I'm just gonna repost my intro thread from the 'other' forums (dunno if there's tension there, I'm just playing it safe 
). Anyway...
Hello everyone, my name is Sean. I've been the proud owner of a 1999 Ducati 996 for a few years now. Decided to hop on some forums to pick your guys brains for help with my tech problems, but that'll be for another thread!
So I purchased my 996 about 5-6 years ago. Bought it with less than 3000 miles, and it still has less than 6k. Needless to say, I baby it, but also it's too damn hot to ride half the year here in AZ
The bike has HID heads, LED tails/blinkers, carbon fiber tidbits here and there, along with the single injector mod, a chipped ECU, and a LeoVinci exhaust. The exhuast is probably my favorite item on the bike, because as you may have noticed I spelt it "Vinci" instead of "Vince". At first, I thought it was a knockoff (albeit a very well made knockoff), but I couldn't find anything similar online. So I decided to go ahead and email customer support at LeoVince, inquiring about it. They replied that it was indeed a genuine LeoVince exhaust, however, it was made before they changed the spelling of their company. The name change was due to a lawsuite by an Italian trucking company called "Leo Vinci".
Anyway, enough babbling. Here's the bike from a while back, it's currently in pieces right now.
