New to Ducs and loving it

[wabill]

The name is Roger, but I like the handle Wabill as it fits in two ways.  I live in WA state and my middle name is Bill.  Also, I'm approaching old age and getting a touch "wabilly", if you get the meaning.

I began riding while stationed at Rapid City, SD in the late 50's on a 650 Triumph.  Very light traffic and no laser/radar guns and the Black Hills to ride in.   You get the picture, those were wild times.
Much later, lived in SCal for 30 years before moving to Washington state. where I got bit with a serious m/c bug.   
I presently own:
2008 Triumph Speed Triple
2010 Yamaha FJR1300A
2006 Ducati S2R 1000

I'm space and wife limited to three bikes,  kinda glad of that.  I just picked up the Duc by trading a 2010 Triumph Bonneville for it.  It was love at first sight and some of you may know how dangerous that can be.    I'd bought the Bonny to be the bike I'd still be able to ride when really got old but still could get out of a wheel chair.   The S2R wont fit that picture, but I'll enjoy the heck out of her while I can

This will be the first year that I don't get 20-25k miles of touring done and the Ducati will make the local miles much more enjoyable
