The rider isn't real either, he's a figment of my imagination. Isn't that right Jukie.

Welcome to all the new folk.

Polly
Ecster
Flipper.

If you'd like to come out we're off for a ride on the first Saturday in June.

cheers
Matty...

as Flippers a Sydneyite and I'm from Melbourne there could be quite a few K's ridden to the meeting point.

soooooo  is it a Sydney ride or Melbourne??

That's Sydney I'd be talking about.

But you were after a long ride ... ask Heather how.

Welcome Ecster

G'day all

Name's Chris, I live in Newcastle, and have just joined the Monster fold with the purchase of a 2009 M696 that I'm planning to race in the F3 nakedbike class of Formula Extreme.

I've never raced before, so this will be the debut.  I've done a few trackdays on my other Ducati (848).  I tossed up racing it, but thought I'd rather start in the lower class, get a season or so under my belt, and see where I go from there.

I see a few familiar names here - Dock, Oz. I think I've met you, Matty at EC? 

Anyhow, keen to soak up as much info as I can get.

Oh, the Monster was a repairable write-off, but in remarkable nick. A few scuffs on the tank, some mild rashing to the LHS engine case, bent bars and a damaged left fork.  It came with termis and a race ECU, as well as all the stock mufflers & bits.  The fork's repaired now, I've got bars on the way, and am now prepping it to take to Eastern Creek on the 12th of June. Debut race is on the 1st weekend in July. 

Welcome Chris.

I'm sure you'll have fun here to fill in the time between racedays.

welcome chris.
good luck with the monster racing

Welcome Chris.  Where about's in Newcastle are you?  Good luck at Eastern Creek.

Welcome Spot, good to see you here... again, congrats on the M696 and your new racing career..

Welcome Chris

Hey Chris,

     Welcome along, it's a nice home here.
We have met a couple of times EC and at Oz's place when loading bikes to head to PI.
Congrads on the 696 hope the new racing career will be fun, I'm sure there will be lots of enjoyment in it.

Thanks all.

Yes, I thought it was you, Mattyvas, that I'd met at Oz's house. You were picking up a bunch of bling, from memory!

StephenC, I'm in Adamstown Heights. You in Newie too?

Swansea, so Newcastle is the closest to civilisation hereabouts!

welcome to the family guys
