First Time Ducati Owner Blog

With the ample amounts of free time that I've got right now, I've decided to fire up a blog (never done one before).

I've always wanted to write for automotive magazines, and, since I am now getting published for articles I write at work, I figured I might as well develop some writing I like. It's just starting, but I'll be covering what I'm doing with the bike now. I will also mix in the past 6 months of ownership in form of episodes about the many, many things that have gone wrong.

It might tell you a lot of what you know already, but if you read the first post you'll understand the perspective.

The ridiculous story of how I got the bike is now up.

Here's the link:

Ducati Boom Tubes

Are you aware of how loud the boomtubes are?!   [evil]

Too Loud
BTW..that's NAKID's S2R.

What could possibly go wrong with a Ducati ownership?  ;D

Things that could go wrong be corrected:
- remove the url and stuff so the link works
- replace the see through text background with a black. It'll make it easier to read.

Nice work on blog and bike [thumbsup]

I got to hand it to you,you have balls diving right in to tear it down... however doing a little homework and asking questions first instead of after the fact will save you lots of headaches.

Take advantage of the tutorial section and the vast wealth of knowledge that many of the members here have to offer.

Anyways, I enjoyed reading your blog and look forward to following your adventures.  [popcorn]
