Hello from the UK
Hi all, I'm new to the Ducati family my last bike being a Z1000.
I wanted something comfortable with some weather protection, (I've had sport bikes) I can't ride those anymore without a lot of discomfort, getting a little older and less flexible.
I've always liked the styling of Ducati so when the SS came out I thought it was worth a test ride. Long story short I'm now the proud owner of a red SS. Just had the first service, can't wait to finish the running in process to let it really stretch its legs. The way the bike handles, far more capable than I will ever be.

Sounds like about Gatwick airport then. :grin2:I live in the South East, in between London and Brighton.
Great location for hopping across the channel to the European playground while you still can.
Thanks Colin, I don't really know the southern areas, and after forty-odd years I wouldn't even recognise my hometown now no doubt. Welcome Colin, I look forward to your input :smile2:I live in the South East, in between London and Brighton.
Crawley , Haywards Heath, Burges Hill, I bet you have run up and down ditching beacon a few times :grin2: welcomeI live in the South East, in between London and Brighton.
There are some great roads along the South Downs, you just have to be careful of the speed cameras and the unmarked Police (cars and bikes). The police are normally out in force (no pun intended) on the weekends.Crawley , Haywards Heath, Burges Hill, I bet you have run up and down ditching beacon a few times :grin2: welcome
If I'm off during the week it's nice to explore the roads around the downs, I forget all of life's worries for a while. To me that's what riding a bike is all about, my own little world with the feeling only a bike can give.
Welcome, at last another UK member
