Doesn't it have the month/year it was built on the frame tag like US bikes have?

And why the hell would they go by when the last one was built instead of the one you actually own?



It does seem weird that the whole batch is aged by the last one to roll off the line.

MCN has it running 1993 to 2001.

I dunno much about Ducati so I'm not sure if there were significant changes like Honda's CB750 went through, eg. 1978 was the last year for the single overhead cam and the bikes had a significant change in pretty much ever aspect you could think of except ...

I dunno if this will help, but see what you can make of it. Allegedly it's free.

My point?? I couldn't remember what year they stopped doing that. That's why I asked. Wind your fucking neck in. :roll:


You usually have a point. Sometimes not well conceived. BTW, a quick google has such information at your fingertips, literally. Wind your own fucking neck in. :roll ...

Between 1991 and 2022, Florida, Connecticut, and Illinois led the country by slashing their violent crime rates by over 70%. This starkly contrasted with states like Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota, where violent crime rates increased significantly over the same time frame.

Back when a total ban on pistols was being talked about people actually did research. I was one.

Many years ago one us state IIRC Florida intended to legalise concealed carry. Anti gun people protested and predicted a bloodbath.

What actually happened was that street crime and violent burglary ...

:crazy:



I thought I'd seen that before, a quick Google shows the story is from 2012. The Snopes article is good, he'd been getting warnings about his water collection since 2002, and it's not a barrel collected from his guttering, he'd built a few big reservoirs.

I think it's called fuck it, I don't really need to go anywhere today.

Gave the V-Strom a good cleaning and lubed the chain. Iced down beer and sodas for a gathering we'll be hosting tomorrow. Outside. Rain in the forecast, dammit. Just got home from supervising a young vet doing a perineal urethrostomy on blocked cat. She did an awesome job on the surgery and gained a ...

Happened to me once and all over a hot engine. I never sit on bike when filling.

I never sit on the bike while fueling either. I'm glad it was the Suzuki. Water cooled and the exhaust is pretty well tucked away.

Store managers that have a stick up their arse.
A couple of days ago I stopped at a convenience store/petrol station to fill up a bike. The automatic cutoff failed (yeah, poor obs on my part) and I ended up with a good quart of petrol all over the tank, seat, and floor. I pushed the bike out of the ...
