Title: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: Grampa on September 16, 2008, 08:37:13 AM See'n how Toasty has been around the block a few times (and is still go'n), I thought it might be fun, if we shared Toasty with the great unwashed.
I, like many of you look forward to reading mostrobelle's (Heather) stories, and thought it would be fun if she would write a story about Toasty and his travels, and submit it to some of the big bike rags, to see if one of them would put it to print. So..... I asked her if she would be interested in the idea..... I think I have her suckered in ;) [laugh] What I/we/she needs is..... any pics and back stories (with time frame) you may have in regards to your time with Toasty. Then...... she can add her poetic spin to it. so..... please use this thread to post pics and any story you may have. It would be awesome if Toasty and or Toastys book could make it into Heather hands. (see'n the tigers whisker Michelle added to the book, not mention all the fun things people have written in it, would just add to the stories flavor) what say ya'll?

Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: Grampa on September 16, 2008, 09:41:27 AM For those that dont know..... the idea of Toasty was born in the aisles of a Target store in Bakersfield, by combining the fun associated with roaming gnomes, and ductapes goof on giving people toasters as gifts for high post counts at TOB.
Toasty is a simple red Oster Toaster, that has had the Ducati Monster logo etched into it's base coat on both sides. I also attached a lil black book for people to sign when they recieve Toasty. The original idea, was for Toasty (or The Red Metal Wind, as he has been refer to as), to be passed amongst friends and fellow monster owners. (a catalyst for bringing people together, if you will) Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast.

Post by: krolik on September 17, 2008, 07:30:03 PM Ahh, Toasty, I know you well, for I was the one to free Toasty from the clutches of the MOB and other California crews. I liberated Toasty from the one legged Crowbar, and sent Toasty about the U.S.
[clap] I've been in the presence of Toasty 3 times: 1: When Toasty was liberated from California, and visited Portland, and other areas in Oregon 2: When Toasty went to Laguna Seca in 2006 for the MotoGP. 3: At DitR, Ouray CO, in 2007.

Post by: Monstermash on September 17, 2008, 08:18:25 PM I think the best thing would be for toasty and the book to find it's way to Heather ASAP.
I know when I read the book I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard. It's truely epic! Where is the great Toasted one anyway? Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: jdubbs32584 on September 17, 2008, 08:29:39 PM I believe Cyrus has him in Ohio.
Ill see if I can convince Mother t post up his pics of toasty and a tale or two of him fighting fires. Toasty the fireman! Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: Popeye the Sailor on September 17, 2008, 09:13:58 PM When I had my hands on toasty I wanted to take him into work and snap photos of him with the satellites. At which point I recalled they'd jail me for that. Pooh.
Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: MrFryMoto on September 19, 2008, 12:05:43 PM i have seen and shaken hands (chords?) with the one we call "Toasty", and i was going to steal him...
i had it all worked out; room on the rear seat, a bag to put him in, and a net to strap him down. when the time came, i looked and looked, but he was nowhere to be found; he had been toast-napped. There was much pondering of where he could be; some people even had the audacity to blame me! All i could do was shake my head and sigh when accused. He was almost mine... almost. Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast. Post by: mostrobelle on September 20, 2008, 10:26:30 PM I think I was caught on camera in a port-a-potty with Toasty once.
Although it's not unusual for me to lock myself in a bathroom with an appliance, this was the first one that didn't have batteries. [evil] [laugh] I need more inspiration for this little piece, Bobspapa... I'm going to rent Maximum Overdrive (yes, I was one of the 17 people that actually liked that movie, but you have to be rrrrrreally high...er....or so I've heard) and various episodes of KnightRider to get into the zen/spirit/ghost of the machine.

Post by: lauramonster on September 21, 2008, 04:31:02 PM Toasty's been very lucky to have such a wonderful family.

Interesting how versatile he is. The different facets of his personality come out with each relative he stays with! Title: Re: Toasty.... a retrospective or,The Audacity of Toast.

I got pics from '06 MotoGP (7/23/06) And then in DC on 8/2/06. I turned him over to Ramseses on 8/19/06. I've got a handful of photos loaded on a gallery located here (http://gallery.me.com/scottrodriguez#100181) of both Toasty and some of ToB's Toasters that were requested for post counts. I did a few espresso makers as well. But, don't have them any more.

It was late fall, on a shabby rail platform somewhere North of Boston. The sky was overcast, and it had been raining, the kind of day that leaves one chilled to the bone. With daylight fading , the exchange was made between two strangers, the details worked out in advance by electronic message. Little was said, and the toaster disappeared into the wet dusk, destination unknown....
