Hello FiscusFish,

I have had my license for 20 years and love riding bikes. Having owned several makes and models throughout the last two decades I have always had a penchant for Italian motorcycles, particularly the Ducati.

I totally agree with you, Ducati should be liable for faults/problems, for example the feed and return oil lines, front brake banjo bolt and latterly side/kick stand all of which need replacing on my bike, the stand on my bike is an absolute joke, I need to place 2 slabs underneath, each of which is about 25-30mm thick. I am not knocking Ducati, I'm indeed enthusiastic about them however I do feel that they have a responsibility to replace without cost the above parts to all Multi owners. I also Understand that if an owner wants to upgrade his exhaust pipes for a pair of Termi's this is different.

Take care and safe motorcycling
