Own a Ducati? Now act like it!
OK, stuff all over the place, but no better place than the owners/enthusiasts to find the really cool stuff.
Can we start a comprehensive list for people like me that are new to the brand (and have tons of Triumph and other branded gear that needs to be "updated")
Any links to good places for unusual, useful, original, ACCESSORIES!!!
I like to have my coffee cups, stickers, caps, belts, mirrors, garage signs, thong for my hoochie mama, c'mon whatchu got?
I love brand loyalty or pride or whatever you want to call it, and it's a big reason that I'm finally on a Ducati!
eBay is annoying to search and the same old Ducati site stuff can only be scratching the surface.
Help All! Help me "Show My Colors"
Thanks in advance! Ducatista!!

You do realize that you're a marketer's wet dream, right? I just don't get why people have to define themselves by objects they own. And its not even the objects necessarily, but the corporate branding.
Why not just get good gear that you like that doesn't have a brand on it, that way you don't have to change it all if you change bikes...

Go easy on the new guy!!!
There are a bunch of places. You just have to start looking. Begin with Google. It is a neat site where you can type in a word or phrase and it will search around this thing called the world wide web...
Kidding.
Seriously, just search around. Some dealers have these items on their sites. Many times they have the swag on clearance. Also consider some of the vendors here.
Good luck. Enjoy the new ride.

I agree. I was behind a guy on a Duc ST a few months back. Ducati helmet, Ducati jacket, etc. I think he might have even had a Ducati lunch box strapped to it. Harley folks are worse though. I don't think I have yet seen Ducati stickers all over the back of someones pickup truck. I admit I have a Ducati and Honda tee shirt, a perforated leather jacket from Suzuki and a Triumph textile jacket. A friend was giving me crap for having a Triumph jacket but no Triumph. Well I used to have one and damn if I am going to throw a perfectly good jacket away. I swore off buying branded gear after I traded in the Suzuki but I still wear the stuff. I like wearing my Suzuki jacket over my Honda tee shirt while riding my Ducati.

Ya know, I do have a lot of Ducati stuff hanging around my house like jackets, T-shirts, and such, but only because when I raced, it was good to represent the brand.
I think coffee mugs, key chains, Ducati gear and such is a bit over-kill. There is a fine line between liking a bike because its truly an awesome machine vs liking a brand to the point of obsession. As much as I like Ducati, I wouldn't give them any more money then I already have.

All you need is friends like mine and Ducati stuff will start showing up on its own.
Them: "Hey, Ducati dude, look what I found for you..."
Me: "Uh... thanks man. Sweet necktie."
Ok, I don't really have a Duc necktie but I do have a bunch of Ducati books AND I also have... drumroll please... Ducati branded racing socks.
I'm not kidding.
No, really.
Really, really.

Funny about the Suzuki jacket over the Honda TShirt while riding the Ducati. I do that crap all the time and couldnt care one frickin bit.
I got a smoking deal on a Ducati mesh jacket and wear that thing no matter what bike I hop on. I hope Ducati doesnt make lunch boxes or I will probably have to buy one for my gf. She absolutely loves anything that says Ducati on it.
