[Ducati] New Member checking in

[Steve Abramson]

Hey Graydon! I have a '94CR. 2nd owner since 1996 with 2,800 mi at the time. 
You got an awesome street bike (track bike too...........). I am a relative 
newbie, acknowledging Alex and Harlyn as being proper members. I will be one 
year on the list in August. It has been a great experience, and I have met a 
number of nice and knowledgable people online. I chip in to a thread from 
time to time-it's satisfying. Hey Harlyn, is there a registry for us 
unclothed CR folk?
