Hey, new from northern Arkansas up here in these curvy hills. [thumbsup]I've been riding for about 10 years the last four with my 2011 Monster 696 that I bought new in 2012 at the end of riding season so I got a fair deal on it. I previously owned a 2007 Kawasaki KLR so the transition from knobby tires to the Pirelli's on the Monster was like riding on polished glass! I also on a 1976 Honda CB360 that I got without brakes, controls, handlebars and carbs so gummed up I just replaced them with Mikuni carbs, its mainly just a cafe project I mess with every once in a while. I have always loved the Ducati line especially the newest Monsters. I haven't put as many miles as I want on my Monster due to moving to a house down a dirt road that stays muddy throughout the rainy season, however the miles I have accumulated have been the most enjoyed since I've been riding. I look forward to participating in posts when I can and will appreciate the help when I can get it.
