I'm new here. After about 30 years off bikes I just bought my first (only?) monster and have ridden it a little over 150 miles so far ... I'm currently on a 60-day permit and so far I'm loving the ride! I was on the old board but never posted until April, when I finally started seriously shopping. I'm in Connecticut, it's a 2008 695 in matte black and so far it's completely stock. I got a Scorpion helmet because it fit and gave me the affordable protection I need. Other gear will follow as money allows. I'm looking forward to a trip to Maine to visit family ... as soon as I can buy the rest of my protection, that is. Meanwhile I enjoy a nice 16 mile backroad trip to work every day it isn't raining.
Welcome to the madhouse! ;D
This is the place to be... welcome
Welcome and good luck buying your gear! Definitely takes precedence over mods. If you have questions about anything please feel free to ask. :)
