While Tiffer's and I were cruising around Ducati Island on Saturday, we happened to notice the famous Toasty the Toaster sitting on the DESMOHIO table.

Tiffany was talking to Chris, ran some interference and I swiped Toasty and walked off.

Here is Toasty and I walking in Gasoline Alley / Paddock Area with the Pagoda in the background

Ok, so after queing up, we finally entered pit road.

Here is Tiffer's with Toasty infront of Team Ducati's telemetry booth.

Here is Toasty and I in front of Stoner's garage right before they started up Stoner's bike (after several failed attempts).

Holy shit, is that thing loud.

and last but not least, the trip would not be complete without Toasty on the famous Row of Bricks.

brick shot is brilliant.

Throw this up in General Monster Forum, Jud.

I am not a mod, so I can't move it!


I forgot the best part of this trip for Toasty..........

We were in line getting ready to enter Pit Access and I swear, about 15 people came up to me and asked why I had a Toaster and what the purpose was. I explained to them about the history and how everyone signs the guest book, etc. Everyone thought it was so cool.

Also, right when I was taking the picture of Tiffany, some foreign news crew came up and started video taping the toaster and tiffany. It was obvious the guy couldn't speak english, but gave us a huge thumbs up.

Somewhere in the world this past weekend, Toasty was on TV.....................

Toasty goes to Indy....  [thumbsup]

the relic goes to bbq's

 [laugh]

Yeah ya can.

Very bottom left of the page.

done

Their toaster's ugly.   ;D

Yeah, Toasty's illegitimate wannabe cousin has no style.  And seems to like *shiver* really old people  [cheeky]

Sure is. 

Toasty on the yard of bricks is badass!

I think they were looking at her boobs. ;D ;)

Nice pics CB!

BP..you schooled the 'busa group on who the "REAL" toaster is and who has it, I hope?! 

That toaster looks like something from the 70's!!   :-\

I posted up a few things... then got banned [laugh]

I was about 5 steps away from Toasty  [bang] [bang]

when??

Sat  I was walking around Ducati Island area in the late morning.

I was there when Jud swiped it.

Sh1t, I didn't see him, and I was hanging around the Island a lot  :-[  :'( 

mitt

Damn, next time we need to wear name tags so that we know who each other are.

Or a t-shirt that says...

I'm a Dumb Mother Fucker

Give me one and I shall wear it.
I wore a DIMBY shirt the one day, a Titanium shirt another and a DeVal Mostro one on Sunday.
And of course I saw the Toaster make his escape.

I should like to take Toasty from PNW to DIMBY... :'(


Agree with everyone, bricks pic was awesome! [thumbsup]

 [clap]

very good toasty, .............and cyrus!

thats badass! toasty has mad skills. I wonder when he'll cross the pond to our european friends.

Some of us did...........

But you at least look like that so you're easy to pick out of a crowd.  [cheeky]

Good point

Still sour you had to pay 10$ to park?

I'm used to problems. The guy had a point I suppose, even though he probably just put it in his pocket. Plus, I imagine it caused questions sitting in Ducati Island with a "Towed" tag on the forks.

You never camp, do you???


"Towed" refers to vehicles that come in to RV Camps Sites that aren't driven, they are "towed"

get it??


 [roll]



 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

AWESOME!

jud, that pic of toasty on the bricks is great!

i visited with toasty on the island,
i got a pic, still on my camera.

No, I don't camp.
Shit, I thought it was proof that we were bad.

you are going to need to try harder than that  ;) [laugh]

Yeah, you really aren't much of a hooligan.

You would have been a bad ass if you would have told old man river in the yellow jacket to shove it or you would break his hip.

I don't make the beast with two backs around like that if it affects other people. If it were just me, it might have been a whole different deal. Although for just 10 bucks, I still might have just paid it and told him to put it towards a new hearing aid.

Man, that dude on the right has a weird name.

Must be Chew.bac.ca's brother.

Finally got to meet Toasty too.

(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/mczerok/nickandtoasty.jpg)

and so did the CDC mascot Bella.

(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/mczerok/bellaandtoasty.jpg)


did anybody catch Bella and JC being interviewed by the speedway film crew  on the jumbotron Saturday??

I wondered when Bella and Toasty would meet   [laugh]

Right before Bellas interview on the jumbo tron, the Red Bull girls were not too enthusiastic about the idea.

(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/mczerok/jcandbella.jpg)

signing Toasty,

Hey Joel, cool logo huh!!!!

 [thumbsup] [laugh]

Has there been any disscussion of Toasty doing an International tour?

I would be happy to assist with transport costs on his tour to Australia 

 [bacon]

The rules state that Toasty cannot be shipped.

But you're free to fly over here and pick him up.

 [thumbsup]

rules....HA!

 [laugh] [laugh]

So where does Toasty go next???

I kind of want to keep him til my wedding in November.

He has never been to the Southern Most Point in the US, then he could make a tour of Florida with the CDC

He hasnt had green chile either.  I think a tour of New Mexico is in order.  I'll come up in November and crash your wedding and take him.   [beer]

I see a lot of wedding crashers attending to get Toasty in November.

You guys can come party in Key West, unfortunately, crashing the actual wedding will be very difficult.

When you get married on a sail boat, only a limited number of people are allowed.


However, feel free to come party with us on Duval Street after 8pm

Do you really think one of us isn't dumb enough to come tearing out after a sailboat, jolly roger hoisted, and board your boat demanding the women, liquor and toaster?

Sounds like a movie script...

Toasty Rules!  [thumbsup]

Cool pics of the Brickyard.

Yeah, I think so.

Considering two of the attendees are Secret Service Agents which are armed with Glock .357's...........

I've walked on the bricks a bunch of times, but still get a chill every time I touch them.

I am glad Toasty had the experience of resting on them for a few minutes

FYI all.


I have no clue what the significance of the bricks is.



I don't even know what they are. Perhaps the path to the bathroom?

Don't get out much....

eh?

Seriously?

Well, if you's for reals, here ya go:

"Following an initiative by automotive parts and highway pioneer Carl G. Fisher, an Indiana native who was both a former race car driver and one of the principal investors in the track, the safety concerns for race drivers and spectators eventually led to a substantial additional expenditure to pave the track surface with 3.2 million paving bricks, thus giving the track its popular nickname "The Brickyard." Today, 3 feet (0.91 m) of original bricks still remain at the start/finish line."

Is that Grifo by the ez-up?

Apparently you are not familiar with the great race known as the Indianapolis 500.

Known as the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing"

aka the largest single day sporting event in the world............

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the most well known track in the world.

I don't have a tv.

it's a spectacle alright.

not really about the racing, but the partying and people watching is pretty awesome.

wow, now thinking about it...that was '94  :o

You throw nearly 500,000 people in one area on one day.............

Yeah, you will have some great people watching opportunities.


There is a lot out there in the world, check it out.


You would be correct

Read a book.

   Anyone know who the guy is in the pic at the bottom of page three? My wife and I had the pleasure of standing in line with him at the Stoner autograph signing ;D

Very kewl!  [thumbsup]

What do you think when I do instead of watching tv?


I read two-three every week. There is a library in my apartment.

Jagstang and I were in the Island most of the weekend.

We were very well behaved on saturday because we forgot the beer, and didn't want to pay $.50/ounce at the track.

Sunday, I was carrying around a backpack (not cooler) full of cowboy cool budweiser and heineken, while nick carried a camelback full of redbull/vodka. We were both super-wasted by noon, and probably made a spectacle of ourselves in the tent.

Btw, if anyone of you found my sunglasses (ray-ban aviators) that's awesome, and I don't particularly want them back.

If you found my wallet however, I would really appreciate it if you could drop it in the mail (address on my expired license). It would have been full of expired drivers licenses, student id's, and some other bullshit. No credit cards or anything like that.

WTF?? That's not Cyrus!! THIS is Cyrus:

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I spent the whole weekend there and was able to put faces to the names. Unfortunately I was not able to keep Lethe and Pakhan from entering the hospitality tent, hence immediately bringing down the class until they left. Toasty might be pregnant.

"mommy..... my toast tastes like asparagus"

Your toaster was defiled!!

(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/cjhernan/toastyme.jpg)

Toasty was freed from the dungeon it was held captive in Chicago.  Rumor has it that it will be attending the Indy Moto GP
Someone needs to claim it after its  parade ride on the Red Snake Ride.

The 'Scourge' returns....

After toasty partakes in The Red Snake Ride tomorrow, if not claimed by a DMF member, it will travell to Scotland with Scotty Bob of the Scottish Ducati Club.

awesome sauce

ca. 2005 (?)

Toasty is going to Scotland

weeeeeeeeee...no passport required

I say...

good riddance.

I agree

heretics

Nice seeing you again Toasty.  If you are flying out of JFK we would like to get together with you.  Anyway, bon voyage!

Flying out of Chicago on Wednesday. After touring Scotland, I heard it may be going to visit Geoff in the UK  [drink]
