Chief, I'd say on most ducatis, don't use the rear brake - the front will give immensely superior performance and feedback. You'll be able to stop more quickly and with more confidence on the front. Many racers disconnect the rear.
I use the rear in town for the final couple of yards as the bike comes to a stop and occasionally to trim the rear when cornering or performing slow manouvers.
Re Pete, I agree he's a good guy. Have you phoned him about the issue? He's always got time to talk through the most trivial issue with me and I don't believe he treats me any differently than any other customer.
Anyway, enjoy the bike!
