Talking From one Italian to another....

...well in spirit anyway.

Hi all, as of tonight, just purchased myself an '07 XTX with 3.4k on the clocks, totally standard (not for too long )

Just traded my '11 reg Ducati Monster 796 for it. I had a slight issue with the monster and by chance the dealer whilst getting it checked under warranty leant me this XTX...and it has blown me away just how good it is to ride, so much fun, handles two up and for once....NO FEAR OF POT-HOLES!!!

I can't wait to uncork the blue beast, and i've been perusing Kevs mod list a lot.

Looking forward to seeking good times and good advice from the folk on here.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Good choice on the bike, it always seem that once people take a test ride they are hooked.

Piccies are a must when you have the bike

Awee dram and a good coffee

Keithblade your a man with taste- whiskey and coffee are two of my passions, very fond of Laphroaig. I've got access down the road from me to one of the greatest coffee roasters in the UK-Atkinsons tean and coffee merchants- they roast on site and procure all coffee direct from the farmers. Got addicted 6 years ago, go through 1kg of fresh coffee a week....

cheers for the warm welcome guys, need to get shopping for upgrades for the XT now!
