Hi everyone, name's Jon, and I am a Ducati addict. I am currently stationed in Oak Harbor WA. I started riding in 2006 on a Yamaha Vstar 650 and then moved over to a 09 Ducati Monster 696, and now I currently have a 2011 Ducati Monster 796(ABS). Some of the mods on my 2011 are: Logomania Corse tank, fenders, and seat cowl; Monster low rider seat, ASV F3 short levers, Termignoni Carbon Fiber exhaust with high performance air filter and performance ECU, evotech fender eliminator, and folding bar end mirrors. See ya around the forum!

Looks great!

Might be interesting for you to write a little comparison between your old 696 and this 796. I rode a 696 before buying a 796 and I still think a lot of people think the difference is 100cc. 

Hope you get some good weather soon!

Nice ride, Jon.
I like the colors.
DucSea has great (i.e. free!  ) burgers on Saturdays. I'll look for 'ya!

nice ride, Jon. Love the tri-colore look. I am getting a set of IOM kit from Ducati of Seattle. We should meet up and do some photo shoot when it gets warmer and drier and go for a ride after.  Speaking of Ducati of Seattle, there is an open house from 2 to 4.  I'm going to try to make it down there for about an hour or so. My sales Rep, Peter, is an awesome guy. He totally steered me in the right direction when I went to get a bike. That guy can ride a bike like nobody's business. Welcome to Washington .
