I started the pages on this website in 1995 because I realized from the beginning there is not a lot of helpful info available about Ducati motorcycles, either on the Net or at dealers. This site started life as a single page eight years ago containing only 2 pictures of my 900SS that I was so proud of! My main goal with my ducatitech website is to help people learn about their Ducati by sharing my experiences pertaining to maintence and what I have learned about many different aftermarket parts. Most of the parts described on this site can be bought from me via California Cycleworks, my on-line aftermarket parts business.

Thank you! to those who've emailed! It's nice to hear that there are so many of us who appreciate Ducati motorcycles.

In the event you didn't notice, I did something of a rework of the site. In my typical web-minimalist fashion, I've removed the big 2V and 4V images and am now using cascading style sheets. The navigation after this start page is unchaged for now, so the site is still somewhat "flat" and you'll still need to root around to find information. My goal with the rework is to make the information here easier to find. After the rework, I will make an effort to go through the content to modernize things. It has been a couple years since some of the pages have been updated! With some things, I have learned more since then or maybe my opinion has changed a bit.

Sorry that nothing has changed in a long while. Just moved Ca Cycleworks to a new location!! This is a big move ... moving out of the "shared" arrangement I had with my aggro machinist and now into my own space. Formerly, some of my work would be at home (where the mill and lathe were) and some at the shop. Now, all my time will be spent in my shop, conveniently close to home.

Be sure to check out the voodoo tmp directory as well as the sitemap navigation links I provide to the right. You never know what you'll find in the tmp directory! And the sitemap (or image sitemap) may help you find that webpage or image you thought you saw here in the past.
