The team at Ducati of Seattle was wonderful. Everything was done over the phone and it was easy peasy. Got a great deal on a leftover 14, had 4 miles on the clock.

Now the trip back down to Reno was a different story. Just happens the largest Pacific Storm to hit the Pacific Northwest was yesterday afternoon/evening. The entire 225 mile ride down to Salem Oregon, where I planned to spend the night was a torrential downpour. The wind was horrific and most of the ride was in the dark. My LED's along with my LED Auxillary lights that I had installed made thing better. The bike handled very well in the rain. However, my rain gear failed miserably. My Frogg Toggs and my Gortex Boots were no match against mother nature.

My parking spot at the hotel.

Today's ride was mostly dry, but just damn cold. LOL, I have burn marks on the palm of my hands from the heated grips. I had it on max the entire 10+ hours today. 750 miles on the clock in just over 24 hrs.

New addition to keep the Fizzer company.

Had lunch while the first service was done eh? Lol

She's looking good. A nice weather toy until the FZ6 dies, or will she be taking on some of the work horse duties?

Mucho Congratulations, Kenny! I know you've been thinking about that bike for at least a couple years now.

I'd've freaked out having to ride in a downpour on a brand-new bike, but I bet you two bonded well after an ordeal like that!

Wow amazing bike Kenny, when anyone asked me what would your dream bike be (if money was not an issue) I would say a multistrada :drool:

Looking forward to your review :thumbup:
