  1. You no title no bike guys are outrageous. A ton of bikes are never titled. You can buy a bike no title brand new and just receive an MSO. Some dealers are weird about it, but you can do it this way. Whenever I buy a bike no title, I run the VIN through a local PD to ensure no criminal activity associated with the VIN, then I purchase for far less, because it does drop value if no title. You can file for a lost title in Ohio. Go to your local title office and get the ball rolling on it. If the bike was never titled (common with OHV rigs) you'd need to locate the MSO (can be printed from original selling dealer) but when you go to title it, you'll owe taxes on original sale price.

  2. I can't recommend Clinton county motorsports enough. They're about an hour south of c-bus off 71 (somewhere around exit 50) They're the best dealership I've ever dealt with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. These things are great. I bought a couple of them a few years back and they work great. I always carry one with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I sent in my info on the Facebook page. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Just trying to get a better understanding here: Is the club only for central Ohio residents? What are the benefits for such a club? What are the requirements for membership? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I've heard great things about Indy Ducati as well, just never dealt with them personally. I don't know why the guys on the RS forum were having trouble with BMW. I have nothing but great things to say about the brand, the product, and motohio. That actually says a lot too, I'm pretty judgmental over dealerships, lol. Regardless of where you choose to purchase from, my advice on the buying process is this: they're on commission to serve YOU, not the other way around. Make sure they meet every expectation, because you DESERVE it, and you can always buy down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I have not owned a multi. I have, however, owned a brand new Ducati vs. a brand new BMW. (14 Hypermotard sp, 12 BMW s1000rr) Hands down BMW was a more enjoyable brand than Ducati. Customer support, warranty, how I was treated, communication, dealer support. All of it. If you're really on a new multi, I believe they're a fantastic product. What really impresses me about the Ducati brand is how smooth the motorcycle is. It's almost strange. They're still a twin, so on the low end they can get chuggy, but once in the mid range, they're like glass. Another quality I like is fit and finish. They truly are a high end manufacturer in this regard. Dealers I'd recommend for purchasing a Ducati: common wealth in Louisville. (They are very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with) motohio in Columbus (bought my s1000rr here, awesome dealer) Dealers I recommend staying away from: competition accessories (I bought my hyper from them, and have been extremely dissatisfied from both sales/delivery stand point, and service. Just awful). Iron pony (I only have used bike experience from them, but overall was very unprofessional.) I considered a multi at one point, but I'm holding off for now. If you get one, let me know how you like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. its unfortunate that you'd have to trade in that vintage tool, even if it were replaced... old tools are cool. snap on will replace it with the same or better. they always do.
  15. I too have a 6+. My wife has a 6. Sometimes the + is a bit cumbersome, but i like that it is. I find myself leaving my phone behind more often (because of the size) which is a good thing. A little less phone usage is good for everyone.
  16. My trailer is being a pita too, but for different reasons. Stupid backing plate studs backing out! Can't wait to get this thing operational again.
  17. Just a feeler. I like this bike, but I'm always up to try something else out. 05 RMZ 450 JE high comp piston Hot cams stage 1 Full yosh exhaust STM slipper clutch and new frictions/steels Excel wheels/contiattack sm's Re-sprung for 175lbs supermoto rider Custom 13mm billet triples Renthal intelli clutch lever Boyesen magnesium clutch cover White plastics Custom graphics And the big one: Beringer brakes top race kit full front brake setup. Iron 310mm rotor, 6 pot caliper and race master cylinder. Bike has a street legal title, but no street legal running gear Safety wired and catch can. I do not have the dirt setup. Will add pics momentarily. $4200
  18. Loud pipes save lives? Seriously? The brake light already exists and there's still a crazy amount of traffic accidents that happen daily. I don't care if you flash it, strobe it, put bells and whistles all over it, and have it broadcast midget porn, people will still wreck. I'd say the best possibility of survival as a motorcycle rider is to stop riding motorcycles, but who wants to do that?
  19. Parts washers just give you a place to do the scrubbing. The safety clean chemical is an oil base and doesn't hardly do anything... It's the scrubbing action that takes care of the grit. You can get one, but we all use it as basically a station to brake clean the crap out of things. Brake clean is a miracle drug in automotive shops. If you find a used one, a hot tank is the best. Just set it and forget it!

    Help me decide.

    I've worked on both for many years. The Toyota is my favorite of the two. With that said... I'm an ASE master tech who constantly has to work on other peoples stuff and never have time for my own... So I bought a Chevy full size.
  21. Welcome, I'm in the same boat as far as time to ride. That MV is a sweet rig, love those. I'm in Hamilton, and you're always welcome to swing by the shop in springboro to BS.
  22. My wife rides. She's always AGATT, now has full leathers. Rides a ktm, no fairings, but still very sporty. We live in Hamilton, south of Dayton. I'm sure she wouldn't mind doing a ride like you talk. And we can always host a NKY ride.
  23. The ownership cost of the New duc's is greatly reduced to be competitive. The intervals are now at 18,000 miles. The panigales no longer have belts, they're chain motors, so that's even less maintenance cost. The 899 is quite a bit more motorcycle than a 675. The ergo's are similar. They're both very narrow bikes, but I believe the pani is a bit slimmer. In all honesty, I don't think you could wrong with either. See if a dealer will allow you to test ride both. There's a few dealers around Columbus that sell both. I'm not sure what triumph offers as warranty, but ducati's warranty is 2 years.
