I am SOOOOO glad this was created. As soon as the ads came on the old site (you know the one) I couldn't find anything, and everyone left!! [moto]
Had to use that smiley!!
Anyway, I think i'm one of the only monster riders in Western Maryland, outside of one new red monster i've seen around town. If you're west of Frederick, MD - drop me a line! But you've got to be east of Ohio!! :)
Glad you made it!!! [thumbsup] [moto]
Welcome!! [moto] [moto]
I just went to the dealer in Winchester VA yesterday and got a sneek peek at the new 696 that had just come out of the crate - literally!! The tech was still putting the parts on it. The bike seems smaller than a s4r and i'm thinking it's going to be a great bike for newbies or for people like me - that need an around the town bike or a great commuter, or a rippin' mountain bike (hills of PA are calling!) Makes me want one. The interchangable tank panels and other bits are just too cool. I hope some of the new design comes over to the higher displacements in time. And Duc Pond has just enlarged their showroom and have tons of new DUC items and lots more bikes. Go take a look if you are in the area! ;D
actually posted on TOB a message in the moderators area to join the DMF....it's still there and i've not been given the heave-ho yet!! And I posted this pic as my avtar. Wonder how long it will last even though it is hard to read. [laugh]
