[Ducati] Is your dealer shoving it in your pooper?

[Mark Hollingsworth]

The warranty on my Lotus is excellent. I had one of the little grills on the
front of the car start to come loose. Not an easy thing to get to.
It was covered totally under warranty.
The only other thing I've had happen is a slightly loose radiator hose
clamp. Again a bit hard to get to, and covered completely under warranty.

I don¹t know about those other cars, but they seem to be covering almost
everything. I know of guys that had cosmetic flaws fixed under warranty
also.

No complaints from my warranty service at Seattle Ducati- I only had two
things that needed to be done while the bike was still under warranty.
I'm not going to the '07 bikes service schedule.
