OP just wanted to show his ride, a Fathers days gift.
And you started to thread crap on his thread.
I'm sick and tired of guys like you.
If you have nothing good to say, just don't say anything.
I could care less if you don't like the new 696.
Just stop thread crapping. We are all adults here.
To be honest with you, you can do whatever you want. Who Cares

More pictures and a review to come. Too busy riding...trying to break in the bike.

Congratulations! Beats the hell out of getting a tie :d

Oh, & ignore the Ron's thread-jack - uncool & uncalled for. He is our resident 696-troll.

Congrats Binary, what a great gift! [moto]

Ron,

Did you test drive a 696? When you're riding the bike you can only see whats coming at you so the looks wont bug you. If you are a monster fan; I think you should give the bike the benefit of the doubt by atleast riding it. It absolutely amazing! Be open minded and try the bike before you bash it.

I'm completely new to riding. Bought a JAP bike last year October; rode it until the snow kicked in New York. Saw the 696 on the Ducati website and feel in love with it. I'm still a novice and this is my first Ducati but this is by far the best riding experience for me. The clutch is amazing!

I've been apart of forums before but I must say; you're shitting on other people's high moments.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for your feedback and the wealth of information!

See, the problem with leaving your posts that violate the guidelines hanging around is that when an admin who wasn't online when you posted it comes back to work on Monday and sees it, he may react differently than the other admins.

the ron, I told you very clearly on June 5th to stop crapping in people's thread's.   We're not moderating your thoughts and opinions on the 696, we're moderating your threadjacking.   It's getting very tiring fielding complaints about you and very tiring handing out temp bans to those who attack you out of frustration too.  24 hours this time.    When you get back, and as we have asked/told several times already,  please try to confine your thoughts on the subject to threads you start or threads where people ask.

<admin hat>

Binary,  enjoy the scoot.   We expect those ride reports soon.

[GLantern]

What an awesome fathers day gift!!! Congrats!!!!!  Cant wait for that ride report i keep hearing how great those things handle hopefully i can get a test ride on one soon.

guys we are all adults here.

why do you care if 1 person or more "disses" your ride or says "its ugly", and then you get all bent out of shape?

didn't you guys get past grade school and learn that you just have to ignore posts that you may not agree with?

you say "i like my bike, check it out"... someone else says "cool i agree" and now you are happy, someone else says "i think its ugly" and then you get bent out of shape, and then say "why you dissing me bro?" and take things all personally.

wtf? learn to not care or just post the one post in reply saying "i dont agree with you, good luck., etc".. you dont have to make it into a pissing match about "who disses who and why and why this person or that person disses everyone and you don't like that or etc"

i will say that i do like certain design elements from teh 696, if they would only make some nicer saddle bags for the bike like the old "mandarina duck" monster city bags, i would be totally sold on the bike.. that is the only reason i'm not trading my old 620 in for this bike.

Nice one!  Sweet looking bike.

Sweeeeet Ride .. So ... chop the tail yet??? New mirrors yet? whatcha going to do to it first?!?!?!?

[ODrides]

Cool new Dark monster, yo!  If you get a chance, post some pics of close-up details of the bike that Ducati is so proud of and some of us are having trouble falling in love with.  I think a more intimate look at the bike might help.  ENJOY the ride!
