Title: Escapee from NYC
Post by: dti on May 29, 2008, 12:45:45 PM
Hey all,

My name is Adam and I moved back to the Greater SF Bay Area a few months ago, just heard about this board last week dropping my bike off at Munroe for a chain. Apparently I missed the old incarnation and its sad destruction, but showed up in time for this version, which looks and feels fine.

The bike is a '96 M900, the first and only vehicle I ever bought new. I cut my teeth on old Brit iron back in the '80's but fell instantly and hopelessly for the Monster upon first seeing it on the showroom floor...

I tattoo people for a living, and half the reason I moved back to the bay area was for its great collection of fine tattoo shops and the best tattoo clients I have ever run into. The other half of the reason is the weather, never too hot (or too cold, tho I used to ride in the snow in NYC) to ride. And roads you had to go a lot farther to find back east...

Welcome.

The 96 M900 is the best Monster ever.   ;D

Congrats on your "escape" & welcome home!

I lived in NYC for 3 years, and loved every minute of it, but wanted to stop the Uhaul & kiss the ground after crossing the GW coming back home...

Any carbie 900 is a ton of fun, but you guys have cooler lettering than I do.   :'(
