Hello to all Ducatista from San Diego

Hello to all Ducatista!

My name is Aleksei, and I live in San Diego, though I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. I recently became the proud owner of a 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 and am excited to join this community!

Before this, I owned a 2023 BMW R Nine T and two 2024 Kawasaki ZX10Rs, which I used for track days. I’m passionate about California’s scenic twisty roads and race tracks. One of my dreams is to ride on the iconic Sachsenring and Brno circuits.

I’m a big MotoGP enthusiast, fascinated by the technical innovations and strategies behind the sport. I deeply admire the Ducati Team for their achievements and professionalism and find Marc Márquez’s determination truly inspiring. I also hold great respect for Valentino Rossi, who has shaped the world of motorsport in extraordinary ways.

As I begin my Ducati journey, I’m preparing for my first service and would love to hear tips and advice on maintenance and tuning for this amazing machine.

I look forward to connecting with fellow Ducatista, sharing experiences, and learning more about your bikes!

Man, EPIC first post. Welcome buddy.

I served in the Navy out in San D! was on an attack sub on the point loma base!

Freaking time of my life out there! Southern Cali is next level awesome, I wish my industry had more of a presence out there, I’d move back in a heartbeat!



Great first ducati too, I’m supper Jelly! I buy them 3-5yrs later, second hand myself.

Hold on that tune, give the tuners sometime to figure out what’s what…I’d avoid BT but that’s just me…



Change your oil often! Do your first change in the first couple hundred. Are you mech inclined? If so you can save a fortune and learn a lot in the process.
