I thought this would be an interesting idea.....a great way for us fellow MV enthusiasts to get to know eachother a little bit better.
I'll kick things off for starters.
My name is Jeff, born and raised in California........ my entire family lives on different parts of the US......my mother and brother currently reside in the wonderful state of Maryland....my only sister lives with her Marine husband in beautiful hawaii.
Just turned 21 this past january and have officially began to enjoy the benefits of being of "legal age".....I live in the wonderfully over rated city of Rancho Cucamonga with my girlfriend of 4 years....just bought a condo out here...and slowly moving myself up the ladder.
i started the whole college thing as soon as i finished high school.....went for about 2 years...got my associates degree in business administration....and decided at that time that i needed a break from school for a little while.
I worked in a custom motorcycle shop doing bodywork and simple grunt work around....oil changes....rejetting carbs....etc etc.... i opened up a sportbike parts "store" in the shop and ran that successfully for about a year...serving all 50 states. I loved the job, but the pay was very minimal and i decided to search for a career. I kind of fell into this whole real estate thing, my cousin who was a loan officer actually let me tag along with him at work a couple weeks and i realized that it was something i knew i could do. Now with hundreds of loans closed and numerous "top producer" awards...here i am today. I do both ends of real estate...sales and loans...but specialize in mortgages.
My first bike was a honda cbr600......i rode the bike until it broke...putting close to 30,000 miles on it in about 18 months......went through about 20 pairs of knee pucks in that short period...and further enhanced my love for riding.
I moved onto my ducati 748........which i had a blast on as well......but it being a used bike (and me being way to enthusiastic to buy it) the previous owner did not take care of her....and i inherited every problem she had. so...thousands of dollars later.....she's finally in the working condition i'd hoped for her to be in at the time of purchase.
I recently bought my MV from pro italia as you all may know.......and i can't explain just how happy i am to have the SPR. I look forward to many good times with her....and i've already bought a couple pairs of knee sliders to break her in properly. :naughty:
Thanks to everyone on here for their wonderful hospitality, this is by far the best group of people on any forum i've ever been on.

Just saw this
Well guys my names Stewart. Been riding for about 11 years. Originally I wanted an 848. Now that Ducati doesn't offer the single sided swing arm I was a bit bummed. Someone suggested a MV. I said a M what? Googled MV Agusta... and here I am. Pretty damn happy with My F3.
It truly is a work of art.
Work at USPS. When I'm not busy kicking your order from evolutionbike.it and DesignCorse, I'm delivering all those wonderful credit card offers and coupons :laughing:
Live in Vegas, originally from NY. While I miss parts of NY, I don't miss the taxes and draconian gun laws.
When I'm not out riding (we get 365 days of riding weather here) you can find me at the range, or relaxing at home.
Plenty of amazing riding in and around Vegas. We may not have a whole ton of twisties, but we have some fantastic views.
Speaking of 365 riding, I was a bit perplexed when my dealer gave me my battery tender. I asked what it was for. He said in case you don't ride for a few weeks, it could kill your battery. I laughed. Like an evil sinister you don't know who your dealing with laugh. Bought my bike in June of last year, almost 6k on the odometer. With work, I didn't get very much riding in from Sept-Dec. I plan to get to 20k by next June. Ride it till the fuckin wheels fall off :yo:

well my turn
judging by my name I am German and I was born south west of Regensburg/Bavaria still north of the Limes I left home when I was 15 to explore the world, signed on with the Military and spent some time doing some stuff. I earned my 1st bike when I was 12 which was a 250 Maico scrambler, replaced by a Yamaha DT80, TZR250, RD500, KTM620LC4 and after some Ducatis and one Jap bike in between before I moved back to Ducati and MV.
I am not typical German, still proud however I moved a lot around and stayed/lived in quite some countries (6 months ++ Italy, Ireland, UK, France, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, Middle East, Malta and da Fatherland). Apart from bikes I was always into sports, used to fight for the German National Kyokushin Karate Team back in the 90s and became 3 times Singapore Kyokushin Karate Champion between 2007-2009. I am also no foreigner to shooting, was representing my squadron back in the 90s but now I am more into Archery. Instructing every now and then how to shoot a bow without missing your target, kinda old fashion hunting style. I might go back into Karate teaching once back home
I have 3 great kids, but divorced a long time ago. My older son is riding my 750ssie and the 2nd one is just doing his license and annoys the shit out of me to buy him a 125cc road bike.
I am straight to the point, no bull talk and I hate FB and whining people and twitter on top...
