Thanks all for the welcome.... Well, I have bitten the bullet and I pick up my VERY FIRST Ducati in exactly 15 Days 10 hours and 32 mins from Seastar.... (does it really show that i cant wait!!).... I'm really looking forward to getting to know The Multistrada and I'm hoping it will be a refreshing change from the Crosstourer. I'll post some pics here when I pick her up and I'm sure there will be questions.....lots of questions... thanks again all...
