I am so jealous I'm hurting 
All i can say is WOW
So the day finally came where I can finally post my introduction. A little bit about myself, my name is Gurneet and I am from Ontario, Canada (we need more Canadian riders here). I been riding bikes my whole life from the age of 10, but I bought my first bike when I was 20 which was a 09 CBR600RRA back in 2011. I finally ended up being a ducati last year and received it this week. Before this, I only been on a 899 for about 20 minutes so I pretty much had no experience whatsoever.
I got to ride my 959 today in minus 2 weather, but what can I say, this bike is amazing! I am still getting used to the fact that twins don't like being in low RPMs, but it was so much fun. To make things better, people do not stop staring at the bike, everyone I passed turned their heads to look at the bike. I can't wait until the break-in period is done so I can finally crank the throttle wide open.
The bike is so smooth. My CBR didn't shift as smooth as this. I am so glad I ended up going with a twin. It sounds like a beast with the stock exhaust. It honestly makes you feel like you're james bond or something when you ride it ahaha. Honestly, Ducati was right when they said this thing has awesome handling, it's so nimble! I also rode a ninja 300 and I felt like this was so much easier to turn with!
Now for mods, I stole ideas from my fellow forum members. A list of mods so far consist of:
Future Mods:
I am not sure what I will do next, but I will probably leave it like this for a while.
Also, I am not mechanically inclined at all, so I would love to hear some tips about Ducatis and how you maintain them. I just know the basics, but I did change my bulbs on my own thanks to @bucfan444.
A special thanks to the following people who dealt with me annoying *** and answered whatever questions I had.
@levigarrett @I<3twins @rucks22 @DarR @avigil @baylajner959 @Ralliart959Panigale @bucfan444
...and anyone else I missed!!

Forgot to write something else...Wow and Congrats!
Here also. 9 inches of snow this morning in Ottawa....Unbelievable! Fortunately, it's raining now where it's washing it away. But still
Congratulations! Lookin' good! Now all you have to do is put on the passenger seat cowl, rip off the passenger foot pegs and the front reflectors!
congrats on your purchase at least you get a summer, not like us its a gamble and as i write this message its raining outside
Not annoying at all mate, glad you're loving the bike! And thank you for getting the sliders right away, i cringe every time I remember I put those on hold and then dropped my bike lol $300 in damages later, I learned my lesson
Cheers and enjoy the bike!
Cheers and enjoy the bike!
This stuff works great for cleaning your chain and removing chain lube, grease and oil from body panels and metal / aluminum bits. It's strictly a cleaner and not a polish.
