After talking for hours with Ped earlier, I decided to dig deeper into my Monster's past and examined the date stamps on the plastics and the dates on the build ticket. Mine was first sold as new at Aye Gee in Welling Kent via Importer Three Cross. The first owner was an Alex McLeod (of the clan McLeod..?) of Fulham, then a storage company in SW London had it as a company bike, then a chap in Southampton, then the bloke in Fordingbridge I bought it off at 11k miles on 6.9.2001. Needless to say, most of the stamps in the book are in my name, the most recent being at 38k miles and that's the back cover when I gave up paying for servicing.
I found the build ticket- like a small receipt- years ago stashed somewhere within my bike.
Any '93 ers out there care to add in this format??
