    Crap lawyers in a torte case...

    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...

    Undertail Exhausts

    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...

    Ok to Accept Certified Check as Payment?

    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...

    Ok to Accept Certified Check as Payment?

    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...

    Toronto Harley/Ducatti dealer closed?

    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...

    Ducati Day Ride

    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.

    Toronto Harley/Ducatti dealer closed?

    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...

    John Newell & the street racing legislation book

    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...

    Audi buying ducati!! wow

    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.

    Why am I not able to post photos?

    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...

    Why am I not able to post photos?

    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...

    what do you want out of a motorcycle? How does your Bike make you feel?

    All this talk about KTM got me to thinking. Now this is what I call a real “off road” KTM. ;) Seems fitting too as this is Daytona weekend and the photo was taken at Daytona in1982. Hmmmm thats 30 years ago...

    Toronto Harley/Ducatti dealer closed?

    Again, Chris McDermott posted this on the Ducati Owners forum. since Monday, if you go to the Ducati (Canada, USA, or world) site, you will see that Ducati Toronto no longer exists. What I have done is made sure we have oil, belts, etc. to do some service. You could do us ( your bike and me)...

    New MV F4RR are in Ontario

    BINGO! We have a winner. If you compare the seams on the limited edition F4’s (like the Senna) you’ll notice they appear to be less visible. http://motoprofi.com/imgs/a/a/m/m/r/mv_agusta_f4_1000_senna_2007_1_lgw.jpg People may hold different opinions and are free to voice them. However, one...

    MotoGP Indy

    Different people have different experiences. We cross 3 – 5 times a year and seem to get the grumpy ex military type border guards more often then not. Twice I’ve been grilled as to why I am bringing a guitar to a motorcycle race. I mean really, this is what is of the most concern to them...

    MotoGP Indy

    The wife and I have gone every year. However, we're thinkin' of takin' a pass this year. The cost of gas, hotel and the general pain in the butt crossing the boarder has become are all factors. We've always bought the Ducati grandstand package and had a blast...

    Jevco Rate Change Effective March 15th

    I call B.S. To paraphrase a well know movie line, "Show me da stats!" You " ...THINK the losses have been higher on the smaller bikes..." So, you don't really know, do you? I'll bet that some little bean counters looked at the rising cost of health care and without any proof of rising claims...

    What Bike To Buy...?

    I think your forgetting some very important factors. If all else is equal then look to which dealership you'd prefer to deal with. If you plan to do lots of long rides and reliability is a concern then which brand / model has the least number of reported issues. Another thing you should consider...
