Title: Hi from a 696 Owner!
Post by: Venom51 on November 11, 2009, 08:59:31 AM
My name is David and I live in Austin, Texas. I've enjoyed all the 3500 miles on my 696 so far. I've been riding for about 1.5 years. I'm starting to mod my Monster and my wallet hates me.

I'm looking forward to all the info here!

Welcome David, glad to hear you're having fun with your Duc. ;D

I see you already found your local board and the Accessories & Mods board. [thumbsup]  You are among lots of fellow modding addicts. ;)

We love bike pictures, so if you have any to share, please do.

Thanks for the welcome somegirl! I'm sure I'll be posting pix, as my wallet allows. ;)

Here's a bad one of my new mirrors and sprocket cover.

It's an impossible combination [evil]  ;D

Welcome to the wonderful world of riding (and modding) Ducatis [thumbsup]

Unfortunately those of us who no longer have an account on TOB (the old/other board) can't see your picture, as you need to be logged in over there to see it.  If you post it on something like photobucket or flickr then we can all enjoy it. ;)

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

I assume the bike is red as it is well known that red is the fastest color!  [laugh]

Well, you're not afraid to pay good money for meaningless bling (SpeedyMoto). That's good [thumbsup]

If you take off that strange orange thing which somehow ended up on your forks, you're on your way to be our friend ;D

I'll get the fishing line and start to work on those orange things... ;)
