Old member (very!)-new (to me) Monster

15-04-2013, 01:09 PM

Have been a member on here forever-but I have finally bought myself a 900 monster-which is what I originally wanted in 1996 when I bought my first Ducati-bought a 900SS instead, then a 996, ST4S, 1078SS, 1200 Multistrada S, and now finally a 900Sie Monster in black-it's only taken me 17 years................
I pick it up on Wednesday and am really looking forward to it-back to the simplicity of an air cooled engine.

Welcome Monty!

Your story is similar to mine, except yours started 2 years earlier, and involved several more Ducatis.. some rather nice ones in that list (and one horrible one

).

Nice looking Monster, and in the best colour too.

That'll be coming off Yorkie old mate-it has a set of high level Ti Termi's with it. The current owner was going to sell them seperately-I convinced him to let me have them with the bike. The 'interesting' exhaust will be going on sale...................

Don't know which one you would consider nasty Black Bob-I have loved all of them-all different, and all great in their own way.

Didn't mention that one Slob as since it is a bevel it's not really relevant on here-but yes I still have my 450RT-I won't ever be parting with that one. I also didn't mention the Gilera Nuovo Saturno which I still have, the BSA BB34 Competition I am rebuilding, the 1953 Gilera Saturno I sold about 5 years ago, the Ducati 250GT and 2 x BSA ZB32 Competitions I also sold, or the GasGas Pampera I currently have for sale...........hmmm, too many bikes really.

Very wise to buy one with the training wheels on for your first Monster Monty
