Ducati Monster Forum

Greetings everybody, name is Matt. I'm from London England but live in San Diego now.
My bikes have included - Yamaha SR125 (the learner), Harley Sportster 883, Yamaha R6. I ride dirt bikes usually a couple times a week when I can (but don't enjoy it as much as the road).

I have always wanted a monster, I remember seeing one parked outside my school in England and immediately falling in love with it. I'd walk past it a few times a week, it was red with a gold frame. It was a treat every time it was parked up I would ogle at it for a few minutes. I didn't know anything about them but I knew I wanted one. I tried to get one a couple years ago when I moved here, and again about a year ago through Ducati financing but I just couldn't do it- too expensive. So finally my dream has been realized in the shape of an 02 Monster 750ie Dark, which I was told had a 6 speed tranny but doesn't haha. Oh well, not enough to put me off.

I've been riding for about 6/7 years, got my license in London and had to get a new one when I moved here a couple years ago. Damn circle.

If there's anyone else in the San Diego area that rides regularly hit me up for rides and  [drink]

Also if anybody knows of any local monster friendly MC clubs let me know, I've been wanting to join one for a while..
