Ducati Riders

[NaPTuNe]

However, we ultimately repent by listening to a speech made by our Father (leader).

Along with instructions written in our holy bible..

"Dear lord, please bless me for a safe ride. Or otherwise bless me win 4D so i can buy another Ducati. Amen." (IshallnotbeheldresponsiblefortheabovecaptionsorforusingthygodsnameinvainHallelujah!)

[NaPTuNe]

The meet up offically ended after the speech. Some of the riders decided to had down Changi Village for lunch, some stayed at a cafe next to the chapel, others had other matters to attend to.

 

Me? I had lunch at the cafe next to the chapel. Its called "Bark Cafe". Although it sounds very pet friendly, actually its not. This place has a signboard that says pets are not allowed. Dog owners, forget about bringing your dog here.

Here's an appetizer...

Love the look of those bikes. When I was young, I dreamt of getting a Ducati 916 after I saw it in red but stopped as I never progressed beyond 2B. Maybe when I m old and have more time and more disposable cash, I will go continue my 2A and my 2 and buy a Ducati just to own one in this lifetime.

[Guest mybookie3]

Nice pics. Keep it up.

 

Where was the yellow GS in the subsequent pictures?

Dear all senior Ducati owners

 

Could anybody kindly, educate me what does 50% reduction in maint. means in reality?What does 100% of this 50% is to start with?

can we put this down in dollars and cents?

many thanks!.....

 

Ducati's marketing material contains this bold statement:

 

"50% less maintenance cost on every 2007 Ducati

 

We are proud to announce that all 2007 Ducati models require less frequent service, fewer parts and less labour during each service and, as a result, greatly reduced scheduled maintenance costs - by as much as 50%. Reducing the cost of service when you visit your Ducati Dealer for maintenance is one way to measure the new quality of Ducati. It also contributes immensely to making the Ducati ownership experience as satisfying as the Ducati riding experience. Research and development is the number one investment at the Ducati factory. This investment in performance and quality includes our factory processes, machinery and the people who build each Ducati. By 'engineering-in' quality through design, materials and testing, every Ducati owner will enjoy significant and quantifiable improvements in every Ducati motorcycle. To a rider, the best measure of quality is the riding experience. You can feel a new smoothness to the legendary Ducati L-Twin, a more progressive nature to the powerful brakes and more confident road holding in every turn. Reliability and quality - one ride is all the proof you will need.

 

50% less - 100% Ducati.

Standard equipment in every 2007 model."

BELIEVE DAT!

 

Maybe that's why they don't allow dogs in? Perhaps there are "Other Forces" dining together with us in that cafe? Dogs can supposely see those things and they will bark like crazy???

 

I went to the toliet when i was there, nothing spooky thou..

[NaPTuNe]

Nice pics. Keep it up.

it's mostly marketing... they have increased service intervals and set fixed service costs (in the US). good details are in this article.

http://www.bikeland.org/story.php?storyID=30661

I guess you should ask Minerva whether they have standard pricing for the servicing? from my experience it's been quite reasonable, I wouldn't say any more expensive than my Jap bikes? (actually probably cheaper than some of my Jap shitters)

 

Cheers

[conjurer]

there was a ss900 there? wish i went, would have been nice to meet another 900ss owner... too bad my 900ss out of commission for a while...

[ajk13]

is there a section for Streetfighter in this forum?

[GuiNNeSS]

I started to take interest in the different types of Open Dry Clutch Bracket available. There seems to be many choices.

 

My favourite!

Don't just get one that looks good, some covers are designed to protect too. Like this one.

[red rocket]

After changing to open type clutch cover, the OEM springs will rust. Gotta be prepared for that.

 

Ismail have some springs in stainless steel for sale. I think it is only for the 916 series, not sure if it'll fit the 1098.

Yap.. thats nice. I got that on my ride

 

As for a street fighter forum, this is a generic ducati forum for all ducati riders. All are welcome here

[joot_bero]

On the right is a good looking guy (hey, i'm a female after all..) with a very good looking bike. He speaks american accent english. Sometimes i wonder why there's no Ah Beng riding a Duke? Someone who gets off the bike and light a smoke and goes like: "Wha Lao eh! Just now that C* taxi damn L** J*** leh!" I think i will most likely faint..

My bike looks like a toy here. hmm... time to get a ducati 1098 pocket bike.

hi granzon

u 're not alone in dis,i noe of many who 're in d same situation as u!

u gotta work on it,mate!

even thou,u 're in class 2b,u should still progress till class 2,dat license part dun cost much,juzz need to juggle some time!

settle d documentation part 1st .

u never noe,singapore pools might smile on u.even thou u strike 10big,10 small,u still can't ride your dream machine!

many people 've d misconception dat,once i retire with my cpf money,i 'll get the bike of my dream!hold d horses my friend,after u retired u can buy a ferrari,no problem but a bike?

once u stop @ d light,u probably wobble to a stand still,old bones & knees could'nt take it no more!

if d flame is still there,try to do it early?

in d mean time,try to get involved,hook up to d ducati owners group,be present @ some local event,like d recent memorial ride or d next charity ride !

in short,get stuck in .

 

yo maxby

Haha that would be me! Except i quit smoking (2yrs 5mnths and counting! yay!) and only cuss alot with people I know well especially guys (those I think who can take it)......... also when I'm really pissed! Seems quitting smoking didn't eliminate my foul mouth!

 

*inserts lame joke*

Wa not bad ley, I didn't know I had the capacity to make girls faint!

*ends lame joke and feels proud of himself *

[supergas79]

now your turn to knock her out with your video clips on d 99 bend !!!!!!!!

 

No need for that. Just start using foul language when riding your duke.... you'll knock her out just as well.
