My name is coddswaddle in San Francisco and I just got my first ever shifting motorcycle last week (been riding twist and go scooters for years), a 2002 Monster 620 Dark. So far I'm loving it, it's a really gorgeous machine that fits me perfectly.
Of course I've got leaky tank hinge syndrome on it, so I'm joining forums left and right for answer.

Welcome to the DMF! Definitely swing by the MOB (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=19.0) (Monsters of the Bay Area) and introduce yourself, we're a friendly group if a bit rough around the edges. ;)
We have wrenching clinics from time to time so that might be a good opportunity for you to get some help with your 620. [thumbsup]
Hope to meet you at a local event or ride sometime soon.
