AudiBull Report post Posted January 27, 2015 Couple small scrapes, nothing big or crazy. Must not have been a properly maintained back road. A fresh wax helps with the scrapes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Fairings all off... sitting in the living room having a beer... wrapping my fairings... I think I'll call her Batcati. Bruce wayne and Jirre should be jealous. It's not the Ducati that gotham wants... it's the Ducati that Gotham needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerplop Report post Posted February 8, 2015 Sexy time. Simple, sleek, has some sheen, isn't totally matte black. It's Satin black. I love it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chipster Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Well I joined this club today! Was on the on ramp getting on the interstate with a lot of traffic and looked left before merging but apparently at the same time, traffic on the on ramp came to a complete stop and by the time I turned around it was too late. Had only glanced left quickly but just the perfect storm of timing. Had to lay it down and went under the left bumper of a RAV4 in front of me. Scraped up my hands a little but my big diesel watch took most of it. The fairing on the other side that went under the bumper got the worst of it. I think the other fairings are just scraped. Luckily wasn't going that fast. Guy in the RAV4 was actually pretty cool, he told me not to worry about it. Had to pretty much beg him to take my business card. Definitely a humbling experience and a bruised ego. It all happened so fast and adrenaline and all that, picked up the bike like it was nothing. Had just gotten it all painted and back together a few weeks ago. Was able to ride back home at least and get my car. Bummer!

suzukidave Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I mostly ride off road, and I admit I have had a few injuries over the years, but the reward of the ride is fantastic. Its not for everyone. Heres a little pic from last year. If youre squeamish dont look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Plastic can be fixed, if you walk away from a street bike crash it's a good day. Glad you are ok Chipster. Stay safe please. suzukidave, nice to know that you took it in stride. But with your screen name, I can imagine you would anyway. I joined that club more than a decade and a half ago; no injuries, just bruised ego and some fairing damages. Have been lucky in the last 10+ years.

Chipster Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Damn Dave!! Thanks VCR. I feel better about it today. I guess I wanted to be a perfectionist! New fairings were ordered this morning. Will be pretty wild looking. Hopefully 2 weeks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpohl402 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 Wow, this absolutely INFURIATES me, as a rider: https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/driver-runs-m...-205458513.html (However at the same time, I'm not in the least bit surprised it happened, lots of crazies.... Very unfortunate it happened!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
