Hello Fom Wiltshire
Hi all. Just bought a 2013 696+. Can't ride it till 24th due to hols. Won't be able to keep off it after that! Moved up from an SV650. Had a few British and Japanese bikes since 1970's but now I finally have a Ducati 😛

Welcome to the circus and all the fun ahead. I have fond memories of Wiltshire from 2 tours at Lyneham. Soo miss the decent country pubs from down that way.

Hi Maggsy, and welcome.
There are quite a few Monsterers scattered around Wiltshire and over the border in Hampshire. We should be due a breakfast meet next weekend, so may get to see your bike and have a chat?

Hello and welcome...
My Monster used to live in Trowbridge before I made it mine and fetched it home in a very hot smelly Transit van. I had a real treat on Friday evening...I spotted the RAF's new transport plane, the Atlas-440 (replacement for the Hercules). It was orbiting Norwich airport and clearly displaying some very un-transporter like manoeuvres for the benefit of a lucky crowd at the airport. I was very impressed indeed... Good luck with your Monster...No looking back now..

I'm sure I'll love the Monster. Hopefully I won't need too much luck. I haven't seen too many people posting about problems with the 696. Oh! I've probaby just jinxed myself! 🤔 |
