Hi, new Monster owner

08-03-2021, 04:59 AM

Hi, having recently acquired a Monster I thought I'd join the Monster Owners Club forum, thanks for letting me in.

My Monster is a 821 Stripe which was only registered in February 2020 and only completed 195 miles when it arrived with me. Absolutely loving the bike, so agile and the sound is intoxicating

My other bikes are a 2007 Triumph Bonneville and a 2008 Triumph Street Triple

Welcome to the forum Scrappy.

Welcome on board Scrappy.

I see you are partial to MVs too: another fine Italian marque.

Welcome along.
From Kettering, I see.
Not far down the road from me in Leicester.
Maybe our paths will cross once the world gets back to more like normal.

You've probably seen this but I can't resist posting it anyway ....

Welcome. Nice speed trip! {Edit} Street trip even

Darren69 · 08-03-2021, 01:22 PM

Do they all come with those ugly reflectors on the fork legs now, or is it US spec?

Welcome!

If I were you, get a curly lead from your disc lock to your front brake lever pronto before you witness a horrible and expensive domino scenario.

Thanks. MV do make some beautiful bikes, but out of my budget at the moment, the garage signage is an aspiration

There are some good roads between Leicester and Kettering

Yes all bikes have the reflectors now (usually easily removed), it may be an EU thing?

I have a reminder cable, and yes I should use it

How do you find it to ride next to the streety.

I’ve got a streety RS along side my 1100 evo…very very different animals.
