Hey all.  I figure I'll take this phoenix-like rebirth of the board to cease lurking.  I started checking out the boards a couple months ago looking for pointers while buying my Ducati.  Now all I have to do is pass the MSF before I have the confidence to hit the roads and not kill my bike.  My goal is to avoid the tank ding...what do ya give me for odds? 



The Man: Nick, a 25 year old Software Engineer/Web Developer

The Bike: 1998 Monster 750 (with a bar end mirror!) bought, registered and insured with no one to ride it...

The Home: MA, North Shore

The Time: 0 minutes in saddle...and my scheduled road course part of the MSF doesn't complete until 5/23 



None of my friends ride so if anyone lives close by and doesn't mind a noob tagging along, I'd love to be that noob.   

welcome Nick!

where on the North Shore? my dad lives in Essex, might get a chance to ride in that neck of the woods this summer wt:

Thanks herm!

I live in Salem so it's not too far away from Essex - where do you live now?  As a bonus 127 pretty much connects the two and I love doing that road in my car so I imagine it would be a blast on the Duc!  Yea, thanks.  Definitely let me know if you ever make it down this way.  All of a sudden I want to take the bike outta the garage and start practicing...MSF wait times be cursed!

yah, um... i live in oregon at the moment. however that is subject to change in the near future.

good chance i will be in your neck of the woods this summer
