Hi All,

My name is Ike. I just bought and picked up my 959 two days ago! Loving the bike so far, and loving it more every time i ride and learn more about it. It seriously has always been a dream of mine to own a bike that's this attractive and has this much performance. (I've always owned much older bikes...think carbureted old) So to now be the owner of my own 2016 Ducati is a dream come true!!! I hail from Milwaukee, WI. (so the hot seat is a bonus for me haha)

Congrats on the bike, what were you riding before?

Have you started to think about what modifications you want to get?

Congrats and welcome! Is Ducati Milwaukee still in business?

My first bike was a 1971 Honda CB350, then I bought a 1981 Yamaha XJ750, now the 2016 959 Panigale

First mods I am eyeing up are fender elminator, and T-Rex Frame and Axle slider kit. Maybe upgrade the headlights to more white too.

Thanks! Ive been trying to piece that together, where i bought is called Moto Union. I think this may have been known as Ducati Milwaukee at one point. I'm not sure on this though.

I think you may be right. I thought I had heard that DM was bought out, so that would make sense.

Welcome to the forums !! Glad to see you're enjoying the 959, probably a completely different experience compared to the other bikes you've owned. Think you'll ever own an old carburetor bike again ?

I've welcomed the heat from the beginning, even on >95 degF days, but will welcome it more when the cold comes!

A belated welcome to you!

So what have you started ordering for the new Duc?
