Newbie...I got it for free!

[kpdiamond]

Hi all,

I was recently given, yes as in for free, a 2002 M620 with only 7700 miles on it.(actually I guess it did cost me a case of beer!) Owner had not ridden it in years and is having twins soon so his wife said get it out of the driveway, so he asked me to put it in mine! I have spent very little money and suprisingly little time doing the basics, new battery, belts, fluids, filters, plugs, and a little cosmetics and she fires right up and is seemingly running very well! This is my first Ducati and I am enjoying the Italian experience. I have found this site very useful in gathering info and providing inspiration for future mods. I am going to have the bike titled and on the road in the next week. I still have a need for a few parts and some more know how so I'll be checking in frequently and appreciate the help! Too good to be true? Let me know?

Lucky you! Nice. FWIW the suspension, Forks and Shock could probably do for a going over as well.

Balmer eh hon?
Lots of folks in your general area and down into the DC Metro. On here that local section is:

And a bit more balto specific - though they let me post crap and make snarky comments there's a Faceyspace group.
