Hey there. Yep, I took delivery of the Foggy about 1 week before moving to Nashville.
I now live in Nashville. The roads here are AWESOME! Everything in Colorado seems to be North/South, or East/West. Or gravel in the mountains. I spent many years riding dirt bikes and dual sports, which is perfect for Colorado.
Here in Nashville, there are so many curvy, buff roads to explore. But I haven't hit any of the good stuff east of here. Maybe this weekend.
The Foggy I bought is amazing. It looks brand spanking new! It only has 4000 miles on it. It was babied to the max. He put a few goodies on it, like the Ducati performance steering damper, an aftermarket kick stand, the open clutch cover, and red plates. It is still running a little rich, but I'm OK with that for the time being. I do need to get it in and dyno'd sometime soon.
The bike is 85% the same as my old '01 S4. That's a good thing because I knew that bike like the back of my hand. So, the learning curve was zero. A few of the quirks my S4 had, the Foggy doesn't have. But it still has the twitchy throttle, that doesn't like to go slower than about 40 mph.
I had a smaller front tooth sprocket on my S4, but I don't really feel the need with this bike. I'm not sure if it's the aftermarket clutch. But it is a lot smoother than my S4. My S4 clutch was JERKY big time.
The bike is also a little taller than my S4, which is a good thing since I am 6'4". I am still a little tall for it, but hey, I don't care.
I can't BELIEVE the difference in power between here and in Denver. That 6000 feet makes a huge difference! I always felt my S4 was lacking power at altitude. But here, the extra power of the Foggy, and that Ducati torque and delivery, are superb.
Juliano (I think that's his handle) is a member of this forum from Nashville. We email every day or two, but haven't hooked up for a ride yet. He's on an '05 S4r that looks awesome, and I can't wait to see it. We might be able to do a ride this weekend.
Part of the reason I've been hesitant to branch out too far from home (other than the fact that I am in un-packing hell) is that it's very easy to get lost here. My old GPS just doesn't cut it, so I am waiting for one I bought off EBay just for the bike. I have all the mounting hardware, just waiting for the Nuvi to arrive tomorrow, or Monday.
Sorry, I don't have pictures yet. I am a photographer, and I just can't go snap a few photos and post them. I just can't do it! I need to get something worthy of a post from a photog.
I have a YouTube link to the bike that the original owner posted for me to druel over before I took delivery. But when I post it here, it doesn't work. Bummer.
Ah, the NOISY open dry clutch. LOVE IT!
I did take this picture:
