Welcolm to Ducati my friend!!!

Regearing that thing a little lower will fix a lot of the vibration problem and just all around make the bike funner to ride. One question though...are you sure that thing has a 190 on the back????

Yes, you should receive 7 lashings for the comments about the GEEEESSSRRR.
