NEW MONSTER FOr 2014
Following the successful unveiling of the new generation Monster 1200 at the Milan International Motorcycle show in November, Ducati now introduces the Monster 821, a mid-size version of the exciting new model and the latest entry to the world of Monster.
Having delivered over 290,000 Monsters since the original concept more than 20 years ago, the essential new model maintains its stylish character using the new chassis and muscular styling of the Monster 1200, designed with premium components fully integrated with Ducati’s latest technologies. Powered by the latest edition of Ducati’s highly successful 821 Testastretta 11° engine, the highly accessible new Monster combines 112hp and 65.9ft-lb of torque with an impressively lightweight 179.5kg – 395.7lb (dry weight) overall package.
This stylish mix of minimalism and performance paves the way back to the original essence of the Monster concept, where less-is-more and made-in-Italy combine to create a motorcycle lifestyle. High-spec brakes, excellent suspension and stylish componentry merge with Ducati’s best-yet ergonomics to offer the Italian manufacturer’s most attractive mid-range Monster ever. Super comfortable and with an innovative adjustable seat height, the model also combines 8-level traction control, 3-level ABS and 3-level Ride-by-Wire into Ducati’s user-friendly, press-button Riding Modes. The Monster 821 uses next generation technologies to create an enhanced rider/motorcycle relationship, delivering a high-adrenaline experience while constantly reassuring with the feeling of complete control and ergonomic integration.

eLatION and some disappointment for Martin Jessopp at his Isle of Man tt debut. Riders Racing Martin Jessopp has just completed his first IOM TT, no stranger to road racing, he posted a series of rapid times and 26th-place finishes in both the Superbikes and Superstock races.
At the time of the incident Jessopp was as high as 11th at Glen Helen on lap three thanks to a 118.698 MPH average, posting 122.236 MPH at Bungalow and 143.7 MPH at Sulby. Jessopp had maintained and even improved his pace to cross the line in a time good enough for tenth. Martin who started 32nd was 23rd at the time of the incident, a high side after hitting a patch of damp, he was lucky to walk away with just a broken shoulder blade.
NEW
Well done Martin in your first TT and we wish you a speedy recovery.

We would also like to congratulate steve Payne on his promotion to Parts and Accessories Manager and Callum swift on his return to the Riders Parts Team.
BIKES
Blood Bikes Wales rider, Don Minett, delivered 4 litres of frozen breast milk to two South Wales Neo-natal units as part of the Blood Bikes service. He collected the milk at Ross-on-Wye from Blood Bike colleagues in the Midlands, the Midlands Free Wheelers, who had collected it from the Birmingham Women’s Hospital at edgbaston. Two litres were delivered to the Neo-Natal Unit at the royal gwent Hospital, Newport and after a ride down the M4 the other two litres were dropped off to the Neo-Natal Unit at singleton Hospital in swansea.
That’s a 176 mile trip and if he hadn’t delivered the milk, both hospitals would have ordered taxi’s to collect the milk from Birmingham. So, Blood Bikes saved the NHS in Wales £350 in one day and similar journeys happen almost every week of the year! visit bloodbikeswales.org.uk for more information.
