Hey guys. Currently getting very short at the end of my deployment here to The Suck. The wife and I just picked up an '04 620 Dark. Well she picked it up, but we went and looked the last day I was on my mid-tour leave. I have an '02 Honda Superhawk with 30k-someodd miles, and she rides a Yamaha V-star, but wanted to start getting into sportbikes. The 620 fits the bill pretty nicely, as the seating position works for her, and it's got enough motor to keep me from getting bored whenever I steal it. Hers when she wants to ride a sportbike, mine when she doesn't, or when it's acting up. But we all know how that goes. I've been riding for almost 8 years now, she's been riding for just under 4.
And of course because this thread would be worthless without pictures...

Welcome
Nice pinstripes on that Duc.
Oh, and welcome to the illness. [beer]
Get back safe.
Welcome and congrats on the new bike! [thumbsup] Thanks for sharing the pictures.
It's great to have a riding family, isn't it? ;D [moto]
Your wife is welcome here too if she's interested, we have a Women's Forum (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0) she might want to check out. :)
Welcome to the DMF. You realize that you have only just begun? Soon you will both be wanting to ride the duc.
Thank you for your service to our country and get home safe!
Welcome, and come home safe and sound.
I imagine the search for a 2nd Duc will start soon ;D
Not exactly a seer by any means, but I could definitely envision an 848 or another monster ending up in the garage in the near future...
