Monster thoughts..
Well I've just taken Lynn's Monster for a quick spin around the block. Its the first time i've ridden one and i'm quite impressed. My inital thoughts are, needs more power and better brakes. It also needs more steering lock. Very nearly caught me out!! Great fun to ride though, flat out everywhere is the order of the day! Jeans and Timberland boots appear to be the approved dress code as well.
It needs a little bit of tinkering but we are going to have some great times on it i think.

You'll end up with a S4R after playing on a 600 for a bit, can't think of anybody else who did that though

No, thats a very strange thing to do Darren!

I must try and get a ride on an S4R but to be honest i prefer the air cooled Monsters, just look neater somehow.

Neils going to breath on this one tonight to make it a bit perkier hopefully.
