Alec I thought HJ was allowed here :o ..... To answer your question about the luggage, I know of no one who has tried that stuff on a PS. I have read some...
+1 on stainless steel spokes. I'm a little surprised Ducati didn't mount ss-spokes right away. My '95 BMW's have ss-spoked and rims and not a sign of rust or...

Apologies for the confusion, Dale. The patented design of the BMW wheels allows running tubeless tires. The SportClassic wheels do not. Enjoy your ride...
That's what I thought, Ron. I just wanted to double check. I'll try to stop and get some pictures of the route that I take on the ride tomorrow so that you can...
I posted a few pictures of what a Paul Smart looks like with the large Ducati tankbag and soft saddlebags on it. The lighting was kind of harsh so the picture...
Yeah, pretty good. The pics are fine. Well, I now have to decide. Thanks all, for the info. Alec ... Re: [Ducati-sportclassic] Re: Luggage for Sport...

467 miles, It's all in a day's ride for a Paul Smart. If anyone tells you that you can't sport tour on a Paul Smart have them take a look at the photos that I...

Honestly I agree with you. I used to race at Loudon and Bridgehampton and we had noise restrictions sunday at the bridge. In fact when I drove Skip Barber...
Dale, Perhaps this will clarify the original message and what was being calculated. I am not posting it (or anything else) to the list, but you are welcome to...
John No worries there could be a grip load of red ones, I would stop and look at each one. They just have that "look"..... We ride up SB way all the time...
