Pauly Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Rode the Duc to work. Not sure it was a good idea, though. Now I wish I was someplace else. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I took an early lunch and went home to grab the bike. Found out my headlights wont turn on for some reason after having the battery out. There's a birds nest under my seat but I believe I connected all the negatives and positives.

thompsonian Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I started it last night to make sure there was still sufficient battery charge. Ground is too soft to roll it out of the shed yet and get it into the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well make that driveway to and from the shop, the front straight for the mini-moto track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least your bike isn't a 700# behemoth. Then add my fat arse on top of it. Someone would have to call a crane to come lift me out of the yard.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobhawkins Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think the track out back will be all dirt... Shop driveway will be gravel. But I did find a reasonably dry path to the street after work and made some noise. Was going through the Ducati manual when I got back and saw it was rated at 79HP at the crank when new.

Killer_kaw Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Took the winter to clean it and 7 miles to cover it in road grime. Great to get out though.

TimTheAzn Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Started to change the pads in the front. But found a stripped Allen head on one of the bolts that hold the back of the pad in the caliper. Also found that the headlights won’t turn on. Debated selling the thing.
