Unhappy hello

Hi everyone.
please help yourself to one from the 'virtual' bar on me.
Beth's other half and mentor :P

Just joking - a better student and teacher ( her ) you will never meet.

Have to confess to not owning a Ducati - ever - although they do look gorgeous and sound absolutely sublime - nothing else on the road compares in that dept.

That said will be testing her next bike - the 696 - am a fan already - IT WILL BE MADE TO FIT !

looking fwd to many many miles admiring that beautiful rear end.

Hi mate, nice to see you here as well as 'there'.

Pull up a chair tis a real friendly place and even non-Monster owners are tolerated.

Hi phooey - welcome.

Bordon? I guess you are in the forces.

And don't worry - we WILL convert you to the way of the Monster. What do you ride now?

Hello and welcome, as singletrack says, what is your bike (we know it's silver), maybe a BMW GS? (just taking' a guess)

Hi, I don't think you will need to do much with the 696, We know of someone who had same issues, but seems to get on with the height of 696 easily.

I think the grin Beth will have after the test ride should give you the answer.

Hi there Nik.

Beth raved about the 'community' here - I reckon most dyed in the wool bikers are a sociable and friendly bunch, am relieved to hear owners of Bavarian machinery are humored :P

Humoured? I think tolerated may be a more appropriate word! (Joking of course).

And there's no worry about you confessing to being one of the boys in blue here.
