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 .
here she be....
