Hello everyone,
Barry Ream
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
2009 Monster 696
I was looking for a cheap new bike to ride to work (was originally thinking DRZ400sm) when I saw the 09 monster I thought It looked like it would be enough fun to be worth the extra investment. I think I was right. I have been riding and racing motocross since 2001 but 09 was my first year on concrete. Loving it. :)
Welcome Barry, congrats on your 696! [thumbsup]
Glad to hear you are loving it. We love bike pictures, so please feel free to share if you have any. ;D
You might also want to stop by and introduce yourself on your local board, DRIowa (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=44.0), although it looks like it doesn't get much traffic.
Have fun! [moto]
