Title: Hi from Virginia
Post by: jeff137 on October 25, 2009, 05:20:03 AM
Hello everyone. I've been on here a while researching what would be the best bike for me, etc. Last week I purchased a 2007 Ducati S4R and I picked it up yesterday. I've been riding for about 24 years and I live in Forest, Va. Look forward to chatting with everyone and reading posts about my new found Ducati passion.

Welcome, congrats on your new S4R. [beer]

As herm mentions, we really enjoy bike pictures if you have any to share. ;D

You'll find more Virginia riders in CAM (Capitol Area Monsters) (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=20.0), so you might want to introduce yourself there as well.

Have fun with your new bike! [moto]

Ok, Here are the only pics I have so far.  This is when we got home with the bike yesterday.  Hadn't even taken it off the trailer and the wife jumped on it for a couple of pics.   [thumbsup]

Thanks.  Unfortunately she says she will not be riding the Duc no matter how much I beg.  We'll see, but I expect I'll be riding solo.

Thanks RVA Duc.  I should have the title Wednesday, so plates on Thursday and it'll be time to ride!  Too bad I have to work this whole weekend.  At least I can ride it to work though since it will be nice weather.

I'm about 2 and 1/2 hours from Richmond.  Forest is actually adjacent to Lynchburg, I expect you know where that is.  The weather's looking great for riding this weekend, but I get to work all weekend.  I guess in today's economy I should be glad to be working and not complain about weekend work though...

Welcome! As noted CAM covers from Bal'mer down to the NC/VA border, or there abouts. Not a huge number of folks down you way, but as you've found, 1 or 2 are  :)

Well, the question wasn't does she ride a Duc, or even that Duc, just does she ride. If so, there's a pretty good clump of female riders on the board - Somegirl's the social chair  ;D. They have a section in the local boards section of the site as well.
