I'm going to the Mira Mesa bike night this Thursday. You should head down. Since I got my bike, I haven't really been out going on meets and stuff. I've just been riding.

Ok, sounds good.  i work in Mira Mesa, so that won't be a  problem. My group/club will be there too. We should get Rene to show up with her new bike.

Great photos!!! Thanks for sharing!

[almazing]

Thanks! The great photography actually masks my lack of skill and finesse hahaha. The 696 looks really small in those photos, and I'm a small guy(5'7").

I just traded the 696 for an 09 848. I do miss my Monster though. The 848 is like a torture rack compared to the 696, but it's so much more stable and it inspires more confidence than the 696 could ever give me. When I have enough money for a 2nd bike, I'll get another Monster, but until then, I'll ride the hell out of my 848. Thanks for all the help guys. It was a pleasure being a part of the Monster community!
