Thank you for the heads up on the recall. It was the male plastic part of the Q/C that failed (held in place by the metal clip) and not the clamp. I will fight the dealer on this one to see if they comp the service in lieu of the recall.

I decided to take my bike out for a ride 2 weekends ago on my usual route. I stop at a light and I smell gasoline (strong). I pull over and I discover a slow drip from the fuel line (CPC connectors). I try to fiddle with the connectors thinking that it's just loose; the leak becomes even worse (drip...

I see pics of tire wear going out to the edge, and feel so inadequate as a rider. The best I've been able to do so far is to graze the elephants on my Z6s. No worries! I'm still removing seat material from my butt when I first heaved the Rockster into a corner. It took me a while to get used to the...

I love my Rockster but when something this beautiful comes along you have to do a double take! My bike collector friend belongs to the Ducati Owners forum and he forwarded the images to me (just released 2 days ago). I think this is my next bike! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/hrothgar02/duc...

My devotion to my Rockster is strong but when something this awesome comes along, you do a double take! I got the images from a bike collector friend who is in the Ducati owners group. Theses photos were just released 2 days ago to this group; I promised you haven't seen anything like this before. h...
