Title: Hi from the Midlands in the UK!
Post by: buzzer on August 20, 2018, 04:49:57 AM
Hi from the UK!  I feel I can join the forum now as I have just bought a 600 Monster!

my start with Ducati didnt go well...  a few years ago I bought an ST4...  but I just didn't get on with it and sold it soon after.  Last august a Multistrada came up which had some light bodywork damage so I bought that to work on over the winter.  I did a full nut and bolt restoration on it, and although I really like it, its not a Monster.  Its almost a monster thought... but not quite!  there are some pictures below of the build but the full story is at

The new bike is a 1997 M600 which at the moment is not running well, another reason for joining the forum, I will post a separate thread on that shortly and hope to get some advice.

and finally, the new purchase.  Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, first thing is to get it running, and then decide...  it will be this winters project.

A couple beautiful machines, and obviously you're great with a wrench. Very nice!
