Hi - well, after 2 years of reading & planning today I ordered my 2012 MS Touring in red!! I currently have a 2008 DL1000 VStrom, but wanted to get more on the sport side but still have the ability for the odd ride into a campsite or down a dirt/gravel road. I have learned over the last couple of seasons that heavy duty off-road and gravel are not somethng I enjoy, but I do like to explore off the beaten track places.
About me: I have been riding for 4 years (started when I turned 40!) and love it. My main interests are touring and visiting new places I have never been. especially love small old towns, ghost towns and twisties. I am somewhat of a giant at 6'-7" tall and about 290. I'm losing weight so as not to overload the Multi and hope to end up back around 250-260.
I live in Calgary, Alberta so any local Ducatistas feel free to contact me. I have been very active in the VStrom community (vsri.info - username SnowStrom) and hope to do the same with Ducati.ms
Thanks for letting me join!
