Hello Everyone,
My name is Chip and I live in Greenville, SC, the best kept secret in motorcycling. I have been riding for 33 years, but have just bought my first Ducati. She is a Ducati Yellow 2003 Monster 800. I bought her used from our local Ducati dealership with only 4,300 miles on her.
I absolutely LOVE this bike! I also own a 2007 VMax, which has always been my dream bike. But in terms of all-out fun, the Ducati beats my Max hands down. It has a "grin-factor" of 10! As much as I love my Max, my Ducati now has a very special place in my heart, and if all Ducati's are this much fun I will have to buy me several more!
I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. If there are any Ducati riders around Greenville, or if you are passing through, let's ride!
Welcome Chip
It took a Ducati and aftermarket exhaust to reignite my passion - after 31 years off/on riding [moto]
Ducatis are fun, indeed.
This a great community, it has doubled the value of my ownership [thumbsup] If things go as usual, you'll soon be infected by mod virus and then you might need to hide your credit card. Great fun anyhow!
Welcome Chip, glad to hear you are loving your M800! [thumbsup]
When you get a chance, also stop in and introduce yourself in your local board, M-ROC (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=36.0), hopefully you can find some folks to ride with there.
Oh, and we love bike pictures if you have any to share. ;D
Have fun! [moto]
