If that is not a misprint and that actually is the cost of that thing then that is what I would call f#@ked up!! You have to be kidding me! $85.00, sure, that's more like it. But something tells me nothing on a new Ducati costs $85.00. [bang]

Somebody call the wambulance.  [roll] Maybe you should stick to Japanese bikes if you have budgetary concerns?  :-*

Yup. Brembo sets the cost, dealers choose markup. Ours is much smaller than elsewhere.

Yes, that is f#@ked up and nobody is throwing rocks at AMS. Who doesn't have budgetary concerns? And yes, I will stick to my Jap bikes thank you very much. I have all the expensive Ducati stuff I can stand. Will that make someone go $850 faster? If so maybe I should look into it! [laugh]

Man, I don't know about all that but I do know if anyone ever feels like they need to trade-in their Duc on something else (horrors!), just take yourself to Arkansas.  After two solid days of some seriously demented, twisty roads, I can say without hesitation, Ducati make SUPERbikes!

I'm just sayin'   [coffee]

Funny, my Jap SBKs work really well there too! [laugh]

Cher


Yeah but do they brrrrrrap out the corners?  No.  I didn't think so  [laugh]

Yep.  Just a few short years before I'm eligible for Senior discounts at restaraunts and hotels.  Wonder if McDonald's has Senior Happy Meals?  Little lunches with toy dentures...

I'm all about Luby's over 55 discounts but you have to eat like at 4:30 in the f#@king afternoon!!! I'm saying nuke 'em from orbit!! No one should have to eat dinner at god damn 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. They have one pissed off senior citizen on their hands!!!! >:( [laugh]
