Hi DMF!

My name is Rob, I live in GA and am 20 years old. The first time I saw a ducati, I fell in love with them.

Ive been riding for a few months now. I bought a 1999 m900 back in Febuary and love it completly. I quickly became introduced to the DML and all you great people before everything happened. You guys always gave me great advice and helped out with some starting problems! I really am glad to know of a great great Ducati message board filled with guys who really know motorcycles. I'm a newbie and will be asking a lot of questions that might seem dumb.  :-\ ....future mods coming up...

I recently had my first fall and had little injury to myself and the duc. Happy to get that out of the way.  [bang]

Glad to be here!

Happy to get it out of the way?  I hope I never have to get it out of the way!  Who am I kidding, I spun the back tire in my friggin driveway yesterday due to the rain.  On a good note, I made it all way the way up north (in the rain) to the shop where I have a guy building up a set of custom pipes for me *grins like an idiot*. 

Look at the bright side, since you need a new clutch lever, this is the perfect time to go aftermarket  ;D. Good luck and don't forget to keep that pesky rubber side down.
We're liberated by the hearts that imprison us.  We're taken hostage by the ones that we break.

Sorry to hear that, you're in good company though. :)

Hope the injury is not too bad and you heal up quickly.  Post up if you need any advice on fixing your bike.

YAY CARBIE 900's!  I love my bike, too.  Just a little helpful hint.  The electrical system on the bike is a bit leaky, so if you're not going to be riding for 2 weeks, it's best just to throw the battery on a tender to be on the safe side.

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.
