Hi, I'm Greg. I live in Baltimore, MD and I bought my first bike earlier this summer. It's a 2007 Monster S4R-T. I'd ridden a few times before on various other bikes, but never really went anywhere. I have a '79 KZ650 drag bike that I've messed with here and there over the years as well, but it never made it back on the street since I've owned it. (Anyone interested? lol) Since buying the Duc a few months ago, I've already put over 2000 miles on it. It's just a blast to ride.

welcome to the board Greg.

Welcome. About 3 weeks after I got my S4R this spring, I put about 1600 miles on it in 5 days hitting 8 states. It is a blast to ride for sure.

Welcome.

Quite a number of folks in your area, and down to DC. The balto + gang

And on here there's CAM

- a little more DC centric that that FB group, but folks are all around from VA beach, up to near the PA border.

DC metro'ish is also home for Mid Atlantic Ducati (MAD) the official Desmo Owners Group of the area

- This on is an 'official' club with dues and such (like $20/year) but the FB page isn't closed or anything



And an S4R as your first real to you bike? You do like getting in deep early! That's a lot of Monster

Yeah, I figured "Go big or go home," right? It was daunting at first, but the throttle tamer made a huge difference for me, and now I'm at the point where I want to step the cam on it back to the stock profile. Before I dumped facebook, I was a member of the Baltimore Ducati group, but I haven't met up with anyone yet. Thanks for the links!
