Hello all,

Another riding season is coming to an end and it is time for another get together to tinker, refresh worn out parts and make her whole again before you put her for winter hybernation.
There will be food, drinks, enough tools and know how to assist in performing simple maintenance and other mod/swaps. We will try to have certified Ducati tech on hand (Last event in spring, we had Steve from ECS) for advises and commentary.

Date : Sunday Oct. 18th 2009
Time: 11 AM til food runs out

place: Simsbury CT.

Please RSVP by Oct. 14th to flyingduc@gmail.com for head counts for food and I will forward detailed direction to my place. Also, Do let me know what kind of work you want to perform on your bike and make arrangement for parts to be on hand.

Chris Hwang

This event is cancelled due to unforseen conflicts
Will be reschedule for spring 10

Thanks,
Chris

? ??? ? sorry, first I have seen of this.

is this like the DESMO oil spill? Who's sponsoring this, a dealer, local riding clubs (sorry, have to plead ignorance here).

I would love to change out the timing belts on either my M620 or 996, is that beyond the realm of possibility?

It is similar to DESMO oil spill but less structured. No dealer sponsors, No raffles, No pressures, Just good time with Duc riders at my house and use of my garages for tinkering. I invited from NEDOC, NEDR and few other forums specifically targeted for NY, CT and MA areas
Past spring, people did oil change, suspension replacement, few installs and many suspension adjustment.You can do belt change while here and there will be someone here who will be either Ducati tech or motorcycle tech with experiences.
I am in Burb near Hartford so I get a lot of Duc rider from CT, MA plus few brave souls from City (Hope Howie can join us this year [thumbsup])

Chris.

this sounds awesome, is anyone there going to have parts? such as shims/belts/misc bolts/acc? would be a cool time to meet people and do some PM.

bones, where do you live? I can help you with the 620 belt change if you ever need it. just shout out. Never did a 4v though.
