Nice bikes for sure. A guy at work has a 2008 Night Rod. When he said "that big rear tire really make it handle well" I couldn't let it go without saying No, it handles OK in spite of that 240 rear tire. When you get some time bring that Ducati up here to the Blue Ridge. Where you live the Rod's probably a better ride than the Ducati. Thanks for your service.

Lots of great members here with a ton of information. Enjoy your stay.
Title: Re: New Member Post by: somegirl on August 05, 2009, 07:17:30 PM Welcome NavyDoc, glad you've had a chance to check out the excellent NorCal roads. [thumbsup]
Good luck finding good rearsets. BTW we'd love to see a picture of your bike if you get a chance. :) Also don't forget to check out your local group, M-ROC (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=36.0).

Title: Re: New Member Post by: NAKID on August 06, 2009, 07:55:10 AM Doc as in Doctor or Corpsman? I'm an HM1 in Groton going through SubIDC school right now...
Title: Re: New Member Post by: ducrider45 on August 06, 2009, 09:37:45 AM Welcome and ride safe. I have a job on base. Next time I visit I will stop by and say hello.
Title: Re: New Member Post by: NavyDoc on August 06, 2009, 04:55:38 PM Thanks for the warm welcome from all !
I am an MD Navy Doc, it's nice to see some other Navy folks out there ! Congrats on IDC school. One of my boys is finishing up UMO school right now - J. Gordon. My bike is in CA right now, having a few things swapped out at Hattar Motorsports - by far the coolest and yet most professional motorcycle shop I've ever come across in my 13 years of riding - those guys are simply awesome to deal with - highly recommended. I am heading out to San Fran in 3 weeks for 9 days and am planning to ride hills and coastline everyday..... Have had a full Termi system, tail chop, ASV levers, and slipper clutch put on recently and now going to run it out over the hills.............. Nirvana. I will post some pictures when I get back from the trip. 8) Title: Re: New Member Post by: FastAndLight on August 06, 2009, 05:13:35 PM Hey Doc, good to have you onboard. I'm at Lejeune as well right now, well for another week at least, then I'm off to the sandbox.
Its good to see another Duc around here. We'll have to start some sort of coastal Ducati club soon. I've already started to wear the tops of my tires flat...we have a pretty serious lack of curves down here. We will have to ride sometime next year. Title: Re: New Member Post by: NAKID on August 06, 2009, 06:04:53 PM Awesome! Pretty sure I know who you're talking about. We see the UMOC's around the building, but they are on the 1st deck, we're on the ground floor.

If you want any company, please post up in the Ducati MOB (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=19.0) and see who amongst us can join you.

Glad you found us. Happy to have you join our family. Dolph :) Title: Re: New Member Post by: nikkimonster on August 09, 2009, 09:40:00 AM welcome.
Title: Re: New Member Post by: NAKID on August 11, 2009, 03:48:14 PM Hey Doc, talked to Mr. Gordon today. He's getting ready to take his Triumph down to Pensacola for 9wks of Dive School. He didn't know who I could be talking about until I mentioned the Monster. Then he knew exactly who I was talking about and explained the conditions on which you acquired the Monster...
Title: Re: New Member Post by: NavyDoc on August 13, 2009, 01:54:09 PM Nice. Gordon's a good dude. Don't envy him that trip on that triumph though, that things a pig... He'll graduate oneday I'm sure. I let him ride my V-Rod and he about crapped himself because of the power... He can't even imagine what the S4RS is like - scary fast.
Title: Re: New Member Post by: NAKID on August 13, 2009, 03:24:58 PM No, he bought a bike tow ( http://www.abiketow.com/ (http://www.abiketow.com/) ) and is driving his truck down there. He's a pretty cool guy, but you're right about the difference in power. That Trophy is only a 900...
