Hi all!

Wanted to make my introduction to the forums as I just bought a 14 Panigale R last week! My first bike was (and still is) a 15 Ducati Streetfighter I got about a year ago and now I've gotten this sexy second bike after seeing a deal that I couldn't pass up!

Although I'm currently in Colorado Springs, CO, I'll be soon moving to Monterey, CA for graduate school. Hopefully I can get to meet some of you out there!

ha, funny....

glad the Navy did away with that, .... was dumb.

nice bikes, take them to the track while you are around Monterey. damn I miss the best coast.
 
Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm glad I'm not in 1st CAV with their vests, lol...

I'm excited to go, but being from Cali (LA area) and looking around for housing, two things I don't like:

1. Property Values - I'll probably use up all of my housing allowance and then some to stay somewhere decent with a garage.

2. Gun laws - No common sense, just laws to make the average law abiding citizen unable to practice a sport they love. Plus, I have to give all of my NFA items over to my girlfriend in NC or my buddy here in Boulder while I'm at school (and I have a lot of them *sad panda*).

Otherwise, great, consistent weather; lane splitting; and friends and family nearby!
 
Welcome and congratulations!
What's the green stuff on your bike in the garage?
 
WHO YOU TRYING TO FOOL? THEY'RE ALWAYS A DEAL WE CAN NEVER PASS UP! LMAO!

Ron if you pass through Phoenix let me know! Probably a little out of your way, but if you do swing through we can grab a cold one somewhere in the heat! LOL

Congrats. Nice bike.

I may be headed to Peterson after the 1st of the year.

Enjoy jumping at 5400 Ft. MSL

You look lighter than me so you should be fine with the SF-10

Congrats on the bike! Hit me up if you ever get up to the Denver area
 
Enjoy the bike! I'm also considering a move to CA just to split lanes in heavy traffic. Denver is starting to get lots of people moving here and traffic is getting bad quickly and sitting on a Panigale with motor running is not very fun!

Just make sure to hit those Colorado canyon roads before you leave here! Those will be missed I'm sure.
 
Haha, thanks guys!!

Gecko, it's painters tape. I have it on until I get my clear bra on next week. I'm a bit pissed though, since I got a couple of nicks already below where I stopped taping. I'm really tired of Colorado Springs roads and all the gravel they put on during the winter that they don't clean up. I really thought that I could still ride the beast until then, but it's looking like it'll stay in the garage for the time being :(

2WHEELFREAK, hit me up if you do come here. My girlfriend made a bunch of Google Maps that lays out the best roads... though I warn ya, they're almost, if not all day affairs!

JHT, yessir! I basically float in the air for a bit compared to everyone else. Though, it doesn't help that we jump at 2,000 ft AGL. I'll be going up to Denver a few times these next weekends, so I'll definitely see if you're available!

Ecobully, I know whatcha mean! But, I'm stubborn and I love to ride/drive. Unless I know I'll really be stuck in traffic for hours, I'm gonna ride the R as much as I can!
