I took almost a month from the day I ordered my Monster 796 ABS Black for it to be ready for pick up, but it was worth the wait  waytogo

I picked her up yesterday (Friday) after work, so I wan't well geared up (regular leather jacket and leather gloves, jeans and regular shoes), but it's only a few kilometers ride home, and honestly I couldn't wait  [moto]

As the rule states "pics on it didn't happen", I've decided to post the only two pictures I have so far, which were both taken by the dealer as I was picking her up and leaving from the shop, so here goes:

Epic grin on my face on both pictures  Grin  But I'm sure you all understand how the facial muscles can't help themselves  Grin

BTW, according to the dealer, my bike is the very first black M796 owned in Japan (which hugely adds to the grin).  Apparently, Ducati Japan imported only red and white M796 in the first batch a few weeks ago, and I was the first customer to pre-order a black one from the second batch.




At the dealer's after a 30 minute orientation for first time riders.





As I was leaving the dealer's.

Congrats on the bike.
The black/red combo is my favorite waytogo
