Title: Number 5 Alive
Post by: JonnyCinco on December 31, 2009, 05:54:51 AM
Hello, G'day, Merry New Year...

Another forum to add to the list of forums....Anyways, missus likes the monster 696 and have a few questions.  I have been lurking throughout these wide intarwebs and figure the best place to get info is from those who live/breath Monster.

Personally, I have a 2007 Speed Triple (don't be jealous :P) and a 2007 R6 for the track.  Been sooked into trackdays now for 2 years.  Mainly ride with NESBA, but enjoy any org that invokes the culture.  Have been thinking about WERA/CCS next season....but who knows.  I have been riding for 9 years.  First bike was a 96 FZR 600.  The missus has been riding for 5 year, but a hiatus in Florida left her bikeless for 3 of those years.  Her first and only motorbike was a Ninja Doh-Fiddy.  She is interested in getting back in the addiction and enjoys the look of the naked-ness.  Plus, my Speedie is getting lonely in the garage while i am at the track. 

Currently live in Richmond, VA.  Ride safe and see you out there

Welcome to the DMF, happy new year! [beer]

I'm sure your wife must be excited about the prospect of a new bike. ;D 
Hopefully you'll get all your questions answered here. [thumbsup]

I think your closest local group is CAM (Capitol Area Monsters) (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=20.0), you might want to also stop in and introduce yourself there.
And if your wife is interested in signing up too, we have a Women's Forum (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0). :)

BTW, plenty of Triumph fans here too, hope you both get back out on the roads soon, looking forward to updates. [moto]

if/when we end up taking the plunge, she will probably join....though she isn't as much of a forum....errrr....fanatic as myself.


I think that anyone who appreciates a Duc, also respects the Triumph and vice versa.  Kinda like a ban of brothers/sisters against the Big 4

If you're in Richmond, look up the 821 Cafe. It's owned an operated my a board member, and they don't mind if you park your bike on the sidewalk [thumbsup] out front.

The bulk of the CAM gang is around DC - but there's some Richmonders and some folks out 64 on the coast.

Gotta love the Triumphs... I really want a chance to go spank a Daytona

will check that out..THANKS! [thumbsup]


though, I am pretty sure they don't have too much of a say of who parks on the sideway....more like RPD writing tickets and making more income for the city [leo]

Hey JonnyCinco,
Welcome, I live in Richmond also. I ride with a strange group of guys and one has a real nice speed triple. And the others ride a Buell Lightning and YZF1000. I have a M900 and we ride all year. I been trying to get some others that live round here to meet up and ride but no luck so far ha .
