Warning: thread hijack. You must be referring to Jenny Morgan , who I have met a couple of times trail riding in the Pyrenees. I had no idea she was into Ducatis. Jenny is the best offroad rider I have ever seen.

Yes the very same and while on the subject of hijacking threads this was Sméagol before it was ‘the ghost of Sméagol past’ - in fact even before it had the single sided swing arm conversation but taken somewhere in Wales 2003 before heading to get the exhaust made.



We blatted around the green lanes of Sussex for a while, her on a Honda XR400 and me on the DR-Z until most of the lanes got closed to vehicular traffic.



I spent most of my time picking it up out of the mud before she took things more seriously doing the Heroes Legends, which was the original Paris Dakar route and they still allowed the ‘big bikes’

The Sport Classic wheels that will fit a Monster are a. heavy, b. require tubed tires, c low spec ones are chrome steel and the higher spec eg rarer ones are alloy and d. you need to downgrade brakes to single caliper type or modify existing ones to fit. if you still want spoked wheels that will fit with tubeless tyres?

Then you are looking at Aplina or Kineo or similar for about £800 per wheel! I thought about it a lot but no, its not worth it considering that the spoke wheels are actually heavier than the standard wheels and if I wanted to upgrade then I would want to fit lighter wheels I would go carbon for a similar cost anyway.

Very nice work, but wow, those clip-ons are low.
