HI from HI... or should I say "Aloha"

Good morning! I'm Dave, currently living in Hawaii on Oahu, but probably moving back to the mainland next year. So, I figured I would enjoy switching from my first bike, a 1994 Yamaha XJ600 to a 2010 Ducati Monster 696.

I've only been riding for 8 months, and wanted a new bike to begin with, but I heeded everyone's advice to NOT get a new bike, and took both the MSF Basic and Experienced Rider courses. Well, my Yamaha was a great deal and worked pretty well, but I've been wanting a Ducati for awhile.

I can't even begin to describe the difference. Well, most of you probably know.

Welcome Dave and congrats on the 696!

We'd love to see pictures if you have any.

When you get a chance, check in with your local group, Desmotropic. Any idea where on the mainland you'll be headed?
