There are elements of Socialism, Communism, Capitalism and pretty much any other ism that's out there, but the idea is more one of social conscience in that things need to get done and as you're not receiving a financial award for it, you're doing it because it helps others out... in return others do things that help you out. For instance a Doctor and a Bin Man all need to eat, drink, have the rubbish cleared, drive etc... and it takes a whole raft of people doing all sorts of jobs for that to happen. If neither can eat, they both die, if the sewerage is not dealt with they'll probably die etc... so whose job is more important? the Doctor? The Bin Man? or the thousands and thousands of people who produce the goods (food, water, sewage treatment etc...) that The Doctor or Bin Man rely on to be Doctors and Bin Men. The idea that we value either over those who keep them alive is insane. Not enough people understand that concept. If they did there'd be no need to label the society in which you're living. Waffle waffle yadda yadda, Essentially though, people will do jobs because they have to. We currently do this for money and it makes one fuck load of a mess of everything. Remove it from the local economy entirely and treat everyone's job as important as everyone else's and we may be in with shout of addressing the BIG issues in New Zealand. With no money, free food, water, housing etc... available, why would anyone need to prostitute themselves? There may be some who enjoy it, but I'm guessing they're few and far between and the rest are just earning a living? Perhaps I need a field trip
Sounds a bit like Socialism to me, and I can't figure out how all that will remove a need for prostitution.
So the discs are a supplier issue, and bearings are a maintenance item on any bike and can fail at any time, especially if you ride in the rain or you or a previous owner wheelied it. Checking bolts are tight is a maintenance task on any V-twin or single. The only thing I'm reading that possibly is an actual bike failure is the starter. Everything else failed due to human intervention, or a lack of it. Had my 888 for 6 years and the only issue was a siezed thermostat after it sat for a while.
It must of been a 'Friday' bike. It helps if you find a good mechanic & then use them all the time. Be patient, with a bit of TLC & and a good checkover, it will be fine.
Sounds like you're pretty much onto it - top the radiator up, cap on, run it till the thermostat opens, then gently squeeze the hoses, cap off, top up, repeat if necessary. Hopefully it won't stink of some slight coolant leak every time it's hot, for months afterwards, like my 800 does... Can't remember about the 750 (only chnaged the coolant once), but on the 800 there's a drain on the left front cylinder head that you're supposed to use when draining the system, so that all the old crap gets out. Last two changes, wasn't able to get it out, so left it alone rather than risk breaking it. Thanks mate so much yes was thinking along those lines from utube video of vfr 750 owner undid that bolt and not much came out like cap full ;-) mind you amso dumb i just took hose of When should just indone the bolt by the water pump ;-) speaking of which i got invited to vrf users group but what does it mean cant seem find any areas to go too .. and too broke to buy the flash coolent 20.00 bucks hehe oh dear, just well am sick as dog with the flu then or be really frustrated ..
I've had mine for over 2 years now and not had any of this trouble. I guess making sure the right people are doing the job might help a bit. I changed to wave disks because the standards are prone to warping and never looked back. Heaps better than the Jap stuff I've had and handles like a dream.
I have had mine 5 years and have no intention of selling. Not usual for Ducati rotors to need replacing after 32k. Rotors are a supply problem. Battery tenders cure starter problems. They need to have m,aximum power for turn over.
I sorta wanted tho this blog to be make it interesting to read So far as a heads up people , I Brought t a Honda VFr 750 FN Sight unseen accident damaged bike Plus so far good people i dealt with ex owner people that helped in there own time to move the bike Cost of bike 906.00 nz dollars 252.00 for transport costs When got the bike it looked much better than i expected no hidden issues , apart from damaged front disc rotor So in a month or so that i have owned, it i got it insured stipped the broken parts , the easy part , i have to say so. far apart from freight costs from the uk where brought most of the parts been awsome experiece . This site been great to i recommend if you bike got damaged and you love it think about fixing it Even if you buy back from insurance company cheap . You do have to watch parts though if brought new this bike whould on paper be write of. But you dont have to buy everthing new and alot bikes get written of just beacuse cosmetic damage To fairings etc mine need repair for sure, but as example front mudguard if i was loaded Id go of get new one , its broken in 4 diffrent dircections but it still held in one piece , abs plastic is quite strong after for years hearing it was cheap rubbish and just used it for cost its lighter than fiber glass as well. Guy at plastic welders told me to keep it as i brought second hand one from uk wreaker it was going be 180.00 to get fixed but be like new apart from needing repaint But for the main fairing will be worth getting main fairing welded ,as i got price for fairing upper one of 262.00 usa which is good value but lower was 462.oo usa so you pick your battles carefully and you win . At present i going just get bike working . And i will go from there get second hand forks in and leave triple clamps again will have second hand set here in 2 weeks time ordered with the forks . front guard, left brake rotor , right foot rest support (need a foot rest Missing ) i was going get foot rest support welded as just where peg and pin support that broken but as i got a complete part second hand i leaving it for know. So apart from a headlight and way to support it my bike should be up to wof stand in 2 weeks time From being wreak that didnt even roll on its own wheels It be big event when sounds daft but i can actailly roll the bike let alone ride it I had to make it worse to make it better if you follow my drift well not drfit as am not that brave hehe So to make matter easy for me Am going slid the new forks in and tighten everthing up and go for A ride and see how bike feels chassis wise then if its all good take sterring head aprart Change the fork oil , set up the left disc brake , other wise it may be bike frame is bent if it handles like crap And i whould worked on only to have to take it all apart get new frame , just playing it safe here Oh doesint anyone know how to fill the cooling system up from empty, is it the same as a car system I heard was pressurized and just filled from coolant bottle ,it said so in the little book that was in the bike(owners hand book) I know its a 50/50 mix glacol water mix use any product ? bike stuff ? I planed to run the motor while pouring in the mix slowly and swezzing the hoses to make sure no air bubbles stayed in this all though the radiator cap on rad itself while bike was idling , doesint appear rad whould hold more than littre of water at most but be more in around the motor jackets inisde the engine Anyways its of to my other job volunterring at the hospital So Have good day and i plan for next day when i can work the bike again
I know what you mean, I've had my Ducati for 25 years , sure it needs a bit of maintenance but its better than riding a Japanese appliance.
Ya poor bugger! The italians are certainly pricey to keep on the road...but the pay off is worth it I love Ducati's as well, but the service costs and the some times questionable reliability has always scared me off owning one...and yet I still want one? Hope it all works out mate, love seeing these sexy Italians on the road...end of the day...I bet you have a HUGE smile every ride. -Willy
