    Know anyone that would be interested in a like new (still under warranty) 2022 Ducati Monster+ 937?

    I bought it with the intention of flipping it.  The guy I bought it from had a Ferrari, and Audi RS5, couple classic Porches, expensive boats...he bought the Ducati because he could afford it, but he just wasn't a motorcycle guy.

    It's absolutely like new with an excellent IMU based electronics package...lean sensitive TC and ABS, launch control, wheelie control, buttery smooth up/down quick shifter, etc.   It's lightweight (40lbs less than the Monster 821), and flickable.

    If you've ever been afraid of Ducati maintenance...the 937 motor is a gem with extended maintenance intervals...18k for valves, and 9k for oil changes.  Asking $11k

    Wrapping up the build with an Eclipse party. You folks should stop by. Just south of Wooster. 

    The center path of the eclipse goes right through my yard.

    Schools will be closed that day.  The police are already posting warnings about being prepared for local food and gas shortages, due the huge number of people that will be coming to the area.  

    I've seen ads for people charging $50/car to park in their yard.

    btw, I have a camper just south of Wooster.

    Change the oil noticed a big scratch on the gas tank, but that’s what you get for letting some sorority house with poky nipples wash your bike in New York but that’s not something you pass by!

    Most of us aren't strong enough to resist the power of poky nipples.  Well played sorority.

    The new Goldwimg could suck your dick while riding for all I care. Can’t see myself on one for any reason. 

    For a 2-up tourer, I definitely see the appeal of the new GW (or a K1600)

    For a 1-up tourer, there are many motorcycles I prefer.  And 95% of my riding is 1-up.

    Bear sprays and deterrence 

    I'm sure you've read plenty already...

    sometimes bear spray will only buy you a minute or 2 depending on the species, and the specifics of the encounter.  

    I've had few encounters where I saw the bear, and plenty more where the bear saw me.

    So that's three posts in a row about sticking things in asses.

    That isn't fair. 

    It's perfectly normal for people to only want to speak about the things they know.

    Interesting. Your first post in a month and it is about sticking things in your ass.

    More interesting is that the post you made a month ago was about the same thing.

    That is some good reporting.

    That is slick. How do the pistons on the caliper collapse?

    The 2 silver spring/clips in the photo...each hold a retaining pin in place.  The pins aren't visible in the photo, but slide out of the spoke side of the caliper. 

    The Brembos are 4 piston, and each piston has it's own brake pad.  When removing the old pads, I used them to compress each piston a bit to make it easier to slide the new EBC HH pads in pace.

    Love it when a job is easier than expected.
