Greetings everybody, name is Matt. I'm from London England but live in San Diego now.
My bikes have included - Yamaha SR125 (the learner), Harley Sportster 883, Yamaha R6. I ride dirt bikes usually a couple times a week when I can (but don't enjoy it as much as the road).
I have always wanted a monster, I remember seeing one parked outside my school in England and immediately falling in love with it. I'd walk past it a few times a week, it was red with a gold frame. It was a treat every time it was parked up I would ogle at it for a few minutes. I didn't know anything about them but I knew I wanted one. I tried to get one a couple years ago when I moved here, and again about a year ago through Ducati financing but I just couldn't do it- too expensive. So finally my dream has been realized in the shape of an 02 Monster 750ie Dark, which I was told had a 6 speed tranny but doesn't haha. Oh well, not enough to put me off.
I've been riding for about 6/7 years, got my license in London and had to get a new one when I moved here a couple years ago. Damn circle.
If there's anyone else in the San Diego area that rides regularly hit me up for rides and

Also if anybody knows of any local monster friendly MC clubs let me know, I've been wanting to join one for a while..
Thanks to everybody for using this board and keeping it alive, it is a tremendously helpful resource!!
