So I saw this at the store yesterday and was curious. Apparently, it has been out for several years, but it just made it to the USA earlier this month. I was going to grab a bottle of Black Barrel, but then I saw this on the shelf next to it. The 46% ABV caught my eye as something different, so I bought it. Initially, it had a very sweet nose, reminding me of a breakfast granola bar. Those flavors continue to the taste, with a few floral notes, but vanilla and brown sugar seem to be the dominant ones. This is followed by a very surprising peppery sensation. I'm not really a fan of sweet whiskies, and I'll likely not buy this again, but it is really unique and good. It has a very velvety and creamy mouthfeel, which is also a surprise. As much as I say this isn't for me, it is quite enjoyable, and I am happy to have tried it. It is really good, just not my thing.

This is a new house. Why would somebody do this? I won't say that it's wrong, but it's extra work and material.

Edit: This question is regarding the fire caulk on the box in an interior wall of a detached single-family dwelling.

Are there inserts or ways to keep things in the side cases organized? I ride quite a bit for work and take tools and paperwork with me. Are there any inserts or other ways to keep things from rolling around and somewhat organized?

I purchased a demo bike, with the deal being finalized on July 3, 2026. This bike was advertised as "new", but the fact that it was a demo bike was disclosed, and I got a significant discount on the purchase price because of it. This morning, while reading through the manual, I saw mention of the MyDucati app that I could download to my phone. When I activated it and signed in, I was shocked to see that my bike's warranty clock started ticking on April 2025 and only has 9 months remaining.

Is this common for demo bikes? I assumed that, with the bike being "new", the warranty would begin when I took possession of the bike.

It’s scheduled for its 600 mile service on the 23rd of this month, but I can’t ride around with the access door flapping in the wind, and I refuse to put duct tape on a new bike. I guess I’ll just need to ride around with a hole in the side of my bike.

I’m going to make a few phone calls tomorrow morning to see if somebody will expedite ship a new latch to me.

With discussion and searches of the 25+ V2 models getting mixed in with all of the other models, I decided to make a specific sub strictly for the current version of the Multistrada V2. This will allow us to discuss 3rd party support, accessories, and modifications. Feel free to spread the word that we have a place to discuss our bikes. The more owners we get here, the more information can be shared, and the more successful our new committee will become. Have fun and ride safely!

Sadly, it was time to replace my beloved 2007 ST3s. I'm going to miss that bike.

I sold my ST3s yesterday, and the Multistrada was delivered today. I only have about 15 miles in the saddle of the Multistrada so far, but I think I may have made a mistake. The Multistrada just doesn't make me smile the way the ST3 did. Maybe some more time in the saddle will change that, but it's definitely not a 3-valve 992.

If I recall, '82 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim, '85 Suzuki GS700E, and a '91 HD 883 Hugger. The HD was the slowest bike I ever owned, which probably prevented me from killing myself. The GS700E was my first road bike. I learned low-speed maneuvers on it and took the road test for my license on it.

The guy I sold the GS700E to wrecked it and ended up in a trauma unit for over a month.

I know it isn't correct - a former main is now a subpanel (still bonded as the first means of disconnect), but I was wondering where this dummy meter even came from.

It's a bittersweet day. I have decided to replace my ST3s with a new Multistrada V2s. It seems wrong that the new bike won't be red and won't have desmodromic valves. I love my old bike, and no other bike has ever made me smile when I ride it in the way that my ST3 does. I hope the new bike will force me to love it in the same way.
