New Monsterati

[Coffeebaron]

  Hey all, i'm new to the infection known as ''Pandemicus Ducatisti" but think I'll make a fine in patient. 

My names Wes-aka Coffeebaron- and I live in the northwest UK.

I've just purchased a 2011 M796, possibly picking up tomorrow if the log book has arrived, but I suspect it will be the weekend, in which case I'm being lent another Duc Can't loose. It's the standard model, with the Corse body kit 

I've been riding for 12 years now, and owned a wide range of bikes, from cagiva's and aprillias, to import 400's and modern Jap supersports, BUT this is my first time trying Ducati. Got smitten on the test ride and now going to test the monsters ability as an all year 50 mile a day ride-I'm confident 

I'll post a pic once I've gotten hold of it this week.

Thanks for the welcome Just got the monster home tonight- and it's first ride in typical cold,wet British weather. Subsequently been cleaned and treated to silicone spray and anti corrosion treatment

I'm so happy to be off the Bandit 1250 loan bike I had and onto the magic carpet ride that is my M796
