Nearly bought a Ducati Monster as my first bike after passing my test but was advised this wasn't a great idea for a commuter by a relative who used to sell Ducatis. Took delivery of this Multistrada from Coventry Ducati and working my way through running in miles and trying to dodge the worst of the gritting.
Oh no.... I thought you had a wicked Uncle who had recently told you not to buy a Monster, so you simply bought a Mutley. That and a picture of your Dad as an avatar! LOL! Either way, its always good to have some new faces on our forum.
