Finally finished fitting the Evotech radiator guard and lower engine cover to my Monster 821, after I discovered you need to remove the exhaust manifold nuts during fitting - which look like they'd been rounded off years ago. :( After finally getting them off and replacing them with titanium...
Yeah I'm not gonna go nuts, probably just the coolant filler cap and the radiator mounting bolt. At the moment, most of the red is towards the back and bottom of the bike so wanted some balance.
Loving the Monster 821 so far, the noise is addictive! Went out for a day's ride yesterday and lightly toasted my nuts when sat in traffic due to the heat from the exhaust and rear cylinder :cry:
Fitted a few bits to it recently too:
Lightech Front and Rear Axle Sliders
Probolt Paddock Stand...
I've discovered the Termis on my bike don't have baffles! I thought they were loud. Ear plugs when riding are no longer optional.... :D
I've also heard Termi baffles can be hard to get hold of... (well that's the excuse I'll be using if I get pulled over....)
TBH I wanted something a bit more comfy to ride that wasn't just another in-line 4 and was looking at MT10/09, but then spotted the Monster for sale and asked for a video. As soon as I heard that Termi exhaust, I kinda fell for it. I did a bit more research and then they offered a stonking...
Been riding a while but never owned a Ducati. Until now! Recently swapped my beloved Repsol Fireblade for a 2015 Monster 821 and I love it! The noise alone from the Termis sold it for me. Also enjoying the much more comfortable riding position.
Recently swapped the tank stickers that had...
Created a Blueprint Route of my own.
Blueprint Name: 2 Lakes Speed Run
Season: Spring
Weather: Clear
Series: Road Racing
Car Type: Track Toys
It's a great fast loop around both large lakes, great fun but requires concentration as it's fast and undulating in places with a couple of tight turns...
A big Forza fan here, feel free to add me (MADMAC50K). I came across an influence board hidden in a narrow gap (too narrow for a car) behind a farm house. Other than pitch the car on 2 wheels, but with no hills or ramps nearby. Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to get it?
Also...
Any idea how I check if there is an updated BIOS for my card? I have an MSI GTX 1060 GT OC purchased on launch day. I've tried the MSI LiveUpdate app, but it doesn't run on my AMD-based PC (known bug).
For those that didn't already know - the Blizzard Mountain expansion is half price to XBL Gold Members for the next 7 days. I've just bought it - £8.37 - BARGAIN!!! :)
Don't forget the first thing that the XB1 will want to do before anything else is a system update. I recently swapped my original XB1 for a XB1-S and the update popped up even before the console setup - about 6GB download and a good 10-15 minute install time afterwards.
Good luck with...
I've been playing this offline since release after having no internet at home for 11 weeks (long story!). Now I'm back online, can I get an invite to the OcUK club please? XBL is MadMac50K :)

I've only ever seen snipers or tank drivers at the top of the scoresheets. Although, I've been trying to snipe a pilot for a while so kudos for ticking that one off the list :)
Just more proof that Tanks are overpowered. Me and my squad were pinned down by a light tank at "E" last night so I spawned as Assault with my trusty mines (since the rocket rifle and the tank nades are pretty much useless) and laid some right behind him. Imagine my excitement as I watched him...
The heroes/elite pickups are dotted around the map - not sure of the exact location as I've never used one yet.
The Behemoth is automatically triggered for the losing side at some point during the round - usually after half way I think.
