padu 312 Posted August 25, 2021 Hi All, My name is Paulo (Padu) Merlotti. I joined about 2 months ago but I think my registration email got to my spam folder. Anyways, got it sorted out (thanks admins!). I started riding about 20 years ago on sport motorcycles. I started with a Suzuki SV650 naked (loved that bike!) and then moved to a Suzuki GSX-R 600. I put 100K+ miles on both bikes on commuting, twisties (Palomar every weekend) and track days. Sold the bikes to raise my kids. Now that they are older I'm back into it. About 2 months ago I bought a 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S. I'm slowly getting it (and myself) prepared for long journeys. The goal is to ride some BDRs, Baja, and obviously local trips. The dirt bug bit me hard, and I also bought a dirt bike (2013 KTM 450 SX-F). I have a couple of friends that meet most Saturdays on McCain Valley and it's a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to meet you guys in person and join some local (and some non local) rides. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
