Hi Y'all
Found UKMOC by accident but happy I did. Heck some of you dudes are crazy, some weird, and others plain a danger to themselves(!) but all seem v friendly, helpful and truly entertaining.
So here's me...
My Monster life story (please don't yawn yet!):
1999, went seeking for a red 600. Saw ad in Autotrader for a silver 750. Never seen silver before and thought: 750, more than I can handle? More to insure? Heck, I'll just go along to dream. [Later...] Scherwing! Love at first sight, dream comes true! Not difficult at all. [Sorry for ever doubting you..] A pussycat and a lion, whenever, wherever.
2001, heart broken when morons took her for a joyride & wrote her off. I curse the b******s responsible!:fiery:
Went for another but it made Mam so happy that I was no longer on 2 wheels that I reluctantly said I wouldn't take another.
2006. After 5 years of increasing traffic jams, glorious summers days (sometimes!), the mediocraty of 4 wheels and a mending heart, I found love again: another silver 750. :heart:
Been a great summer but just developed an ignition problem. When cold, fires just on 1 cylinder. Then the other just kicks in after running about 10 mins (scary!). Thought it was cdi unit so bought 1 (£££!!) to then discover it was another problem. (Anyone need new cdi unit lemme know.) Getting sorted soon.
Not many Monsters in my native Newcastle. But hey, its good to be special.
For those still awake, sorry for posting probably the longest post ever! :banghead: But give this guy a chance. Not easy being the new boy who has to stand in front of the class to introduce himself!!
Take care y'all.
:thumbsup:
