New to Ducati, fairly new to biking!

Hi all, from South Herefordshire, thanks for letting me in.
Finally got my full licence after 18 months pootling around on an Aprilia 125 and after a lot of indecision between Triumph and Ducati, I went for a Monster 821 2018 model (in yellow - gorgeous colour IMO). Italian style won the day.
Have done a couple of hundred miles so far, absolutely brilliant ride and the sound!

Very happy so far and really pleased to find an owner's club out there. Hope I'll get the chance to meet some other owners soon.

Welcome to the forum Mike, great choice of bike btw

it just so happens that you have a great opportunity to meet many like minded souls at the 2020 weekender event, an annual gathering which is at Rossett this time, click on the poster on the home page for details.

Hope to meet you and the monster soon, Chris and adie have yellow ones so you are in good company!
