The only other bike I ever fell in love with after test riding it was an Aprilia RSV4:

I would've bought it then, but it was £16,000. The Duc above I fell in love with was only £8,000, so a little more manageable, pocket wise...

How did it fried the ECU and the Dash, isn't there any fail safe protection I.E fuse,surge protector? Can't you fix it yourself, or do you require specific tools for Ducati. I remember when I had my cbr600rr, I just fixed stuff myself. 2500$ seems like a lot.

This is why half my vehicles are from the 80's
I love new stuff but its harder to work on, and i like carburetors. When it comes to my bikes i do all my work myself and work on a few friends because i have a garage and the tools. Alot of stuff nowadays is just ordering new parts online and replacing the bad ones. Just bolting shit on. Bike mechanics these days are just parts changers, for the most part.
Ducs are sexy but ive always considered them to be like the other "higher end" bikes to where they are harder to work on and parts are more expensive and scarce. I like being able to find cheap and abundant customization parts for my honda and american bike.

Taco nailed it. I got an '08 CBR1000RR now and do everything on it myself.
Apparently it's a common problem on these Duc 821 engines though, loom can potentially be effected, and I aint fucking with that, spoke to the shop earlier and they say Ducati 'might' honour it and not charge me (fingers crossed). Their official line is the issue effected 1/1000 bikes, but the forums lead me to believe it's more than that..
What Honda you got Taco? My first 'fast' bike was an '07 600RR.

I don't know much about bikes but that thing looks awesome. Nice taste. Fuck the Ducati haters.
Glad you weren't on it or hurt from the breakdown.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support, I really appreciate it and it's really helped. I might mean I have to set my move to Australia back a couple of months, but such is life, best laid plans an all.

It's quite simple. Either you stick your dick in the exhaust, if you're that way inclined, or you bend your partner over the machine and take them from behind...

Jokeshopbeard said: This one:

I was just leaving work at midnight and it died as I got to the end of the road. Luckily I know the building maintenance guys and security guys so I had a good homeand good company to wait with while I got recovered, but based on the conditions I've observed on the bike I think I'm gonna be looking at a £2,500+ repair bill. I am so pissed. I had just managed to save that money for my big move to Aus and now it's gonna get raped from my pocket due to my love for Italian bikes.
I've just been dropped off at home by the recovery people. I've necked some vodka and had a little PCP to deal with the pain but I need to vent about it and all my local friends are asleep (it's 4am) but I know my Shroomery crew is always online.
Ever had the pain of a vehicle you love breaking down on you and knowing you're gonna have to rape your savings to rescue it?
Fuck. Cunt. Fucking, fuck. I hate to sound cliche (fuck it, I always do) but my bikes are like women to me. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
Please, somebody share some stories of loss, grief, and general pissed-off-ness so I don't feel so alone...
man,
I hate to have to say it,
but ducati's suck.

Build quality? YES Reliability? YES Ease of maintenance? YES? Cost? YES Ego surrounding most riders of them? YES Common sense? YES
Passion? No fucking way. THEY NAILED IT. I've ridden pretty much every brand of bike and Duc's come out on top every time in terms of passion. The Italian machines have something no other brand can match, as much of a ball ache as they are.

fair enough,
I actually do totally understand your pain (I don't ride anymore cause my last bike got totaled in a hit and run, and I couldn't afford to fix it or buy another) so I'm sorry man.
it'll be ok and you'll get the power back between your legs soon enough
