Holy **** Richard are you ok?
Thanks for all the responses! From what the ad said it's a Sargent seat, and it also has a Ferraci ECU as well...it's a 2001 with 4500 miles. Where can I find an open clutch cover? I'm new to the world of motorcycles, especially Ducatis. The sound of the dry clutch is definintely something...everyone else thinks there's something wrong with the bike.
Oh yes...I'm more careful in this thing than I am in my 911; riding this definintely gives you a different perception of life...and all the other stupid drivers on the road. I'm taking the local motorcycle safety class starting this week (tomorrow actually) so that should at least help. Plus, it's sitting in the warehouse at work since the parents doesn't know about it.
I'm only taking it out during lunch.
Brian - I blame it ALL on you...as soon as I heard you start up your Monster I was hooked.
David - so where do these mount to? I'm still in the process of trying to acquire the owners manual and service manuals. Right now I don't have much of a clue about where anything is.
