Blimey, John.
For such a late starter you have made rapid progress to the top of the available machinery.
The 1100evo makes me grin like no other new model.
Welcome.
The weekender is upon us, and a good place to meet up.....?
Not too far from your old neck of the woods either.

hi all,52years young and did my direct access last year so totally legal now! rode all sorts of 250's in my teens and couple of 500's but never bothered to take a test. got a couple of harley davidson mt350 military bikes for a bit of fun and thought i'd try something a bit quicker. decided on a monster evo because of the abs and traction control and it is brilliant. just recently completed the 'bike 8' around britain (5 days,1600 miles and a very sore ass) got termi's fitted and the sound is awesome . this bike makes me smile every time i ride it. hope to meet up with a few members, regards greg

Hi there, got 10 plate 1100 monster last Saturday after two years on a R1200GS wanted something more spirited so to speak. As you can imagine totally different ride and one of my better decisions.
Bloody love it !!

Just a quick pop by to say hello, new member from Milton Keynes, 695 monster rider. Was hoping to catch the weekender but left it to my partner, also monster owner to check dates and time, resulting in us turning up Monday morning to a car park full of cars. Next time?

Albie · 08-05-2013, 08:05 PM

Next time then but welcome anyhow and no excuse for next year then lol

Hi All, a great and informative site, so well done. Used to have a M900s but not been back in the saddle for 6yrs. Bought the M1100 in March and loving it. First decent ride out was last week to Rye and took girlfriend on her first ever pillion - she loved it luckily! In at the deep end as they say. Had evotech tailtidy fitted, and looking for some aftermarket cans if anyone has any suggestions please? Hope to meet some of you in the near future.
Thanks, Dean.

Hi dean. You have Scrapps on your doorstep and plenty in Kent. I have an 1100s but Termis. There was not much around back then. The QD maxcone and other range of 2-1 pipes are a tad loud but if you neighbours are cool you will be ok. Rally nearly got an ASBO yeah really so he has Termis now. Depends on money and looks but MiVV or Leo Vince are decent. I believe Termi are the only ones which run the ECU but its only to even the midrange out. 1 -2 hp max more if that.

Hi Albie, thanks for your advice and may have a look at the MiVV exhausts then. 2-1 are a no-no as live in a cul-de-sac and think we're the youngest couple here, so wouldn't go down to well! I'll have a look on ebay for them now. Thanks again.

Hi All,

Great site and full of knowledge.
I've had a few Ducatis in the past but always wanted a Monster so finally got a '93 M900.
Needs a bunch of work to look nice but busy changing bolts and cleaning it up so all advice gratefully received.
Trying to source the rubber cable ties used on the frame as well as the tiny self tapping screws used around the clocks.

All the best,

Pete (Bristol based)
