New So. Cal Pani owner. Well, sort of...

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm new to the forums but I've been a long time lurker. I've found lots of great information here and quite honestly, never felt I would be able to add to the wealth of information but I'll do my best to help in any way possible.

I was the 1st at my local dealer to order my 2012 1199S ABS model in Oct. 2011 - actually the first to place a down payment, sight unseen (literally, Ducati only had photos of the motor available when I ordered it). I went to the Long Beach Motorcycle Show in December of 2011 and for the first time in my life, actually got chills when I saw the Pani for the first time. Been in love with it ever since!

I'm looking forward to talking with all of you and hope to see you around the So,. Cal. roads.

BTW, thanks to Guido at Carbon Performance Parts for Ducati 1098 999 916 BWM K1200 R1200MV Agusta Suzuki Yamaha Gilles Rear Sets After lurking through some of the posts here, I saw that he offers a 10% discount to members. I now have a CW integrated brake / turn signal tail light on order for a great price. Can't wait to get it installed. Any installation tips before it arrives???

Welcome! You need to use the search a bit more to find stuff, this is actually a current thread this week:
