FIN-Monster says hello!

19-01-2013, 07:10 PM

Hey all!
First of all thanks for having me at the UK monster forums.
I'm 28 years old guy from Finland and I got my first ever bike last September, I thought to start easy so I got myself a M900Sie

I'm glad that I found an active Ducati forum, that is not mainly based on US, cause shipping of used parts is much cheaper from UK

Also I'm very interested in learning as much as possible about my bike, and I believe here I can find a lot of interesting information.
At the moment in Finland we have about -20C and lots of snow, so I'm just waiting it to get better, so I could get enjoying my Monster.

Yes welcome, your location made me smile as a few years ago I had a wobble around Norway Sweden and Finland on a 600 fazer! Went over to Finland to lay flowers on the grave of a hero of mine Jarno Saarinen. Google him as you may be to young to know him.
Anyhow enjoy the forum I'm sure you will, and it will soon be Spring.

Regards Marsh

Aimo - welcome from another non-UK member......can I ask you about what your choice of clothing is for the bike ? I think I will need to get proper waterproof(goretex type) textiles soon. I am looking at Halvarssons , Rukka and Hein-Gericke but would love to know what works in Finland ?

Huomenta, ja tervetuloa lumisesta plus/miinus nolla-asteisesta Lontoosta. Monsteri nukkuu talviunta, skootteri on lepaamassa ja itse teen duunia kotoa kasin, Lontoohan menee kiinni heti kun tulee yksikin lumihiutale.
