What made you choose the Monster 696 over the Aprilia Shiver?
Nice bike! Damn your lucky…
hahaha,now i will be buying a ducati with my income.
Did the woman come with the bike when you bught it? If so, i’m going to buy one right now. lol
Like thousands come with it. It’s a magnet.
The Monster is a pretty good bike as an all-rounder, but I hope you’re also planning on writing off the cost of some decent leathers, or at least a jacket and jeans, plus some good gloves and boots on the company as well.
I wonder if I can pull the same financial trick – I’m looking at something similar in style, but more of a custom cafe racer based around an old BMW…
I can’t believe Shoe you are on a bike, do you ride it or just bought it and parked it?
of course I ride! who do you think I am? =P
Nice bike and still.
Nice bike, especially second one
No matter what bike you have it is ALL about who is on the back with you
Nice bike Jeremy – the Ducati monster is a raw looking bike, it doesn’t have all the plastic like most other sports bikes. I really dig how you can see all the mechanics. Have fun riding this summer…
I don’t but I prefer car, bike is to dangerous.
I seriously love your website.. Very nice colors & theme.
Did you build this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m trying to
create my very own website and would love to find out where you got this from or just
what the theme is named. Thanks!
