Morning All.
I joined the board about a month ago, and have occasionally been posting but haven't intro'd myself yet.
Just got my first Duc, an M696, about 4 mos ago. I'd been wanting a Ducati forever and absolutely love it. I'm still a relative newb (about 20k miles on an SV650), but I've got the bug and am already thinking about the next Duc (ST4?). So far, the 696 has the DP gel seat, Termi CF slip on package, CRG bar-end mirrors, frame sliders, fork sliders, and DP fender elim. Waiting on some more CF, then I'll post pics.
Name: Satish, friends call me Shiv
Loc: Houma, LA - hence Swampduc - lots of swamp, bayous, and sugar cane
Exp: rode for 2 yrs, then hit road debris after Hurricane Katrina and took 1 1/2 yrs off. Back on for a few mos now. Already retaking MSF basic course, signed up for advanced, and looking for Lee Parks course in the spring (can't ever get too much training)

Thanks for having this great community - I've been learning a ton from ya'll.   
Oh, and ... 

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your wreck and glad to hear you are back on 2 wheels.

Welcome Shiv, and congrats on getting back on the bike and of course your new 696.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures when you get the chance.
