Well guy's and gals of this amazing forum, I just wanted to express my thanks, especially to members like Curmudgeon, who took the time to answer my posts and make the experience of owning my Ducati a pleasure.
I'm trading my 796 in for an XT660(X or Z) early next week, as after 4 months of faultless running and fun on the Monster, i've realised it isn't the bike for me to use daily on the roads I ride-i'm getting far too concerned over the mileage and potential value as it's financed, and that's not something I want to feel on a daily hack
So thanks to one and all, you guys are an amazing community, and if and when a Monster returns to my garage, i'll be back here in a flash!
