    Crappytire strikes again!

    Same here, went through 2 myself and feared getting another. I had bought a $20. Torque wrench from princess auto 2 years ago and always does the job. I recently however used the slick snap on what a wrench. I'd take it up with their head office. Remember though if you left the tension on when...

    I'm obsessed with dragging my knee

    This may sound weird but left and right turns for me are executed differently. You may want to experiment with the following which has worked for me. On right hand turns (throttle side), i keep my elbow tucked in and touching my leg, this helps alleviate any aggressive inputs to the throttle...

    Congratulations, your going to love riding that bike. Get out there in a t shirt , half helmet you'll never look back. If ever you need to get back on a sport bike, then get one and own both, 2 bikes are not uncommon.

    Tank caved in overnight!

    Whoa, I've heard of tank suck but my god that's seriously distorted. I remember reading that Ducati have replaced many a tank because of this issue, which model is it, 900ss? I know the thread was referring to their supplier who had issues with other bikes as well, I believe the supplier is a...

    Jerky on/off throttle control?

    Well, the throttle tube is what controls your throttle on/off. The cables are attached to it and wrapped with your throttle grip. In many cases, the the throttle tube is so sloppy that you can move it up and down with a 1/8" difference,that's alot. The closer your tube is to your clip on the...

    Jerky on/off throttle control?

    This is something that I had issues with on my 1098. While researching this problem, my fix was to swap out the original throttle tube with a smaller diameter tube with less tolerance and it made all the difference. I had purchased mine at Dan Kyle which is specific for Ducati.

    Moto Guzzi @ BMW Toronto

    I think your choice in getting a V7 shows you got taste buddy, go for it. It's about as harmless as an sv650 or Monster except it exudes mucho style,. Which one were you thinking the "cafe" or the regular V7? Either one, a Guzzi is a man's bike!

    The ramp was also from Harbor freight, it's the 3 panel fold-out which I removed one panel, cost was $100, but you can get the same at Princess Auto except I believe it was $200 plus not sure though. Yes about sunken carriage bolts, I just used a 1" wide drill bit used when installing hardware...

    HF trailer Review/Advise.

    That's great to hear and your right, simply put on your sheets of plywood and then bolt everything up snug, it will get squared off. Here are a couple of pics on my last track day at Mosport with the Ducati club. You'll notice the ramp on the right hand side which stays put vertically when...
