Just picked up my....

S4 Foggy Monster No. 122

I'm Paul Ellison based in Huddesfield half the time and Rochdale the other half.
I started by buying a Ducati 600ss before passing my test, then after falling off it 3 times upgraded to a 900ss.
Loving Ducati's but hating sore wrists, I decided to buy a Monster...

Picked it up Saturday, felt great as soon as I sat onboard.
Clocked up 70 miles or so in the cold and wind, head nearly blew off and I've now got a groin strain from the wind blowing my legs apart whilst riding !!
I'll have to get used to that after years of fairings !!

What a Bike !!
See you around

Paul.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
The bike is a beauty, saw it at the Classic Bike show at Stafford this year on our stand - DOCGB. I help run the Manchester Branch with Martyn Edwards, not sure if you know him or not. It was up for sale, one of 10 in the UK apparantly, bought it there and then.
I will post some pics the next time I get it out of the garage...
