Hi everyone, I'm new to Scramblers and Ducati, but I must say it's a great bike!
It's first big run yesterday, and tested it's and my capabilities down some green lanes.

The loose gravel was no problem, but as this changed to mud, it was a bit slippy (as expected with the stock tyres).

Above all, it was the most fun yet on a bike!

Looks lovely where you live. Seems perfect for a FT.

As an aside, riding in those conditions, you may want to seal the opening under the seat pan near the storage compartment. I used some thick foam rope, also known as "backing rod", found in most hardware stores. It is working well and keeping the area under my seat clean.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy the ride!

It wasn't like that at the end of the day, jet wash time!
