Newbie in Wiltshire

Evenin all.

I have just bought a Monster 900 to keep my 900 SuperLight company in the garage.

I met Rally a few weeks ago when he kindly showed me his 900 that's for sale. Nice to meet you Alun & the bike is fantastic but actually its too good for me!

I have the desire for something a little different & it would be just wrong to change your bike after all the effort you put in to get it to standard.

Mine may be known to people on here as it was bike of the month in June 2008

Anyway, it's in my garage now! I did a 100 mile trip on Sunday & loved the way it rides & sounds. I have a set of FCR41s on the bench ready to go on too :)

Hope to meet a few of you west country Monsterers on the road some time.

Cheers

Ian

Hi ian

Welcome to the club.

You've met Rally so you have a fair idea what we are like.

Hopefully you can make it to Hilltop on 16th

Cheers

Hi and welcome. I frequent Wiltshire now and again thanks to Rally and Jaq's hospitality so hope to see you out sometime soon. Thats a great bike and is the star pic of this months UKMOC 2011 calendar. He must have only had it a year and sold to you. Great looking bike.

Did I mention the new 2012 calendar is now on sale in the for sale section.

Cheers

Evening Wilties, were all on here tonight down the A360! Hi Ian, I'm pleased to see you have yourself a good looking bike, Ex Giler and Coolhands. As Albie says, this months star bike as well on the calendar.

I hope to meet up with you soon, maybe on the 16th for brekkie. We can always have an earlier meet in town and then catch up with Madgadget and Pedro on the way through thier village?

It would have been good if there had been a change of brekkie meet or an extra meet last Sunday due to the good weather!?

I thought the same Liz. There is also a 'Hogging the Bridge going on on the 16th as well which may have been fun instead of brekkie. Thats why I put "or somewhere else" on the 1st post. No one has suggested a change though apart from Desmo? Simply nice to meet up eh.

[IanB]

Thanks for the warm welcome all!

The 16th sounds good, where is the Hilltop?

Ian, The Hilltop is on the main road out of Salisbury towards Stockbridge. I think it's the A30 from memory? It is about 5 miles out of town on top of the hill. (There is a clue in the name!)

Hi Ian

New to Ducati's and this site too.
I can't make the 16th, I'm about to go off to Kenya for a Charity cycle ride the end of this month, I'll be cycling not motorbiking on the 16th

Did you not see the forecast then Gordon? They actually got it right some days in advance!

That aside, hi Ian and welcome to the forum.
