Hello From Iowa

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by ediowa, Feb 23, 2021.

  1. I just joined this forum. I bought a very nice 1998 Ducati M900 Monster last summer and have been learning a lot about this bike. I bought it mostly because it was a good deal but man I really like riding this Monster! Anxious for spring to arrive. This is my first V Twin Ducati, I also have a 1968 Scrambler 350 waiting for minimal restoration. My son bought a Hypermotard 1100S a couple summers ago, very cool bike that got me interested a cheap Monster.

    I'm a farmer in Iowa and have lots of bikes, mostly 70's vintage. Looking forward to spending some time on this forum, thanks!

  11. The only old Ducati, the 350 Scrambler, is packed away in my machine shed, I'll try to snap a pic one of these days. I could post a pic of a couple of my other geriatric bikes:

  12. Looks like lots of Brits on this forum? I don't even know if this site is hosted in USA, UK or where? Anyway, thanks for all the "welcomes". Looking forward to getting rid of this white stuff:

  13. Moto Guzzi el dorado and BMW r100s. Had the BM but first Guzzi was a T3 California. Singles and Twins always do it for me. I believe The USA tried making a few twins but never really caught on:)
     
  14. Greetings!
     
  15. Hey now! USA twins are cool too! :)
