Hey gang. Both my wife and I have been looking hard at some form of Ducati for a long time. We're in Toronto, and I've been riding for 10 years, she's in her 3rd year now - and ready to step up from her beloved CBR125R to something more capable.
We've found a 2006 Monster 620 that looks pretty spiffy, so it looks like she might make her way into the Ducatisti before I do. I might just have to do something stupid like go out and get a 748 if she does pull the trigger on this bike. :)
I'm looking forward to learning more about these machines and the folks who ride 'em!
Welcome to the DMF! Good luck with the Duc shopping. ;D
When you get a chance, check in with your local group, DOCTOR (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=37.0), although I'm afraid they are not all that active.
Your wife might also be interested in our Women's Forum (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0). :)
Looking forward to updates! [thumbsup]
