I have a feeling I've seen you before maybe on the 405

I have a feeling i've seen you at your work since my parents live in Torrance and i frequent cyclegear for last minute needs...

strangely, i havent really seen too many monsters on the 405 when im on it

Leo, first break down was nerve wracking for me but there is a guy here named Nick (speeddog) who's a desmo mechanic
well respected in the community to which i took my bike for some fixing, you should check him out when need be
it's called Valley Desmo Service

Thanks for all the warm welcome. I am in Wilshire/K-Town. After couple days of riding, I am already finding small stuff to fix. My stop light is "on" all the time (it's one of those aftermarket LED taillight), some wiring needs attention (probably Ducati did this), I need to replace left foot lever rubber piece (it's all worn out) or get a nice rear set, clutch and brake lever gotta go, Needs bar end mirror. I got a rear stand but need to get a front stand just in case I need to take this whole thing apart.
