Title: intro to me
Post by: hadesducati848 on October 12, 2009, 05:39:43 PM
hey guys my name is Kin
i just got the 09 pearl 848 and my gf got the 696 ( ill let her do her own intro)
i grew up riding minibikes, 3 wheelers, and atvs, and have been on street bikes for about 4 years now.
my first real bike was a 99 R1 with gears, exhaust, and a power commander  ecu.
i am a decent gear head on cars but am still pretty noob when i comes to bikes.
so for the most part ill just hang in the background, observe, and learn all that i can.

welcome to the board!
where are you from? make sure and check out the locals board for your area if you want to meet other ducati owners (great way to learn/wrench on the bikes)
also, tell your gf to check out the womens board as well. not that she isnt welcome everywhere else, but most of the ladies gravitate there as often as not.

Welcome Kin!

I see you already found your local group of hooligans. [thumbsup]

We'd love to see pictures of your bikes if you have any to share.

Looking forward to seeing your girlfriend on here, as herm mentions we have a women's forum (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0). :)

Have fun with your new ducs! [moto]

No worries, it's easily fixed. :)

Here's our FAQ on posting photos: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=109.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=109.0)

What you need to do is take the address of the image and put it inside the [ img ] [ /img ] tags (without the spaces).

So

Quote<a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=148648039&albumID=2807021&imageID=47310724"><img src="http://hotlink.myspacecdn.com/images02/66/0e5b3c0f33cc423794dc332e44425bbe/m.jpg" alt="beauty and the beast finally at home together" /></a>

should be

[img]http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/66/l_0e5b3c0f33cc423794dc332e44425bbe.jpg[/img]

which comes out as

(http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/66/l_0e5b3c0f33cc423794dc332e44425bbe.jpg)

and

should be

[img]http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/98/l_5ba469ec4f2c4550872ded06cd2b4333.jpg[/img]

which comes out as

Here are some of our picture posting threads:

the OFFICIAL Bikes of the DMF (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=205.0)

Ducs In the Wild - Cool Pics (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=20478.0)

Action Pics! (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=24848.0)

Typically if someone has pictures from a moto road trip they just start a new thread in General (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=1.0).
