My non SOHC/4
« on: September 14, 2009, 03:38:01 PM »
my 2004 Ducati 999.  Nothing like the sound of a Desmo 90* twin








the g/f's Ducati Monster 696.  (bloody riot to ride around)

i did a 3 day road trip on the 999 and sturgis with no problems...They are a financial commitment if you can't do the valves yourself though..4 valves especially.  The 2 valve aircooldes are alot simpler and easier to do. So as soon as warranty is done on the 696 i may dive into it.

Why, because he has a duc and a sohc, his girl rides or that his girl rides a duc??? At this point we need a pic of the g/f so I can determine if I need to off you and steal her.
