Title: New 696 in Chicago
Post by: ChiDuc on December 28, 2008, 08:44:06 AM
I've been lurking here while shopping for my first "real" bike.  I finally pulled the trigger on a pearl white 696 this past week, and couldn't be happier!  I haven't ridden her yet (she's in storage at the dealer until decent weather returns to northern Illinois), but I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way re: gear and accessories between now and then.

Any DRILL members on here?

'Till next time,
Brian

Good choice for a first real bike! [thumbsup] I did the same and no regrets. Funny, when I first got my bike, I couldn't ride it for about a month (accident recovery). I just went to the garage and stared and stared until I finally got my cast off.

Welcome and I know you'll find this forum as useful as I have!

Welcome. lots of info on here re: 696's, and more mods are starting to become available. When you get the new baby home, bike pics are much appreciated  ;D

Welcome and congrats on the bike! [thumbsup]

You might want to check in with your local group, MOCHA (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=31.0), although they don't seem particularly active.

I'm sure you'll find the answers you need on gear and mods here. ;)  Good luck staying warm!
