Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself...

[MACE_Hardware]

I go by MACE and I've been riding since 1969. 

First bike was a Z-50A Honda Mini-Trail.

I live in Washington state and am a retired Mechanical Engineer.

I've always ridden dirt bikes and in the 80s-90s I rode a lot of street miles.  At some point in my mid-thirties I realized that anytime I was having fun on pavement I was breaking the law and a responsible family man such as I should not be a serial offender.  All that fun stuff was no problem on the dirt so I pretty much gave up street (except for a bit of dual-sport).

Ever since I saw my first 900SS Superlight, I've wanted a Ducati.  I never gave in to the lust though.
Now that I'm retired and empty nested, money is not an issue...

I saw an ad for a very low mile S2R locally and figured "why not?". 
So here I am.

Welcome to the board. I've got a 2006 S2R 1000 myself.

Ideally, you have access to the bikes service history. If not, get the belts & tires changed for starters, and go from there. Tons service info over in the Tech section if you need it.

Enjoy!

edit: depending on mileage, get the valve guides checked.
