Have paper work just no time today to look at it. Had 600 mile service. Given the mileage it's been sitting.  :D

Tools, more tools. I need a good forum and a Service Manual. Tips?

It still needs waxed but used paint cleaner today.

Love it, just love it.

NICE!!!! Can't get that bike mixed up with one of your old Honda's that's for sure TT.

Thank you Sir! Still have not rode it and today is booking up fast.

Have to get the CB350G ready to ship. Sold it yesterday and heading to Oregon in a week or so.

Well, no I haven't. Got a few questions into the seller. It appears the last oil change was at 960 miles back on 02/01/2010.  ::)

I ordered the chain adjusting tool and figured that out. Tweak was correct. Pretty easy. The parts book states cartridge style filter but want to verify before ordering. Timing belts today also @ $65.00 each.  :P

Ducati parts are not cheap by the way.  ;)  (Don't care either)

Any ideas on what oil to use?

Oil thread anyone?  :P

I believe he said the Dealer recommended Motul Oil. Not sure where to buy that but oil I can buy locally works for me. Amsoil or just Valvoline full syn oil available at Wal-Fart.

Beautiful. The since closed mega-dealer that used to be near me sold Duc's. When I was getting parts for my FJ1200 I used to walk over and drool. I love the GT1000.

He's afraid to ride it?  Would have been the first thing I did!

Well, it's like the title of the thread. It's Steve-o's fault.

Mid seventies today, Ducati pointed in the right direction and ready to go.  8)  Today is the day.  ;)

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.
