Hi everyone,
I have been lurking around this forum for a while, but never took the trouble to register and introduce myself. Thought it was time now...so here we go!
I live in Vancouver BC and have been riding motorcycles for a long time. I have always been and still am a passionate adventure motorcyclist. I never imagined myself riding a supersport even for fun. But from the day the Panigale 959 was officially launched, I developed this weird itch to own and ride one. I thought it would pass and deliberately avoided visiting Ducati dealerships to resist any temptation.
On a sunny Saturday morning in June 2016 I accompanied a friend to test ride a new BMW which he intended to buy. What I had forgotten was that the same dealership sold Ducati brand as well. Big mistake! I can't recall much of what happened that day, but I remember taking delivery of a brand new 959 two days later and I haven't stopped drooling ever since. Sorry, I am weak!
I have done about 4000kms so far and have added a some basic accessories like radiator guards, rear LED turn signals, tank protector, short folding levers, paint protection, bright white headlamps etc. I am eagerly waiting for the weather to improve to start riding again.
Hope to learn a lot from the forum and thanks in advance for all the support and advice from you guys!
