Hey all. I am a new member to this forum.. just picked up an RC about 2-1/2 weeks ago.. i live in ft.myers, fl.. southwest part of fl. i have been riding for about 7 years now.. my last bike was a track prepped / street 04' ducati 749

Welcome!!
I live up in Sarasota with an '02 RC51.
Nice weather to ride so far this year. :D

If you're up in Sarasota, drop by Fuel Cafe on Siesta Dr. and meet Dex, the owner.
He races his Duc when he gets a chance.
During race season, we gather together and watch MotoGP and WSBK.

yep!! i was there a few months back when they had that big event there.. i am good friends with Leanne the finance girl from Eurocycles of Tampa Bay.. I met Dex that day also.

Excuse me, but I'm trying to place the bike/person.

Is your Duc the 749 with black race bodywork for track days at Jennings and you swap it for street bodywork when not?

Or maybe I'm confusing you with yet another rider with a 749.
And what year is your RC51?

Actually it's a good think when there's too many bikes/riders to remember!!
