I just wanted to say hi. I bought a new white Panigale from Bert's Mega Mall yesterday and I pick the bike up on Saturday. I am excited I must say. I sold my last bike back in 09 when I moved to Las Vegas back in 09. I've had 2 R1's. When I bought my last R new in 05 the dealership I bought it from was also a Ducati dealer, I made a promise to myself if I ever by another bike it would have to be a Duc. My R had all the graves motorsports bolt ons and it made 158whp. A few months ago I was back home and an old buddy of mine bought a S1000RR. I rode it and said I have to get another bike. So here we are 3 months later!
About me, I am a 15 VW master tech and I drive Mitsubishi's. I have an Evo IX I bought new in 06. Its now a 750whp 9 sec street car. Back in August I bought another Evo. Its a 2012, its got all the bolt ons and made 340whp on a stock turbo with all the bolt ons. Here's a video I did a few moths ago of the cars... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFfxDPV07-Y
 
Congrats on the new Duc and welcome to the forum! This is my first Duc also and I don't regret it one bit. Enjoy!!!
 
Thanks man good to hear! All I am worried about is IF I have problems with the bike, I have to go to LA for repairs or service:(

As big as Las Vegas is they don't have a Duc dealer? Bummer. You will likely need your dealer for a few things. For starters, ask them if TSB 881 applies to your bike, and if so, make sure you have it done before you pick it up, or else the heat-induced intermittent failure of your left-side controls for turn signals and dash will drive you crazy. Make sure that all outstanding TSBs and recalls have been applied to your bike. Hopefully your 2013 doesn't need much if anything to rectify all the issues that the 2012's had.

Not to worry too much though, I had everything done to my 2012 in the first 45 days of ownership and am absolutely loving the bike more than any other in recent memory.

Oh yeah - congrats and welcome!

Welcome to the forums. I too have an Evo X (2010 MR-Touring). I bet that Evo IX is a monster and a half if it's a 9 second car. ....!! Are you on any of the Evo forums as well? I'm on EvoXForums. Great one to be on. Very informative for cars. Anyway, back on topic. Congrats on the white Pani. Best color OBVIOUSLY!
 
Welcome!!!!!! I bet you wont sleep till you pick it up, the wait is totally worth it, awesome bikes, and obviously you love the HP!!!!!!!

Thanks Jeff, this is what I didn't want to hear lol. I am going down to LA with another guy I met here in Vegas last Saturday when I was at the BMW dealer looking at the RR. He has the turn signal problem now and is trailering his bike down Saturday to get it fixed and we are bring the 2 back.
I am gonna call today and see if the tsb's can be done. Thanks for the heads up!

Berts Mega Mall:confused: Double check the PDI job when you get it home.
 
I triple checked it before I left. I didn't sign the pdi check sheet til i checked over the bike.
 
Welcome Jeff! I've rented Harley's out there twice and rode over to Lake Mead and Red Rock (is that right?). Great riding! So jealous.
