Greetings fellow Ducatistas, 
My name is Rafael, I live in sunny South Florida in the USA. I own a 2014 white Ducati Monster 696. My motorcycle addiction began when I was in college and started riding out of necessity for affordable transportation. I started with a Kawasaki Ninja 500 (Great little bike) then a Yamaha FZR 600 (what a lemon) Didn't rode for a few years and then I picked up cruisers to be promptly bored and lose interest. Decided to go for a sports bike and after lots of research I found a deal on a 2014 Monster 696 ABS, stock for 6k last summer. This is the most fun I have experienced in a motorcycle and I don't think I could go back to another brand. 
Cheers, 
Rafael
