Re: Part of the Problem?
He's going to "lean" on your house, not "put a lien" on it.
I'm guessin' he eats a lot of frijoles and cheeps

Sure
The demise of V-Twins in racing
The increasing popularity of naked bikes.
The decline of HD styled cruisers...
Many others which have been stolen by MOrons over the years..
I should publish a book with all my insights and predictions. Sean could right the forward.. Yep that's the ticket

Whatever, Solipsismman.

If you allow the validity of an entire Company's product can be summed up in one customer's experience then mine should be just as valid. I have owned Ducatis starting with Bevel drive singles. I have stopped on the side of the road ONCE when I overlaoded the charging capacity of a 750 Sport and ran down the battery.
I am blessed with a excellent dealer who I support so he will always be there. Not everyone has that I realize.
Ducati's are not for everyone. I'm sorry, but more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better in every department. Things like mirrors are almost a litmus test for Italian bike ownership. They look good, what else do you want? If they worked better they probably wouldn't look as good!
This gentleman has apparently had a bad time. I haven't heard Ducati or the dealer's side. I'm sure no one is happy with the situation. If it only took a few months for a manufacturer to exhaust repair possibilities and provide a new machine in a country without specific legal releif that doesn't sound too bad. For better or worse, right or wrong, Europeans do not have the consumer service culture or expectaions that Americans and Japanese do.

Yeah, they had to move to Chicago to find people that could spell and actually THINK! Based in Seattle, the found morons like KPaul. They leave him to engineer the sanitation in the shythouse.

Dang! I didn't realize that you have to install a VFR in every HD airplane. That HMC has waaaay too much influence.

Re: Ducati 999s reliability
I am concerned about the all European bike comment. I have been looking for an Aprilia, mainly the Falco since I cant afford a Tuono, since they look good, perform well, and I thought they were reliable (I heard the Honda of European brands). Is this not the case?
(Please only respond if you know first hand, not if your cousin's lawyer's garbage collector heard from a lean collector)

Re: Another great truth espoused by the great KPaul is validated
Funny you should mention that.
Guess which company opened a Japanese manufacturing factory in the 1920s.... that factory was later absorbed into the Japanese war machine and ended up making the torpedos that were used at Pearl Harbor? Did you guess HD? If so, give yerself a cigar!
(*Disclaimer, this is all from memory and the specifics are a little hazy. Anybody want to do the research and write a cool story about it?) -Sean

Good memory! The Japanese kept making the HD 750cc Flatheads on into the 50's. Called the Rikuo.
