Hi, I really like this forum. Ive been reading alot for the past 2 weeks and finaly my Ducati arrived :).

My name is Adrian and im from Oslo Norway.
I am a student at the moment and I paint houses in the summer to afford my motorcycle hobby :).

Just bought a Monster S4 with 12500 miles on the clock. Its in perfect condition with all services done.

I recently sold my suzuki GSR600 because I wanted something a little more passionate :).

Looking forward to riding all summer long :).

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes I acctually like the fact that its a tribute to Ayrton Senna, ferocious driver :).

I cant wait for the exhaust to get here, its almost louder than my old GSR 600 with leo vince stock, so its gonna be fun.

I was driving trough the perifiral of Oslo and stubled uppon a street tripple, I just love how i dont have to rev the engine to max to keep up with fast bikes. It just pulls like a train :).

And the susspension and handeling are in another league than the suzuki. It gives me so much more feedback and feel of the bike, and that makes me feel so much safer when cornering.

Its gonna be hard to top this bike .... maybe the s4rs  :D

Thanks, also got the valve clearance adjusted and the co  adjusted. Since they where going to adjust the CO I tolt my dealer to put a corse open box and race filter on it so it would match the leo vince exhaust.
The difference is quite big, BUt my CO was way to low so the extra power might come from that also.
It now runs smooth and pulls harder :).
