Just a quick introduction.
I'm a Bay Area boy, born and raised. I have been riding for about 11 years now and have had all sorts of bikes from a 1957 Triumph T110 chopper to Japanese sport bikes to a Confederate Hellcat. My last bike was a 2006 Triumph Thruxton that was totaled when someone decided their cage needed to be where I was.
I now have a 2009 696. I got it June 6 and just rolled over 4300 miles. My last Ducati was a '95 900 SuperSport with all the upgrades that could have been done to it - from engine bore to 944 to carbs to Nichols lighter and sturdier everything to complete carbon bodywork (I was the third owner and all the work was done before I got it).
I love my 696. I love riding. I hope I have some input to give. I know I am going to have questions too.

Welcome, welcome. If you're around SF, we're meeting up at Zeitgeist tomorrow evening. Stop by and we'll buy you a [drink]. Check the local board for specifics.
I would love to meet up, but I'm stuck in school for the next 4 weeks 3 nights a week and then I am free from school forever. :)
Welcome and congrats on the 696! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. [moto]
Hope to meet you at one of the local events soon. [beer]
