I need to remind myself to stop and take pictures.  I rode from Mt Vernon to 715 to Warsaw.  We ate lunch and then did some random roads.  On the way home we did 60 to 541 and then some random roads to get back to Sunbury.  Next year I should at least have a cheapo action cam rolling.   On our last ride there was a dog in the middle of the street.  One of the guys hit his horn.  Scared the dog so bad that he literally took a shit in the middle of the road.

This is BudDaytonDuc from Dayton. The bike looks better in these photos then the ones on the Home Page. You might want to check out this web site. BritRider.com

I have a 2001 Triumph Bonneville in edition to my 2013 Monster EVO. We do monthly rides weather permitting. All riders are welcome. I need another Ducati Rider since my friend Andy who has had serval Ducati motorbikes was transferred to Nashville. I'm BudDaytonRat on BritRider.

I washed my bike [emoji20] 

Well I may see you guys down that way. Decided to hit Hocking Hills today after all. I'll be on the red 959 Panigale.

I am going for a ride tomorrow, the 18th. I am thinking about heading to Hocking Hills. Anybody?

Wished I was a bit closer I'd be all over it. I'm off tomorrow but it would be a 2hr drive for me to get there and 2hrs back and I have to be back here near Hillsboro by 300pm. Would have liked to have joined in.

Whats up Spanishcop and Ohiobob! I also found the forum and joined too obviously haha! Only riding ive been doing as of late is commuting back and forth from work [emoji20] but at least I get a little seat time in! Oh and fyi Ohiobob I was the one with the green CBR you ran into with the Ducati [emoji3]

Welcome to the Darkside!

please  check out CODEsmo.org and Central Ohio Desmo Enthusiasts on Facebook for like minded ducati owners here in Ohio as well!

I have a link in my signature

 tons of information on the Panigale series and Track days to help you out..
 

I feel like im in the honeymoon stage with my bike.... Still getting to know each other. After all I've only had her a couple weeks. I'm sure as I get to know her better I will feel more eager to learn the track part and push a little further u suppose.

Thanks for the info.... Is it open to the public to watch? Just to get a feel for things and what gear people are using and such. Is there a fee to watch? Sure sounds interesting. I checked the website out and some of the reviews. Definitely interesting, maybe something I'll do sometime. A bit pricey but sounds like a lot of fun and worth doing here and there on a occasions.

Just out of curiosity.... Is there like classes for beginners for the track days? Any in Ohio? I'm sure it would become an addiction and expensive at that... Which tends to keep me on street/road riding lol. Never really gave it any consideration.

nice bike. I got to demo ride this 959 Panigale and several other Ducs @ Grattan Raceway on 9/26 last month.

Ducati Detroit (birmingham, Mi.) set up a special Trackday with the staff/coaches from STT.

Awesome bike, handles like a dream, power like a banshee, wheelie control coming out of corners! (turn off TC, etc) [emoji3]

Welcome to the forum.  Glad to see you found it.  Yes, I look forward to doing some riding with you too.  Can't wait to see that Duc in action.

Next couple of days are supposed to amazing...especially for November.  I will be riding the Blue Beast (CBR1000RR) after work tomorrow, if you are game

BTW, Nice pic.  Rocky Fork Lake?

 

Welcome to the OR forum and sharp bike!  Check out the Epic Ride thread, OR peeps get together every spring for this ride.  Its a great way to meet and greet some of the OR community.

Just passed the bridge on SR73 heading toward 71 from Waynesville. As soon as you cross the bridge on the right. Picnic areas... Just keep going almost to the end.

Another good spot if you haven't been there is the Gorge. Pretty neat place.

A little story as to how we got the bike

A couple weeks ago we went to Springfield with plans on getting a black 2016 Ninja 636 ABS from dealership. While working some numbers, my fiance kept interrupting saying I needed to go see this other bike she found. We had previously had discussions about a bike and she new Ducati was like a dream bike for me but priced too high for me. I knew she had been in the Ducati section looking around. I really didn't want to see one and then leave without it so I continued to avoid it and focused on the ninja which was beautiful.

My fiance is persistent and she knew I would regret it later.... So she talked me into walking over to the Ducati section putting sales man on hold. She then pointed out a 2016 Ducati 959 Panigale. I was like yeah okay. The last time I looked up a Panigale it was like 24k to 30k It was gorgeous for sure in the bright red.

So I kind of made a smart remark by saying... You should check out the price tag as I started to walk away (I had not seen it either but easily assumed it was way up there). So she replied I already did and it's only about $50 to $60 difference in payments from the one your about to get over there and this is your dream bike. Sure enough the price was shocking unaware that it was much lower for the 959 model which I had no knowledge of.

Sure enough, as soon as I heard it start up and I reved it up... I was in love. I have to say my fiance was right... I would have kicked myself in the ass all the way home if I had not listened to her. Of course she reminds me quite often that it's thanks to her lol.

I have to say I'm quite lucky to have someone as special as her and so supportive.

Yesterday we took the bike to Ceasers Creek Lake for some photos of the bike. Wished it would have been sunny, but they came out pretty good.

Just started riding again after a few years off of bikes. Picked up a Ducati which has always been my dream bike and went with a 2016 Ducati 959 Panigale.

I ran into a guy in Hillsboro named OhioBob who told me about the forum. So here we are. Hope to do some riding with some of the members.
