What a day. 600 km, perfect weather, very little traffic. Confidence in the bike and myself. Ultimate. Possibly the last of the season for me, so dammit, O deserved that.

I am the third owner, about 18,000 on it. Got it from the general manager of the old Cliff's Cycle Revolution in CT. He adopted it after a customer did a trade back some time.
Down here in the Blue Ridge Mountains it is a very happy bike with a very happy owner. Love the torque, love the Desmo sound thru the Microns, love the jangle through the open clutch cover. Sooo....Ducati.
Thanks. It was a crashed trackday bike when I got it. I wanted CR fairings, but they were too expensive so I cut the wrecked stockers with my angle grinder. I tried to match the frame line.
I'd cut them a little differently if I was to do it again, but it came out OK.
Thanks BB, that's a beautiful view there out over the water...coast looks mighty nice for a ride on your SS.
I've been up on the Blue Ridge Parkway for rides last couple days. Supersports are ideal here in the mountains, lots of usable power and torque where and when you need it.
Just finished a make over. Termis & FCRs installed. Pulled out the simple green and AP brush for that badly needed degreasing... Stopped for a hasty photo shoot.

I love the seat... rode on a 1500 mile road trip last summer with it and it wasn't unbearable. I believe it is supposed to be close to stock height, however it has less give than stock. I only have a 1/2 inch pad on it, plan to upgrade to 3/4 inch.
I'm not running a stock tail light, so no cutout. It wouldn't be hard to cut it out for the factory tail light, however the seat is designed to be used without the grab bar, so you would have to modify it or make a custom bracket to keep the stock tail. Also, when removing the grab bar, you have to make some brackets to attach the seat in the rear. I did so with dzus fasteners for ease of removal.
You've seen this before. I just got a new camera and was playing with it. Been wanting a DSLR for a long time but too cheap to pay. Nikon is running a promotion that I couldn't refuse. They lose a little resolution when resized for the web. The bottom one isn't a Ducati but it is a SuperSport and its mine.
Some pics of the Beartooth Highway/Chief Joseph ride this weekend.

A fellow with a real nice "modified" ride:
...and that's it. I was busy riding, not taking pictures. There is video floating around somewhere.
I'm just kicking around some different tailpiece ideas. I'm not committed to anything (or spending money) just yet ... just working with a few thoughts. I could use some help ~photoshopping~ here ... grafting a few different tails to an image of a 900CR ... y'know, just for shits-n-giggles. I...
Hi all,
Trying to get rid of an occasional but annoying hiccup through the airbox that's been there since I put the carbs on. I went from a 60 slow jet to a 50 and now have some skipping/missing/sputtering at 1/8 to 1/4 throttle. Mines a 900 with open airbox, K&N filter and carbs set up below...
Just Picked up this 1996 SS SP for $2200, 15K miles, hasn't ran in 3 year previous owner never got a chance to ride it, He didn't appear mechanically inclined.
I had a 92 750 SS bought new, back in the day put Flat slides on it Termingnoni spaghetti exhaust (which I regret selling), but I...
Hi,
It’s been a bit of up and down recently with my 1996 SS SP. I got this bike earlier this summer, and I went through all the basic stuff. The belts, valves, carbs, etc. it runs well for the most part, except that it has a pretty distinctive sluggishness around 3500-4000 rpm, but only in...
I am looking to change the clutch cover on my 1991 900SS, I have decided that I do not want a Carbon cover for no reason other then if I ever drop the bike I know that the carbon cover will not protect the clutch assembly. So That leave's a billet cover, I want something that looks correct, not...
