Title: I am a banana! Hello From Winchester VA Post by: gnarshread on November 05, 2015, 07:37:14 PM Hello Ladies ans Gentlemen! A few weeks go my trusty Kawasaki Versys was involved in an accident and was a total right off. Tomorrow morning I will receive a check from an insurance company and this Saturday night I will ride away with a friends 1100 EVO.
I have a CL350 dissasembled in boxes (project), a CR125, and partial owner of a Duke 390 (its my girlfriends ride). I have had experiences with older Ducatis, mainly my fathers Cagiva Elefant 650, and some old desmos but this will be my first Ducati. I have been riding since I was 12 and have always been about the odd bikes. That's why I ended up with a Gen 1 Versys and spending entirely to many resources on suspension so it would piss people off in the corners. The Monster is going to be a new chapter of riding for me and I cant wait to see what she can do and I cant wait to be "that guy" asking dumb questions. Anyways, this is me! Anyone here from the Winchester/Middleburg area? Title: Re: I am a banana! Hello From Winchester VA Post by: 1.21GW on November 05, 2015, 07:59:43 PM Welcome aboard. Plenty of orange crush love here, too, in case you're looking to itali-austrain love:

Title: Re: I am a banana!

If you ride locally in traffic a lot, you might want to consider a 14T front sprocket. Title: Re: I am a banana!

Thanks man! I love stealing my old lady's 390. Its a hoot! Title: Re: I am a banana!

Oh I know those guys pretty well. I usually go to John Ross, the guy who opened Ride on Moto in town. He used to own Shenandoah Honda and I have been buying bikes off of him since I was 12. However, I think I'll be spending more time at Duc Pond from here on out. Title: Re: I am a banana! Hello From Winchester VA Post by: greycode on November 12, 2015, 09:11:26 AM Welcome to the club! Just bought an 1100 EVO, as well, and I LOVE it.
Now if I can just scrounge up enough cash for all the extra bits I want... Title: Re: I am a banana!

There are some great roads out to the west of you.
