Hello All, Bought My Second Ducati Today…

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by JayKay 959, Sep 8, 2023.

  1. Hi, so after a longish gap from a fantastic yellow 916 that I sold about a decade ago, I collected a 959 Panigale today.

    It feels great to be back!

    Have ridden S1000rr’s and other litre stuff for a while, and whilst they’re great, they dont have that Ducati thing. Didn’t realise how much i’d missed it :eek:

    I’ve not even looked at how to post pictures yet, but will get some sorted as soon as i’m able. Will include the very much missed 916.

    The 959 is a one-owner, fdsh bike with a bit over 4k miles.

    My wrists already ache, just like they did on the 916!

    Am very happy, and today has been a very good day :cool:

    Justin

  3. Good choice of bike

    FYI they make great track day bikes too ;)
     
  4. Greetings!
     
  5. Good choice! Infinitely more rideable than a 916 but still with loads of soul.

    In April I moved from my 2015 R1 which is the best bike I’ll ever own, back to a 899 and love it to bits.

  12. Ah, posting photos…is there a “how to” sticky anywhere? I have looked, but it may have been a “man-look”, and couldn’t see anything. I have tried getting a photo link and pasting it, but just get the ? in a box thing.

    Bins on standby :upyeah:

  15. I know exactly how you feel. I bought my Ducati 998 new in 2002, had 13 years with her then sold to a friend as I needed the money. I was blessed to be able to buy her back about a month ago, here she is and still rides like new! IMG_1419.jpeg
