Both MotorMilt & I got a little wrenching in today - Nothing major mind you - It was mostly extremely basic stuff. Right now we’re both nearing our first service with the new Ducs - The dreaded 600 mile service - And as luck would have it the local Duc dealer seems to have a horde of bikes in line waiting to get serviced. So with our appointment a few weeks off we carved a bit of time out of our day and set out to top off the oil levels and clean the bikes. As I said nothing major… Of course while I was at it and had half the fairing off I couldn’t just let the bike go basically untouched, so for the first time I started playing around with the stock footpeg/brake lever positions. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects the coming rides. It obviously wasn’t something I had to screw with but seeing as how I could and I’ve always been curious if I had stuff like that in the right position for myself, I thought why not. So hence the change. We’ll see if it makes a difference. That aside, it was truly enjoyable to spend some quality time with the bikes away from the streets. Reminded me that I really don’t do that often enough. There’s just something magical about playing with your tools and your machine. No doubt many others out there feel the same or Craftsman Tools and all the major beer labels wouldn’t do so well. And again I was seriously impressed by the product design that the Ducati boys back in Bolognia have done. It’s a very slick install job under those pristine fairings! Compared to my BMW days it seems much more logical, go figure. So now I’m thinking that perhaps I’ll try to carve out a little cash to throw down for a fancy clutch cover simply for the sole purpose of more wrenching!
