This is my 2006 ST3.
It has DP exhaust, ecu, and air box.
Over the winter I reinforced all the fairing with carbon fiber to fix/prevent cracks.
New paint with decals matching the Oz rims. I sent some parts out for powder coating, levers, foot rests, etc.
Engine was stripped and repainted, and I installed Samco hoses.
Windscreen was showing its age so I overlayed it with carbon fiber.
I've owned this bike for less than a year, so the best time I've had with it has been the restoration.

Here is my 2012 Evo Monster:
-Sato rearsets
-Speedymoto sliders
-Rizoma mirrrors, barends, grips, signals, bars
-CRG RC2 levers
-Evotech tidytail, exhaust hangar
-Termi exhaust w/ DP ecu, QD midpipe w/flap eliminator and O2 sensor delete
-GP front carts with rear Nitron R3 shock
-Brembo GP4-RX front calipers
-OZ Gass wheels w/ Power GP's

Have always wondered about Monsters, and after years of thinking about it I finally got one. And yes, I understand them now!

A look at my 2011 Multi 1200s
Modifications:
-Lower factory seat
-Flashed electronic cruise using the heated grip button
-Rear seat back rest and rack

After owning a 916, 996, ST4s and now the 1200s, it is clear that Ducati ownership is a permanent part of my life. My most recent ride is this 2011 1200s with a little over 50K miles. Living here in the mountains of CO, it has seen lots of adventures both on and off road. Most memorable was clipping the rear of a moose while carving a canyon on an early fall morning just outside of Golden CO. While both of us were rather startled, neither suffered any damage and both managed to stay upright.

Safe ridding!

My 998R

Modifications are mostly minor:
Brembo RCS Brake/Clutch with associated Ladybird style reservoir mounts
Woodcraft Clipons since I can never make the Brembos fit on the stock bars
STM Wire Clutch Cover
Carbon Heelguards
Ducati Performance Air Runners
Corsa Garage Seat Unit; the bike originally only came with the race style tail with no light cutouts so I have that part tucked away in my office and had a new carbon tail painted to match OEM

It's been a great bike, I returned a lot of modifications to stock, refinished a number of the carbon pieces and rehabbed some drop damage from the original owner. It's had a fairly unusual history; it was originally purchased by an unknown person and then around the 2012-ish time frame was seized by the IRS and sold at auction to the second owner (possibly? Maybe more prior to seizure). As it turned out the second owner is the brother a fellow I've worked for in the past and when he found out I was looking at getting a 996R or 998R around 2018 he got me in contact with his brother who offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Drove over that weekend and picked up the bike and have been loving it ever since. It's rolled over 20k miles since then and I've been out to COTA with it for the 2019 MotoGP race. It was a great time at Ducati Island and cool seeing a few other 916-era bikes out there too.

Any ride on it feels pretty special knowing that it's basically a rolling museum piece to the 916 era superbikes. I'm just trying to keep it in good shape and be a good custodian of it. Hopefully it'll be staying with me for a long, long time.

Here is my 1991 907ie, she is mainly stock with a few small additions these include, -Corbin Saddle ( I have the original in perfect condition), Cobra silencers ( I have the originals in perfect condition) Spiegler Brake lines & clutch line, The complete exhaust system has been ceramic coated. I have owned this bike for about 10 years and as you see from the mileage (which is correct ) I don't ride her much -I have been trying to keep the mileage down but have finally decided to hell with that It was built to ride so I have started riding it a bit more.

2002 750 S, daily rider.

Ohlins shock, K&N air filter, Magnecor wires, Ducati/Remus cans, CRG LS mirrors, CRG adjustable levers, Sergeant saddle, GTL Advantage tank lining, fender eliminator kit, clear short-stalk rear turn signals, clear flush-mount front turn signals, halogen headlight bulb, MCMotoparts billet shift & brake levers, Rizoma pegs, carbon heel guards, carbon belt covers, carbon chin fairing, Zero Gravity double-bubble windscreen, Ferodo pads, Vortex sprocket, DID chain, Corse Dynamics case inspection cover, Corse Dynamics oil filler and drain plugs, billet sprocket cover, Evoluzione clutch slave, billet coffin covers, CA Cycleworks belts, K&N oil filter, Spectro Oil, and a steady diet of Michelin Tires.

It is a Commuter, touring rig, canyon carver, and trackday bike. It has done Los Angeles-San Francisco many times. And, it has done both Los Angeles-Bishop, and back, in one day, and Los Angeles-Las Vegas-Hoover Dam, and back, in one day. It is a very stable, predictable bike. Out on the Open Road, I get a lot of looks from Harley Road Kings, and Honda Goldwing riders. It is going on this years West Coast Meet.

I could not ask any more of an innocuous, flat-black Ducati.

NOTE

Without the mechanical skills of fellow forum member, Redpato, the ride would be a whole lot bumpier. Thanks, Brother!

My smallest and favorite bike to ride because it has 72 hp and I can ring it's neck without scaring myself.
It starts instantly all weathers and I can leave work without waiting for the warmup and no iced carbs.

Here's my 2017 Multistrada 950. It's got the Ducati Enduro Package, Barkbusters, and a Puig Racing screen. This is my return to motorcycles after nine years away and I love it for the all day comfort and the places it can take me. My favorite ride was a trip out to the Mendocino National Forest last month. It was my first moto camping trip.

Ducati Supersport ”S”
started its life as an black 750SSie -01. Then rebuilt in Italy to a full blown Cafe Racer, that’s when I bought the bike. A leaking fuel tank forced me to swap tank, and then it went out of control..
  • Modified 748 tank, in British Racing Green
  • Ohlins forks from Aprilia RSV Mille R, with custom made triple clamp
  • Ohlins rear shock
  • KOSO Thunderbolt headlamp
  • KOSO TNT04 Multi-instrument
  • New seat with memory foam
  • Rizoma handlebar and grips
  • steering damper 996
  • Powder coated frame
  • Multiple CNC-machined brackets
  • Pirelli Diablo Rosso III
  • Carbon fenders
  • Akrapovic GP
  • and moooore…

Sounds like a WWII bomber, and rides great on the full Ohlins!
