Hey all,

My name is Adam and I moved back to the Greater SF Bay Area a few months ago, just heard about this board last week dropping my bike off at Munroe for a chain. Apparently I missed the old incarnation and its sad destruction, but showed up in time for this version, which looks and feels fine.

The bike is a '96 M900, the first and only vehicle I ever bought new. I cut my teeth on old Brit iron back in the '80's but fell instantly and hopelessly for the Monster upon first seeing it on the showroom floor...

I tattoo people for a living, and half the reason I moved back to the bay area was for its great collection of fine tattoo shops and the best tattoo clients I have ever run into. The other half of the reason is the weather, never too hot (or too cold, tho I used to ride in the snow in NYC) to ride. And roads you had to go a lot farther to find back east...

Welcome.

The 96 M900 is the best Monster ever. Grin

Congrats on your "escape" & welcome home!

I lived in NYC for 3 years, and loved every minute of it, but wanted to stop the Uhaul & kiss the ground after crossing the GW coming back home...

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Any carbie 900 is a ton of fun, but you guys have cooler lettering than I do. Cry
