Hey!  That's me!

I've seen a sharp 696 Dark in the same place a couple of times. 

Nice chatting with you this morning.  My 1100 looks a little different than the 696.

Well, "chatting" is a little generous.  I always wear earplugs, so communicating isn't always painless.   

The 1100 looks great.  Black and red is obviously the best combo for Monsters!     How long did you keep the 696 before moving up?  6mo?  I hope you don't think less of me for riding a "little" 695.

I had it 14 months. 

I don't think less of anyone if they are on most bikes.  I'm actually envious of your full red frame vs. the split frame of the 696.

Not Monsters but too pretty not to post.  I saw these yesterday at Alice's.





I talked to the owner of the F1 for a while.  I think I convinced him to get rid of the pipe wrap and just ceramic coat the pipe.  He did this because the pipes were getting so hot it was starting to melt the lower fairings (That's why they aren't on there).

And people today complain about 02 sensors and FI glitches.

Back in *my* day, Ducatis were fire breathing monsters that regularly melted, exploded, had horrible electrics and made you tear your pants off and throw them into trees.

Also, get off my lawn 

I saw a hypermotard riding two up on 3rd street crossing market

also, down by the Fed Reserve, so a guy in a Dianese jacket with a streetfighter.

Cool. You work in my wife's building and across the street from mine. She works as a corporate accountant at MA. I'm with PGE.

Howdy, neighbor. :-)

They hand them out at the airport and borders. Didn't you get your free Monster when you arrived?

In all seriousness, I'm waiting for the day I don't see another Monster. Then I'll start a new thread called "Monster No See Today."
