much to my disgust (and my employers,if they found out) i resorted to buying the cd off ebay, was only £2.49 and truned up inside 48hrs.

will have a look on the ducati site for the owners handbook that was missing with my bike

I downloaded the workshop manual from a dutch web site.
Printed the document double sided at work (naughty) and created a full colour manual in a ring binder.
I even got a bit carried away and printed front and back covers, laminated with a laminated spine cover too.
I have to say the manual is amazing much better than any haynes manual I have ever had, and looks rather professional too IMHO .
If i could justify the costs, i was going to knock a few out on e bay and the likes, but just dont have the time!

Tut tut!

The newer manuals (from 1098 onwards) are all "interactive" so they're not like books, more like a computer program which you have to run and click through web pages to view the info.

Not too sure if I like them or not - they're great because the indexes are better (to find what you want quicker), better pictures and you can search through them for keywords. The down side is that you have to take your pc/laptop into the garage with you!
