My name is Lee Hopper.

I live in Columbus, Mississippi.

I just purchased a 2009 696.  I'll post pics soon.  I purchased it an Insurance auction in Charleston South Carolina.  It's kinda scratched up as if someone ran it through a barbed-wire fence, but no really bad damage.  It has a clear title and it's showing only 614 miles.  Something about the mileage seems a little too good to be true.  I guess I'll find out soon if the bike has any real mechanical issues.  I took it out for a ride today and it seemed to run fine.

I just turned 40 in December, so I've been riding for a little over 36 years.  I got my first Suzuki for my fourth birthday.  I've rarely been without a bike since then.

I have always wanted a Ducati, and now it is reality.

I look forward to interacting on the forum, but most importantly I look forward to riding my Ducati!!! Dragon here I come!
