How do you remove the entire footpeg bracket? Do I need to take the entire side plate off and use an impact wrench?

Is this bike a true ds like the bmw gs? or is it more the the vstrom/tiger?

it sure would look purty next to the le mans

I may need a couch to sleep on for a while after seeing this. My wife would surely kick me out, the force is strong with this one!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...mMakeTrack=true

yikes!!!!!! 42 years and 7000 in fines

so the Griso and breva 850 at 56 kw roughly translates to about 75hp. Though its not a lot of power, its plenty enough to get you in trouble and more than enough to be fun. I wouldn't mind seeing the 850 griso in the US.

Breadman, I live in Ellicott City and I have my '03 le mans serviced at Speeds. I didn't know what to think becuase of the few times I'd stopped in there looking at duc's over the past year or two, but after getting my le mans and having it serviced at speeds, I couldn't be happier. They really seem to know MG's and they are very carefule with the bikes they service from what I've seen. They are however the only Ducati and MG dealership around here so they do get very busy and sometimes the wait for service can be in excess of a week, but this is good because then you get to ride your other bikes that have been neglected. I know because I've got an '04 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 (custom painted and fully kitted for touring) that only has 600 miles on it the Le Mans just calls to me every time I step into the garage

sorry, I can't see anything. Just a blank window with a blank quicktime player. What's the video about/contain?

well, it doesn't look like I'll be getting a new motorcycle. Instead, I'll be getting a new kid So a new bike will have to wait a year or two...or three.

HAHAHA

Ok, now that I got mine I can post the pic's, oh and fyi...they only have one set left

I've got some photos that Greg sent me, I will post them when I get home. They look damn good too.

I'm interested but would like to know price before I commit to buy. What forms/how do you take payment?

can't say that I'm fond of that bazooka/megaphone muffler, they also need to clean up the tail on the yellow one. The black on the other hand looks pretty nice with the mods.

Yeah, in my eyes Rossi is great to watch but he's only one man. I loved seeing Pedrosa and Hayden try to work together to pull back Capo. The few laps where Pedrosa was on Capo's heels was good racing. Looks like there might be some good and new competition out there.

all of one turn or 1/2 a turn right? He did make up three spots(finishing 14th) though if memory is correct. Guess we'll just have to wait till next week.

wondering if anyone has experience with the triumph tiger? How'd you like it, are parts as hard to come by as with MG? How's reliability? I pretty much know what to expect with the VStrom 1000.

Greg, I too would be very interested in seeing some pics. I've seen what the ergals look like on bikes and would like to see if the motobits look as nice/oem.

Anyone have these? How adjustable are they? Can you adjust the length from the brake lever to the foot rest?

SV650S definetly!!!!!!!! I owned a 2001, bike was soo much fun. Very very flickable, if you switch out the forks for a pair of upside down gxr's it will be one of the best handling bikes around.

I like the look of that chin spoiler. Anyone know where I can see an image of that on a bike? I want to see the whole bike, not just the spoiler.

first, I'm sorry, I know it has been dicussed out to wazoo, but does anyone have experience with both of these? or can anyone tell me the big differences between the two? They seem similar, but am wondering if one is better than the other as far as quality, performance, adjustability?

Speeds cycle is in elkridge, md. Its at the intersection of rt. 1 and 195. I can't comment on service level yet, but that's where my le mans will go. I've never heard anything negative about them from friends who own Ducatis. http://speedscycle.com/

Very true, although I'm not a huge bush fan, some of the stuff he and his people are doing are just stupid(our port sale comes to mind immediately.) The economy in most parts of the country can't get much better, the D.C. area is booming, employers are offering 5k-10k hire on bonuses for positions from electricians to computer types. Housing prices have gone through the roof over the past couple years as well.

So can I take my 2003 le mans to any authorized power commander or should I specifically go to a moto guzzi shop that is authorized (FBF=120miles). And how important is it for them to have a gas analyzer? I know there's at least two other Le Mans owners on here, where did you guys get tuned if you've had it done?
