Hi Everyone,

Just bought myself a yellow 04 749s mono 3 days ago and i'm really unhappy!!

Why??

It's been ****ing rain non stop for the whole 3 days i've had it and i think i'm gonna explode if i cant get out on her for a blast!!

This is my first Ducati so no doubt i will have lots of questions for you guys in the next few weeks/months!!

For now though its back to the garage for another look at my new pride and joy!!

Keep 'er lit!!

Hi there and welcome.

I'm a newbie here too and i don't even have a Duc yet (beancounter or whatever his name is, love that :frog: ) .

Ok i can understand you're ****ed with the rain, BUT you can still ride in the rain if you want. It's not like the bike will shrink or someting ;)

BTW what bike(s) did you previously own?

BTW welcome. This place is a endless source of info on all things ducati.

One word 'awsome'

:D

Sooo much power, and contrary to popular belief i found it to be very easy to use- not the wild monster the press would lead you to believe it is!!

However, having said that, for experienced hands only!
