No such thing. Ducati owners bring their bikes in to shops.

How 'bout Speedzilla? Most forums, you gotta sift through the BS to find the info.

There is a lot of BS that goes on there, they like to get waaaay off topic sometimes.

You'll be amazed how many duc owners work on there own bikes. I do most of the work myself on my 996. A very good site to go on is http://www.ducati.ms I'm on there a lot. It's also a good place to meet up with local duc riders too.

I was kidding. The Ducati owners I know do most of the service on their own. But I like to rag on 'em.

Mostly because they're flat broke from buying the damn bike in the first place.

For bikes - either word of mouth or http://www.bayarearidersforum.com (quite a few grey market bikes pop up here due to high concentration of grey bikes here) or http://www.400greybike.co.uk

There are actually two 400s for sale on BARF right now and they're both CA titled:
1992 GSXR400SP -$4900



and a redbull replica NC30 for $5500



For parts - http://www.redline-ci.com (norcal based; for all my oem stuff) and http://www.tyga-performance.com
