My name is Matias and Im an undecided freshman here at JMU. Im Huntington, NY on the north shore of Long Island. Motorcycles are my passion and I figured this may be the place to meet some people with the same interests.
I currently Ride a 2012 Ducati Panigale 1199S and drive a 2016 Jeep wrangler unlimited. Over the past year alone I've owned 6 motorcycles(my father has had another 5 individual bikes, so 11 bikes total this year.) I started riding when I was 5 years old and rode dirt and some stealthy street riding(illegally) until I was able to get a license.My first street bike was a 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 821 with a termignoni exhaust. I traded that bike for a 2015 s1000r which I rode throughout the snowy winter of 2014-15. The bike was fast, but too many upgrades were needed to have it handle well under high speeds. So, that bike was traded for a 2015 Ducati Panigale 899, which i added a ducati performance seat, Ducati performance bar ends, and a newragecycles FEK. I had put a thousand miles on that bike in only a few weeks until I was hit making a left in Huntington. With the clip ons, clamp, and possibly the forks bent and a thousand dollars in fairing work I sold the bike. I had a concussion and a slight tear in my labrum as well as problems with my meniscus. Eventually June of 2015 came around and I was back in riding condition. I bought a 2015 Hypermotard SP, i put on LightTech rear sets, and anodized axel sliders, 6 days later the bike was stolen with only 450 miles on it. With the insurance money I got a 2015 MV agusta. I hurt my hand in a battery explosion and couldn't ride for most of the summer, but when i could I rode that bike a lot. 3 days before leaving for JMU I had come home at 3am after a highway night run, a mile from my house I hit a deer at over 65mph. I managed to control the violent tank slapper and I didn't go down! The bike had 4k worth of damage and about 6 months of ordering parts from italy. This past week the dealership offered me a great deal on my current 1199s and i couldn't resist. The bike rides great and is pushing 200hp with the full Ti Termignoni exhaust and Termignoni Racing Evolution upmap. Anyways, sorry for the rambling, here are some picks.
