the day I'm meant to be going to a tattoo convention, but got word it wisnae that busy, so thought it's rude no too go for a blast, first thing I noticed is the seat height compared to the tuono, ma feet were flat on the ground, nae mair tip toes , no a bad thing , kindled it up an off a went , clutch was fairly light , rizoma rearsets fit me feet position braw, apart fae the clutch an brake pedal , need lifted to suit me, but foot position aw good,,, did think about renthals, but the bar position suits me pretty decent , just enough weight on the front end an a cafe race feel, money saved on buyin coo horn handle bars , nicking through the town, fairly nimble , and given it wee bits o gas , itchin to nail it,,, hud on sean, you'll be on the guide roads soon, up to now it's aw good, get oot the toon, and decide to open it up, ,,, very impressed it's a grunty wee ****e, I was concerned about the95 horses , but was mighty Impressed, it was on the ton in no time , nimble to hit the bends, fairly comfy for a small bike, done 70 miles before I had a stop, pins an needles , but I get that whatever I'm on , on the whole , I've gotta say I'm totally impressed with the bike, I normally change ma bikes in months, but think I'll maybe be keepin this for a guid while , at the end o the day, who needs 190 m ph, that nae one uses , unless their in the pub talkin pish to their mates,,,,, 68 quid fully comp for a real world bike wi stacks o grunt an power ,,, what's no to like,,,, aw ready the money pit has started , belly pan on route , a red and carbon clutch plate, stainless springs and cups,,,, do I really need asv levers, no!! ,,, but their feckin cool, so I'll be lookin at them ,,,,

Well that's the first time I've seen a Scottish accent written and the weird thing is as I was reading it it was actually sounding Scottish in my head.

[Yorkie]

I used to live in Fife, I never understood them when they were speaking let alone the written word.

Welcome aboard.

Glad you're enjoying the new bike Seanylad.

Not the first time I've seen very Scottish posts on bike forums though - there's a guy on the other Ducati forum, Finm, who's the other side of Scotland (somewhere south west ish) whose posts also have a distinctly Scots tone.

[seanylad]

Aye , I normally ayways text hoo I speak,,, it's a bugger gettin a new font an loading the dialect intae predicted text 😉

[seanylad]

Where'd ye stay in fife Yorkie min, ?

[Yorkie]

Anstruther or Ainster as the local folk said, I lived there for about 3 years. Had some friends in Crail and all the other little fishing villages. I loved it up there.

[seanylad]

Ach min, thays just doon the road,, a stayed in muchty toll a few weeks back, an moving tae kettle in Oct, currently at ma maws in ladybank till a get he keys to ma new hoose..

[SunEye]

Only downside up till now,,,, seat crushes nuts,, ,, , 😨
The Ducati touring seat helps in this area. It is also more comfortable in general and a few mm taller than tha standard seat. I can do fuel stop to fuel stop riding on mine and not feel uncomfortable. I rode 275 miles the other day just stopping for fuel. Didn't feel any discomfort at all. I have M1100 bar risers on my evo so the riding position is the same as the M1100, although your foot position may be slightly different due to your rearsets.

[Dirty]

I've tried google translate but it just crashes so I've pretty much given up. The internet doesn't lend itself to writing that takes effort to read. I leave that to Tolstoy and come here to relax but hey ho.

[garry]

Glad ter happy wi it seany, back ter pissin doon here...

so in the lab fettlin....

suneye, what are these risers yer speak of ??

[SunEye]

garry,
The bar riser is the piece underneath the bars that the clamp that holds the bars in place is screwed into. On the evo the riser is 20mm taller than on the M1100. This makes the riding position more upright. I found that to be more uncomfortable because it put more weight on my backside. Also the evo riser reflects in the speedo, which can be fixed with some black tape being stuck to the back of the riser and clamp. However the lower M1100 one does not reflect in the speedo. The M1100 riser is a direct replacement for the evo one.

[Dave G]

The comedy scots speak isn't helped by the lack of punctuation.:worried:

It's an affectation that just makes people not bother reading what you've written.
I speak in a heavy Scots dialect too but would rather write clearly in order for most on here to be able to read it.

[utopia]

Yup, have to say I agree.
I did try to read it but it was hard going and I skipped a few bits.
The odd word would be ok for character but a whole new language is too much for me.
Just saying....no offence intended.

Glad you're enjoying the new bike though.
I very much agree that 95bhp is more than enough from a torquey motor.
Heck, I get along fine with 63.

Lang may yer lum reek........:scratch:

[steeevvvooo]

I normally change ma bikes in months, but think I'll maybe be keepin this for a guid while... the money pit has started , belly pan on route , a red and carbon clutch plate, stainless springs and cups,,,, do I really need asv levers, no!! ,,, but their feckin cool, so I'll be lookin at them ,,,,


regardless of language it is written in, this bit is universal "Monsterish" :D

Glad you're enjoying the bike :thumbsup:

[LVC]

Nope got to the end of line 1 and assumed that it was another "spam" post so didn't bother trying to decipher the rest.

No point in writing things on an open UK forum that the people that use it can't read - Welcome to the forum btw and here's looking forward to reading posts from you that I can understand :mand:

[Akita Boy]

So it turns out that along with google translate, I can't speak Jockanese.

So either

A -welcome to the forums, glad you like the new bike there's some truely great roads north of the wall
Or
B - sorry you're not getting along with the bike, hope you kept the receipt.

Pls delete as applicable.

[Dirty]

To be honest although I can't read what he has written I have to thank the OP for helping me to come to a difficult decision. Come the referendum in September I'll be voting 'Yes''! :)

[garry]

after all the comments, a doubt yer gonna change owd seanyboy.....

Quite agree but what's the point of sharing on a forum if very few people can read what you write :confused:

C'est comme si j’écris chaque post en Français car j'habite en France - c'est seulement intéressant pour les gens qui peuvent lire Français qui exclus la plus part des gens sur un forum UK - don't you agree ?

[garry]

mais personne ne se soucie vraiment des français.

[LVC]

C'est ça LA différence - tu peux mettre les choses écrit en Français dans google pour faire un traduction mais un "dialecte" ne fonctionne pas - j'ai la famille en Glasgow et la plupart de temps je ne comprends rien qu'ils dissent mais oublie l’idée de lire les choses ils écrivent.

So we'll stay in English with limited "text-talk" and hopefully be able to continue the excellent conversations we've been accustomed to having for a very, very long time to come :mand:

No but I'm getting the sheep locked up just in case :eek:

[garry]

reet.......

[utopia]

Tbh, I have one foot on either side of the fence....as usual.
I do find the scotspeak kinda endearing, despite it being only semi intelligible.
Though any tech detail is likely to be vague at best.
But, "Vive la difference", I guess.

Also (and excuse the rare use of txt spk) ......PMSL at the sheep thing, despite (or because of ?) having no idea at all what the welsh translated to.

Scotland where the men wear skirts and the animals are scared :on:

Before you beat me up I am 1/4 scottish and often wear the Blair tartan albeit a tie (Grandma's clan) :drunk:

Well, good luck with the perseverance of dialect speak, though only a few on here like myself will comprehend it properly and most won't bother trying to reply.

You can try your luck here, but even Aaron had trouble making his posts understood to a mainly scottish membership.
Enjoy the monster though, anything interesting planned for it?

[Stued]

Could I get subtitles?

I think there may have been something I missed! I spent 21 years around about Moray and Aberdeenshire and can honestly say Seanylad, and I say it with the utmost respect, you need a Banjo

PMSL :yoparty:

seanylad clearly you can read and write in English as you have understood all that's been written on this post, your choice to write in a phonetic/dialect is fine but don't get all annoyed when the majority of us can't understand what you've written - we don't read and write Scottish dialect, sorry.

The base language for this forum is English and we've had Monster owners from all over the world who manage to write in English even if it's not their native language. It's a friendly place to be with lots of useful information but in order for it to work for you you really need to write in English so that we can communicate with you otherwise it's a bit pointless writing on a forum where virtually no-one can reply - bit like just talking to yourself really.

Hoping you hang around and can enrich this place with your presence but in English please ;)
