Title: Back in the saddle again -
Post by: metlmrk on March 08, 2010, 02:07:26 PM
Hey everyone,
My name is Mark. I live in VA about 20 mi. south of Washington DC. I have been riding since about 1974.  My first street bike was a 500 Suzuki two cycle around 1974?.  I also had a few other Japanese bikes; 650 Yamaha, KZ900 Kawasaki all in the 70's I think.  It was about the mid 70's when I saw my first Ducati and instantly loved it.  I rode a 69FLH Harley from 1983 to 2000 but a family, kids, mortgage, life, and a completely worn out motor put her gently to rest in the shed 10 years ago.  Anyhow I now feel the irresistible urge to start riding again and it was easy for me to choose the motorcycle I wanted. .  I am now the proud owner of a 2000 Ducati Monster m900ie!

Best regards to all!
