Title: Hello from Beaverton, Oregon
Post by: elmangaso on August 25, 2009, 01:06:33 PM
I'm Tyler from  Beaverton, Oregon

I've been riding less than 4 years, and the last 3 were on a Suzuki GS500F
In may I traded that in for a brand new Ducati Monster 1100 in gloss black

I'm glad to have found this forum. Looks like lots of good info and knowledgeable riders to question.

Cheers!

Welcome Tyler,

I also started on a GS500F.  It's fun, but I'm sure you're having even more fun on your Duc! [thumbsup]

We'd love to see your bike if you have any pictures to share. ;D

Oh, and when you get a chance, please stop in and say hi in your local forum, NorthWest (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=27.0).

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. And yes, I'm having alot more fun on the Ducati. Probably a little too much fun  [cheeky]
I'll post up some pictures soon. I need to do another little photo session...I just got her back from her first service/repair session (long story) with some addtional bling added and a new exhaust.

Cheers!
