AHHHHHHH!! Sacrilege !! You're going straight to hell for that.

I'm trying out some stainless steel lugs. I went from black to these and I think I really like it. I'll want to install them on the wheels now and pull out of the garage into full light.

Went for a morning sprint through the canyons, got some bird droppings, cleaned it off and now admiring greatness.

My 1299S Panigale has been in the garage three months now with all of 150 miles on it. But I bought in in November and got close to 4K off the price.

Mine has 1800 miles and 1500 of it was from track days Thunderhill. I also got mine heavily discounted from Ducati of Bellevue in WA with 3 miles on the odo. I bought it in Dec '14 and it was a left over '13 S ABS.

What do you think about the new V4?

By all accounts the V4 is easier to ride. So I suppose that's good and bad. Ive not seen or heard it in person, but I wanted a pure v twin again. My last bike was the V4 Aprilia and I just never got into it. I like the sound and rumble of the V2. Il go take a picture of them together in a bit and post it.

Very nice SS! Both variants love to rail so they complement each other.

I like the raw feel of a V2 and that's what made Ducati's so much more fun to ride. I rode my friends RSV4 APRC and though it was a lot smoother then the Pani, the rearsets were very high for me since I'm 6'2.

I hear ya, I want to demo the V4 then decide if it's worth picking up.

Unhappy Annoying rattle

Trying to fix a rattling coming from the right rear seats, or the right interior rear-qtr panel without any success. Depending on the engine speed, the rattling might turn into a buzzing sound and is quite annoying. Any insight into fixing this will be greatly appreciated.
