Title: NEWBIE from iceland
Post by: Ducati2Hottie on January 23, 2011, 08:16:06 AM
Im not really from Iceland but i might as well be. Its been 0 degrees or less for the past month here in Minnesota.
Anyways i thought maybe i was getting neglected because i have not formally introduced myself. My NAme is Ryan i bought my 2005 Monster 620 dark used last year with only 2100 miles on it! Im currently on the process of grinding and cutting away all the clips, and brackets off the rear end. Im also waiting for a lot off parts to get back from powder coating. I also own a 1972 Classic Honda CB350 that i basically rebuilt from scratch. Heres a few pics of my projects. I dont really have an updated pictures of the bike but here are some teasers.

Hi Ryan, welcome.

I was just about to make some smart ass comment about 0 degrees not being that cold then I remembered you guys are still using Fahrenheit! I live in France where we have similar temps in winter, but occasionally it gets higher. Last week it rose to 5 degrees (celsius) so I put on my heated gloves and vest and had my first blast of the year. It's almost worth not riding for a while just to get that great buzz.
