Greetings from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Really intrigued by the Ducati Monster line-up - desperately, obsessively had to have one about six months ago. Unfortunately a test ride revealed that it wasn't to be - I think my legs and arms are about 6" too long. :( Sunk in gloom.
Ended up with an Italian cousin - a Guzzi V11 Sport - still a little tight but bearable.
So I hope you don't mind me lurking around your site - I promise I'll be good. Just because I can't have one doesn't mean I can't love 'em!
Oops - just read the instructions......
Name: Mike
Location: St. Catharines, ON
Bike(s) (if any): 2000 Guzzi V11 Sport

Anything else you'd like to share: My mortgage and car payments...any takers?
Welcome Mike, good luck with the mortgage thing. ;D
Hope you are enjoying your Guzzi, all riders and friends welcome. [thumbsup] My husband has the same issue with the Monsters. ;)
We love bike pictures, so if you have any to share, please feel free (see photo posting FAQ (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=109.0)).
Oh, and you might want to check in with your local board, DOCTOR (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=37.0), although they don't seem to be all that active.
