Hello

Hello all

Thought I'd pop in and say hello. I've just taken delivery of a Monster 750 at the weekend despite not actually having a licence to ride yet

My test's in about 4 weeks which means that I have to now sit and stare at the flippin' thing in the garage. What can I say, it was an impulse buy!

Feel free to tell me that I've bought the wrong bike for a newbie rider

Thanks for the welcome, lads

It's nice to know I haven't bitten off more than I can chew

I've already had learned friends telling me that I should've bought a Jap bike instead of a Ducati but hey, I always did prefer pasta to rice

everyone was telling me to get a jap bike instead of the ducati. saying stuff like oh you`l end up taking it to the shop more times than you will ride it i just thought screw you. the world would be a sad place if everyone had gsxr`s or r1`s. i wanted a ducati because not many people have got them, they`re reserved for the elite
They have character and soul and they sound like no other bike out there.

OH! i nearly forgot and the girls like them also,its true lol. I was in a bar one day and was chatting to this group of gals when i asked one if they liked bikes and one gal said dont even talk to us unless you have a ducati, well i just laughed and when i said i had one they wouldnt believe me lol

You've bought a beauty I'm sure. Welcome to the club and good luck with your test.
If it's in 4 weeks that gives you plenty of time to polish it to within a inch of its life.

Thanks everyone

To be honest, J.P, the bike is absolutely spotless as it is. It doesn't even look like it's been on the road

Then that's just wrong to have wrapped it up and not used it !
I hope you stick some good miles on the clock.

I was looking to bid on this one, in the end I bought M800sie from Ducati Leeds. Nice bike btw, I'm sure you'll love it when you pass you test.
