Hi all, just got my first Ducati, very excited! It's a yellow 1997 600 Monster, needs a few things fixed to be ready for long rides but a few short rides so far and I love it. Hope to see some of you out on the roads soon.

Nice little one to start off with, not fast but can be quick enough
Don't forget the rule with monsters is whatever you have it's GOT to be modded..

Hello and welcome Jim.
I bet the 600 looks good in Yellow? Try and post some pictures please.

Sounds to me like there are enough folks in the south Bristol area to have a get together now and then? Who's going to suggest a venue?..

I am south of Bristol on the Somerset Levels which is a nice ride over the Mendips and trough the Gorge. There is a nice cafe with large car park out at Westhay, Sweets Tea rooms. One dry Saturday or Sunday would be great.

I'm in Warminster and often ride over The Mendips. Been to Weston Bike Night a couple of times too.
Got to get mine serviced before I come out to play though!
