Ducati Monster Forum

If you've spoiled, Svoloched, lied, coveted, cheated, or stolen - here is the place for coming clean.  No judgin' or hatin' - just get it off your chest.  You know you'll feel better !

I'm sorry I don't own a Ducati (yet) !

I'm sorry ( RichD. George, & Billy ) I decided to pass that schoolbus ( legally - but too tight/close ) in Glen Rose on the way home from THC because I came close to recklessness - my bad !

I'm sorry I have yet to make a beer donation to the Flounders - need to do that !

I'm sorry if I pissed you off - or annoyed the hell out of you with anything I've posted - must learn to read before I post !

Seriously, I can't count the number of times I've done this.  :P

I'm really sorry I don't have more bikes... to loan people! [laugh] [moto]

Ha, ha.  I know I've stepped on some toes lately.

cdc

I just want to apologize to everyone in case I have not pissed you off enough lately...
As official Chief Agitator, I should take my job more seriously... :P
Mea Culpa.

Really sorry I wrecked my PSLE twice in two weeks at my first two track days.  :P

Sorry I haven't had time to post up much at all......also, sorry if I missed anyone's birthday.....and sorry I missed Hill Country ;)

Sorry I did not take into concideration all the riders as I led a group to Hard8 Sunday.  The speed was too much (especially with the traffic). [bang]

At least I learned something.

Ha Ha,...boy am I getting a laugh out of this post!  ;D You can sure see the ones in here who have a troublng conscience...ha ha... Clean living buddy that's me. I'm glad I don't piss people off  ??? well, ok, Bryant and Jacob, and Oh yeah Chris, uh, and Donald, well that's about all isn't it, uuh....ok Brian, ok that should be about all...ok maybe anyone else who's been offended by my "Spoiler" posts ok. But hey, how many times is Tech going to beat Texas ok? I mean for real, give the plains boys and girls a little time to celebrate their short-lived celebrity. Oh, now you think this is thread jacking??? Shite, there I go again!  [bang] Ok, ...as another great Texan once said....you know this is coming right?....

....."EEEEEXCUUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEEE !!!"............Steve Martin, 1975 SNL skit

Ah, trying to embarrass the new girl huh??    ;)
The speed wasn't a problem at all; it was the constant lane changes when only one or two bikes could make it.  Next time, I will know where I am going better and will split off from the group to ride more sanely. 

nobody needs to apologize to me for anything. it's all in fun and believe me a disagreement on this board with someone from this group doesn't bother me. sometimes it's fun to have different opinions that is why we aren't stepford women and men!!! just don't take stuff personal people relax have a drink get a little and smile ;D

In that order...

No apologies needed here, I'm not pissed at anything or anybody.  [thumbsup]

If people feel like they need to apologize, I'd rather they just donate to one of my charity fundraisers :D 

BTW thanks to those that already have [thumbsup]

Im sorry I havnt made it to a single gtg yet...

...tho its my jobs fault...  they should appologise to me for getting in the way

F#@k it, change jobs! [thumbsup] No need to apologize. Join us when you can. We are always here! [thumbsup]

I'm sorry that I ate a strawberry pop tart last night and even added cake icing to it. 

 [laugh] It takes a BIG PERSON to admit he was wrong !!  [cheeky]

[laugh] I'm sorry that she married up.....  [laugh]

I've been getting some complaints lately that my language is a little vulgar sometimes and that I should refrain from using profanity as much.

Well people, I'm make the beast with two backsing sorry

whew! glad I got that off my chest

If I have offended anyone in anyway I would tell you I was sorry if in fact I was... truth be told I dont care and you are probably just to sensitive anyway and need to get over yourself.

There, does that count  [thumbsup]

I could have confessed that I envied fastwin for his vast stable of 2 wheeled ponies, but that "sin" was not listed, at least not here! I guess I have "coveted" those things, so ok... Im sorry!

Boobies :-*


Yep! ;)

+1 [bacon]

Really  sorry if I said or did anything to piss anyone off last night. I gotta learn moderation.......hot damn I gotta learn

I'm sorry you feel that way!

nope

I'm sorry I can't apologize.  I'd have to give my name back.

-The Svoloch

I'm sorry I have to hold my tongue on this forum when I REALLY don't want to.

Sorry I sold all my bikes three months ago. Needed a new house and the little monsters (kids and wife) needed the attention. Needed to make the better half happy first before next year.... ;D

Next year is a totally different story with the new MONSTER 1100. Can't wait till it is available. [moto]

I have that same problem myself...
...hate it.

+1, Sounds like a new thread to me. How bout a pm thread!

......."loose lips sink large ships"...... I think that's the way it's said right?

Yet again.......I'm sorry if I said or did anything too stupid last night. :-[ I don't really remember the end of the night.  And leading up to that is a lil IZ_. 

 :P I'm really sorry I missed last night's Westie Flash Mob, sorry I missed Tommy get IZ_ & go over the top, & sorry I have to work a lot right now so I'm going to miss a lot of other fun stuff!  :-\

I'm sorry but what are you two talking about?

I don't remember anything about a memory !

What am I talking about?

Whatever.

I'm sorry for what I had to do today  :-\

I may have pissed off/on someone this weekend, sorry.  Every few months or so I have a day where I just loose it.

The friends I now have are priceless. I'll try to keep that in mind.

no worries mate........ we all love ya  [beer]

Plus one!

I'm sorry that my dog started barking 30 minutes early today.  [bang]

good a time to wake up as any.......

i was awake before her

If you had pissed 'on' me this weekend, I might be a little upset at you.  But since you say it's a recurring problem, I'll forgive you - medical conditions are forgivable.   ;)

Medical, you may be right, just don't be "right" by a fence at slags.  Just sayin....

I want everyone to know that I value every single member's friendship, and I'm sorry that I have cast a lot of negative light on this forum lately.  I love every one of you, and I appreciate you all too.  I don't mean to be selfish and only think about myself.  i know I have been overly sarcastic and just down right disrespectful of many things and people and I truly apologize.
Thanks

Yo T. you're forgiven.  BTW I'm NOT sorry that T is my friend.

Go in peace my son. (genuflection)

 [thumbsup]

 [coffee] Since I started the thread i'll just say that apology is said to be a lost art but I think the ability to man-up, take responsibility, admit to stuff,  forgive things, make right/move on is important for friends.  It seems like we've had some good folks keepin' it real & cleanin' it up on the thread -  [beer] here's to them!   

Sorry, I'm being pompous !    [bacon]  [bacon]  [bacon]

I'm sorry I rode 5 miles to run an errand just now. Freezing rain and 25* is no bueno. My visor had a nice coating of ice on it. Time to warm up.  [coffee]

i am sorry i have missed so many events lately. sorry i went christmas shopping with my wife on sat. really sorry it included a trip to the parks mall. sorry i found out how much my wife spends on our kids clothes. sorry i couldn't wait another week to do the hillsboro ride.

Mee Too!!!
Sorry I missed Reds and L'Scotts shindigs!   :'(


Yeah, I just got to work (it's 11PM) ...several overpasses shut down.  Po-po, road flares, tow trucks and sanding trucks are everywhere!

I had to pull over to scrape my visor with a credit card (it's a good trick to know BTW).

Dan - I'm  REALLY  SORRY I/we forgot your birthday!!! 

We're gonna make it up to you!   :-*

I'm also sorry we missed it!  Happy belated birthday, Dan!!

+1 our bad...

Hope it was a good one.  [thumbsup]

We Suck  [bang]

Thelma, aerog, CJ, slag et al, just that you guys posted that stuff means a lot to me.

If you want to REALLY make it up, pay for my Bday bike, the hyper that I bought on my Bday! [cheeky]

I am so used to only having mom, dad, and sibs remember that it was no biggie, but now it is a biggie in a good way.  You guys are important to me, and it means a lot. Thanks ;D ;D :) :)

Happy bday. Glad you're enjoying your gift yo.

Unthreadjack, I'm sorry I did'nt realize RonR is one hellava fast rider (people in the know told me you held way back on that last ride).   [bow_down]

Yeah, he limps along pretty good for an old guy!   ;D   [thumbsup]

thanks man, were all just out having some fun [thumbsup]
I'm very happy to be part of this excellent group ;D

HBD, Dan [thumbsup]

Maybe someone, possibly in West Ft. Worth, could organize a BaconVodka/GH/Mod/Slumber Party in your honor... ;D

I have three chairs, a pick-up bed truck and can get some cots from the airport...............how's the warehome have one?  [clap] [clap] [clap]

 [roll] I'm sorry some don't like the Spanish thread !   :'(  Seemed like it could be fun, if you wanted to expand your horizons and learn some moto related idioms.   8) 

I'm sorry I missed Dax's Christmas party, I really wanted to go

so am I  :o

Glad I kept my pole in Ft Worth :P

 [beer]  We're sorry Drunken Monkey !  [beer]

It's hard to decide which is weirder, apologizing for the hooligans  :P ,  ( some of whom I'm sure are totally perhaps still unrepentant  :-X )

or apologizing to a Drunken Monkey !  [laugh] 

emails never come out in the right tone despite our best efforts, in this case mine.
no excuse, just an apology for posting the beers and bo....s commentary.

 

 ;D Sorry this Apology thread wound up on page 2 where no one seems to be able to find it !  ;D

Sincere apologies merit sincere forgiveness, and I think you can get a pretty accurate measure of people by looking back through this thread.  Forum stuff shouldn't be taken too seriously, but not everything is a joke !  Everyone should be held to the same standards of conduct but that is more easily said than done!  Friction is similar for knives and for people, accurately and consistently applied it sharpens, if it is inaccurate and inconsistent it dulls - frequently causing ruin!

There is often mention of the "rules of posting" which are meant to help everyone get along ( even if that is a little too sanitized and politically correct for some ).

No mention is ever made of "How to read posts" - but the 1st rule should be benefit of a doubt ! The 2nd should be don't take everything too personally!  The 3rd should be Don't start a war ( or bring in Mods ) if a PM or phone call will do!

Listen, there is a LOT of LOVE in the group as becomes obvious when the chips are down and someone is hurt, or needs help!
Why does that become obfuscated when some goofy posts put a burr under a few saddles?  People are NOT PERFECT ( even The Svoloch  [cheeky] ) - People say and do stupid stuff ( ie. post drunk) - People take things the wrong way and due to their point of view have different limits on acceptability of speech and conduct.

Speaking strictly for myself I must say - If you can't get along with the people in this group you probably are not trying hard enough to " fit in " . 

I am always sorry when individuals get so bent out of shape, hurt, offended, censored, or double standarded that they withdraw from the Forum!  It should never come to that, or go that far, because we DO LOVE each other, love motos, & really, at the bottom line ....it's just some chat on the interwebs !  [beer]  [moto]  [beer]

I have a theory that we get along best when we are riding together because then we can't talk to each other at all !   [laugh]  [moto]

All good points Donald [thumbsup]

Especially when the chips are down all the bs is bs and help is on the way no matter who it is.

Also, I like your theory - there is a kernel of truth there. :)

The Svoloch loves everyone.  If you have not been loved by the Svoloch, it's just because it is not your turn yet.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
oh, and I'm sorry for the above comment ( but, you know, not really )

Well said Donald and Dan. Should be a very peaceful weekend on the board. I'll be out of town! [laugh]

If you would just be quiet.... ;D

I think you said you will be plowing, have fun and be careful.
I got to operate my bro-in-laws' brush hog a few times. I love all the levers and pedals, pto, bucket....  guy stuff. :)

Indeed. Need to work on that.

Yep, guy stuff. Plowing and planting. Drinking, steak grilling, cigar smoking, west TX open country (not for old men...), gun shooting. Too bad I had to come back to DFW. :P

sorry i didn't make it out to the superbowl bash/birthday shindig/guitar hero showdown yesterday, zach and catie.  i had a case of the lame and wasn't looking forward to waking up this morning at 5:45 after a night of too much fun.  hope you guys all had a great time.  i'm looking forward to next time around   [thumbsup]

sorry I dropped your bike, Dan :P

gravity happens.

It's OK, hopefully that will be the only drop.

BTW, you managed not to drop your water while side-saddle riding a Hyper. Awesome [thumbsup]

I didn't see him drop his water though.  :-X

 [moto] I apologize to Ronr and the CBR for teasing about it's oil incontinence !   [moto] I owe U one beverage of your choice !  [bow_down]   [moto]

I wonder if he'll order AMSOIL......

I've done all the apologizing I'm gonna do in counseling with my ex-wife and all that got me was a total screwing in court. There, I feel better now. [laugh] Now, back to scooter stuff...  [moto]

I had a great Attorney, too late for you though.  AND I WONT apologize for that which she got, or didn't get.  :-*

I've done all of that at some point or another.. But I've got no regrets

I'm sorry that I haven't checked the board in a good while.

Hey you guys.  [moto]

Howdy!! Still in Waco? Still doing the pilot thing?

I'm sorry I don't need to apologize for anything.   [cheeky]

 [roll] 2/5/09


AND


 [roll]



 [beer] Sorry - but someone has to keep y'all honest  [beer]   [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

 [thumbsup]     [laugh]

My CBR doesn't leak oil, just gas!  It's the 999 that leaks oil.  But I think I've about fixed that.  ;D

T - you looking for Amsoil?  My source moved out of town for a few months, but may be back by summer.  I need a bit my own self.

O.K. it is high time for me time to come clean...


I am truly, completely, irrevocably sorry I'm full of shit.   I'm so full of shit even I can't stand myself sometimes.




There.  I think that should cover it  [evil]

Funny. Me too. But I'm not really sorry for it. It's just a fact! [laugh]

Wow, what timing! After those two wonderful posts and authors I will fit right in here at the last! Cool!

And now it's my turn for the apology for which I don't know why I would feel this way but it seems that a lot of people have brought it to my attention recently that I am a total asshole, fail person, biggot, that I wear tinfoil on my head, and I smoke crack while being in a full state of dissillussionment.

Therefore, I, like several others on the board am retreating from the anger, hate, deceit, lies, politically non-correctness and let's go ahead and throw in the Blatant Double-Standard that I seem to exhibit. No, it's not that I'm taking a knock on my personality and can't recover it's just that I'm sorry that my dry wit has not been realized by those it was mearly intended to entertain.

I've tried to fit this square peg in the round hole of the DFWM board but it's just not working. I just wanted to make some new friends, ride, and have fun. I didn't realize it was going to be such hard work to gain acceptance. I'm not a bad person and I wish several of you had taken the time to find out more about me. I'm sure you'd think different of me if you had. I'm sorry for that.

So in taking some of my own advise as I've been told to do, I will be looking inside my heart for some answers as to why I'm this way. 

I am retiring from the DFWM board as well as any other board associated with the DFW area. To those who know how to get in touch with me feel free to do so at any time. You're my buds! Thanks for the fun times.

Been there, done that. I have also been a pariah to this group for far too long. Not that you ever have been. I win that contest hands down. I have taken a leave and returned with a (hopefully) better attitude. You all will be the judge, not me. And your vote wins not mine.

I see no reason for this. What the hell have you done? Me? Sure! Tar and feather my ass out of town on a rail but not you. I suggest you have a couple of adult beverages of your choice and sleep on it. Heck, I'll join you! Not in that way!!! ;D Shouldn't we just focus on riding and bikes? Didn't Tommy post up the best post ever about this? Personally I think we should all turn off the god damn computers and just call each other on phones and plan a ride or lunch or dinner. This message board shit is killing us!!! How stupid is that? I am partially to blame and I swear I will stop. Anyone want to join me? Twelve step program???? :P

 :-[ Red, I will be sorry to see you go if that is what you choose.  There is another aspect to an apology that is sincerely offered with an attempt to make things " right " - FORGIVENESS !  

I know you very briefly but visiting your home, meeting your family and friends, I know that you are a decent and good man. I also know that we have very radically different political views.  That does not matter.  There is a really good reason that some things are proscribed on this forum - because people hold tightly to their views and beliefs and they dislike seeing them challenged publicly.  One person's sarcasm is another's personal affront.  

That being said - what gives a community strength and resiliance ( and what makes it interesting ) is the different points of view, the different skillsets, backgrounds, ages, sexes, etc.  I like to snowboard and what makes my snowboard work is various layers of different material that give it strength, flexibility, and edge.  America is like that - this Forum is like that!

The rules are like a lubricant that keep the Forum engine running smooth by keeping the friction to a minimum.  DFWM runs at a pretty high RPM too.  If we were all alike with the same opinions etc. this deal would be pretty F@#$^ng boring.

I have a hard time understanding people who are fearless enough to pass on an uphill blind corner on their bike but are afraid of being modded or censored on a forum.  There are some who will drive twice the posted speed without a care but are afraid to consider other's feelings about what they post.

Sorry I've gone on & on here but I wanted to vent a little.  I know this about you Red, anyone who wants to pretend to be you needs to put some typos in their messages,  [laugh] apart from that you need not apologize for much else, as long as you keep a few things to yourself that we all should keep to ourselves when posting up !

Your friend - Donald  [beer]

+1   Well said  [thumbsup]

Yep, I agree. Anyone care to join me on that? I am officially done with my BS. As I am sure all of you are. [clap]

+1 Fastwin and Cyclone

Thanks for your comments.

At the foremost of my convictions in life is forgiveness. My personal religeous belief teaches me that. I do forgive. It feels good to forgive. I forgive those who attack me as I forgive myself for thinking ill thoughts about the attackers. Another of my traits is that I am sometimes not as nice, considerate, intuitive, thoughtfull, loving, caring, or kind enough sometimes as I should be. Please forgive me for that. I become those things again when humbled. It takes realizing what is important that humbles ones soul. I am humbled by this group.

Many things that are felt on this forum by each of us. Some things are superficially taken as fact when said in a public forum such as this and taken to heart as what is said by a person is therefore what that person represents. I refer to myself in this manner. Now a days if when online you are not on your game 24/7 you stand a chance of making mistakes. I have made mistakes lately insomuch as thinking that what I say may be taken as humor on my account. I will not ever make a mistake like that again when posting. That is if I feel the need to post again. I will not be a PW anymore but more a silent observer. As you will find out Cyclone since you are a young man, with age comes wisdom and wisdom is wasted when looking backward. I cannot change anything in my past that is fact. The choices I make going forward will shape the hope I have for the future. I hope going forward no one finds reason to have to forgive me again.

Oh, as far as the typos Mr. Secretary, I see 13  [laugh].

Ok, I don't know if this has anything to do with my rant about the Octuplet lady, but if it does, I tried to go back to that thread and post a clarification. To  no avail. I apologize for any misunderstandings, but that rant was to sort of show my way of thinking about stereotypes. Here everything on the news shows this woman as the 'stereotypical' system abuser, but we really don't know her whole story so it is hard to truely form an opinion. It is easy to form an impression though.

Same thing with the euro/jap thread I tried to post this but that thread is locked too. I really like what cher, T, and El Matador wrote on that topic.
Tootles.
Steve

Steve, point the finger at me for locking the Euro/Jap thread. I did so because I don't want to be a source of contension or controversy. I see no reason, on the other hand, not to re-open the thread if people will not blame me for starting a fight. Ha! Imagine that. Really though, let's have a civil discussion.

Hey Brian (and gang)--

I'm in Stephenville actually, and am in my last and final and etc. semester of school at Tarleton State.  Still doing the pilot thing, still planning to join the Marine Corps (  [roll] ) to be a pilot for them.

Still bikeless.  Sad day.

You guys should holler at me if you make it to the Hard 8 again.

I thought you said you were done, B??  ??? 8)


Red--

As the uh...OFFICIAL holder of the pariah-having-pissed-off-everyone-on-this-whole-entire-forum-not-just-the-DFWM title, I can say this...

It's the internet.  People are people.  No matter how PC you go, someone will be offended.  The DFWM, however opinionated (and man are they ever!), is the best group of people I've come to know throughout my shenanigans (and man have I ever had some!).  Just gotta give the boiling water time to cool.   [thumbsup]

Sounds good, we will give you a holler indeed next time we are in your neck of the woods.  Glad school is going well. Hopefully you can fix that no bike thing soon! [thumbsup] Take care bro'! And yes, I am still working on being done with my BS!! It takes a long time to get out of that memory groove! [laugh]

enh...it happens! [roll]  [beer]

I'm sorry that Kev laid down the 749R not five minutes after its purchase.....

FYI people, be careful on brand new tires! Geesh...

Karma's a pregnant dog  [thumbsup]

 [popcorn]

Need some more salt on that PC Muskrat?
 ;D [thumbsup] [laugh] [clap]

nah, I seem to do it just fine all by myself.  thanks for the support though  [thumbsup]

I'm sorry that I have no idea what the hell everyone is talking about.  Sounds dramatic though  [cheeky]

Lord I apologize.......who am I kidding.   :P :-*

Hooli, drama? What drama? There's no drama here on DFWM. 
[leo] Nothing to see here now move along to the next thread [leo]
You want drama? If so it's available  [evil] just stick around you'll find it. We here at DFWM like motos though more than drama. [moto].

And btw, welcome. Hope to see you on a ride soon and I hope you can see past the bs.  [thumbsup]

I'm sorry that 2-W... Hool... probably won be able to see past the BS. All he posts is BS, especially on "other forums" LOL

Ah, I see. Hmmm...An agent provacatuer?  [bacon]

I think Marty's bikes must be cursed... very sad :P

I've no clue either, but I'm not sorry ;D

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  [roll]

You been having too much fun doing something else is all I can think of. For once and for all Jim, you can't drag a knee in a vette!

Pardon me but I don't know if you still have your moto... ???  [moto]

My moto (the skunk) is gone.  But TL still has her M600.  [thumbsup]

I read a high content of non-info into that post.

Well, that's O.K., glad you posted.  Hopefully we'll see you two soon, with or without motorcycles! 

But at least it had moto-content!  [moto]

he he he... ;D and that's important on this board!  [laugh]
Hope to see you guys soon too.  [beer]
