New member, new monster, loving life!

Hello all... My name is nathan and I am from western NC. I have owned a cbr 600rr, a harley sportster 1200c, and now.... A 2009 MONSTER 696!!!! Stopped by Myer's Ducati in Asheville nc about two weeks ago just to look around. After three days of thinking about it I came back and put down a deposit. Two days later the Harley was traded and I was in the wind. I have ALWAYS wanted a duc, just thought I couldn't afford one. HA!! My sportster was more expensive than my 696!!! Also, my wife loves it as well! We took it out for a ride today and she said it's the most fun she's ever had on two wheels!

ANY ducati, new or used would have been fine by me. It's just frosting on the cake that mine is new.

Welcome Nathan, congrats on a great-looking Duc!   Glad to hear you and your wife are having fun with it.

Really? Even though there is a duc dealer in my back yard i hardly EVER see any ducs on the road. Plenty of hondas, yammies, and even those piggish 'busas.
