memo to self, dont buy a cati
Seconded. Nowt but hassle.
Ya shoulda kept the KTM and dumped the spag-bog. I once owned a dogcatti, selling it was the best experience I had with it.
That is an expensive run! Is this common with Ducati's, or have you just been really unlucky?
Sometimes I ride it, lol.
You're replacing the rotors for the second time in 33k? Farken hell... best I go find GiJoe quick, to show him there are people spending more than I on bikes. You need to look at my Hornet ticking over the 100,000km mark blog, just beneath yours Rear rotor was replaced around 80,000km, the front wheel bearings around 96,000km I think. Front rotors haven't been replaced yet.

40,000 km for our one, so just about broken in I think.

Cheers BOGAR... I love the idea of gated community, but also see it as a sort of self-enforced segregation in regards to not being the norm. One of the ideas behind, well, the idea, is that we would work "smarter". To the point where you wouldn't drive 50 miles to work if you could do the job from home or where there is someone else who drives to near where you are that has the same skills as you, if you see what I mean. If the skills are available locally, then I would expect "us" to use them locally and instead of a gated community there would be just a community. Ideally mini hospitals would spring up everywhere, as would schools etc... Dreams eh, who'd have 'em .
I agree about the working for reward part. The only way around it is to have small self regulating groups. A friend once suggested I join a group of people to form a gated community. Every one brings a skill and we all be come self sufficient as would be required. In such a small community each member has to contribute to the cause and would be easily seen if not. The only unfortunate part of this is it is hard to up-scale as you lose the close nit community where every one know each other. I know its not the be all and end all but at the time I really was considering it. I enjoyed reading this however and like the thought process behind it.
sounds like the force of the landing has pushed the handlebars sideways through the clamps and or maybe bent them.Not ssure you can attach pics in a blog you can link to a pic on the web though...i know you can post pics tho...i seen them!
i did say i couldnt figure out the photo thing. anyway, i'll admit i fiddled a bit and unscrewd a couple of screws, pushed some bits around, and now the scooter is spending the night at richards motorcycle service in j.ville, as i was unsuccessful in my attempts, so thanks for your suggestions, sorry about the pictures (guess i need to read the help page again) hopefully its not going to take too long, though when i was riding the scooter to the shop, everytime i turned a corner i kept hitting my knees, it was like rideing a kids bike. hope you all have a great weekend!
Cheers OutLaw. It's a shame the sewn seeds are covered by so much manure . I'd love to get the idea out to the masses but unfortunately that takes a shit load of cash and expertise that I don't have. Reckon TPTB will give me a grant? $10 million should do it I fancy that given access to the required resources, an option could be tabled before the next election. I wouldn't say that's high hopes either, well not too high given the subject matter, as interest will be all over the country in next to no time... give it a year and I reckon minds will be made up. Give it another year for the completion and production of policy, legislation and potentially new constitution documentation (including foreign policy and trade, likely the thing that will drag the process) and I reckon we'd be ready bar the shouting... after all, we wouldn't just be ramming through an amendment to a law, EVERYONE would need to be asked, including "kids" (13+ give or take).
Can't see any pictures under your attachments?
im not too sure about scooter handlebars but... do they have two bolts going through brackes holding them in place? just untighten em and move em back. but im not too sure as ive never seen them before.
As you have mentioned in this post these are some of your points of view on an already existing idea, an idea that I have come across a number of times in the past including well before this current global economic situation. I feel that this is an idea that should be put before the masses. Like sowing seeds, it takes time before you see growth. Same goes for an idea...sow the idea and watch it grow (a bit of added help along the way wouldn't hurt either). If even a considerable proportion of people took this onboard and started to discuss this as a possible new direction and solution to this horrific global recession, then that would be a notable step in a better direction than where we are now. Every new design and plan has its kinks and creases that need to be worked through and ironed out, this being no different. I for one have always been a fan of the age old barter system and I believe that this is in some ways a much more advanced and updated type of barter system. "You can do a certain job that I can't, I have a certain product that you need". A trading of goods and services had and has worked in communitys world wide both at current times and over centurys gone by. With a lot of serious thought and planning this should be able to work on a much larger scale.
its more how it feels when you sit on the bike Plus i cant figure out how to get the pics onto the post but they are in my profile under my attatchments if you want to see
You got any pics ? might give us a clue as to why they have moved, any signs that maybe its been knocked over by a vehicle & not blowen over by the wind
