Hello from Switzerland

[stratus17]

Hello Everybody,

I am a proud, new owner of a 2007 S2R1000 and it is my first Ducati



I am an old (61) short (5'4'') asian and I live in Switzerland.
I also have a Honda VFR800a.
And coming from the VFR, I must say the Monster is a whole new experience.

Well, I am glad there are at least a few older members in this forum. I was a member of "TriumphRat.net", when I had a Triumph, and they have some funny expressions about older members like "... old enough to fart dust ..." Any one of us is that old yet ?

<snip>" Any one of us is that old yet ?

are you?

[stratus17]

Not sure. I'll check the next time.

[ducpainter]

Not sure. I'll check the next time.

One thing for sure...you're not so old that you're afraid of the result.

Welcome from another European

I have had the pleasure of riding in Switzerland the last three summers - it's awesome

It's probably not my last time, so maybe I'll see you there

Did you come to Switzerland, from Norway, three summers in a row ?
Was it for business or just tourism ?
I have to salute your passion for riding.

Ferry to Germany and AutoZug to Lörrach/München - fastest, safest and least expensive way to get into the Alps.
All three summers have included Misano for World Ducati Week or SBK Races.

Last year's ride was Andermatt, Bormio, Stelvio, Merano, Misano, Cortina, Zell am See.
The first year I travelled through Switzerland from the west.

I like riding
