Got a bad Ducati bike? Is it a lemon motorcycle? Then get a Burdge attorney and get your money back so you can go buy a bike that runs right. It's quite an understatement to say (see above) that the loosening of the steering head could 'adversely affect" one's ability to steer a motorcycle.

If you've got a lemon Ducati, get a Burdge attorney. Getting rid of lemon bikes is what we do. Everyday. Since 1978.
