Welcome fae another Perthshire monster owner!
Lots of good information and advice on here.
For more local Ducati stuff look at Ducati up North (DuN) and within this the Scottish Ducati club.
Anything else let me know.
Enjoy your monster!

Woohoo!
Thanks jdp683 : )
Jocks on Monsters what could possibly go wrong lol

Hi Alex I've posted about your MOT on the other post you have.
I'm in Luncarty.
There's quite a few Ducati owners in the Perth area and looking to get out when the weathers better!
Cheers John

Nice one,
It took me 46 years to get round to buying an M900 Ducati, mines a 2002 . Had it almost a year,nicest bike I have ridden.
You will love it.
I'm the others side of the mountains in Moray.

Hi Lee, well my first 20 miles on a monster didnt fill me with joy! Mind you it was freezin and only to the mot station but the mirrors folded in at 60 odd mph! It didnt matter much cos you cannae see anything in them anyway lol
Its +2.5 here in Perth just now!

Hello and welcome too. Look out for my wheelie case with the UKMoC stickers on it next time in your bothy. I'm based in Inverness and you'll probably know me by sight already...

Hi Boris, weve spoken before actually, in Perth bothy
Thanks for the welcome : )

Hi Alex.
I know what you mean about chilly rides,probably not the best time of year to get used to your monster. I took mine out on Sunday for 30 odd miles,hadn't ridden it in a couple of weeks and just couldn't resist riding it ,roads weren't too crapped up and I managed to splatter a couple of flies on the headlight,but that was 8 deg C,it's 0 at the moment . Common sense, tells me to keep it safe from the salt and crap,just got to develop some.
In my opinion ,there is nothing better than a warm dry morning and the prospect of a ride over the Lecht and Glenshee on my monster,I'm sure you will feel the same when the roads dry and the temperature warms up.
