Hi From Oregon!

[barkertodd]

Hi All,

Name's Todd, Ive been lurking here a while as I did research before buying my Monster. I'm based in the Willamette Valley of Oregon where my commute is anywhere from 100 to 160 miles a day (round trip) depending on the route I want to ride.

I started riding last year, completed Team Oregon BRT training, bought a Suzuki GZ 250 and put several hundred miles on it before giving it to my girlfriend to learn on. I jumped up from there to a Ninja 650R last January and put on almost 6000 miles in the past seven months of riding. Yesterday I bit the bullet and traded my 650 in for a Monster 1100 and couldn't be happier!

Of course, as a new owner, I have a bazillion questions, but I will be good, and search the forums before asking 
Heres a couple pics from yesterday, Later!!

The "Red Room" at Motocorsa, this is where you take delivery of the bike before they roll it out of the showroom


At home, with 81 miles on the bike!
