I'm back!

steeevvvooo · 05-07-2019, 06:47 PM

After almost four years away in the US I'm back! What have I missed? Someone mentioned "Brexit"? Anyone care to explain

Apart from that I am aware of the sad news regarding Slob jumping off his bike and even sadder news about Buzzbomb.

Anyway, not only am I physically back in blighty but also spiritually back in UKMOC as this arrived today...

The 749R may be up for sale soon if anyone is after one?

Welcome home! (Please don't mention the 'B' word though!)

Always nice to have another Evo owner on board and that one looks great in the Corse bodywork. Any other mods planned?

steeevvvooo · 05-07-2019, 07:15 PM

Thankyou. No further mods planned. Maybe clipons if I get in shape (maybe next summer...). I like it as is and also have both red bodywork as well as a Pantah kit so can change it up if the mood takes me

You've got as many body panel as I have, Steve! I like the Pantah scheme but don't think I've seen it with a red frame. I should think the red flash on the tank would co-ordinate nicely with the red frame. D'you have any pictures of the bike in Pantah guise?

steeevvvooo · 05-07-2019, 08:21 PM

I don't sorry as the kit just came in a box and I it have photos on it with corse. I'm not sure whether it will be too much with a red frame though? Regardless, I always loved the corse scheme so that is staying for now

Welcome back and congratulations on a fine looking new Monster.

Didn't Alan buy your 1100 before you went away? If he did, it doesn't seem like four years ago.

Thanks Gazza. That's right, Alan bought it and wouldn't sell it back to me so I had to look elsewhere

Summer 2015... How time flies!!

Thanks, Steve. I really like that Pantah look

Welcome back and congrats on the new bike/s.

It’s like you never been away....

What’s your name again?

Enjoy the bike mate

4 years? Doesn't seem like 5 minutes! Glad you're back and back on a Monster. If you have a spare Monster Art body kit you'll just have to buy another 796 to put it on ... nothing wrong with having 2 of the same Monster model ...

Bike looks great.
