Brand new :]

Hi there :]
I'm Kristan, my husband Peyton semi-introduced me below in his post "Hello from Florida". I decided to hop onto the forum too. We purchased our 2009 Pearl White 696M just today, and are now impatiently waiting 7-10 days for it's arrival! I know absolutely nothing about riding a bike  . Peyton introduced me to the world of riding on the back of his motorcycle just a few months ago, and I absolutely fell in love with the feeling of being on a bike. With enough practice and an MSF course, I'm hoping to be taking over the Monster in the next few months!

Anyway, just looking for ideas for the bike, new rider tips and just to get to know everyone!

Welcome Kristan! Here's the women's forum: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0

If you're a short rider, like some of us other females, here's some useful info: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=1853.0

Definitely take the MSF course and I found that practicing in a parking lot helped a lot too with getting used to the bike and gaining some confidence. There's also some threads in the women's forum that should have some tips and tricks.

Good luck!

Howdy and welcome the forum Kristan,
Congrats on your new ride. Good on him for getting you on the saddle 
Oh, we here like pics of your ride.... whenever you have her home of course!

Ah, pearl white, the fastest color

Welcome Kristan, congrats on the new bike!

Good luck with the MSF class, keep us posted and let us know when you have any questions. 

I was going to post some links for you but JBubble did an excellent job beating me to it.
