Mmmm, Ducati! Which Ducs are you looking into? How about a Desmosedici? Haha

Actually I was thinking about a Monster 750 of late nineties vintage.

[harwood39]

I ride on dirt... does that count?? haha

I would try to find a 99 or later 750 Monster. Anything earlier than 99 had issues with the head studs and the stator nut. Also when you buy one replace the timing belts, the belts are like $70 and it takes about 45 minutes to install but they need to be replaced every 2 years or 12,000 miles.

Oh by the way I ride a 2001 Ducati Monster 900Sie

I will be out riding my '05 cbr 600RR in Grand Forks and will make some trips to Fargo to ride also. And of course I will be back at the track running and trying to set new track records again.

Is their a website I can access the track schedule at?

If your interested the second saturday of every month we hold a stunt session, group ride, and BBQ here in Bismarck. We have guys come from all over the state. Last ride we had 110 bikes plus.

[psitsi]

Have money down on an 01 CBR F4i. Just need to get my permit out of the way and pay for gas to get it here. Should have it about the end of may.
Also Artie ill be asking for you next time im in. Im getting pretty desparate for gear right about now.

[Krazy_Kling]

I will be riding in the F4i I recently purchased. Ive been riding the past few days even though its damn cold out. Just wear extra protection.

How do you like it so far?

[Krazy_Kling]

I love it. I just gotta get the cam chain replaced, appointment is allready set up this week at U-motors. If you can believe it ma's cycles quoted me $200 for chain and ten hours of labor! then went to U's and quoted me $100 dollars for chain and 2 hours/3 hours max for labor. also the chain that links to the back tire is loose so that needs to be tightened. Im satisfied so far though.

[Krazy_Kling]

BTW does anyone know anywhere else that i could get that stuff done cheaper?

[thurmanmerman]

I just bought all my parts to get it in shape and should be riding as soon as I can get everything put together.

Tightening the drive chain is cake, you could do that yourself.
With any other bike I would tell you to fix the cam chain yourself, but have never taken apart a newer bike, could be a whole nother ballgame.
