Title: Hi Everyone
Post by: SQBT on April 09, 2011, 03:16:58 AM
Hi everyone,

I am Pavel, from Germany;
Monster 750 Dark, no mods

Being actually an addicted Caterham driver, I found my Duc while looking for a plain and pure naked bike just to have something a tiny bit simpler, less sportive and less aggressive, but still fun.
Now since three weeks and 1.5tkm he continuously pulls me to the Dark side :)  and my way from work takes now 4 hours instead of 20 minutes.


My other interests are sports, art, cooking;
I like blues, blues, chamber music, jazz, blues;
I do not have TV/radio, do not read newspapers :)

What else...

I will possibly write very little and drop by mostly for technical information and HOWTOs,  but I do not have yet much interesting to say about bikes, anyway.

Welcome, I also love monsters for their simplicity.  Really nothing that isn't needed on them.

Thanks guys.

now that I have a hot Weekend behind me...

I got my first bike speeding ticket  [bang] [leo]; I had no idea my little monster can actually go that fast :)
and my first rear wheel slide (on the streetcar railroad on the crossing, a narrow 90 grad right turn), I was lucky and could straighten the bike and break on the straight line after, then turning in again to avoid the opposite traffic :o   I think, my Monster and my Angel worked hard on that one  [bow_down]


I'm afraid I do not have any pics yet, because I use my time to drive... done almost 2 thousand in 3 weeks  ;D  Besides... to be honest, I do not even have a camera. But I have a couple of pics made by Ducati dealer who sold it to me, perhaps that would work for the first time...
How do I add it?  (Edit: got it :) )


As I told, I was not looking particularly for a Monster, but the moment I tried mine, he got me. The handling and simplicity of the whole concept are amazing.

Concerning Caterham - it is surely as addictive, as biking, but the whole dynamics is completely different, it likes drifting.
