New owner East Mids

alxg · 28-11-2021, 10:20 AM

Hi all,

I have just taken delivery of my first Ducati, a 2018 M1200, and I’m really looking forward to getting out on it, and discovering Monster life!

I’m also looking forward to seeing any fellow members out and about, so be sure to give a nod.

Welcome aboard Alex, good choice btw. You have a couple of months to “fettle” until decent weather returns…….

Welcome along.
I'm just down the road in Leicester.
Hope to meet up sometime, when the weather improves.

Welcome along Alex, there are a few of us E.Midlanders on here but we don't really have an organised group meet outside of the forum for ride-outs etc. atm, maybe that will change if enough of us can get together? But there is still plenty of collective knowledge of most things Monster willing to share on here

Welcome - I used to work in Ashby-de-la-Zouch before moving all the way down here

Bitza · 09-12-2021, 07:29 PM

Welcome mate, maybe I'll see you about sometime if you come to enjoy the Peaks on your new toy. Mind you judging from these posts I must be the only person around here relying on just 2vs.
If somebody fancies organising something around the Midlands I guess I'd be up for it. Bitza

Well done . The Forum is very helpful

alxg · 19-12-2021, 08:51 PM

Thanks for the welcome, and I’m up for group meets if that is something we can stitch together. As long as you don’t expect me to be fast

Funny how so many people I meet either know Ashby, or has lived/worked here/has friends here at some point!
