Greetings fellow Ducatista's. I found a passion for road racing back in the 80's and started riding street bike's in the 90's. I have worked as a corner marshal at Willow Springs back when the Hayden boys were just little kids who annihilated everyone. Later for the WSBK races at Utah Motorsports Park (formerly Miller Motorsports Park) in Utah. My favorite all time racer was Wayne Rainey, who I was privileged to meet twice, and Nicky "The Kentucky Kid" Hayden.

I have always admired Italian bikes like Ducati, MV Agusta, and Moto Guzzi. I thought my riding days were over about 8 years ago when I sold my RC51, and never thought I would own a Ducati. Then my wife gave me her blessing. With my mind blown I switched from sport bikes, to The Monster when the "Right one" showed up. Now living in Utah I have all winter get to know the new red head in my life with fun maintenance tinkering in my garage.

So I have joined this forum to learn all I can about Monsters, and chew bubble gum. Well I am all out of bubble gum so my learning helmet is fully cinched. I look forward to all that this forum has to offer, and what I can offer.
