New member- sort of

Hi all. I was a member of this fine gaggle of Moster owners when the club was first formed. At the time I had a 93 900M, which many will remember as it was fitted with a sidecar! it was one of 10 Ducati I have owned over the years. Still have a 600M Tricoloure sitting in the Garage, which I am about to sell to part finance the purchace of an S4 or
S4R to compliment my small collection.

Hi Keith and welcome back

I do recall your M900 - Did you sell the sidecar outfit?

Would love to see a picture of the Monster with the sidecar, been a thought in my mind for years.

Good luck with the new project Keith

I've still got the trike I built in 2006, but the Buell has tempted me back onto 2 wheels more recently

The Trike looks like fun. Was the steering somwhat heavy with standard off set forks- It was a nightmare with the outfit, and only sorted when I fitted leading Links!

Needed a steering damper

Heavy on a dead throttle a low speeds but less heavy at speed, until you give it too much gas and the front wheel comes up..

then it goes very light
