Monster noob in Houston
Hey everyone,
Became the official owner of an '01 M600 metallic yesterday, so figured it was time to introduce myself instead of just lurking around!
I'm Sylvia in Houston, TX, and had previously been riding an '06 Kawi Ninja 500 for a little over a year- mostly daily commuting. Well, I guess I'm still riding the Ninja since it hasn't sold yet and I'm waiting for frame sliders to come in for the monster- the metallic red is immaculate and gorgeous and I hope to keep it that way!
Long story short, I planned on upgrading to a Suzuki SV650S (the boy has an SV1000S and I knew I wanted a v-twin), but by chance found this bike for sale and fell in lust immediately. After reading up more on Ducatis, sitting on some at the dealership, and seeing more used SV's, I realized that the SV just wasn't an option anymore. I'm in medical school and have upcoming exams (hence the current procrastination), but Hugh picked it up for me in Austin yesterday and brought it home. It was even prettier than the pictures I had seen, but I really bonded after turning it on and hearing that rumble. The weather is incredible outside right now and it's so hard to keep studying with that bike in the garage.
Anyway, this looks like a great forum! I see that there are even some Houston gals around :-)

Metallic- Kinda like a bass boat, without the sleaze.
