Hey MIA,
I just moved back home after living in Hawaii for the past 10 years. I have been riding Harleys all of my life and just sold them all and bought a '07 S2 1000. Very happy with it. Why the change? I was the only mechanic on my island in Hawaii that would service Ducatis and after riding and working on them for a while I decided to try one.
I would love to meet some other Duck riders in the area- I live in Virginia Highlands. Also, I am looking for work right now, so anybody who needs a service or anything on their bike just let me know. I charge about half of what most shops do. My lift and tools should be here Jan. 27th.
Hit me back,
Matt
try ducati meetup. I rode with the group that meets up in Alpharetta before I moved here to Japan. Very responsible, mature, aggressive riders(in a good way). Enjoy bikes, good food and a good time. Would ride with again in a heatbeat. MSP Cycles used to do all my work ..Michael is good people. Not sure if theya re hiring, but they could point you in the right direction. They race quite a bit and never had a prob.
Welcome,
I live in the Virginia Highlands area as well. Also new to Ducati with an '07 Sport Classic I picked up this past summer.
I recommend the Wild Ducs MC http://www.wildducs.org/ (http://www.wildducs.org/). Great group. I second MSP as a first class shop.
If you're still doing freelance wrenching, I've got a few things I'd like to have done. I'll PM you later.

Thanks for the info, guys! I am meeting up with some folks from a forum that my sister subscribes to called Bloke's sport bikes tomorrow night at the pizza joint in little 5.
