Rob,
thanks mate.....Let me intoduce myself, I live near Newcastle, have been on Ducati for many years, have plenty of spare time, member of Scottish Ducati Club and Ducati up North.....propose to try and generate some Monster interest up here with fellow enthusiasts, monthly meets, rideouts etc...I know Scotty has a lot on his plate so he won't mind me pinching his post!!
So if our N E bretheran would make themselves known to me we can start the proverbial ball rolling....:biggrin:
Cheers
Strumbuddy aka Bruce

:piglet: Nice one - I have never been further north than Manchester - how bad is that

[Wasta]

Being from Durham I hope to meet up for some rideouts in 2013. At present I'm working overseas but hope to be home for good in April.

You've never ever never been north of Manchester!!!! You must be pullin' me leg!! So you have not ridden in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, Cumbrian Moors, Northumberland Hills, never mind over the border into bonnie Scotland....words fail me....
Having said that I have only been to London twice, last time was 15 years ago....Oh and by the way Char I thought you had a proper SF as in 1098 not the lassies 848 one!!!:eek:


Only kiddin'........:biggrin:

[Kieranrb]

Alright, I'm 20 mins outside of Newcastle, made the stupid mistake of selling my Monster for an SV, fully intend to sell it in the new year and try to find a monster I can afford! fingers crossed i can be up and running soon!

So why do your details still list your bike as a M600 then? :roll eyes:

Hi Bruce

I'm home from the 17th Of Feb for a couple of weeks, if you fancy a meet I'm up for it.

The club did organise a camping weekend at Squires Cafe near Leeds once - charity event

Think about a dozen members including myself attended

[Char]

mock all you like - 1098 version does nothing for me (size does matter just not in this instance)

think I went to Hadrians wall once & a cabin in the lake district

I'll head south where the weather is warmer - thank you for the offer though :freak:

Mark, thanks for that, I feel a NY NE group meet coming up in the spring!!!! Would be fairly easy to arrange, I have so far identified approx 8 Monsters over this forum and DUN so far and will be contacting all......
Watch this space....

That was in 2005 or 2006 wasn't it!
Best regards

[gary tompkins]

Yes I think it was Mark

Tigerlily organised the event (M.A.D. weekend fundraiser for charity) and it was a great fun

[nambduke]

Lowsider has abdicated (the King is Dead, long live the King) and gone with the Streetfighter gang.

I suppose I should put my name in the hat and cover the rest of Yorkshire.

The NE section really covers Newcastle/Durham, the Yorkshire area actually covers south of the River Tees.

DUN - t'others on't Ducati's - seem to be Newcastle towards the borders from many of the posts I read.....

Any thoughts?

Best regards
Mark

A volunteer is worth 3 conscripts... We'll send you the hat.

Naa, its a beanie hat, same as Beni wore in Crossroads!:D

[gary tompkins]

Don't be daft... got to be one of these

Standard issue as worn by Yorkshire pigeon breeders, whippet fanciers... and now UKMOC reps ;)

whoah there GT, Ecky-Thump was the Lancashire martial art, your b&w rose is the wrong colour

[gary tompkins]

It was the flat cap attire rather than Ecky Thump specifically that I was referring to

Anyone from beyond Watford Gap counts as a 'eeebyeck' Northerner in my book ;)
