Potential Monster owner
Evening, all.
I've had a mix of bikes over the years (Bandit, ZZR, 1100GS x2, ZX7R) and have the opportunity to buy a new bike, and always loved Monsters. Recently test rode an 1100 Evo, which was fantastic (review here) but am also looking at some other bikes next week (Triumph Speed Trip and maybe a BMW). Currently own a 1999 BMW 1100GS which is about to be cleaned and serviced within an inch of it's hard-ridden life. If I buy an Evo, I shall be around here quite a lot, posting many, many photos and generally taking the ****. If I don't, I'll be buggering off to a Triumph or BMW forum |

An evo will sure look better than the GS, can't vouch for the backdrop though. Hope you've got a garage round the back...

Coolio. Where abouts?
It gets enough stick, but the typical Essex is mostly in the South. Basildon, Romford etc etc. Essex countryside is lovely in my experience, especially the middle/Northern bit. Close enough to London to pop down and have a blast round (used to live there), but also five minutes ride and you're in the middle of rolling countryside on some pretty awesome roads. |

No problem matey
I don't often go out with other riders, and don't often ride over the weekends as most of the riders I come across are what I would call '****ers'. Screaming through villages, stupid overtakes, tailgating etc etc. Call me a grouchy old man (I'm 27 and a BMW owner...) but I tend to ride alone Would be nice to attend a meet, though. Did I see an Italian night at the Ace mentioned somewhere? |
