Hi all,
I've had the pleasure of meeting CJ as I'm the one who bought his bike. The thing was really loved and I'll do my best to take as good of care of her as he did. I'm new on this board but lurked a bit as I was researching the monsters. Biggest thing I've ridden before this was a 250 so its def a jump in power. I hope to get to know some of you as I progress on the bike!
Congrats on buying CJ's M695. It is a great bike.
Hope to see you out on a ride or track day!
Welcome Smoke! you got yourself a great ride and have joined a great bunch of people. Life is good [thumbsup]
Greetings and salutations to you Smokeater and welcome to DFWM. Glad to see you got CJ's bike. I've eaten lots of smoke from that bike as it was hard to catch up to CJ when he was on that bike. :-\ Plus the fact that he's just a damn good rider might have something to say. Got yourself one sweet ride man. Hope to meet up soon with you. [thumbsup]
Howdy and welcome. You did indeed end up with a winner motorcycle wise. I know CJ took very good care of his Duc so I'm sure you'll be in for many more miles of smiles (O.K. evil smirk in CJ's case [laugh] ).
Gotta luv the sound of those air-cooled twins [evil]
Looking forward to meeting you.
Lisa

Dude, you SO scored [thumbsup] IMHO, that's one of the nicer Monster's around these here parts ;D
Looking forward to meeting & riding [beer] [moto]
Hey, man, glad you made it [thumbsup]
Great group here, and now that the weather is improving, there will be plenty of opportunities to join some meets and rides. [moto]
Umm, BTW...now that you're here, I guess I need to remove your bike from my Avie. ;D
Speaking of meets and rides ;D bump for the Amsterdam Bar Bike Night tonight. [beer]
welcome to the group; you found a nice bike for sure. though george will bust your ass in two if you ever hurt that bike....for real (did you see his guns??)
he did tell you about having to shave your palms to ride it properly, right? and posing on it naked for a private charity photoshoot?
Welcome to the board!! Great group here- they helped me out quite a bit on the old board when I first bought our 695. Damn CJ....you stole my customer! LOL. I'm glad you still went with a Duc Justyn....enjoy the ride.
Thanks for the welcome guys. I just been sticking around town trying to learn the ropes. Slow and steady. I don't get why people say you can grow out of these monsters too fast. It seems to be PLENTY enough power to get you in trouble. So far so good, low speed turns are still tricky though. Anyways look forward to seeing you guys on the road someday.
what part of the DFW are do you live in? My woman is learning to ride as well and it's always nice to have company. she keeps complaining I go to fast but try and catch her on the tollway.......yeah right.
too bad you couldn't wait another 3 weeks to buy it. j/k
This way he wouldnt have to bring the busa!
welcome.

I just moved to Allen. But yea I'd def be down to go for a nice easy ride with you guys! Let me know!
we are in Frisco. we are adding some serious numbers in Southern Oklahoma!
I'll send you a PM with our info.
hey smokeater. Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I just bought my monster a few months ago and it is definately a big jump in power compared to the little dirt bike I rode on. I thought I was tearin it up on my little bike jumping little hills. After getting on the monster, I realize I was just putzing around in the dirt. I'm still getting used to mine as well. I don't get to ride as much as I want.
Welcome to the board.

Oops, keep forgetting about those... :P
I also have a second extra rear tire Smokeater. [thumbsup] (went from LYD, to McKraut, to me...)
Ha no I didn't hear about the tires....Tell me more..haha.

I completely forgot that I've got used front and rear tires for ya (no laughing, you too will be old one day ;)). They've been over at RichD's since before the Fall HC trip when we swapped them out for some new rubber. We can work something out to get those to you--that is, after I pay him the storage fee.... [laugh]
I also have another used rear tire that came off of LYD's 750. I found that one in the shed when I did some lawnmower maintenance this past weekend. All three are yours. [thumbsup]
Heck, I'll probably keep finding various parts to the 695 for another year.
The bike that keeps on giving. I'm liking the perks this thing gives haha. How's the Busa treating you Junkee?

Damn, I wish I knew you had that tire george, I would have told you to bring it. Mindy could use a new rear tire on hers!!

Maybe Smokeater will settle for just one extra rear tire.... ;D
Anyway, will it fit the 900? It's a 160/60, I think.
the 900 is a 170/60.
Whatever happened with this guy? Did we smell bad?
he had the bike on craigslist and cut and pasted the exact add CJ had....almost exactly.
