. Interested.

Let me know when yoo do dat voodoo dat yoo do.  IF you don't mind a fly on the wall.

I'm a tad bit slow but working through lots of small items and setting out to get through all the minor details ---

Four plus hours today to get to this





And then to this





The real fun starts tomorrow    

The Ducati engineers/designers have a grand sense of humor.   

Wow...hard to recognize that as the bike I saw earlier

Good Luck with that MD!...

So by the Ducati factory specs my valves still pass clearances. One closer is a bit tight and one closer is a bit loose but they still pass and everything else is still good. The vertical belt loosened a bit down to 82 Hz.  Should be up at around 100 Hz to 110Hz but can be as low as 70Hz.

This means that most of the Closers will come right into the range I want ( 0.003" to 0.004" ) after installing the new collets. I can deal with the two outliers. Now I just have to measure all the openers and make sure I have enough modified opener shims to cover the redo. Of course I won't be able to measure those until next weekend so it might be the weekend after that before all the adjustments are good.

Went down to the shop and watched Rick "twang" the cam belt on the 848's rear cylinder...

let's see... research luggage racks, get really fed up with cutting UHMW-PE, saw the hyper dude again, got a nod this time (was on my bike), I guess we share a stretch of the commute...

wrestle the queen, ordered some bling, new oil lines... that's about it.

Went down to the dealer today and saw a 11 SFS that looks like it went down hard, hope the riders ok...

That's not good. I'm concerned about someone now.

Nuts. I thought it could be him from the description. Good that he's OK but that's two brand new bikes totaled and that has to be fiercely harsh. 

Plus the S100RR, which I believe was stolen...that young man is going to have a problem getting insurance the next time around...
