Hello Folks,

My names Mat. I'm from Dundee and I have a Monster 1100EVO

I started riding about 5 years ago, in that time I've had a Honda cbr 125, hornet 600, cb100r, BMW F800R (Pfeiffer rep) and then moved on to the Monster.

It may look like I've had a bike for every year, but not quite, the 125 didnt last a year. The hornet went to bike heaven, the cb100r wasnt for me so didnt last a year. The BMW however lasted two years and went round Europe.

Get married soon, so it was time to get the bike I'm gonna have for a while. Took out a street triple for a test but the Monster won.

Had it 2 months and done 2000 miles. Although last weekend I decided that I wasnt leaning enough into corners and lent so far that it went for a slide

Damage superficial, parts on their way, will be on the road again soon

Welcome aboard m8, having jointed here recently I can vouch for the chaps and chapesses being a bloody good bunch. If you need spares Funcatronic appears to have that corner marked so have a look

Hi Baggabones, glad you're enjoying the new bike and sorry to hear about your wee slide. Also from the North East, Aberdeen originally. If you get a chance you should go on to Ducati up North. The Midgie Masher is worth going to around August time. Lovely setting at the Spittal o' Glenshee

Im sure I must of seen you going around at some point. I've only seen one or two other monsters. And one of them is ridden by a gent with one leg.

That's not me, my bike is a non original white, with a green, white and red ala Italian flag belly pan.

Welcome to the club Baggabones and that's a nice little selection of bikes you've had and luckily not too much damage on the monster. Be careful out there.
