Had an excellent Easter holiday visiting family in Atlanta. Was able to bum a ride on a Ducati Monster 696 and go bomb around some excellent twisty back roads there. 300awhp makes for a fun daily driver, but 78 one wheel HP (well prolly less because that’s a crank rating and also Italian) is a whole other experience.
I now desperately need a Monster in my life and near by twisty roads to play with it on would be nice as well. But alas I must slum it in Chicago and make due with the occasional track day in my blue pig.

Cities are for supermotos.

You’ve been bitten by the bug, the only way to survive now is on two wheels....

This wasn’t in the city proper it’s the edge of what would be the north eastern suburbs

I was bitten by that bug many years ago. The larger displacement two wheel bug is new though.

Everywhere is for supermotos.

I’m trying desperately to acquire a monster 821. Did the math today and found I can get into it for basically no extra money per month if I change my insurance carrier
Just need to convince the wife

I think the best solution is to get her to ride it, then she’ll be an advocate for purchasing it as well!

She doesn’t like the idea of not having a backrest. But we compromised. I can have the bike if she can have another cat.

ha ha, I meant her riding it herself, not on the back!
The 696 I rode is actually my step mother’s, the one behind it is my dad’s 1100EVO.

That’s where you really gotta put in the work then!

Well no because that leaves me less money for my bike!

My girlfriend desperately wants her own Monster. She’s already dating one, but she wants one she actually wants to ride.
