Hi,
I'm from Torrington CT. I own a 09 Monster 696 and loving it. I've owed a ducati since 2008 when my husband bought one for me as a surprise as this was my dream bike since I was a kid. I've been riding a motorcycle since 2001 and also own a Harley Street Glide that I've ridin across country 3 times. I love riding my monster, it's a great fun bike.
Welcome to the DMF! :)
Gift from your husband? Lucky woman. [thumbsup]
