fwiw I just got a letter in the mail that there is a class-action lawsuit forming against Ducati to address the expanding tank issue. I received the letter because I used to own a Sport Classic, AFAIK it did not address the new models of monsters but did talk about the older ones. Anyway, it's about freaking time. I know that people won't benefit from this and only the lawyers will, but at least someone is sticking it to Ducati for screwing everyone with this plastic gas tank issue.

you got a letter saying there is a lawsuit FORMING??

huh?

Can you scan and email it to me?

Are you sure this isn't the same "pending settlement" letter that everyone is getting ?

To the OP:

I have a couple suggestions for bikes you might consider:

1. The Triumph Thunderbird Storm. I demo'd one and it has the hot-rodded version of the Thunderbird parallel twin motor in a package that actually handles pretty darn well. It was a HOOT to ride.

2. Victory Vegas 8-ball. Rode one a couple weeks ago and I was laughing the whole time. That 106 ci Freedom v-twin engine puts out 90hp/110ft-lbs peak and pulls like a freight train. It flat FLIES for a cruiser.

Cheers

I don't know, it might be. But when you visit the website it states that a settlement has been reached:

it might be?  have you read the letter you got? 

if the letter came from Girard Gibbs, that is not a "we are forming" letter, that is a notice of proposed settlement.

Must be comfy under that rock...
