When your bike is new you may notice what looks like small hockey pucks (about an inch in diameter) appearing mysteriously on your garage floor some mornings. These little dohickeys are actually vibration dampers that sit between the fins on air cooled Ducatis, and are intended to cut down on engine noise. As they get old and stiff they shrink and fall to your floor, causing bewilderment.
