Do you have a favorite Ducati stuff vendor?
When thinking: "What's the next thing to buy for the Duc?", I can't think of one SINGLE vendor I shop with exclusively. I have sooo many favorites, it's hard to pinpoint just one for my next shopping binge. Now it's up to you, fellow Ducati owners, to list your favorites in a positive light, and in no specific order other than who you like and what you like them for.
The key here is to post a list of your favorite vendors in a top five. This is not a poll to vent on your bad experiences or pick on any of our fellow vendors on this site, so PLEASE keep your list of least favorite out of this poll, and keep in mind this is just for fun and not sponsored by anyone in any way. The poll questions are nothing more than something to fill out while you think of your list...
Here's mine for starters:
Motowheels - Parts, Service
58 Cycle - Parts
PJ's - Parts
Modesto Ducati -Service, Reputation
Ebay - used parts, deals

I've bought a lot through Bike Bandit and had good luck. I like how easy their site is to navigate and I can pick out my own parts...for any of my bikes lol.
I do a LOT through ebay but only when I find some really good deals.
A local shop here Performance Motorcycle Service always helps me out and does my tire mounting, random other things I can't figure out lol.
Street and Competetion for gear, another local shop. Great Vanson selection and super friendly service!
Finally, this board. Gotten some great deals and some great parts from some very friendly people who I know love Ducati just as much if not MORE than I do...no i'm not sucking up lol.
Those aren't in any particular order because I go from one to another depending on what i'm looking for or what I need at the time or how fast I need something...My main 5 places to go when i need something though. Although I did get tons of help regarding my Yoyodyne slipper clutch which I also purchased from him...but I can't remember what online shop it was  I'll have to look into that because the guy talked me through some of the install over the phone, e-mailed me pics of how to do it, went WAY above and beyond your average online retailer...Might have been Loudbike?

We called into California Cycleworks on a recent trip to the US, Chris is a good guy with some great parts and easy to deal with.

1. Desmotimes- (he wrote us a service manual for pete's sake)
2. CA Cycleworks- Spent several afternoons talking with Chris in his shop, Great guy, lots of info and great service.
3. Moto-Wheels. Good service, good prices, and really anything you need is available.
4. Newenough. If I need gear, I try and get it here first. Really top notch service and support.
5. My home Dealer, Redline Motors of VA, Dave and crew helped me out on tough to get OEM stuff and have taken very good care of my bike since purchase.

1. My local shop for general goods, Alaska Leather, because the service is so awesome there and I really like the staff.
2. For Ducati specific stuff, CaCycleworks. I really like the service and the prices are very good to boot.
