Hi everyone,

I am Pavel, from Germany;
Monster 750 Dark, no mods

Being actually an addicted Caterham driver, I found my Duc while looking for a plain and pure naked bike just to have something a tiny bit simpler, less sportive and less aggressive, but still fun.
Now since three weeks and 1.5tkm he continuously pulls me to the Dark side :)  and my way from work takes now 4 hours instead of 20 minutes.


My other interests are sports, art, cooking;
I like blues, blues, chamber music, jazz, blues;
I do not have TV/radio, do not read newspapers :)

What else...

I will possibly write very little and drop by mostly for technical information and HOWTOs,  but I do not have yet much interesting to say about bikes, anyway.

Welcome, I also love monsters for their simplicity.  Really nothing that isn't needed on them.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"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 guys.

now that I have a hot Weekend behind me...

I got my first bike speeding ticket  [bang] [leo]; I had no idea my little monster can actually go that fast :)
and my first rear wheel slide (on the streetcar railroad on the crossing, a narrow 90 grad right turn), I was lucky and could straighten the bike and break on the straight line after, then turning in again to avoid the opposite traffic :o   I think, my Monster and my Angel worked hard on that one  [bow_down]


I'm afraid I do not have any pics yet, because I use my time to drive... done almost 2 thousand in 3 weeks  ;D  Besides... to be honest, I do not even have a camera. But I have a couple of pics made by Ducati dealer who sold it to me, perhaps that would work for the first time...
How do I add it?  (Edit: got it :) )


As I told, I was not looking particularly for a Monster, but the moment I tried mine, he got me. The handling and simplicity of the whole concept are amazing.

Concerning Caterham - it is surely as addictive, as biking, but the whole dynamics is completely different, it likes drifting.
