Ducati Monster Forum

I went to the other side of the pond.
I hope you will still treat as family.
Thanks to all, I really appreciate all the help you've all given me.
I still be attending the Ducs meet at Marin. See you there.
All you guys are awesome!

regards,
Lito

what? I don't get it.

Check his .sig

Oh when he first posted it just said, his 696.. he edited afterwards :D

*EDIT*
Oh wouldn't that be the same side of the pond as the Duc's?

*DOUBLE EDIT*

I guess I'll see you over on www.Triumph675.net if you start tearing off parts for upgrades think of me, I need back ups for my track bike.

England is an island.
It's always the other side of the pond unless you're in England.   [cheeky]

I WILL, thanks

I think your first thing to do should be upgrade to some Ohlins forks... you know for better performance. Maybe a carbon fiber gas tank?

;)

My guess, you need some forks and gas tank  ;) :D

You really wanted a sport bike.  Too bad you didn't get yourself one right away, coulda saved yourself a big hit on what you lost on the monster.  But then you wouldn't have meet all of us :)

Good luck and keep the rubberside down!

Oh, we'll treat you as family.

You know-the kind that tells each other off.


That is WAY too much bike for you. What was wrong with the 696?

Nothing wrong with the 696.
I'm sure there's something wrong with my head.

 [laugh] [laugh]

Pond, no.  Channel, yes!   ;D  Post some pics already!!!

Anyways, that is a big step up in performance from a 696 but it is a pretty civilized package that is easy to ride.  I hope it treats you well and you enjoy it.

And I'll get in line 2nd for the forks and callipers if you ever change them.

Don't worry...

He will be back in 2 weeks with a 1098  ;D

Of course we will still treat you like our red headed step child.  ;D

The Daytona's a great bike. But still too much for someone just starting to ride  ;D

Be careful on that thing. And yeah, stick around. We don't discriminate...well, unless you ride a Harley  [moto]

Or a Vespa.  :P

675 = smaller than 696. He'll be just fine.  [popcorn]

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

that's the idea, makes a lot of sense  ;D ;D ;D
I'll be fine with my smaller bike  :)

[roll]
 [roll]

Let's hope so.   [laugh]

THANKS! I added pictures.

already got the aftermarket exhaust I see... My Leo Vince Stage II full system should be at my house when I get home.

Did ACE's remap the ECU for you with the TOR map? I'm ordering a TuneBoy if you'd like to redo your map sometime in the future.

I got my exhaust really cheap from a guy who used it to develop tuneboy maps on a dyno. With aftermarket air filter, this exhaust and his map, he was able to break 120hp.

Yes they did.

If you ever want to get rid of this one, let me know. I want a track bike.

If you're serious there are several well set up track/race bikes for sale on the Triumph675.net forums.

I am somewhat serious. I don't plan to buy for another 5 or 6 months, but the 675 is near the top of the list. I love the power delivery of a twin, but want to try something unique and new for the track, so a triple seems to fit that bill. I'm still doing my research, though.
Thanks for the link. I've bookmarked it and will scour it for information when I should be working!  [laugh]

</threadjack>

Put dibs in on his shock now before someone else does.

I only have the bike for 4 days, give me sometime  ;D

Want me to break it in for you at Reno-Fernley? My break in method: ride'er hard and put her to bed wet. She'll come back to you purring like a kitten. I promise  [evil]

you can break it in no problem  ;)
if I trust myself to ride it, I definitely trust a MOBster to ride it  [thumbsup]

Hows the new bike going.

You feel more comfy on it than the Monster? Does it fit your style better ?

Haven't you been reading about TCK!'s current 675??   :P

Already covered there  [laugh]

The guy's had the bike a few days and it's already been *theoretically* parted out.   ???  [cheeky]

all bikes feel weird the first time you get on them.  The monster's seating position is so generic that I cant imagine it would be uncomfortable.   

 [laugh]  I love it.  Never heard it before, but I may adopt it for daily use.

 ;D

U know. Some people prefer a more kickback up right position. Others like the crotch rocket feel. You know all those people who put clipons on there monster etc.

Wouldn't you say Cruiser, Hybrid and sports bike would be all different riding styles  ???

you're right.  i was just being a dick, not necessarily targeted at you.  Im editing the original post...  [bang]

I just find it hard to belive that comfort would be the main concern if you are going from a semi standard sport bike to a crotch rocket with clipons

Shhhh...  keep that to yourself  :P

Way to just roll over like a limp wristed nancy boy.

(not sure what this cartoon has to do with the topic, but the guy has a limp wrist)

 [laugh]

you loose "True Internet Hero" status

No worries... No offense taken.

Plus we have met before so most likely you cant piss me off that easily  ;D

Even if he did, weren't you telling me you could "wipe the floor with that jersey nancy"?  :P

those Massholes are such sshit talkers   [laugh]

dont you have some make-up to put on?   :-*

Not yet-you hadn't finished showing me how to wear it.

It's doing great, thanks for asking.
What riding comfort? There's none, I just let it rip and forget about all the discomfort  ;) :D
