Bugger Stuffed Ducati

Sucked in I have had the best run with my ST2 Ducati and I still love the
thing.
No Electricals Probs
No oil leaks
No lose of Power
Plenty of Grunt
Gee must have brought a orange and not a lemon.

Lucky you ;-P

How many kms on it?

Geez, Lushy! You really _are_ brave!

(or perhaps you have sold it, to buy a Honda, and can afford to say
things like that now?)

....or have had it stolen to then buy a Honda...

Cheers,

(My ST2 didn't give a second of trouble in the 20,000 kms I had it. Lovely
bike indeed.)

 

Must be. We never saw you pass us!

17,000 trouble free ks so far

 

Because I was always in front of you, you dill
Lushy

 

Pfft - its barely run in then...

just over 115,000km on mine

big (not exactly "trouble free" though, but I'm happy enough with it

 

bah, barely run in. The 60cc has done 48,000 and so far it's had a neurtal
light switch replaced under warranty. The forks started leaking before
Turismo, so I put new seals in it and haven't seen any icecream since.

Bloody unreliable POS it is


I better buy another Honda, 3 isn't enough

 

1. Not run in yet.
2. Not going to fail during the warranty period.

That would be right how dare it break down before the warraty ended but will
just after I bet. LOL

Done that it runs great - prefer Mobil 8000 stuff or bp as it is available
on the Peninsula

fixed for free, bit of lube and made sure the cable was in straight...

 

Big, what exactely happened to the duke? I recall you saying it was in
pieces for a fair while...

Johno

 

Yeah mostly... It started out as a failed bearing:

which turned into the seemingly obligatory "getting stuffed around by
the Ducati authorised workshop" story that so many Ducati owners have,
followed by an amusing episode involving getting blatantly lied to by
the owner of said workshop while a friend and I loaded my bits of
Monster into his ute rather than lave it at the workshop any longer.
From there it was mostly the tuits problem - it took 2 or 3 weekends to
reassemble it, but those were spread out over a year or so...

Round ones?

Well, given the choice of bolting together a ducati or riding a honda,
Big took the obvious option.
