Even on that Ducati, if the bolt were at 200 or at 250, you will NOT die! Obviously, you would have catastrophe if that bolt were left at 100 ft-lb. But if you routinely handle car lug nuts, you should be able to differentiate between 100 vs 200 ft-lb of torque without needing a torque wrench.
What I am getting at is before picking up the torque wrench, make sure you can reliably tell if it is out of whack by 100% or not. If you can not, you should NOT be wrenching.
