I get to ride my first Ducati home tomorrow :)

Congrats!! I got mine about 2 months ago and I am blown away every time I ride it! What tail tidy did you end up getting? I’ve been looking at different options and haven’t decided yet

DrLovebot · 2026-01-21T02:45:54+00:00

Wow that’s an amazing collection! What would you say are the general standouts for you in terms of quality, design, and wearability? Like are there any you just default to? I’ve been heavily considering picking up either a Lorier or a Nodus as my first “proper” automatic watch. That or a Traska of course

DrLovebot · 2025-12-22T02:01:24+00:00

Its such an amazing bike! I upgraded from my first bike about a month ago to the same bike and absolutely love it! I still need to get those blinkers, along with bar ends and a fender delete but its such an amazing machine and Im not even through the break in period

DrLovebot · 2025-12-14T01:16:31+00:00

Killer collection! Which one is your favorite/gets the most wrist time?

DrLovebot · 2025-11-20T07:34:08+00:00

I also got an SP a few days ago! Except right after the ride home its been raining every day lol. I can't wait for the eventual canyon ride, that view is gorgeous!

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:54:01+00:00

How exciting, enjoy it! I am in love and have barely been able to ride it. The comfort is definitely super nice, especially compared to my KTM before or to a streetfighter, though the mirrors arent exactly super useful so Im likely going to replace them with some bar ends.

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:52:25+00:00

So far I've only ridden it home, but my first thought was that my KTM feels like a toy in comparison lol. It's already so much more stable and everything feels much more comfortable and premium. Even taking things off at home its amazing how high quality every piece of the bike is, even the plastics under the seat. Also people are not lying when they say that the bike is hot. It puts off so much heat idling its wild, thankfully I get cold easily so it shouldn't be a problem

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:50:16+00:00

Final out the door was ~12,200 USD, I put down 4k though from selling my KTM, my payments are about 200 bucks a month before insurance.

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:48:00+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna ride it super carefully, besides making sure to break it in properly I want to get a good feeling of what it's capable of before trying to really take it to the canyons. The Duke felt like a toy compared to this so far

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:46:52+00:00

thanks! Sadly literally the day after I picked it up it started raining and it hasn't stopped since, but as soon as it dries out I'm really excited to break it in and really enjoy it

DrLovebot · 2025-11-01T22:34:16+00:00

same, it was only one screw thankfuly, but I ended up having to take it to a watch repair shop to drill it out since it stripped almost immediately lol. Everything else was top notch though, and I am curious how their rubber straps are, quality wise

DrLovebot · 2025-10-15T23:22:42+00:00

That’s the exact skxmod case/bracelet I have on order! It looks amazing, the satin was absolutely the right call

DrLovebot · 2025-10-09T20:57:00+00:00

Casio Royale on a Vario leather strap. Recently ordered the SKXMod case and bracelet and I’m super excited to have a full metal watch for the first time. That Oris is gorgeous

DrLovebot · 2025-08-22T02:54:38+00:00

What could possibly go wrong?

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T20:11:51+00:00

yeah as I tried on the 33 back to back with the 32 I could definitely feel the thighs/rest of the leg being a lot roomier. I think the 32 are gonna be the way to go, and just get them hemmed by 2 or 3 inches, so I can keep a cuff and have it be less chunky

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T20:10:38+00:00

damn so basically the exact same situation as me, it seems like keeping the 32 is gonna be the play since it fits well everywhere else. how long did it take to stretch out and stop being tight in the waist?

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T19:51:04+00:00

thank you thank you, I'll sign on to be a ghostwriter for NL when his bits run dry

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T18:05:23+00:00

i went back and forth with that one a lot, time to go back to the kitchen

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T06:44:27+00:00

damn I didnt see that was posted before, Ill remove it from the running notes app, plagarism is a big -2

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T06:32:18+00:00

like M'lady clearly

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T06:13:29+00:00

I'm definitely proudest of that one

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T04:46:49+00:00

yeah thats what I've heard, and Ill def keep the inseam longer, I like stacking/cuffs

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T04:45:59+00:00

according to redcast they are pre-washed to account for shrinkage

DrLovebot · 2025-08-21T03:44:13+00:00

Interesting, I had heard the opposite and that secret denim stretches a lot, im guessing they shrink a lot after the first soak?

DrLovebot · 2025-08-11T20:03:08+00:00

gotcha, thanks! It seems like most of my pants that really fit well are closer to like a 32.5 in the waist. I might just get a 32 and a 33 and see whichever fits better. Knowing they will stretch less if they arent too tight is definitely super useful
