Recently been thinking of getting a new bike with more pep. Originally I wanted a Honda cb600f - Honda Hornet - then a friend showed me the Monster line up and I fell in love with the Ducati 696 Monster. This weekend I found one, checked it out, and today I'm picking it up after work. Super Stoaked!

Visuals captured me at first, then it was the video reviews I watched, and the nail in the coffin was my friend's $0.02 who works at Coleman Power in Falls Church. I checked out some other nekkeds but the 696 Monster was like *SHWING SHWING*. As for the Craigslist owner that's a different story altogether....I had to beat him to death with his own shoes. nasty business really, but sure enough I'll get the 696 and go on to have a great ride.

Lol ahhhh man that is a good deal! You know how I know? Because I bought that Helmet 3 months ago for $469 before tax and that was with a hook up that even beat the original price from motorcyclecloseouts.com. Well if you come across a deal on a white Icon Accelerant perforated leather jacket please let me know as I am in the market, but can't find it cheaper than $390 anywhere.
