    Ducati 848 Streetfighter

    Looks interesting, well except the price. Love the fact websites are claiming its 'competitively' priced... Against what? Certainly not the Japanese mid size fighters that Ducatinewstoday.com claims people will be switching from, unless they expect to see some huge rush of people from the...

    O.m.g.

    So today I had a traffic incident. I was literally 20m from my carport, at an intersection waiting for a break in the traffic behind one other car, and there was probably a good half metre gap between us. The driver decided suddenly that she was too far into the intersection, and reversed...

    Looking for a PCIII Map

    So I thought I would check here before I looked on the greater forums since I'm not sure about differences between our bikes and those in the US (assuming they are pretty similar tho, if not the same). Basically I think the closest thing to my current exhaust and soon to be setup would be...

The back wheel locked up and just refused to...
