New Ducatista - Scotland!

Hi Guys and Gals!

Just wanted to pop in and say a big hello to you all! Looks like an active community on here which is great!

Moved onto my first Ducati on Saturday, picked up this little 695 with only 3600 miles on her, 1 owner and she looks like she's sat in a garage for her whole life! You'd be forgiven for thinking its brand new (bar the retro headlight that I love)

Had a long ride from Newcastle to Edinburgh on Saturday, in torrential rain, to get her home.

Had never ridden a motorcycle until August last year, and had a beautiful Hornet since then until I gave my best mate a shot - and he binned it at speed into a corner in some Scottish twisty back roads. He learned a lesson with a few broken bones and a punctured lung, and there came the need for me to upgrade!

Love it so far, mirrors can be a bit shakey though is that normal or does swapping for aftermarket ones rectify it? Also ordered some short levers because the factory ones are not to my taste one bit.

Anyway, thanks for reading; here she is:
