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.

...and that's it. I was busy riding, not taking pictures. There is video floating around somewhere.
Hey everyone, so I have been searching high and low for this information. None of the manuals have a single explanation. Our bikes are old and forums are filled with "Shit...my bike doesn't have that, should i?" so it's been a pain in the ass to figure all this out. So I want to just sort it...
After finding a serious crack in the frame of my 900ss I have decided to bring my plans to strip and rebuild the 900ss forward some what. The crack was in the frame when I bought the bike but on a ride into town yesterday the bike started acting strange when going around corners at speed and...
Black Supersports.
Several different combinations of colors (wheels, trim, frames, etc). Simple paint jobs to professional paint jobs.
Image #5 is really nice, just black and silver. Wheels look superb.
It seems like nothing gets more bad press on this forum than clip type master links. I would like to start a thread to find out how many riders have experienced this FIRST HAND. I don't want to hear any stories about a friends buddy causing a twenty car pile up when the clip fell off. Any...
Hey everyone, I thought I would start a little build thread on here. I guess it's not really a build, but we all love these threads right? This is my original thread where I got help discovering just exactly what I had bought, special thanks to Ducvet and Belter!
