    Buying A Ducati 848 Evo

    Ducati changed the 848 to the evo in 2010 I think? Odds are it shouldn't need much if the mileage is not too bad. Tires are an easy one to spot and aren't really that expensive, even for the good ones. Don't let internet people rain on your parade, if you got the bike you wanted enjoy it and...

    Buying A Ducati 848 Evo

    PS, spending 6-800 on maintenance is way cheaper than ignoring the work and having a major engine repair on your hands.

    Buying A Ducati 848 Evo

    Ducati maintenance can be pricey, but in my experience those who own them are usually pretty good at keeping those things up. Expect $125/hr for Labour costs if you're going to be using dealerships to perform maintenance (e.g., oil change = $60 for synthetic oil, $20 for filter and $80 in...

    Shell Gas Station Policy

    Didn't read the whole thread. I remove all clothing when paying for gas. It's my own personal policy. Safety first.

    Quitting for 5 years, anyone do this before?

    Pretty much my story. I was out for 10 years and did all the above mentioned (plus an in-ground pool which was big bucks). If you do the adulting part right, you can have it all in the end. I now have the job, wife, kids, cars, house and Ducati. Just get your priorities straight, get a good job...

    Quitting for 5 years, anyone do this before?

    Stopped riding for 10 years after university to do some adulting. Happy to report that this is just a phase and you can go back to being a child once your own children surpass your maturity level.

    Skully Helmets Shutting Down??

    I totally understand strip clubs, Lamborghinis and Vipers. I am a little ****** off at the paintings though. I am an uncultured swine.

    I think I read 11M somewhere. That could also be total BS.

    Recognizing a stolen bike, how to?

    Good advice regarding the UVIP. $20 well spent and will give you the complete ownership history & if the bike has any liens. If a deal feels funny, something is probably up. I wouldn't buy a bike without seeing the seller's photo ID and making sure it matches the ownership paperwork.

    Yikes. 3-Year Old Passenger

    I heard Kawasaki was looking at developing a supercharged H2R wagon to compete with the Amish rocket wagons. Question is, are 3-year olds suitable passengers on them?

    Yikes. 3-Year Old Passenger

    Yeah, those are the legal requirements. I think there was an attempt to enact a bill around 2008 to limit the age of a passenger to 14. Never went anywhere. For some reason, the thought of a 4-year old in a t-shirt and shorts on the back of a s1000rr on the 401 (totally legal) doesn't sit well...
