Just try'n to fill in the spaces man. I couldn't think of something to lead into motor/drivetrain one though.
Maybe you should post up something there about the maintenance schedule of Ducatis. |

I'd love to have a cruiser and even came || this close to buyig one about 8 months ago. just cant afford it really, if I could I would.
Id go with either a honda shadow, a sportster, a custom bobber or even a rat bike~

If I had room for another bike, it would probably be an SV650. I'd make it my track bitch.
Next would be 3 or 4 more Ducs. Maybe, just maybe, I would have room for a Yamaha Warrior somewhere down around #7 or #8.

I dunno Desmo. I finally got an old BMW R100RT for the touring gig and it's been pretty nice to ride something that doesn't need to go fast. I would like to get into some track days with something I don't mind beating up, but until then I have something for the twisties and something for the super slab. It's weird to be on a bike where you can just sit, relax, and take everything in. Plus, she ran from St Louis and back in 23 degree weather. I literally would have died on the Ducati. I'm actually excited about the Victory demo day this year down at Jones. Last year I was a bit green behind the ears to sit on a $20k bike
And for the record, I took the Monster up to 8k before I got a valve adjustment and the tech said that they weren't even that far off. It's not the 20k+ like the Japanese/new Beemers, but it's not that bad either.
