Hello all,
i am new to this site... got my red 1198s about 6 months ago. had a handful of other sportbikes before the DUC. .... i am loving it... i put the Tumi. slip ons on it recently and love the new sounds it puts out... i am on my ship right now and am heading home as i speak from the bering sea... hoping there is some summer weather still left for some riding, well at least no rain will do, i'm from Seattle.... anyway, wanted to say hello, and look forward to seeing what this site has to offer,looks great so far... will post pics later.

Welcome to the site and welcome to the Ducati experience. You'll have a love / hate experience with your bike (at least I do). I love to ride it and hate taking it to the shop so often. I wouldn't trade it for any other bike, but I wouldn't mind having my previous bike (GSX-R1000) around to ride when the Duc is in the shop.

Welcome. Nice bike. Don't take the "shop" comments too seriously. I've known a couple people that have had some troubles with that bike (mostly electrical), but quite a few others who have had good reliable examples.

Mine is a much older and simpler machine, but has been exemplary.
