Greetings My name is James I'm 27 and I bought my first street motorcycle about 2 months ago. A beautiful 2007 Matte Black Ducati Monster. I am so proud to own a Ducati and always get compliments where ever I go. I've been riding dirt bikes and ATV's and go carts since 9. I love the sense of freedom I have on my bike and I joyride every chance I get. I ride with my wife on the back often as well. We sold her gas guzzling SUV to buy the Monster (it was her idea) and now I can't go to the corner store without taking her for a ride. Just got my M endorsement and I'm all leathered up. Its great to part of such a community.
Welcome [clap] Best advice I can give for a new rider is to continue to focus on improving your abilities -- rider classes, track days, just paying attention etc all help tremendously [thumbsup]
