New Memeber from Southampton

21-01-2011, 04:52 PM

After various bikes chosen with my head over my heart I have just become the owner of a '95 900m. She is mechanical sound, MOT'd and taxed but she does need a little care and attention cosmetically. I am hoping to get some hints and tips from the forum and hopefully learn a bit more about Monsters than I do now. The plan is to continue to ride her from now until next winter but do as many of the bits I can without taking her off the road. As I said she is not looking her best so as I need to add some paint and powder coating I intend to make her a little individual along the way. Please excuse any daft questions I am pretty sure I will ask going forward

Thanks for the great welcome. Not sure I can make the 6th as I have family visiting that weekend but I will keep an eye on any other dates. My Monster is currently black with the gold frame and silver wheels but as I said all of these need repainting. With this in mind the temptation is to stick with the black tank, panels etc and maybe go black with the wheels and red with the trellis...... that said there are so many nice variations out there I need to look a little more before I decide....

Apart from the more hard core Hants types who have yet to drive to a brekkie meet this winter........

Hiya! Welcome aboard, you'll find the club members very helpful and The Hampsters are a fine lot, if I may say so (ahem, being a fairly recent newcomer myself...)

Hopefully we'll see you soon.
