Title: New owner in Alabama.
Post by: BrianAo34 on August 23, 2013, 10:32:15 PM
Hey guys, got my first Ducati recently and quickly falling in love.

I got the bike with a salvage title from a buddy of mine for helping him sell some cars. I am in the process of getting a rebuilt title at the moment.

But, I have a 2002 620. It has about 6,000 miles on it.

When I got the bike what I thought was a locked up starter on first impression ended up being the dreaded Ducati flywheel nut charade.

Luckily, after installing some Nichols jam nuts and flushing the engine out as best  I could it has been running perfect every since.

It's missing a few small things here and there but it's on it's way. Speaking of that if anyone has any factory rear set bolts and spacers I'd be more than willing to buy them from you. This bike is missing half or so.

This is not my first bike, but it is my first Ducati. Can't wait to start riding it.

Welcome! Maybe we'll see you at Barber in October for the vintage races.
