One might want to know that Spectrum Ducati was the only local dealership to contribute to my thesis project. They provided a Desmosedici for display and even started the bike at the end of my presentation. BH Ducati laughed at my request (punk-asses), and Pro-Italia kindly declined.
The guys at Spectrum were all very kind and helpful to me. See attached pic below of my project.
And it should be known that Newport Beach Ducati opened within 10 miles of Spectrum (give or take a few), and they hired many of the best mechanics at Spectrum. Doesn't that seem a little shady...
