Hello from Chicago

[vnmous1]

Hope you don't mind the summer blend brew.  It kinda covers up the stench of the 5 day old french cruellers.

Back in the (Monster) saddle again.  Well...almost.  Had a 750 Dark and a M900 in the 90s.  After owning a virtually unused Goldwing for 5 years...and then a Yamaha FZ6R for about 5 months before being THOROUGHLY bored, I put the little Yamaha up for grabs and it's GONE! (Yea!!)

Picked up an '08 S4Rs Tricolore that will be en route next week.  Should have it around the 10th.  Seller just put this vid up
2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore -- FOR SALE

Has 90% of the toys I'd put on it so it'll be slim pickins regarding mods.  Simple, little stuff like replacing the sliders (it had a very slow fall as the owner went through 'shallow' running water.  Ooopsie!)

Probably a clear, sick on tank protector.  The only clear ones I've seen are shipping from Europe! 

Maaaaybe a hugger....just for protection's sake. 

Bike has 8k on the clock and had had the 7500 done. 

Any pointers regarding 'sore spots' on this bike?

Thanks...and looking forward to being back in the saddle.
