The All New introduce Yourself to Arizona Thread

Hey, what's up guys.

New Duc rider here, just picked up an 07 S4Rs  [moto]


I've been riding Japanese street bikes for awhile, but took a long (10 yr) hiatus from motos due to kids and family!

It feels great to be back on two wheels and I'm loving the monster so far.   

I live way out in Buckeye (Verrado), so I'm not sure how many meetups I can make, but I'm looking forward to meeting you guys! 

I am an Air Force guy by trade, and I've been in PHX for about 5 years now.

Cheers!

Welcome to the gang.  Beautiful bike.  I'm sure we'll all meet up sooner or later.

Oh ... *drooling*

That's the dry clutch I want -- chrome cover, gold pressure plate, with red spring caps.

Welcome. Just keep an eye out here for rides and other meet-ups happening from time to time. We have a ride this Sunday out to Prescott finishing up at Fox & Hound in Peoria for the MotoGP showing. If you can't make the ride you can always catch up with us there at 11:00 or so.

I suppose I should re-introduce myself to the crowd since I'm back in the valley again!

Many of you know me.  For those of you who don't, I'm sure we'll run into each other sooner or later since I ride the p*ss out of my bike!!  Nearing 70K in fact!!  I imagine if I had stayed in the valley this whole time..I would have caught up to and surpassed Howie on mileage by now!!   

Most of you have been subjected to the "IZ-izms" over the years.   You've been with me through the ups (buying a brand new 620 back in '03 and riding it in every corner of the U.S.) and the downs (nails, bees, breakdowns, etc.).  Some of you can even say you've had the privledge to experience my excellent navigation skillz and off-road excursions!     I can proudly say that nobody here has had more problems with their bike or has a bike dirtier than mine!  Well, except for MrIncredible..but he doesn't count. 

It'll be nice to see and ride with you all again.   







BTW..Big thanks to Tom Hull for keeping this thing running!!

hmmm,   Perhaps I have introduced myself on a different thread as I noticed I haven't posted in this thread at all.

Well,  finally,  Hello all.  My name is A.J. ,  pleased to meet you. 

I live in Mesa.     Formerly from the Chicago suburbs.  GO BEARS!!

The only bike I have now is a 2009 Monster 696 and is the first Ducati I owned, but the 3rd motorcycle I have owned.

If we ever get the chance to meet in person you'll notice I'm usually a quiet guy who doesn't say much, so don't feel offended or take it personally  if I seem 'unsocial' at times. 

Beware:        may make me talk TOO much     LOL!

I've always wondered about everyone's location.

I'm in Mesa -- between Gilbert and Lindsay, just north of Southern.

Hey A!

I lived in Tucson for a few years.  My dad still does so I make trips there occassionally.  One will be soon actually!  If you want a good ride..go up the Catalina highway to Mt. Lemon or Summerhaven. 

There's a handful Ducs riders down there too.  The Duc store (Renaissaince) is on Speedway.  Good store and the owner is a nice guy.

Tucson is a cool little place.  You'll enjoy it.

Also, for those in Tucson, check out the local club, www.desmosouthwest.com for some local riders and goings on.
