I'm technically not a Monster owner, my wife is (Snick) but as I'm going to be maintaining it and occasionally riding it when I can prise it out of her grubby paws I thought I'd subscribe and say hello.
I've been riding for lots of years and mostly owned old Suzuki's although I did have a couple of years with Honda Transalps and a disastrous year with a Triumph Tiger. My current bike is a Suzuki GSX750ET from 1981 but it's off the road waiting for a new clutch and alternator.
Cheers
Andy
