Title: Returning to Ducati - got a Monster this time!
Post by: s14unimog on May 18, 2011, 06:18:19 AM
Hey guys, new guy here, but no stranger to Ducati.  I'm 24 and live in Georgia (about 15mins from NPR Ducati if anyone is familiar). My current Duc is a 1999 Monster 900S with a few modifications.  I got this bike from a friend who was moving and it was in sad shape, and not running, when I trailered it home.  Luckily this sad shape kept it quite affordable and with my keen sense to tinker, I had it back running in under an hour. 

Before this bike I've had an array of different characters but my most recent was resurrecting a 2000 TL1000R and before that, the same situation with a 2000 Ducati 750S.  Here are some pictures of those, as well as the new (to me) Monster.
