Roger, a $200 increase does seem a bit much but... how do you think I felt when I opened my statement back in 2005 and found a $2000 increase. Yes, TWO GRAND! Same company, Echelon. YES! I SAID ECHELON! And guess who my broker was, Riders Plus. YES! I SAID RIDERS PLUS! Oh and understand that...

Not quite. Acceleration speeds up the gyroscopic effect on the front wheel. The faster the wheel spins the more force that is generated causing the wheel to right itself. Be glad you weren’t maxed out like this poor sod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1W5HN40bpw This is the Arrow damper that...

Sorry but that’s the way it is. Non-current left overs, demonstrators and used models are all fair game. You might get a better trade in value or some goodies added into a deal at one store over another but base price will be what it is. It’s not just Ducati either. I looked at a Triumph 675R at...

Back in the day the quick guys all ran reverse shift pattern, (also known as GP shift). Guess what? Not that I was one of them but all my bikes have been reverse pattern. Now if you combine reverse pattern with clutchless shifting you get lower lap times. Plus, it’s just a plain cool feeling...

I believe it depends on the ad and the seller who posted it. Words like “rare” and “limited” are very over used and buyers need to beware. Ask for proof and verify it yourself. My wife and I have owned (and sold) several extremely rare, limited production motorcycles. Whenever writing an ad I...

I don't read legalese but I think this is the contentious portion. (1.5) Insurers are prohibited from using a geographical region in which an insured person resides as an element in classifying risks for a coverage or category of automobile insurance. There is a lot more in this bill but I'll...

Times sure have changed. I received my one and only speeding ticket on a motorcycle back in the summer of 1983. Because of the speed, (155 in an 80) I was obliged to appear in court. When the day came the officer was a no show and the prosecutor didn't have any notes on the case. I thought I was...

Perhaps I've missed something here because I do not see this situation being anything like your car scenario. If I understand correctly, the O/P agreed to pay 30% of what ever the civil suit yields. It's been my experience that settlement checks are written to the lawyer who in turn sends a...

The mufflers are not the main problem on Ducatis. It's more about the heat from the rear cylinder and the exhaust pipes leading to the mufflers. My wife has only put 1000 kilometres on her 796 and that in cool temperatures. She says it's very nice now but she's not looking forward to the heat of...

It’s obvious that many of you reading this thread have had no problems with cheques in the past. As I’ve stated before, just because something hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it’s never happened! There is nothing “paranoid” about being cautious. It’s not that the police didn’t want to do...

That's a warning sign that you should be too!!!!! And Certified cheques CAN be cancelled / reversed. My mother was taken for 5 grand plus charged fees for reversing the transaction. The other party put a stop order on the check just hours after it was issued. That was the day before they gave...

The wife was there today and said they have some apparel and lots of jewelry at 50% off the lowest marked price. She bought some pants and a pen. There may possibly be parts and custom bits for HD’s as well but she was there for Ducati parts. There was only one bike in the whole place, a custom...

They should post the dates and locations for Demo rides on the Ducati Canada web site once everything is firmed up. http://www.canada.ducati.com/ If you find the seating position too aggressive on the Superbikes maybe try an older model, like a 900 SS, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Um… don’t be too sure about that. The wife was talking with Chris this afternoon and he seemed very up beat about new owners being close to a deal. As far as the website goes well, that’s been a crapshoot from the beginning. Seems someone sets a date and declares if all the info for a dealer...

1998 Ducati 900 Supersport Final Edition. Many, many extras plus dual seat conversion Click here or on the For Sale link in my signature. PM me via this site if you wish more information.

ah.... have you tried the Ducati Owners Club of Canada forum? http://www.docc.ca/phpBB3/ Either the General Interest or Central Region sections. Ken Livingston of GPBikes use to do weekly rides.

Agent13, I hear what you're saying and I believe you are correct in so far as only specific incidents (like certain high profile deaths) seem to garner enough attention to warrant such probes. The government only investigates and / or proposes legislation for those cases. And there in lies the...

What are you smoking and can I get some??? What was so disastrous about Texas Pacific Group’s ownership of Ducati? They actually did some very good things that helped put Ducati on its present path.

Well daaaaaa!!! Thanks for the heads up re: uncheck the box. I just edited a post and did that. Tada! The photo magically appeared. Now I’m sure I had tried that before and it didn’t work but obviously I was wrong. And so begs the question, why da frak is that box checked in the first place if...

Is there a post count, subscription or other requirement needed before one may include photos? Every time I try to include a photo I get an error message like, invalid URL or GTA Motorcycles page not responding. I've tried with three different computers using three different windows versions. I...
