Just joined the forum yesterday and wanted to say hello to all you guys. I've finally bought a 1999 M900 (yellow one) after years of deliberating and riding triumphs, BMW's Yamahas etc. I think my passion for Italian machines was fulfilled somewhat by my 1967 Vespa GT, but I could wait no longer! I'm a bit miffed actually, because before I had a chance to collect her I was whisked off by my job working on survey boats. I'm currently bobbing about in the north sea waiting to go home and pick up my duc :grump: Anyway, look forward to chatting in the future. I'm off to the technical section now to ask about dry clutches. Ride safe y'all.

HI benson. Yes, I'm on the Wirral right on the River Dee by the N Wales border. Plenty of bikes around here but haven't seen one Ducati!!?? Look forward to chatting in the future.

Hi Bunny. Thanks for the welcome. I bought a Vespa from a guy in Gillingham a few years back. Small world isn't it? Take care.

Welcome!!

There was quite a few of us down at the Wirral Egg run earlier this year! There's quite a few active Ducati owners out that way, including a handful of Monsters, so you should be in good company....

Welcome to the club, I hope it's not too choppy on the ocean waves and that the weather holds out for you when you return to the Monster.

Hello Bunny. No, I don't recall a mohican, in fact I don't recall what he looked like very well at all!! I do remember it was a lovely part of the world down there! and thanks for all your welcomes.
