  1. Hi everyone,

    Having lurked around the place since purchasing my first ducati I thought it was about time I joined in and said hello!

    I'm riding a white 2013 Panigale S which I bought last October. I had a 2012 Honda Fireblade up until that point but wanted something a little more 'fun'.... Not that the blade wasn't enjoyable at all, but it was just too easy to ride - doing everything well, but lacked the buzz of the 1199. 5,000 miles in on the Panigale and it still never fails to make me grin from ear to ear whether riding it or just staring at it in the garage!

    A couple of mods so far: 3M Ventureshield kit,Ducati comfort seat, Rizoma foot pegs to replace the slippery stock items, Termignoni cans and a full custom map by CJS Racing in Bristol which has transformed its manners in town, the on/off throttle transition and added a good boost of power across the rev range.

    I'm off to France for a week later this month on the Panigale and cannot wait :)

  20. Box nearly always has some of the crowd from here there most weekends and it's a second home/office for a lot of us.

    Any weekend it is often the start point for meeting or a ride out. Follow the thread in "events and ride outs" in the out and about section. This weekend there will be a group meeting up for sure.
