do. Otherwise, service, mods, parts and storage will be the winter business. Most of us Michiganders that own bikes do our long term wrenching or cleanup in the winter. So, we'll need parts for service or have service done. Hopefully and most likely, they will have a dyno.
Down the street in Royal Oak, is the company I used to work for that makes the VDST tool (Techno Research). They might benefit from a dealer close by for any development work.
