Hi Folks
Just bought my first Monster, a new red 797 from Ducati Coventry. Hubby used to be a member of UKMOC, MilesB. Long story, but I was recently knocked off my beloved 2001 zx6r by an uninsured scoooter rider. Wrote off bike and broke my arm. Bought the monster as a replacement as I always fancied the one Miles had. Hope to meet you guys sometime. We knew Slob, AlanC and Albie from when Miles was with the group. Sue xx |

And hello again from me... imagine my surprise that my old login still worked!
Still on an Italian V-twin, but one with a shaft drive (Yay, no chain maintenance)... my V7 Classic has become a cafe racer, and is much better for it, scarily now being not dissimilar to my old M900ie. Soon to be spotted gamely chasing Mrs B on her new Monster. |

Hi Miles, Italian bikes do get under your skin!

Hello and welcome.
I had a 2001 ZX-6R for a while. Comfy, smooth gearbox, sounded nice (with a can). I even tracked it once, and although it was a little bit 'soft' for that it was a lot of fun. I sold it to a mate and he still uses it as his commuter, so I still get to see it from time to time. Great bike. |

Welcome to the forum Sue, glad a broken arm didn't stop you from wanting another bike.
