Got the call...

That my Tricolore is in ! I'm coming from a R1 background and oh man! Last week I test rode a dealers Panigale, at the time I was just thinking not to crash because it wasn't mine. This time totally different, It's mine and took a few minutes to get use then It was all fun from there. Here are a few pics. Glad to be part of the club

I walk into the dealership and find this...

So right after purchasing, I decided to get some ice cream and while choosing my ice cream I catch a few people doing this...



I've been on the bike all day, sorry I couldn't post earlier

Must have chosen the right bike then if people are taking pics of it the first day.

Congratulations on your ride!

Congrats mate!!

Welcome to the CLUB!

It's a good feeling isn't it man? I congratulate you my friend!

Yesterday I went to a dealership event, and despite the place being so full of other Ducati's I still found groups of folks surrounding my Tri pointing fingers, etc. It brings a smile to your face and I'm proud of ya man! Rock on!!

Thanks! When my gf was taking me I started to get butterflies and that feeling when you were a kid getting a new toy. Can't wait to see your post when it comes in!

Thank you! I can tell when riding and I see people pointing and staring at the bike or maybe the handsome gentleman that rides it...jk. I also pulled next to between a M3 and 4 door Aston Martin and the thought in my head is I hope neither one of these cars try to race me cause I want to enjoy my ride home. Don't get it twisted I was going to back down from these cagers, because I would of unleash the beast. So my first thought on this bike for my first day ride is...WOW compared to my 2006 R1 LE is that this bike is in a different feel and class...My R1 was fast and I can handle it, but this machine is too much for the street and just wants to be unleashed on the track. Best way to put it is, its like a a Pitbull or a Rottweiler going for a walk around other dogs, you're holding the dog back on a shirt leash so it doesn't destroy any of these other dogs and when you do it goes CRAZY!! lol

So today I'm taking the bike in and it will stay at the shop to get a Clear Bra put on. What's the going rate on this for a full wrap?

I can tell you are in love

Nice !
But why didn't you get the Termignoni mufflers installed ?

I will get it on at the first service, plus i was going to purchase the manifold, but dealer told me to hold off cause there was report that customers were running dynos and found out that the slip on's were producing more power than having both slips and manifold on. That's what I was told.

The hp diff won't be anything you can notice or capitalize off of unless you're taking it 10/10ths on the track

Hahaha love the last pic!! Congrats! Agurri

That's awesome! Congrats.

I love the last pic. Ducati envy.

Thank you! I understand your enviousness I would lurk the panigale forums before and did baby steps to get it. First it was inquire, then it was put my deposit down, even after putting the deposit down I was still not sure then finally a demo ride and that was it after that there was no turning back I wanted it with NO doubt.

Thank you sir! I do too. That was literally leaving the dealer and going straight to Cold Stone and me getting off and then like paparazzi shooting away.
