Hi Ozmo's!
Due to the inactivity on here over the last little while, I thought I'd start a thread to see who's still around. Please post your username, location and bike(s). I know many post their bike in their sig, but some don't.
I'll get the ball rolling. ðŸ'ðŸ»

Rebuilding my '97 750, and parting a 2001 900

I'm most grateful you parted out the 900, not the 750!!! 😉

Melbourne, but moving to NSW next year, Southern Highlands.
Been spending my time between Melb and NSW which has meant not much riding time lately.
Drop in here for a lurk now and then, and usually check out "Tech" section once a week
Cheers Jeff.
What do you ride?
From his sig, a bike like yours.
Gday Jeff.
I do most, if not all DMF posting via phone, so I don't see poster's sigs! ☺ï¸

Cheers, Marty [thumbsup]
Cheers Marty!
I doubt you'll find numbers 1-13, they're probably long gone. Lol!
Which of your Monster collection is your favourite?
I guess you're going for West Coast today??
BeachDuc (Stephen)
I'm near Newcastle, NSW and ride a slightly modified 1100S (2009)
Cheers Stephen.
I reckon your bike will become sought after here with its dry clutch and Ohlins.
Welcome Stephen!
Did you buy it new?
I bought my first 1100S new and later regretted the sale (to buy a boring car!), so went to great lengths to find a low milage 1100S. I think it had under 4000km on the clock when I bought it, so essentially new.

Hi CK,
Gee, I wish it was number 14 but it's one thousand four hundred ** (don't want to give away my VIN on a public forum!)
As for a favourite, it's a bit like having kids you don't really have a favourite - the 93's will always be special as I worked so hard on re-building them. The '95 is my rat bike, it looks tatty but so much fun to ride as I don't worry about dropping it (so far so good I haven't!). The '97 again very differently set up & fun to ride. The 400 is the bike I ride to work on my 4am sign-on's as it is the quietest bike with the standard exhausts (don't want to piss off the neighbours) & surprisingly is a great fun bike to ride, the temptation to fit Termingnoni & hot it up a little is huge but that would then defeat it's purpose!

If you mean the Adelaide Hills unfortunately not - they are being hamstrung by both dropped speed limits and cyclist. Tyres that used to last me summer now last years... :(
Yeah, hadnt been there in years until a few months ago. Forgot about the run off exits for failed brakes.
S2Rs are special models.
Cheers.

Hey mate, Damo's the name. I do like the new monster. It is a pretty easy bike to ride for it's size and power. So far I've only done about 600k's on it as I have been away with work for a bit since i got it. So I guess i'm still "breaking it in", but I do ride it evry chance i can. Ther's not much that I don't like other than that hideous truck mud guard (which went pretty much straight away).
It sounds like you're enjoying it Damo! ðŸ'ðŸ»
