Hi, I'm Greg and I've been riding motorcycles for over forty five years. It almost hurts to admit that. I started off on a mini bike with 3.5 horsepower, and a pull cord for a starter. I moved up to trail bikes, then played a little motocross and graduated to the street. I've owned cruisers, sportbikes, Harley's and finally my dream Ducati. I just purchased a new 2012, 1100 EVO, Monster and love it. I have to admit, I'm allready looking at upgrading to a 1199 Pinegale. Have fun and just remember to "keep the rubber side down".
welcome to the board. How far north are you? I lived and worked on the CA/OR border for several years.
Welcome.
Dunno if I'd call an 1199 an upgrade. To me they fill two different roles - at least in my little world.
