Hi

After having an off in June where I hit a patch of gravel on my Street R, ended up flying and falling down a 25ft embankment and breaking my back, I thought I'd had enough of biking.

But, on a rare sunny day here in Angus, I started missing the bike so 1 day before we left for a 3 week holiday I went and bought this...

It's a 2012 Monster 1100EVO with just over 3000 on the clock.

The previous owner has lavished it with lots of lovely shiny things such as Termis (inc ECU, airfilter etc), Maxton rear shock, Maxton fork internals, blobs of carbon here and there and new belts just before I bought it.

So upon returning from holiday last week, the bike was delivered the next day and as with any other sensible V-twin owner, the baffles came out of the cans. MY GOD it's loud, and I love it.

Only managed out once due to the weather but it was a great run from home, through Glenshee to Braemar and back.

There was indeed... A Monster coming over them thar hills!!!

Thanks. To be honest I didn't even turn the bike over with the baffles in. I just wanted to be as anti-social as I could.

I don't mind the boom, it's akin to 2 large cannons propelling me along the road and plus... they wouldn't give you removeable baffles if they were supposed to stay in right???

Cheers

Welcome Jamie,

Nice having a Monster with Termi's, can't beat them.

Though i am sure my old neighbour was overjoyed when i moved as being on shiftwork and leaving at 5am probably did not endear me to them......i suspect having an open clutch cover really didn't help either.

Enjoy the bike.
