Dream come true....a Ducati in the garage!

Hey all!

Rode my 2011 Monster 796 (Mach 1 color scheme) away from Ducati of Minneapolis first week of April. Instantly addicted, now ridiculously obsessed! The fam is threatening an intervention...

As much as I almost feel guilty messing with her purity, the following mods are planned:
--Pipes - Still listening to every make and model on Youtube to determine what I'll buy...
--Carbon - I think I like the look, but certainly like the less weight and less coverage it provides
--Seat - As much as I hear the 796 seat is much improved over its siblings' seats, I expect I'll be upgrading
--Grips - Have to admit I prefer the spongy grips I put on my '83 Kawi GPz 550. Always warm, my ET fingers spread more evenly around them, and again, they're spongy  
--Whatever else you fine people convince me I need through reading this cool forum!

Flying machines I've owned in the past:
'83 Kawi GPz 550 - doing my best to get my hands on another
'02 Kawi Meanstreak 1500 - thought my age required me to go the cruiser route. Never again...well perhaps at birthday number 82.

Have a great, but safe weekend!
