I finally went for it and bought my first bike, I'd wanted a Monster for years and decided it was time for me to try riding. I got a great deal and trailered it home from a few hours away this past September, I've bought some parts for it and plan winter maintenance at some point. I can't wait for spring and getting my MSF coursework done, its been brutal having it in the garage and not being able to ride it yet! I'm trying to pick up new tires with holiday deals and will get a parts list together, we'll see how far down the rabbithole I go!
