Hi there,

I didn't know this forum existed either until I read one of the posts on the main forum, but I'm glad that I found it.  I'm a newbie as well....a Ducati newbie and a newbie rider.  I just started riding last summer and started out learning on the new Honda CBR125R.  I rode it for the season and it was a great bike to start on, but I wanted and needed something more if I was going to keep up with my husband on our rides.  Anyway our searching eventually brought me to the 2009 696 and I love it.  I live in Ontario so the riding season is pretty short. I just got the my monster about a month ago after being on  waiting list for about 5 weeks!!  So far it's been great, and I'm doing my best to reach 1000km before winter sets in. 
Anyway Ijust wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm glad to have found a place where I can chat to other woman about riding.   

Welcome from another newbie.  I'm in Wisconsin, another place with a shorter riding season.  Good luck with your 1,000km goal. 

Hello and welcome to the dark side of the DMF 

Congrats on the new set of wheels.  Where in ON are you?

My Hubby and I are Buffalo and are always looking for other ducs to ride with.

Welcome! From one noob to another  I am in Maine so our riding season is pretty short as well. It's great to have yet another woman on the board!

Welcome!! I'm a relative newb too. The ladies here are very helpful if you ever need anything.
