Hi everyone,

I picked up my first Monster yesterday - a '95 M900. I've wanted one of these ever since reading the original review in Superbike in about '93 . I'm very pleased with it so far - looking forward to getting everything in fine fettle and perhaps a few tasteful modifications :biggrin:

Cheers,

Dan.

You should find it gets better as you learn the bike more.

The TPO parts tail chop is quite nice, depends on your plans and I'm sure that you'll find plenty of stuff to replace ... sigh remember once you start there is no real end to it :(

Dan,

As GT says 'Welcome' to the forum and enjoy the bike. May bump into you during 2012, depending on where and when your riding out to etc.

Manchesters area Rep is LousCannon (Jim) btw.

Hello amd welcome!

I'm near Wakefield. I've had 4 other Ducati's, but this is my first Monster. Loving every minute of so far, I've never spent so much on extra's either.

Do you ever stop off at Squires? If it's clear weather and dry roads I try and get out.
I'm also hoping to try and organise a proper run out next year once the weather picks up. Keep an eye on the Resgional annoucement section.

Hi and welcome to the mad house Dan. It would be good to see you at a meeting one day, maybe Arrow Mill in 2012?

Albie, your blog has the wrong date on it today. I tried to comment again, but no luck! Looking good I must say.

Greetings!

You can't beat the m900: even Gordon keeps following behind and waits for them to Pitstop to give the lead!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I will try and get to a meet next year.

There is already a growing pile of parts collecting at the local sorting office.....
