A Monster Hello From Calne, Wilts

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Jimbobbalooba, Jun 22, 2015.

  1. Thought I should sign up after acquiring my first Ducati. I'm actually still awaiting delivery so v. excited!! Should be here on Wednesday.

    Had various makes over the years but this is my first D. and quite different to my last bikes (Hayabusa, RSV Mille, R1, Daytona 955i). Looking forward to getting to grips with her this summer.

    Are there any tips on what I should do when I get it (other than ride it), like particular checks or immediate upgrades etc.

    Thanks, look forward to meeting some of over the coming years.

  2. Hello and welcome to the mad house :)
    Tips make sure it's red it's the fastest
    Watch out for the locals especially @Exige he will try and sell you anything
    Start working your facial muscles for the smiles you will encounter
    Can't think of anything else at the mo


    Ooooo it's nearly Wednesday
     
  3. Thanks for the tips :) I'm actually not sleeping well I'm so excited. Been two years since I've ridden!
