Everywhere
you
go,
there's
talk
of
recession
-
a
world-wide
economic
downturn
prompted
by
____________
(fill
in
the
blank).
The
result
is
a
general
melacholy
among
the
masses.
Well,
we're
here
to
tell
you
that
Cliff's
is
forging
ahead
with
as
much
fun
and
enthusiasm
as
we
can
muster.
In
fact,
as
reported
in
the
New
York
Times
Dec
5,
a
new
study
finds
that
a
person's
happiness
is
influenced
by
the
happiness
of
close
friends
and
family.
So,
as
extended
family
we
figure
the
best
and
most
effective
way
to
fight
the
recession
is
to
focus
on
the
fun.
In
this
issue
we
have
serveral
events
and
promotions
that
will
bring
smiles
to
your
faces
and
your
wallet....Enjoy! |

Winter
Service
Special
Through
Feb

2009 |
|
When
winter
rolls
around,
some
folks
put
their
bikes
aside
and
forget
about
them
until
spring.
Then,
of
course,
comes
the
mad
rush
for
service
so
you
can
get
on
the
road.
Problem
is,
everyone
else
has
the
same
idea!
Service
demand
is
so
high
that
appointments
can
run
out
weeks
in
the
spring
rush.
Why
not
save
some
money,
avoid
the
spring
rush,
and
be
ready
to
ride
the
first
warmer
day
that
rolls
around?

Desmosedici
D16RR
Available
in
Limited
Supply
|
|
Interest
in
the
Desmosedici
RR
has
remained
strong
since
Ducati
announced
to
the
world
that
it
would
produce
a
street-legal
MotoGP
motorcycle.
Initial
orders
sold
out
quickly
leaving
many
interested
individuals
closed
out
of
the
ordering
process.
The
glowing
press
reviews
and
a
recent
guest
appearance
at
the
Las
Vegas
SEMA
show
has
only
added
to
the
interest
in
this
remarkable
motorcycle.
As
the
global
run
of
1,500
bikes
comes
to
an
end,
Cliff's
is
now
fortunate
to
offer
a
few
units
to
those
individuals
who
were
closed
out
of
the
initial
ordering
process.

NCR
Mike

TT
Replica
Words

NCR,
the
little
Bologna-based
outfit
so
tightly
connected
with
Ducati,
knows
the
value
of
that
company's
great
racers—the
men
who
scored
important
victories
and
kept
the
storied
bike-maker's
name
aloft
through
the
low
times.
First,
NCR
doctored
a
Ducati
Sport
1000
SportClassic
to
create
the
lovely
"New
Blue,"
homage
to
the
1977
Daytona-winning
"Old
Blue"
Ducati
900SS
built
by
Phil
Schilling
and
ridden
by
Cook
Neilson.
Now,
Michele
Poggipolini
and
his
men
have
gone
for
the
most
fascinating
of
all
possible
replicas:
the
Mike
Hailwood
1978
Isle
of
Man
TT-winning
Ducati
900SS.
|
| |
|
|
Named
the
Mike
Hailwood
Isle
of
Man
TT
Replica,
with
full
authorization
and
approval
by
the
Hailwood
family
and
the
Isle
of
Man,
this
new
creation
goes
way
past
anything
NCR
has
ever
done
before.
The
technology,
refinement,
component
quality
and
attention
to
detail
that
NCR
poured
into
this
project
are
incredible.
As
with
New
Blue,
NCR
used
the
Sport
1000
as
the
starting
point.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
All
engine
internals
were
replaced
by
NCR-developed,
-fabricated
and
-machined
components.
The
long-stroke
crankshaft
(73mm)
is
machined
from
a
forged
billet
of
ultra-high-tensile
steel
alloy
and
is
40
percent
lighter
than
the
stock
crank.
It
is
teamed
with
titanium
con-rods
(same
124mm
center-to-center
as
stock)
made,
of
course,
by
Poggipolini
Titanium.
Cylinders
were
bored
to
98mm,
and
special
high-compression
pistons
travel
inside
the
Cermetal-plated
bores.
Heads
were
ported
and
fitted
with
titanium
valves
(47mm
intake,
40mm
exhaust)
that
are
desmodromically
actuated
by
NCR
camshafts
sporting
13.1mm
of
lift
and
68
degrees
of
overlap.
|
| |
|
|
Now
displacing
1120cc,
the
NCR
Twin
is
fueled
by
the
Sport
1000's
Marelli
fuel-injection
system
and
breathes
through
the
same
45mm
throttle
bodies
to
produce
a
claimed
130
horsepower
at
8700
rpm
and
97.6
foot-pounds
of
torque
at
7000
rpm.
A
larger-than-standard
oil
radiator
is
fitted,
all
the
transmission
gears
are
lightened
and
polished,
and
a
lightweight
APTC-NCR
slipper
clutch
is
installed.
The
exhaust
system
is
hand-fabricated
from
titanium
and
welded
by
Zard.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The
frame
is
fabricated
from
32
x
2mm-gauge
titanium
tubing,
beautifully
laser-welded.
The
chassis
is
patterned
after
the
SportClassic,
with
wheelbase
spanning
56.1
inches,
24
degrees
of
steering-head
angle
and
a
32.4-inch
seat
height.
NCR
put
the
same
obsessive
care
into
the
rolling
gear.
To
complement
the
superb
Ti
frame,
NCR
adopted
a
MotoGP-spec
Öhlins
FGR900
fork,
teamed
with
Öhlins
shocks.
Disc
brakes
up
front
are
a
mix
of
300mm
Braking
rotors
pinched
by
Brembo
Monoblocs.
At
the
rear,
a
200mm
Braking
rotor
and
Brembo
two-piston
caliper
are
fitted.
Wheels
are
carbon-fiber
by
South
African
specialist
BST.
All
body
components
are
also
c-f.
|
| |
|
|
Color
scheme
is
exactly
the
same
as
that
of
the
900
SS
that
Hailwood
rode
to
his
final
TT
victory.
That
bike
had
been
tuned
in
the
old
NCR
shop
on
behalf
of
Ducati,
and
this
legacy
means
a
lot
to
this
project.
To
paint
the
bike,
NCR
resorted
to
Formula
One-grade
lacquers,
six
layers
of
which
are
lighter
than
a
single
coat
of
regular
paint.
The
NCR
Mike
Hailwood
Isle
of
Man
TT
Replica
tips
the
scales
at
(get

300
pounds
in
ready
to
ride
trim.
Only
12
will
be
made,
all
adorned
by
Hailwood's
number
12,
and
individually
priced
at
100,000
euros.
