Monster 750 in Bahrain

30-03-2007, 09:20 AM

Just acquired a 1998 Monster 750 in Bahrain, my 2nd Ducati, I have a 900SS in the UK. but was suffering withdrawal symptoms here. Went out for the first ride this morning, great ride until it got stuck in first gear for a while (hooked up with the side stand), got it freed off eventually. Then the rear brake caliper fell off, rode home with only the front. Found one of the threaded holes in the caliper bracket stripped, ah, the joys of Ducati ownership. Off to the shops now for a helicoil kit! Love the tank artwork, I think that's what persuaded me to buy it!
