Hi from Leicester

Hi Just bought a Monster 1100 Evo Anniversary from someone off of the forum (goalc). Had a 996s up until a couple of years ago, changed it for a CBR1000RR, and regretted it ever since. Always fancied a Monster and thought it might suit my aging body a bit more than a sports bike! It has been an absolute revelation - plenty of low down power, handles like it's on rails and you can have loads of fun at speeds that won't get you banned.
This forum seems like a friendly place with plenty of people who know what they're on about - it would be nice to meet up with some like minded Ducati fans.
Cheers
Richard

Hello, neighbour, and welcome.
Keep an eye out for my blue 750 on your local travels.
Also, there are a couple of runs scheduled for this weekend which I will be attending (subject to my wheel being back from Dymag in time).
These are the Cassington Italian Bike Day on sat 11th and Mr Gazza's Vicars Tea Party on sun 12th.
Feel free to join us.
