Went down to SS today and ordered a cam belt adjustment tool.  Not bad.  Then bought an O ring seal for the fuel pump to install on the new gas tank when it comes in. I like the preventative maintenance idea thing. New rubber seal around a fuel pump that sits right above a hot vertical cylinder and exhaust sounds good to me.  $75.00 for a simple O ring seal does not!  Bought it anyway just cause. Damn seal costs more than the special tool. There's something just not right about that.  Makes me start rethinking the Ducati thing again. Seal costs the same as one cam belt. I guess they are both critical parts. I don't mind the belt cost that much but a seal? Dang!

Why don't you purchase from another vendor or sponsor? Just asking

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Not sure.  It might go on the block as well.

For some parts and accessories I do, depending on price and availability.  The bulk of that seal price is set by Ducati and our local dealer adds their markup. I don't have a problem with that. They help me out a lot with different things so I always try to give them business when I can.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

OK . .  I do have a few US dealers I usually purchase stuff from, but, most, is from our sponsors . . .

Been out sick for about a week... Undecided Hopefully I feel better so I can go riding later on this week. I hope everyone is healthy and well. Be careful as there are two things spreading fast right now: the flu, and the norovirus; luckily I have neither.

Too much to type in using a kindle fire. Let's say I know more about Ducati engines, in a good way.
