Hi all, I'm new to Ducati, new to road biking too ish as I only passed my test in July. Now bought a 08 696 and so far loving it but I'm sure I'll have some questions soon and hope do do a few little mods soon

Hello and welcome, there’s quite an active bunch of Monsteristi in Norfolk so keep an eye out for forum posts about Sunday breakfast rides etc.

Hello there fella.
Welcome to UKMOC.
As Slob says we get together in Norfolk every now and then. we try and meet for breakfast somewhere interesting every second Sunday of the Month and there are all sorts of runs out, during the finer months.
I was speaking to Grumpy just now about a ride out on the BH Monday if the weather behaves itself, so keep an ear to the ground.

That's great

gotta love breakfasts haha. I'm in diss so only just in Norfolk but do tend to ride out to dereham a bit as there's a nice bit of road between thetford an dereham via Watton. Not yet done this on the monster but looking forward to it when the sun shines again.

Mr Gazza · 27-03-2018, 08:59 PM

Ah yes. Watton to Shipdham is the best bit!..

Welcome along.

A few of us midlanders often tag on to the norfolk happenings during the warmer months, so hopefully our paths will cross.

Grumpy · 27-03-2018, 09:28 PM

Welcome aboard!
If the weather behaves, hopefully going for a run on monday.
Keep an eye on the forum for updates

Hi Kingfisher88. Hope your 696 is as good to you as mine is to me!
So far I’ve added: Evotech tail tidy and SP Engineering cans. Coming soon: 14T front sprocket, modified airbox and Rexxer ECU flash from Cornerspeed. I’ve kept the baffles in the cans but Neil at Cornerspeed has advised me that after the reflash it will go even better again with the baffles out (might be getting too old for that though)!

If the weather's nice Monday hopefully I'll be out for my first proper run on the bike, only done a few short trips so far. I loving the 696 so far having come from a Suzuki 650 vstrom it's so light and nimble compared.
