Howdy from Texas (new 696 owner)

« on: October 28, 2008, 11:08:47 AM »

Nice board. Just stopping in here to say howdy. I bought my first bike and Ducati at that last Thursday. Haven't stopped grinning yet. Grin

As a beginner I find the bike super easy to ride. I LOVE IT!!

Last Thursday after signing for it.

Yesterday after riding a bit before putting her up for the day..

Congrats! Which city are you in? I'd reccomend looking into the Texas Sport Bike Association - good bunch of guys, lots of great riders- you could learn a ton from them about riding and also find lots of great roads.
Good luck and ride safe!

A big Texas welcome to the board! waytogo

I'm a fellow Texas member, but up in Dallas. There are a good amount of Houston folks that lurk around the local THCM board.

Be sure to check out the TCHM group as they not only to get togethers all their own, they even occasionally come up and slum with us Austinites...

Congrats on the bike! Welcome to the obsession.
