Re: luggage questins from newbie

Boy, let the dealer sit a few days and they get real creative with deals. They called me this morning with a whole new attitude talking about wanting to unload before the end of the month etc... I'm waiting to hear back from my credit union first before going with their financing, but the deal is ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

Finally got my bike back from the dealer and it has two new problems. I managed to get down to the Ducati dealer with it and they gave me a decent offer, but it just isn't feasible. Doesn't look like I'll be a Ducati owner anytime soon. Even worse is I'm still stuck with the problem child. :(

Oh ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

I'm still finding conflicting information on DP bags. Can someone confirm if the panniers for the '06 will work on the '07 bikes and also the top rack. The Givi mount on twisted throtte says it does not work on the '07 bikes. Is the rear end different on the '07 bikes? I've heard both ways and now ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

"So did you bring it home today?"

Not yet, but I'll get to that at the end. I went down today and rode both the 1100s and the Tiger. I hated the Tiger. Talk about totally unimpressed with a bike. Nothing seems right about the bike for me. My hands were numb about 5 minutes into the ride. The ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

We only have 1 dealer in town or maybe even the state for that matter. Luckily I've heard great things about them since they opened up. They started as the Triumph shop then took over the Ducati from another place. I can get a discount on anything from them other than the bike all ready as they ...

Re: luggage questins from newbie

Took a trip over to the dealer today to sit on, poke at, flip levers, kick tires and get a feel for them. Couldn't ride today because I had my 3 year old with me. First thing I have to say is that I have never liked Black motorcycles, but the Black S with the Ohlins and Carbon Fiber parts is ...

Re: 2 up touring, noob question.

my wife has taken several long rides with me (the latest being 900km in 3 days) and her only comment is that with the DP panniers foot position is somewhat limited because her heels and calfs are coming into contact with the luggage. On the other side of that though she can dangle her feet as they ...
