Well met, folks. Finally joined these forums to share info on using the OBDStar tool. Ex-colonial from Central Colorado here. Ducati experience started in ‘97 when I helped a friend ride a ‘94 E900 Elefant the roughly 750 miles back to his home in Indiana from its purchase point in Virginia. Enjoyed it so much I begged right of first refusal if he ever sold the bike. That led to my purchasing the bike from him in 2015 and riding it lots of Rocky Mountain miles until trading it for a 2013 Guzzi Stelvio in 2018. Came back to my senses and traded the second Stelvio for a low mileage 2016 MTSPPE in late 2023. I’ve managed to make the ride to the top of Pike’s Peak an annual event these past two autumns so I’ve included a picture from last fall’s ride. Unfortunately, living here at 9000 ft above the waves has its downside and the bike’s been parked up since shortly after that waiting for snow and slime to clear from the roads up here. Back on the road in April I hope. Best wishes all, Dave G.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I’ve enjoyed reading the odd thread here over the years and look forward to getting to know some folks a little better going forward. If you make it to the Denver, Colorado area give a shout! Dave G.
This time of year is absolute torture for motorcyclists here. Days are longer, sun is out, but it keeps on snowing and dropping below -10C at night. A few more weeks. Dave G.
TBH at this time of year when I lived in Breck & Vail, I was ski ing or boarding all day everyday in the sunshine.
Believe it or not, that license plate came to me naturally from the state. When I received it I told my wife, "Now I have to by another bike - a 1933 Benelli!" She didn't see the humor. Personally, I think I'm fated to it. Someday.....
