I love racing cars and mountain so it was only natural that I moved to motorcycles.
Just bought my first Ducati, an 08 Ducati Monster 695 (black with a red tressle), upgraded ECU and a Termignoni exhaust kit with only 3500 miles. Dont think I could have said no to this after riding it! Friends all have Ducati's (999 and 1098S) so I had to join the group with something different.
Off the bat, I love the way I feel in the seat (only 5'7), much better than a Hypermotard. Love her grunting and torque power. Looking forward to putting some serious riding time in all the way through October. Not sure what else I can sa about her other than she looks beautiful!
Upgrades - does anyone know where I can find dual headlights or a nice digital reader? and how I can take off the front shield protecting the speedo equipment?
Looking forward to learning from everyone and potentially riding with those in the area
does she have a name?(http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac206/motomonster/P1018729.jpg)this is lucy [thumbsup]
Welcome to the DMF and congrats on the 695! [thumbsup]
When you get a chance, also stop by and introduce yourself to your local group, CAM (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=20.0).
The best place to ask your questions about upgrades & mods is the Accessories & Mods (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=5.0) forum, lots of great ideas there.
Oh, and we love bike pictures (as you can see) so please feel free to share if you like. ;D
have fun, ride safe! [moto]

Was reading about the CAM meetups. I'll check out the section again. When is the next gathering?
You can find the dual headlights at monsterparts.com. Jeff is a super nice guy, he's a member here as well.
Welcome, again sorta - as I've already hit up your tech questions you posted in CAM.
As far as the meet ups - were trying to get back to it being a regular Tuesday evening event, this weeks sort of fizzled. But a couple weeks back we had near a dozen folks show for a social evening.
Also, we're trying to hammer out some local area teach n tech sessions. Brakes is the first subject on the block for late July.
There will be a meet in Fairfax this coming Tuesday evening. Check in the CAM threads for the details.

Sweet, I'll definitely try to make it out there.
