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. 30 years motorcross? and never a streetbike. wow. that's a long time to avoid and itch.
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?
