Ballin'! I would've taken a 1098S in black though.
Such a sick bike, props dude!

Default Congrats fellow Ducatissta!!!

Awesome!

My neighbor had a yellow one for three months, but just sold it a couple of days ago. He had lots of fun with it, but ultimately "was not the bike for him."

I hope you enjoy yours more than his!

You're from Orange County, right? Check out The Orange County Ducati Club website. We have meets in Newport every first and third Wednesday of the month. Perhaps I'll meet you there?

That is an awsome looking bike! Nice mods too! One question. Any issue with the bike so far?

Thank
