Welcome to the forum birdduck, I have an 88 750 Paso (light blue) and she has been pretty consistent with the Champions. Like you I was a bit skeptical as being a kid who grew up around performance bikes in the US, Champions werent ever the choice of my tuners, but as the 750 had them on it to start...

LMAO, thats classic. Can you get me one of those signs? Would make a great addition t the "man cave".

LOL, Lane you always have the funniest comments. So should I not repaint my 906 dark blue? haha

BTW, I did contact these guys for parts regarding the little fire incident with my 906. Any parts you know of in your area?

LOL..."ridden in anger on hot pavement"......love it!! Classic quote!

BTW....I think I'm going to go with the dark blue paint. My 750 Paso is light blue, my 999 is red and my 900 SS/CR is black....so just to have a little of everything......dark blue it shall be! LOL

Well and unfortunate update to my 906 project. Got her titled and insured and on the way in to town.....shop class of all places.....when she caught fire and burned the rear right side (panel and taillight, battery box, battery, rear fender and wiring harness). Sucked as I didnt have a fire extingui...

I was initially planning on blue but I mean it IS a Ducati and traditionally they are red. LOL

My bad, I'll buy a vowel for $5 and hit the ferry on over. LOL Funny that my friend I learned the "OZ" from was a Doctor as well. haha So I'm imagining there are a lot of great twisties over there in NEW ZEALAND with the mountains and all. You guys have any video's on You Tube or anything?...

Ya I hear that around here as well but its a wife that doesnt understand the beauty of a older musclecar. haha I'm full time college student now and am in auto shop class, currently rebuilding a 1995 Mustang 5.0. Gonna drop the 302 and drop in a 351W out of a F150 truck......it's what the Saleen mod...

I did a VIN check and nothing came up insurance (total or claim) wise. When I looked her over (before trading), the frame, forks and everything looked straight...she drove straight and nothing seemed warped (rims, rotors). She fired right up and sounded terrific (Staintune pipes)......though I did n...

LOL, thanks Mates and its good to be among those who share the same interests, as well as some hearty laughs. I've visited Oz (Sidney up to Bris) on vacation after returning from Bosnia, but have yet to make it to New Zeland...heard its a sportsmans paradise though. Just returned from Ireland in lat...

Hello all, Troy here from the very middle of the US.....Kansas USA. Origionally a Florida guy growing up on GSXR's and Yamaha FZ's, I graduated to the Ducati ranks with a shiny new 999 in 2003 (actually bought while I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan). From that moment on, everything else was second ...

Amazing, and just when you thought you'd heard it all. haha It's cool trivia like this that I love to break out during deployments or field exercises and listen to the responses I get.....so, thanks for the ammunition.

Great rescue!! I just picked up a 90 906 from a college kid yesterday and she has a blue (lighter metallic) tank with black fairings. LOL Any idea how I can determine which was the actual stock color?

Calendars look great and I'd like to pick up at least one. (Would rather look at nice bikes that all those football and railroad (aka train) calendars I've been getting lately. haha As for the DOC kits, I wrote and heard back from Ben Phillips, who has some of the 2013 kits left over (for $6 shippin...
