Hello, I just joined this group at the suggestion from the Ducati ST group. I had posted the following and thought I'd post it here, too. Thanks! I am meeting...
So can I vent my co-workers frustration with Pro Caliber on this thread? Does anyone want the grisly details? So far both the Longview and Vancouver...
I don't think Honda reliability is an issue here -- Steve's had 44,000 miles of generally reliable riding on that bike. But the parts support? No stator for...
Yeah, I agree. Sometimes stuff happens. The BMW broke down too, just dealer took a part off of a bike so they could keep going. It sure does seem strange that...
Wish me luck for the next couple of weeks! I set off for this years Ducati Madness Rally in Torrey Utah, next Wednesday. I'll be touring for at least 7 days,...

Have a great trip Mark. I brought tools along on my part of the 'Bong-a-Mania tour, I figured that way I wouldn't need them. For Madness last year I didn't...
Good pick Mark, Torrey was a great stop for the night. There was a go cart that was closed but if open looked like good waste money. Watch out for the lousy...

Maintainence Free batteries - any reason not to get one? Thinking of replacing batteries in both bikes (98 748 Duc and 06 F650GS BMW). Especially on the BMW...
I will be joining Mark as well. We need a 21st Century St. Patrick to cast out those Utah tar snakes. Bill Anderson & Mao Tse Duc (04-ST4s, red) Edmonds, WA....
Bill just do not let Mark talk you into being his deer catcher… Unfortunately we already have too many of those on the list. Bob No virus found in this...
Does anyone on this list have experience (good or bad) with the Yamaha FJR1300 or the Honda ST1300 sports touring bikes? I am thinking of selling my 98...
Den, Read the reviews in MCN Motorcycle Consumer News they seem to be accurate. I rode my neighbors ST1300 and was not impressed… Nothing against the bike I ...
For me, both were too big, that¹s why I had a Ducati ST2, and now a Ducati Multistrada. I just did a 700 mile 15 hour ride last week, after a couple of ...

Back in April I was at Eastside Motor sports and the sales guy offered us a test ride on the FJR. I declined because I didn't think I would be able to say to...
It is always the topic of discussion on the Ducati groups as to which bikes are true sport tourers. I won't bring that debate here, but I'll just make a few...
Whoo hoo! I am told I have escaped croc country! A few weeks ago I had a dream of sliding off into a swamp. In Cooroy, 100 KM north of Brisbane still in...
IMO the Wee Strom is a heavy adventure touring bike or a light sport tourer. I really like it on this AU tour but occasionally a little down on power when past...
How about the new model Concours? Looks pretty good from what I've seen so far- I heard they are relatively light. Are they in the showrooms yet? Mark...
