Good morning all, just a quick blurb about a new member......me.....or him........that bloke, well anyhoo I am like most a bike nut and have owned pretty much everything except for a Ducati until recently! I have owned large capacity V-twins before as well as single pots, inline twins and inline fours! I have ridden Triumph triples and the list goes on. About 20 years ago I was in the position to buy the bike that was until then only a picture stuck to my wall.....a Mike Hailwood Replica! I fronted up with all my gear on my restored 1977 Kawasaki Z1000 which I absolutely loved until anything remotely twisty appeared! And was told I could take it out for a test ride.....very trusting but I had that kind of face. Well to be brutally honest it scared the pants off me as the handling and brakes were well shocking! One shattered child dream and 20 years later I had the opportunity to sit on and ride behind a friends S4R and decided it was time to give it another go. I rode my Monster 1100 and fell immediately in love as it was fantastic. As the years have progressed and all the stupid (but fun) things are catching up to me the sports bike riding position is no longer possible for extended periods but I still give it the beans and enjoy twisting mountain roads so the Ducati fit the bill perfectly! And is gorgeous to boot.
The bike well currently it has SC Project exhausts and Factory carbon in various locations but that is it.......for the moment! The sales pitch to my wife was this is the last bike I will ever own and to be honest.....that wouldn't bother me in the slightest!
Cheers and thanks for having me.
Scott
