[Ducati] Re: Advice for a new (old) rider?

[Dave Lewis]

On the 07 S2 1000 I am using standard for now and doing OK; however, I will
consider raising them an 1" if I start having problems. Another think I am
practicing is good posture before it is too late... shoulders back and down,
stand up straight and hold your head up.
