Great Linda. So now that you have a 'spare' Monster then you wont mind some of us practicing those stunts that were posted on here recently with that Froggy Frenchman. We could use your really old 2003 model.
Name the time and place.
Cheers

(and when a girl's got a birthday coming up in the very near future, she has to give the husband plenty of choices as to what to buy her, doesn't she?)

I have jokingly told the Pillion that on the day she becomes the MRS instaed of pillion we are going to be registering at a bike shop! (She agreed until she realised I had been joking.)

By the time I'd done all the paperwork and they got the bike ready ( a couple of minor glitches, but nothing that couldn't be fixed) it was 5.30pm and dark, so I just took a slight detour straight home. Hence have only done 10km, but it feels great - slightly taller than the 800, more low down torque, a bit the same but different. I think I'll be moving to a 14 tooth front sprocket on this one too (from a 15) - the gearing seems too tall.

Hopefully the weather may clear a bit for the weekend and I may get to clock up a few more kms!

Thanks for all your wishes everyone - I am absolutely rapt with having two Ducs. I know it's rampant consumerism, but shit, a girl's got to spend her hubby's money on something now doesn't she :sneaky2:

How do you ride one of those ?

On second thought's I'm not sure I want to know.

**Mooch** · 19th June 2004, 15:38

Very nice bike ! .You must have been taking to Wayne with the 14 tooth front , his fav upgrade. Best you put that corse catalog aside for a while. Two duc's and corse parts might push hubby too far .

**Sensei** · 19th June 2004, 15:52

Kool I loved my Ducati to . Please say you have got open pipe's on it as it has to sound like a Ducati . Nothing better sounding than a Duke full out or off throttle from rev's yummy I miss my Baby owell At least I can say Iv owned one . Enjoy Sensei

**Hitcher** · 19th June 2004, 16:58

Well done Lynda

I guess it's all wet now? A bit gusty to go over the 'takas today?

But, more importantly, what colour is it??

Hey good one Lynda, I like your style Girl !!

Have to bring it up here sometime.
My Ducati is Off the road :disapint: needs Oil, Filters all round and I broke a bloody thread for a small bolt on the fairing so have to fix it all up.
Should be fun though, I mean the weather is crap so something to do huh.
anyway enjoy your new Bike.

**dreamride** · 19th June 2004, 17:33

That is totally cool girl! Talk about being "envious". Congrats

on the new buy...one day, if I live to it, I might feel th same if I can afford my dreamride..

**NordieBoy** · 19th June 2004, 17:59

I know the feeling

You've got one nice bike so two must be twice as good.

One stock-standard Nordwest and one... not so stock
