Hi, My name is Himanshu just picked up my 1199 ABS and I am loving every moment of it

. This is my first big bike. I used to ride a 250 cc bike.

Still riding in wet mode though but had to change ABS to 2 for road use. Will soon switch to Sports mode. Bike has now 150 miles on it.

Have uploaded some phone pics

Congrats! That's a big jump from 250 to 1199... Have fun!

@flobrandx. To be honest I was a little bit nervous as I had never ridden a bike bigger than 250 and am only 5.5''. First time I pressed that start button my heart started pounding

and as soon as I let go the clutch it stalled. Then I started it again and stopped after 112 miles

.
I feel good connection with the bike now and enjoying every moment of it.

Nice dude. Let me know if you head out around Fayettenam, I'll try to link up with you.

flobrandx · Jun 24, 2012

Yeah that's alright HD... This is my first Duc and I was nervous myself going from my 08 CBR1000RR to the Pani. For me it was the thought of dumping and crashing 30k into the pavement. I just took it easy until I felt a little more comfortable and familiar on the Duc.

@jjmontesanto: Thanks man it is not that far. Will let you know if I head down there.
