  1. Hi, I am a senior (60) new Ducati owner 2002 749S. Thought i would get a nice comfortable one.
    Off to Rockingham to see what its really like. I do quite a few trackways and a bit of road riding, but have other bikes mostly for the road. Never had a Ducati before, had TRX850's for years and thought
    i should try one before i get too old.

  2. Welcome Silver'56.
    999/749 are very comfortable for a sports bike. I put slightly higher bars on mine.

  7. Can anyone help me get a union flag on the avatar, mine has stars and stripes and I cant work out why??
     
  8. All new members start as USA. Good behaviour and useful posts will see you upgraded to the Flag of the Union. Bad behaviour and arguing with the admin will see you getting the French Tricolore.

  10. The flag shown is dependent on where the server of your ISP provider is. Yours is obviously in the US. Soz.
