New '09 Monster 1100 owner in Long Beach, CA

[PhilipMSPT]

Hello everyone.

My name is Phil, and just traded in my '04 Multistrada 1000 for an '09 Monster 1100.

I'm located in Long Beach, CA.  I've been riding a bunch of different bikes in the past decade, and the Monster is more of a purists' bike compared to some I've had in the past.  I've been enjoying her this past weekend, and am slowly beginning modifying her to my liking.

So, here are a few virginal pics.  I've already changed the clutch cover, removed decals and reflectors, and changed license plate frames; so these pictures are actually outdated.  But it's still good bike porn.

Very nice, congrats and welcome!

When you get a chance, don't forget to check in with your local group, SoCal Monsters.

Already bitten by the modding bug, hmmm?  Looking forward to seeing your updates.

Hi Phil,

Nice looking Monster!
I have a red 09 696 and pass thru LB a lot.
Keep an eye out for you.
Mods on my bike so far.

Three weeks and 650 miles later, finally added a few things to the Duc.

BTW, her name is Nicoletta.     And sorry for the crappy cell phone pics...
