There are tons of local get togethers on the calendar.  Be sure to subscribe to it, it's in the sticky section.

Most of us will be out of town for our semi-annual Hill Country ride this weekend

Be sure to post pics of the S2R1K on the pic section.

Great group of riders here, glad you found us.

There are three rides going on this weekend. One is to the Hill country for a few days and the other two are for those who couldn't do the HC ride. There is a ride on Saturday towards the east and one on Sunday towards the west I believe.

Take a look and try to join us!

If you dont mind me asking, where did you purchase the bike?  Dealer or individual?
Title: Re: Hey
Post by: ShiftSix on October 23, 2008, 09:54:14 AM
I picked the bike up from tony at EuroSportCycle...  he offered a price AMS couldnt even touch and their sales person told me to go to eurosport lol,  but the ams store is alot closer to me so as far as service, clothing, and acc.  they so far have been my one stop shop.  

I use to be a fellow VW enthusiest and they have a gtg tonight at the wingstop on Cooper st and Green Oaks by the starbucks that I will be attending on my bike so if anyone is in town you should swing by... they usualy meet up around 830ish give or take..

Nice,  so I cant tell from your pic but is ur exhaust just dumped under the bike?   If so how is it? I would of figured they needed some backpressure to make power.? oh and how loud is it?   

I rode home next to a guy on a old triumph cafe style bike Black on black with the exhaust dumped under it and it was pretty loud but his bike looked pretty nice not sure if any of you know who he is.

oh, and.....It's loud!  [thumbsup]



Title: Re: Hey
Post by: ShiftSix on October 23, 2008, 02:01:50 PM
Yeah I would like something on my bike a bit louder than stock... but my neighbors are already touchy enough so too loud and I will never hear the end of it haha 


Plus still being in college Im not looking to break the bank on some exhaust... yet...   would some slip ons make much diffrence? If so who's would you recomend?  Im not really too concerned about power gains yet as im still a newish rider and this bike is plenty fast for me.
Title: Re: Hey
Post by: jweave on October 23, 2008, 02:47:52 PM
Mine isnt really all that loud.  I might core out the pipe to give it a little more dB points.

ShiftSix,

Welcome!  I'm glad to see you found your way over here.  You'll definitely find a lot of fellow Ducati riders with lots going on.  What part of Arlington - north or south?  I'm feeling like it may be time for a West-side dinner at BJ's Restaraunt and Brewhouse in south Arlington.  You all know how much I love BJ's!  [laugh]

Welcome ShiftSix, there are three Duc riders in Burleson to your west.  Tonight there should be a meet somewhere, Lisa wants to do Joe T Garcia's in Ft.Wrth, but I am sure we are open to an Arlington meet.  Sounds like Barnee is interensted. 

Check the Westie Happy Hour Tonight thread.

I can't stop putting mods on my 695, so wear gloves if you don't want the bug ;D [moto]

Hope to meet tonight or Sunday.
Dan B.

Wow, so that's what a stock one looks like. I had forgotten. They're right, it won't look that way for long. Glad you got a pic before the madness hits... modification madness that is. [thumbsup]

By the way, welcome to the group. Good folks... you'll see. [clap]

Interested, but out of pocket.  All day has been eaten up messing with the car and securing temporary transportation.  I'm in McKinney now with my brother who's been my taxi all day.  No flash mob for me tonight.  :'(

You know JM I can help out with that babysitting stuff. I'd be willing to let the trip 9 take up residence in my warm, climate controlled garage on the carpet with my bike. He'd like some company.
