Title: This just in from MA... Post by: StrikeJollyRoger on May 07, 2008, 08:37:15 PM Hey all. I figure I'll take this phoenix-like rebirth of the board to cease lurking. I started checking out the boards a couple months ago looking for pointers while buying my Ducati. Now all I have to do is pass the MSF before I have the confidence to hit the roads and not kill my bike. My goal is to avoid the tank ding...what do ya give me for odds? :P
The Man: Nick, a 25 year old Software Engineer/Web Developer The Bike: 1998 Monster 750 (with a bar end mirror!) bought, registered and insured with no one to ride it... The Home: MA, North Shore The Time: 0 minutes in saddle...and my scheduled road course part of the MSF doesn't complete until 5/23 :-\ None of my friends ride so if anyone lives close by and doesn't mind a noob tagging along, I'd love to be that noob. :D Title: Re: This just in from MA...

I live in Salem so it's not too far away from Essex - where do you live now? As a bonus 127 pretty much connects the two and I love doing that road in my car so I imagine it would be a blast on the Duc! Yea, thanks. Definitely let me know if you ever make it down this way. All of a sudden I want to take the bike outta the garage and start practicing...MSF wait times be cursed! Title: Re: This just in from MA...
