Welcome from the Harker Heights / Fort Hood area

Evening from the greater Austin Texas area everyone! First time Ducati owner, I ended picking up my Dark Stealth Monster 821 in late OCT and have already put 1600 miles on it. So far I have added the smoke windscreen and termignoni race exhaust with the baffles removed. I'm looking at picking up  the EVOTech tail tidy, radiator guards/shield, and shortie lever set.

This is my second bike, my first is my 2004 Honda Shadow 600 so it is a fairly large jump up for me. I've been riding since 2010 and I'm loving every minute of it!

Welcome aboard 

Is that a lowered seat on your M821?

Thanks ungeheuer! Yes, the seat is the -40mm. I'm pretty short at only 5 Foot 3 Inches.
