I fell in love with the Ducati Monster back in the 90s and always dreamed of owning one. Now, I'm the proud owner of one of the baddest ever produced. I'm a shorter rider and the larger displacement Ms always were a little tall for me. So, i was going to settle ( ;) ) for a Diavel. As soon as I found out that the 1200 seat could be lowered by simply moving the front mounting bar for the seat down 1" and remove 4 blocks under the seat, I was sold. Then ELATED when I realized that I didn't have to give up the kick ass Ride-by-Wire system form the Diavel.
I live in Seattle and will be POUNDING out the miles on my new daily driver! I plan on riding year round and am looking for individuals or groups to ride with.
I'll be taking a trip in a few weeks down south with a couple family members that should put me right in line to catch at least the opening day of SBK at Laguna Seca. OH YEAH!!!

In case you can't tell, I'm grinning ear to ear! HAHA!
