New to Ducati but not to bikes

Hi folks
Nice of you to have me along.
I’ve just bought a 2013 Monster 796. I’ve intentionally delayed collection until next weekend in the hope the weather warms up a bit by then, but also cos I’m at work this weekend & the thought of picking up the bike & not being able to play for another week would be painful.
I hope to learn from your Ducati wisdom, but after many years of bike ownership, maintenance and problem solving, I also hope to be able to give some back.
I’m on the border of Notts & Sth Yorks so hope to meet a few local fellow Ducati owners for a ride or meet up.
See you on the black stuff, stay safe
Andy
