    What I learned in CLASS today...

    For context, I'm not affiliated with CLASSRides.com but Reg (and his crew) was the first to teach me how to ride my bike (my F4i way back when) quickly...so, I'm a bit loyal in that respect. And honestly too, I'm intimidated by the track days up here...lots of seemingly AFM and wannabe racer...

    Just bought a kit for my bike, and have to admit it was intimidating laying out of all the pieces! That all said, anyone know a good installer in the East Bay? Thanks! -rich

    Ever miss your old bikes?

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't...scrolling some old pics though, I couldn't help but post the pics of my past two bikes and my current. Probably the best sounding bike I have had, other than my old 996...which I don't have a pic of <sigh>...but as great as she sounded, I couldn't get it to...

    Transport to Ace? (Danville to Concord)

    Anyone in the East Bay available to help me get my bike to Ace in Concord? Sadly, and very frustrating-ly, I've destroyed the oil filter on my newly acquired 05 999R and feel it's best to leave removal to a professional. Sadly, I had all the tools for what should have been a simple job...but...

    Ducati Owners: Fuel Pump Question

    Alrighty, here's the situation. It sounds like the fuel pump on my 996 is attempting to prime (at least partially) all the time. I've disconnected the battery with no luck and have lifted the tank to be sure that all connections are secure...still no luck. Though I can't record and play the...
