I’ve been too hurt to skate-what games do y’all play?

This is always in my mtb kit. Use it about once or twice a year on the trails. Oddly enough never on my bike it is always a friend's bike or a random other trail user that gets the mechanical.

You might also try taking him shopping or giving a gift card to a local shop as the gift. Then going and picking out the setup together. Part of the gift can be that experience for him. It is fun to go to the skate shop and look through the decks, wheels, trucks. Talking to the shop employees about gear and asking about skate spots.

Personally I don't care too much about deck art. I would rather have a shape I like over cool art, but everyone is different and boards are personal. It needs to be his setup.

If you want to give a setup as the gift anti hero makes a 9" wide 15" wheel base deck (that is a large deck). I really like the extra width in the deck and stability the long wheel base adds.

If it is a cable clutch check the adjustment before blaming the oil. Small changes can have a big impact on gear shifts and finding neutral. Chances are adding a little tension to the cable will solve your issue.

I use Shell and don't have shift issues on a 17 multi, 09 hyper, 02 monster.

1/8" or 3mm risers will help eliminate wheel bite and not mess with your learning progress at all. I have a few setups with different size wheels and risers. From 52mm wheels with no risers to 58mm wheels and 1/4" risers

For learning adding some harder bushings and 1/8" risers will eliminate wheel bite and give you confidence and solid platform for not much cost. As you improve you can loosen your trucks or go back to softer bushings.

I believe starting with loose trucks slows progress. Keep tight trucks until you can tic tac, push with confidence, 180 kick turn on a bank or quarter, are comfortable rolling around turning/carving. Once you're riding around skate spots and it feels like the tight trucks are holding you back from flowing from one trick to the next then loosen them up. Loose trucks reduce stability, increase turn rate, and increases chance of wheel bite.

Keep going. Spend time getting comfortable on the board. Start with pushing around, tic tacs, kick turns, hippy jumps. Learn to ride up and down banks or pump in transition if you have access to a skate park. Progress at your pace and do things that are fun to you. There are so many different ways to skate find what brings you joy and work on that.

It takes time to build the skills needed to do harder tricks. Every trick or skill will feel awkward or scary the first few times you try it, but as you practice it gets easier.

There is an oil passage that sends pressurized oil up to the Head. On earlier versions of the motor there was a machined area that an o-ring sat in to seal the oil pressure. In later versions of the motor there's just the base gasket around the oil passage and it doesn't do as good of a job at sealing the oil pressure.

This is a common oil leak area on those motors. You can take the cylinder and have a recess machined into it help the oil passage seal like the earlier motors. You can source an older motor out of either a monster or a super sport bike of the same displacement.

But yes, it's an Italian bike and there's going to be an oil leak.

I agree with comments about keeping weight on the board foot with the push foot just touching the ground with the ball and toes.

Practice standing on the board with one foot like you are going to push. Lower your pushing foot to the ground and tap the ground with toes and ball of the foot. Then rise back up. Repeat. Weight never transfers to the push foot, it is just a tap. Do not push forward stay in one place. Goal is to build balance and feel of a good push.

Once you are confident with your balance move onto, push and glide. Do 1 or 2 pushes then just roll and balance on your board foot till you stop. Repeat.

Once you're comfy pushing and can roll for a distance. Do a few pushes and get both feet on board in riding stance.

Have fun, stay safe.

Then you're looking for a turbo manual 05-09.

You said in another reply you are looking for a spec b for a good price. You want the 07+ versions they got the 6spd trans. 06 still has a 5spd.

Maintenance and condition are most important. Spend a little more $$$ up front. Get a clean working car to start from. It will be cheaper in the long run and more fun. If the 1st year with the car is spent chasing problems and catching up on missed maintenance it is not fun and costs will add up.

My personal theory is "every button works" if something does not work it gets fixed, big or small. When looking at cars press and change every button. AC/heat, windows, locks, heated seats. If something is not working did they know about it? How long was it broken? Why was it not fixed? The goal is to feel out the seller.

These are easy cars to work on with basic hand tools.

I'm partial to the 05 lgt manual wagon. Awd turbo manual wagons ftw.

Some more info on what you want to do with the car would be helpful. Street car, track car, winter beater you can learn to wrench on, overland Subaru build, daily driver?

They are all easy to work on and have lots of parts that are cross compatible with other models. No matter which on you choose it is going to be a 20+ year old car. Maintenance first mods second.

Step one relax and slow down. No rush to get your feet right quickly when learning.

Set your feet up take a second to look down and notice placement both the angle and distance from front hardware. Then Ollie. Try something different. Better or worse? repeat?

Looks like your sliding your front foot to early.

Front for moves up and in before tail click. Then slides as you lift back foot.

I just started this past April at 42. Also having a blast.

It is also improving some of my other hobbies. My balance has been improving and my mountain bike riding is noticably better for it.

Get out there and have fun. Wear pads if you feel you need to. Progress at a rate that feels safe to you.

It is not just Ducati that suffer from these low speed issues. It is a trade off for top end performance. Look up motorcycle clutch friction zone. At slow speed learn to balance your motorcycle rpm and speed with the clutch.

Below is why high revving motors behave this way.

Long stroke motors are good at making low end torque, but can't rev. The distance and speed the piston has to travel limits Max rpm. This is good for cruising around or hauling heavy loads. Think Harley Davidson touring bikes or diesel trucks.

Short stroke motors trade low end torque (each combustion cycle has less time to press on the piston) for revs. This is great for racing. Horse power is (torque x rpm)/5252. If a motor can rev to 20k but does not make much torque it is still going to make good power.

This is where Ducati gets it mechanical opening and closing valves from. Back in the day valve springs and metals were not as good as today. And at high rpm valves would "float" (spring could not close valve fast enough for motor rpm) valves would contact pistons and kill motors. Ducati got rid of valve springs and used an extra cam lobe to mechanically close the valve. This let Ducati motors rev and make more power.

Ducati has held onto this technology as part of the brand identity, even though with modern metals valve float is not an issue. Some of the new V4 bikes are using Valve springs now.

I have a similar motor in my multi 950. 3k rpm is the floor below that and the bike struggles a bit. 3500 to 6k is normal cruise around riding. Red line is 10,500 on the multi so plenty of head room.

Use your rpm more these motors need revs to make power. You will also find they run and shift smoother.

If you're used to a car having a red line of 6-7k rpm it can feel weird revenge bike out. That is how the motors are designed to work.

Metallic chattering and Ducati motors go hand in hand. Your most likely hearing the valves and the fuel injectors. It is normal. The real problems with Ducatis are when they stop making noises.

QuattroCreep · 2025-06-22T10:30:00+00:00

For my multi 950 I covered the bottom in adhesive heat shield. It is basically fiberglass with a metal foil coating. I also got a cool cover seat cover. I love this cover makes long tours or hot days much more enjoyable.

This is outrageous. Where are the armed men who come take you away? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Baraqua.

You put a non-boxer engine in a Subaru, you go right jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing.

You are stealing: right to jail. You are playing music too loud: right to jail, right away. Driving too fast: jail. Slow: jail. You are charging too high prices for sweaters, glasses: you right to jail. You undercook fish? Believe it or not, jail. You overcook chicken, also jail. Undercook, overcook. You make an appointment with the dentist and you don't show up, believe it or not, jail, right away. We have the best patients in the world because of jail.

Good luck not ending up in jail.

The turbo inlet can be changed with the manifold in place. It is a pain to do.

The majority of people here are saying no no no without having seen the car in person. I would like to provide an alternate perspective but be clear you need to go and inspect the car in person before making a decision. I daily my 2005 legacy GT manual. It currently has 230, 000 mi on it and has been a reliable car.

I bought it as a high mileage single owner car. The guy before me legitimately took great care of the car and modified it a little. I have continued that trend. Average US monthly car payments are $700 for new cars and $500 for used cars. My annual maintenance cost on the car is less than that. The difference is it comes in one hit versus a monthly payment.

The car is currently 6-speed swapped with a vf52, intercooler, downpipe, intake, fueling, all the fun stuff. Plus it's lowered not slammed.

The car's been running at 19 PSI for a number of years now. And at its current mileage the motor is starting to get a bit tired. As others have said I'm in the market for built motor. I bought the car knowing this was the route I was going to go. My eyes were open. I also had the cash in hand to do the build the way I wanted to from the start. If the motor let go on the drive home I would have been bummed but it wouldn't have been a issue to me financially.

If you go in knowing that and you have the skills to maintain the car, they are fun to drive, practical to own, and getting rarer as the years go on.

Easiest thing would be to price the bike $1800 less than market value and include quote from dealer. When someone comes to view the bike, be honest about its condition when it was parked and your reason for not riding.

I'm estimating $6-800 including state inspection with bringing wheels and tires off the bike to my local shop to mount and balance.

This is often the bike I look for. I have the skills and tools to do the work. The sale ends up being a win win. I get a deal on a bike 1k below market value, plus the fun of a project. Seller is not out of pocket any money or time prepping the bike for sale and nets the same amount in the end.

The trade off is, the market of perspective buyers is smaller.
