Okay, I just figured out the other forum is dead, sorry. I just moved back to DFW. Looking for best Ducati service. I have heard AMS. Also,... where to you guys ride around here. The traffic is horrible. Worse than southern Cal. It would def be nice to be able to split lanes.

Forums are always dying, let it not you dismay. Welcome to the DFWM forum. Keep looking. Wherever we feel like... Gosh! Agreed, but I haven't lived in SoCal in 56 years. It would be nice, but foolhardy, because Dallasites will kill for lane advantage.
Did you have a question?
Again, welcome to DFWM forum.

what do you ride? where are you located? if on the southside of the metroplex.....rust restoration. stuart is hard to beat when working on ducs. pricing, knowledge, willingness to work around your schedule and he is a great guy to chat with. he is so crazy he will teach classes on how to do certain work on your bike (valves, belts, etc.).

At the present time, the group is experiencing a bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Please bear with us.
When the weather gets warmer, there will be rides; oh yes, there will be rides.

there's quite a few your way, we live about 40 miles away and you can reach some good roads West of you pretty quickly.  East of McKinney are pretty much all good roads and South of Alvarado also.  Welcome to the area.

You have AMS-Dallas, AMS-Alvarado (hint, they are related), Eurosport Cycle in Ft. Worth, Stuart Rust in Mansfield, Brad Miller in Plano area, and European Cycle Sports in Plano (BMW Motorcycles of North Dallas).


Those are the options I know of.

Welcome and Bienvenidos,

It's great to see new blood in the group. If you are familiar with interwebs forums you'll know there are many ways to express ones personality in text. I hope you understand our brand of boardspeak and find our expressions appealing enough to stay around past 24 posts  [laugh].

As far as rides, from where you are there is a bevy of twisties to the southwest of Fort Worth towards Glen Rose. The North Texas Hill Country ride is usually a fun romp. North of there is Hwy 4 up towards Possum Kingdom lake. Here's a link to my Google maps:

Stuart is great for service as well as Eurosport. You'll find that Martha and Tony at Eurosport are very nice to deal with and have all the Ducati parts readily available as any other dealer.
Welcome
