Hello from Hypermonkey

Hi there, I'm Simon and have just purchased a lovely Monster 600 Dark (2000) which I will be collecting on Saturday. It has 10k on the clocks, rear hugger, belly pan, tail tidy and small indicators, Venom pipes that have removable baffles (and the standard 'zorst) carbon bars and I think it looks gorgeous. The previous owner is an AA mechanic and biker/engine builder who is going to do a full belts service for me and show me how to service the bike and even check the valve clearances...result




I've been away from bikes for 8 years and due to a change in circumstances (taking employer to court...ongoing) and have had to take a job where parking is permit only and to get one someone has to leave or die...so a bike was the logical answer.

I've looked at Bandit/Hornets which would do the job great, but as I've had to sell my track car to get through which means no track days except to do the pics, I wanted something different but reliable...so the Monster was bought.

I'll be doing 20 miles a day commute and some weekend hooning so will have to keep on top of the preventative stuff...but I'm sure this site will help out with any info needed.

Well I'm waffling...so I'll leave you with some pics of the bike and some of my lovely Mk1 Golf track car doing what it did best...and some footage of the last track day we did in September before I had to sell him






And the MK1....the 'Rollerskate'

Session 4 has me showing an F430 Spyder a clean set of rear 888s...and I like to think he was trying
