About Wounded Duc

Wounded Duc was started by me, Mark Hatten, in 2001.  Racing bikes means stripping all the bodywork, street gear, etc., off and boxing it up in storage.  I decided it was easier to sell the street parts at the beginning of the season, then part out the racebike at the end of the year.  I sold parts through the various Ducati internet sites, to fellow racers, and through word-of-mouth.  I created my first Wounded Duc website in 2002. Wounded Duc is now an LLC incorporated in the state of Ohio.  It's still just a part-time business that I work hard to squeeze in between my real job, family, racing, etc.  I'm just a guy who races, rides, and loves Ducatis, and started a small part-time Internet business that helps defray some of the racing expenses.  It's not a big company with plush offices, multiple employees, and a hefty ad budget.  However, that also means that you're not paying for any of that! I now part 6 to 8 bikes a year.  I don't buy crashed bikes, auction bikes, or salvage title bikes.  I hold the title to all of the bikes, and I will, upon request, supply the VIN of the bike from which the parts you purchased came.  If you're rebuilding a salvage bike, many states now require that documentation.  You should demand it either way.  Not to get off on a lecture about stolen bikes, but if your seller can't or won't provide that information, why do you think that is?  He just "happened" to buy a load of Ducati parts at such a bargain price that he can turn around and resell them at a profit?  Hmmmmmm . . .  Remember, bikes are stolen because there is a ready market for the used parts.  If you buy parts without knowing their background, you're contributing to the problem!  Okay, off the soapbox. My goal is to sell high-quality used Ducati parts at a fair price.  I want you to be happy with your purchase and to tell your friends about Wounded Duc!  Read what some of our customers have to say here.
