Red cucumber 1098 chapter I

 Hi friends,

Cucumber is a salad vegetable, fresh and it's eaten in Summer almost in all Mediterranean countries, but here cucumber is the correct word to describe a dangerous and explosive motorcycle called Ducati 1098, 

Let's start!!!!

I'm going to explain a true story about how the people can live with lies. Although they are  thinking that they are doing the correct way.

Nowadays, It doesn't matter , but in these days I was very disappontied.You should remenber, the problem is not the brand, the problem is the people who is working in a local garage with this manufacturer. Let's go!!!!

 

From that picture to last video the time did not want to continue. Finally all finished well.

One day, when I was ready to come back home from a beatiful small city. It was a September very hot day.My dear motorcycle stopped after a few kilometres. I thought that it could be a simple topic but Iwas wrong.

Everybody believes that japanese motorcycle are better than others, for instance the italian brands but it's not true. They want to do things difference, to make designs which the people don't forget for ever and ever. Passion is the word.

Well, when my bike was in my home, I was not enough experience to fix out it, so I decided to speak with local dealer. Ducati has an important garage net what they work and the have preference to receive mechanical parts from Bologna. After two months I didn't know which was my motorcycle fail, a lot of work was the reasson for not get an answer of them. Finally, I got a solution from the local dealer: The only way to fix out my bike was change all the engine, Really George?? I thought that was a bad joke.

They said that the cramkshafts and heads were broken and I should spend enough money to repair so the solution was to find a other engine to change.  During a bit days, I was thinking about that problem, even I was searching complete engines on internet, there was one engine in good condition in Italy, but I decided to try other way.

my engine was broken, so I could to try to fix out by my own and If I had not to success I would  buy one. I had time, tools and garage, Why not to try?

The only problem of my plan was that I didn't have knowledge about it, so I decided to contact with Ducati Spain in Madrid. I was explained my problem and my plan. I wanted to receive mechanical formation from the brand. The answer from them was surprising, since they did not want to have technical formation if I had a motorcycle business. In the other side, Ducati didn’t like the local dealer relation with me, and the local dealer gave me an explanation. In few words, political and correct words but nothing with my problem.

Ducati 900 ss maintenence

 Hi friends,

After too time without writing here, today it’s a good day to show new jobs. It’s has a new lady on garage and it’s necessary to do a bit maintance in order to improve security, wheels, brakes among others.

However, when we work in it, There are surprise that change your time tables. For instance, I decided to change the rear chain silent blocks and It was a disaster, because I had a lot of difficult to change that’s parts.

It the end, you can see in next images, the old parts. Fucking silent blocks…..

Firstly tou can see the lady without her shoes. This model is a ugly duck of the Italian brand, but it has an indestructible engine. Less engine power but more efficiency. I prefer it at this moment.

Then, You can see the rubber in the rear wheel, It was a har job but after twenty years I thought that It should to change, didn’t think?

Changing all the bearings were important task, but it was more easily
