Cool Another Newbie will it ever end

Hi to you all.
Thanks to whoever left a uk monster club card tucked in my fuel cap on my new 696!
I had only been parked up at work in Bury for an hour.
You guys move quick!
Just hit 200 miles,after 20 years off a bike.
Had the short tail fitted from new,vastly improves the rear end; pity not fitted as standard.
Ordered my Termi's to be fitted on first service.
only one small problem, my wife's arms are too short to reach the grab handles; does anyone have any ideas?

I'll ask Don at work if he can slip in an arm extension op, just break and stretch while healing... No greater love etc LOL

Get some Love Handles, or those new thingy's that stick on the tank. I've never been able to reach the handles or the tank on tother halfs bike so we have an arrangement, he keeps his bits if he doesn't throw me off the back and I've now got my own bike so it's accademic most of the time.

Excellent, another northern monster owner! Often up in Bury as that's where my other half is from, will keep an eye out for you!
