Hi All.
Test rode a Diavel (what a bike) at the BMF earlier this year and got the Ducati bug having never owned one before.
Had to settle for a M900S which I've had for a week now, absolutely loving it.

don't think of it as "settling" for a monster, just getting back to basics. Who needs all that fancy stuff on th Diavel?! Your grin will be just as big after a good ride on the monster as a Diavel…

Enjoy riding it, and get some pics up! :thumbsup:

Yes the Welding institute, my brother used to clean the toilets there as a summer job. Regrettably he's moved on. I take it you've been to the place Grumpy, my mum often puts up people who attend the courses.

I've lived in the area since I was 14, first Walden then Haverhill.
Even though I now live nr Halstead, I often drive through Abington to go to Cambridge on business, plus 1 of my friends was on the maintanance staff before the site expanded and another is the assistant manager at the on site nursery!

well I never, we moved to Abington in the 70's. My dad used to shop in Walden, lovely town/village. Most of us kids worked at the Welding as kids doing the cleaning etc.

What a small world it is!! nice to have met a Cambridge 'yocal' on here.

When you down the Ace again

No idea about Italian night, don't know if it still functions! bit dissapointed to be honest with the lack of monstering at the Ace. It would be much nicer to meet up with some fellow like minded monser-ers instead of drinking Tea on my tod!!
