Hia there Ducatisti,
Shshank here, in San Diego. Been riding for a while, beginning in India around 1993 when I was 16 (smaller displacement cycles - Yamaha 100s and the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 et. al.) until around 2002, then off bikes until last year (2007 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic), except for a weekend on a rented Harley Sportster 883 in July 2002 in LA/Malibu. Recently (this past Tuesday!) got me a 2003 Monster 620ie. So new to Ducatis, but I do "get" the L-twin rumble and the uniqueness these beautiful machines possess; would love to learn more about them!

Am a regular over at pashnit.com, some of you might recognize me as 'Nirvana' over there as well :)

Excited to be here and look forward to knowing more of you!  ;D

P.S.: I love to ride   [laugh]
P.P.S: Haven't yet figured out how to add an image to the posts, but here's a quick link to my ride.
