old member, new monster (sounds a bit weird!)

well finally got another.
paid a bit more than i probably should have done but....
am now the proud owner of another ducati monster. however this one is everything ive ever wanted from one.
super rare 1000cc DS engine
senna colours
's' version with fully adjustable suspension. she is a beaut.
I introduce you to 'Eleanor'.

must keep this one shiny side up.

massive thanks to jeff (utopia) for all his help and advice. must pop over and get you a beer.

look forward to being a more active member of the club again

Like so many things it's to allow you to easily change it and make it look loads better. I see it's already had the tail tab removed and properly finished

Ha ha thanks yeah i always thought it was a cliche but will definitely treat every other road user as someone out to kill me. Senna is my fave colour combo too. I know its not classic ducati colours but think it looks sooooo good. And yes dirty as frowned on as it is a big selling point for it was that the previous had done pretty much everything i would do inc. tail chop :O

Wow....How cool....Just noticed it has a centre stand..

I expect you would want to keep such a sensible and practical mod....And so you should.
But if you don't.....Remember me........Been looking for one that fits a Monster properly for ages.
