Title: New to the forum from DC
Post by: The Mad King Pepe' on April 02, 2010, 08:31:18 AM
Hi all, recently rediscovered this forum and realized I had never introduced myself properly.

I currently ride a Monster 750 and a 748 (both 2001). I got both last year when I traded a Triumph for the Monster and a friend of mine laid down the 748 in a parking lot.

I had always coveted the 748 so I just *had* to make sure it was properly taken care of  ;D She's doing fine now, next step for her is a paint job and then we'll see... either track bike or I might have to put her up for sale, my wrists seem to be unable to manage.

The Monster is now my daily commuter, rain or shine. The previous owner did a tail chop on her, which looked great but caused issues when riding on wet roads. My whole back, up to my helmet, would get sprayed! So I fabricated a little metal bracket and put the license plate from a 748 on.

I'm occasionally active on two local forums: dcsporbikes.net and .com. But I'm glad to see there's a place dedicated to my favorite bikes!

Welcome to the DMF! :)

Nice bikes both, we'd love to see pictures if you have any. ;D

There's a thread in Accessories & Mods called "Wet Bum Mod", I'm sure you'd appreciate it. [cheeky]

When you get a chance, also stop in and introduce yourself to your local group, CAM (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=20.0).

have fun! [moto]

Welcome to our little community MrEnke.

We really are a diverse mix of folks here from allover the World, although we do get rowdy from time to time.

Hang in there and you will find this Forum well worth you time.
