Well I pulled the duc out of it's slumber and my battery flopped even with a Battery Tender connected and in the house. Ducati is noted for BAD BATTERIES. I picked up a good AGM style from Batteries Plus. Motoprimo wanted 109 dollars and only gave 90 day warranty and the battery wasn't even a AGM (but it was sealed). AGM are copper spiral wond coils. Anywho.. Batteries Plus sold me the battery for 69 dollars and gave me a 1 year replacement warranty.
I was able to ride a little on Saturday and Sunday. With Gas getting near 3 bucks a gallon (reminds me of California when I lived there) I'm thinking of getting another bike to commute on. I hate cleaning up a bike after riding in the rain, especially a Duc..
So if I can get a week or two notice lets go for a little ride. I'm a afternoon guy myself..
