Hello everyone. I have been lurking on the site for awhile now and decided I had better join in. Have been riding bikes since I was ten, so I guess that means I have been riding for 42 years. Everything from small trail bikes, dirt bikes, street bikes, sport tourers, to my present tourer, a GL 1800 Goldwing. My wife and I love the Goldwing, but I was missing the fun of a light and nimble bike for the twisties. When the "696" came out I knew that it was the bike for me. and it has more than lived up to my hopes. Love it. Looking forward to making a few changes to really make it mine, and this site will be a bike help in this en devour.

Welcome and congrats on your new Duc.

What kind of mods do you have in mind?  I'm sure you will have fun personalizing it.
