Title: Just put a deposit on a Monster 696 :)
Post by: loopsrider on January 18, 2010, 05:44:37 PM
Hey all,

Just put a deposit on a matte black 2010 Monster 696 and am taking deliver of my new wheels next week  ;D

I'm located in British Columbia, Canada and have zero experience in street riding but have had 30+ years riding motocross bikes. One reason I chose the 696 is that I hear it's a pretty good entry level bike, and if things go well it will be a good bike to hand down to the girlfriend when I upgrade.



Anyway, looking forward to cruising the forums and gaining some knowledge from more experienced riders/owners.

Welcome and congrats on your 696. [thumbsup]

I know there's a few other members from BC around, hopefully you'll find someone to ride with.

I think you'll have fun on the Duc.  Have fun, ride safe. :)

Welcome to the club! There are a few of us here that happen to live in BC. I'm in the Vancouver area, where are you located?
