Do you wanna go camping? (sh.itjust.works)

This was basically my birthday present to myself. Drag my friend on his newly running ninja250 and my fiance to a campsite in cold weather. It was awesome and I can't wait to try moto camping again.

I was quoted somewhere around $300 for an unusual specialty tire a year ago. I only found out during the payment that they tacked on $140 for the labor. I paid, but I will never go back.

That's absolutely crazy, here even a main dealer wouldn't charge more than 30€ for fitting (not counting weirdness with pressure sensors, mooses, tubeliss, or stuff like that). Well, maybe Ducati would charge more, but they have a reputation to uphold.

Yeah. I was new in the area and funnily enough they are a licensed Ducati mechanic. They were well recommended by my coworker.

Well, anything that has the name Ducati attached is automatically priced to put off the plebs
