Ducati Monster Forum

Did you just see someone on a Ducati that you didn't recognize?
or...  Did you see someone that you did recognize and just want to let them know?

This is the place to post up the details - when, where, what - color, model, rider, etc.  And, if you were the rider in question, this is the place to "fess up."


Unknown Rider Sighting
What:  Red Ducati GT1000 (with gold wheels - looked sweet!!)
When:  Saturday 12/20/08 @ 12:55pm
Where: Bedford - Intersection of Grapevine Hwy (Hwy 26) & Cheeksparger - southbound on Grapevine Hwy
Who: Male rider, red helmet, black/grey Ducati flag vintage jacket, blue jeans[/b]

Whoever you were - we'd like to see that GT1000 up close and peronal.  It looked really sharp!

..... alright .....  who's next?!

It was a seriously HOT looking GT - unique wheels orangish/gold
Maybe we should have followed him  :-\  oh well...

 [roll] Red Monster eastbound NW Highway toward Jupiter 2:00 PM - just got a glance a blonde haired guy - Black "outlaw" leather jacket threading traffic effectively - could'a been a Hyper.  It was easy to see the smile and I think thats when I got like the double take because i hadn't paid much attention since no helmet usually not a Duc ! 

The James Dean thing looks good on you man but he died too young !   :'(

We heard a bike with a dry clutch pass by the house last night. Does that count?

Sorry Jim.  just trying to get to 14.

cdc

LOL...that was myself.  Headed to pick up a buddy and go ride for a little bit.   ;D  No Hyper...M900. 

I'm hoping to spot a white 848 in the back of my truck tomorrow during lunch ;D

dude, I'll ride it home for you!   ;D  [bow_down]

Cool !  I spotted a Duc !  You were looking good - large smile as I said ! Nice looking bike - sorry if I called you out about the helmet, it is everyone's prerogative after all !  ;D  If I had hair I might be tempted to let it fly occasionally !  [laugh] Hope to catch you at an East side flash thing sometime!  [beer]

Red ST4s westbound this afternoon at over 95 mph with icicles forming around riders fingers. If anyone finds said fingers that broke off on the road please post up soon.

What road?

cdc

I-30 westbound somewhere around the HOV lane in Grand Prairie...one can if so desired to run up as fast as you want in the HOV. don't tell anyone though.  :o

not a 7:00 o'clock on a Saturday morning.  Don't ask me why I know.   >:(

cdc

uh, that might be true at 7am M-F but it's closed on the weekend. Unless there are other HOVs open. I'm just sayin...  [thumbsup]

Easier to smile now...less bugs.  No problem...usually wear one when it is cold/rain and/or going to travel a distance.  Bier, jah.   [beer] [drink]

Hyper at NE Mall
Damn they look HOT!!

Sunday about 11:30 AM or so Red ST at an exit off I-20 west of FW.  I mean way west of FW, maybe RT919 exit.  He didn't even wave.  Imagine that!

cdc

And I HIGHLY doubt that he didn't notice us  [evil]

WHite 848 on Sunday at Spring Creek & Preston.  Whodat?

Black 999 with some stickers heading North on 35 around noon today. Couldn't tell if it was "shit-hot" or not.

We saw this bike again today at White Settlement Road and Clifford St. around 12:30 PM.

nobody I know... :P

If he had a 2X4 stuck to his helmet then it's Sh1t Hot fo sho.  ;D
cdc

Bwahaha!!!   [clap]

saw what i think was a 620 dark, bone stock, at about 2pm today at haskell and lemmon... black ducati jacket.

and i see a black 1098 parked in the adolphus hotel parking area on commerce most days when i'm walking to lunch from work....haven't seen the guy yet.  we need some DMF cards or something...

cards would be good.  the avatar would be a byatch to settle on though.....just saying

Red Monster (only saw tank and cowl) eastbound on NE Loop 820 near Beach @ 4 today.  [moto]

I was thinking the same about the cards. Hmm...gotta walk over sometime at lunch and check out that bike.

And now for something not completly different...I saw a new Triumph Speed Triple 'R' today in the parking garage. Schaaweeet! love the suede seat.

it was there again as i was walking to the train after work...it's always parked on the commerce st. side...on the curb on the right at the entrance.

and a couple nights ago i saw a guy on a 620 or 800...he stopped at the manor house so i commented on his bike and told him about the forum.  he had heard of the dml but not of this forum   :(  he seemed cool; maybe he'll post up.

Silver multi. in mansfield on debby lane. and a Red multistrada on 287 in mansfield earlier today...

had a kid come in today with a ducati monster t-shirt and ducati leather jacket. asked him if he had one he said no but i want one. told him to stop buying garb and expensive cages, pony up and get one. does that count?...........didn't think so. i could always ride by patricks work acroos the freeway and say i saw a red monster!!

I have only seen and know of one other Duc dowtown. He has a yellow 749 at TXU building. Do you ever ride to work downtown?  We should do a lunch/beer sometime man.

SS! Dude, glad to see your post. What you been doing? Riding any? Come ride Sunday.

I have been, its been great weather latly, been takin advantage of it.  Just did the tail chop on mine today...

Sunday id love to but im stuck working 11-6,  if they are slow i may be able to get outa there early.  what did ya have in mind?

I spotted two Ducs this morning, one black and tangerine and the other white in front of a cruiser (heavy mama).  Just sitting there mind you.   :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Start 'em up in the garage. That might make you feel better. ;D

I did and got high.  ;D

The wife spotted a white unicorn going up I35E yesterday evening.  Looked like Bryant8 with a helmet on :D

Was it an asian kid who drove an honda s2000?  cause i just had him in my work tonight if its the same guy... had a black ducati shirt, and black ducati jacket on and said he didnt have one...   ???

gassed-up and saw a bright red 999 s model recently purchased from AMS.  The guy's name was Ray and he lives in Frisco.  :o :o :o
I said look up Ducatimonsterlist.org  [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]
my bad but if someone speaks to Rosa, Scott or Derrick find his email and someone send him an invite over here. [thumbsup]

don't remeber the car alot. he was asian though prob early to mid 20's

Indeed that was me   ;D

I saw Mrs Ronr flying down the interstate with the top down on the Benz.  Gave her a wave and then rolled on the throttle  [evil]

Spotted Sunday 1-25-09 approx 1:30 on W. 820 southbound. Red ST4s or 1098 , white 848 or 1098, black Duc/Jap maybe in two groups. Thought it might have been Bryant or RichD or the phantom westside FW ST4s we saw on the aborted Hwy 4 run. Anyone?

Spotted a red Monster (S2R?) dude w/ a Ducati jacket and helmet on Travis Street in the Knox Park hood.  I was at stop sign on Oliver Street (Westbound).

where is Knox Park?  haha I was enjoyin some nice weather yesterday, may have been me.

Knox Street/Central Expressway/Katy Trail and down to around Cole Park, I believe.

Spied a White 646 or 1100 cruising through the Garland/Buckner intersection last night as I was leaving the grocery store

Last Saturday spotted a Red 696 off of Garland and Gaston on my way over to the warehome.  Rider was wearing the HM jacket

2/6/09

I rode in to work today.  My office is at 635 / Midway.  Dude on a red 696 rolled by my bike and stared (in envy).  He sped off with an older guy on a cruiser.  I see his bike in my parking lot every now and then.  Who are you!!!???

this thread really reminds me of the "missed connections" section on craigslist...  just sayin'.

2/6/09

183 westbound 1:30 today, you rode by me and from across the highway I knew it was love at first sight. Your gleaming cans and beautiful lines etched in my retinas forever more. Call me. I must have you.

1990 SS at Strokers tonight.  talked to the guy but he was in a hurry to jet off somewhere so I never dropped the site.  He uses it for a daily rider he says.  nice condition too.

Keller Springs and the tollway, Monster dark, fresh Termis, rider had a duc coat and a yellow helmet.  Hi andym!

So what is the offical duc wave when one is in a cage?

Play "Chicken" with him.  [evil]

Red Hypermotard this morning south bound on Independence at Park in Plano...   [moto]

couple weeks ago saw a 999 and a desmo tearing it up on Ida road... that desmo sounded awesome

spotted a really sweet Paul Smart, yesterday, Jack's Backyard... Oh, wait, never mind. It was mine ;D

Hi, I did see you but it was as you passed in front of me.

does this guy wear a bright green/yellow'ish jacket?  if so, I've seen him several times but he never waives.

His arms are probably tired from having to hold in in the wind! 

No, he had a Grey/Red textile jacket.  (Could have been a Duc jacket)
Multicolored helmet (lots of yellows/greens I think)

I would have waved but I was in a cage, 2 lanes over, in bumper to bumper... the people around me would probably just think... "crazy lady... who is she waving at..." [roll]

problem solved when you buy the new Monster.  ;D

Dirt bikers don't wave, that's for girls [evil]

Today at about 2:55PM in Fort Worth on the access road going from NE Loop 820 to I35W southbound (right in front of Cheaper Than Dirt): Yellow Monster with sweet sounding after-market pipes--750/800 maybe....

Going by AMSD just about every workday I see a lot of Ducs !  I do not recommend the Official DFWM <handsign> as told to me repeatedly by many people on this forum to my persistent skepticism!  I don't know much, but I do know people really don't like the <handsign> from me on a Beemer !  :-X 

Maybe you have to be on a Desmo for the sign to work properly !  [laugh]

Who is frequently on the tollway with a yellow helmet?  Heading south in the morning and north in the evening.

Sunday 3-1, 5:30 pm heading South/West on Wilshire in Burleson, darn if I didn't see a red HM while on my way to fill up. [thumbsup] [moto]

I saw a Yellow Ducati parked at Market St. in Colleyville like they may work there????  Anybody know this bike?  It actually has a yellow seat too  [popcorn]

I'm on the tollway between Arapaho and Legacy with a yellow helmet but it's North in the morning and South in the evening.

Red 1098s
Mansfield 157 and Debbie Ln.
Blue jeans, gray jacket and red white crazy graphic helmet.
 about 6:20pm
[moto]

Just heard, then saw, a yellow Monster headed east on Alta Mesa toward McCart. Wifey thought it was sad I knew it was a Duc before actually seeing it.... [laugh]

900SS, Red, on Main street in Frisco just before tollway wearing black helmet and black jacket.

Hmmmm.  The plot thickens.

On west side as well  ;):

PS1000

Buckner & Garland Rd. 

~630

Rider was wearing a black helmet/jacket.

Sunday 3pm:  Yellow 1098 eastbound FM 1171/Main Street in Flower Mound.  Pillion rider wearing pink Icon gear.

If it's yellow does it count?  [evil]

Counts DOUBLE  [cheeky]

 [evil] Red 996 with what looked like old OK plates - 3/17 Belt Line headed east in Addison - you wore your black helmet on your right elbow until you got to Toll Rd - you stopped & put on Helmet to go S on Toll Rd.  Jeans, wife beater, sneakers w/o sox !   [moto]

Man, that was either Elvis or Frank Zappa. I'm more inclinded to believe FZ.

red 1098 at n macarthur blvd and ranchview dr (valley ranch) at about 7pm last night.

life would be a lot easier if ams and eurosport just handed out the web address for our forum at time of purchase...

Two or 3 Duc's parked on McKinney Ave (near Primo's), south of Lemmon Ave around 845pm last night...riding by on M900. 

So who rides the 696 (red) that works at Wells Fargo on White Settlement?

I know who has a sweet new(ish) ride. Red is definately the fastest color.  ;D  [laugh]  [moto]

Riddle me this:
who the make the beast with two backs is it?

As you wish... [bow_down]

Selddir fo retsam ho sey. daeh leveb a sah noitseuq ni nosrep eht. mih ksa

2 Ducs spotted on Main Street in Frisco in front of Pizza Hut Park on Friday around 7ish.  One black and one white (Monsters??)  I know you're on here!!!!!  My family and I were eating dinner at Matitos and my 3 year old pointed and said "daddy..ducati???"  Proud papa moment for sure cuz he was right!

that would have been me and Ms. E.  [moto]

I saw a white 848 traveling south on cooper st in arlington around 2:45 today...   8)  any of you own  on here?

Cool...well you both looked good riding down the street!  YOU WERE SPOTTED!

Thursday April 9th around 5:10pm westbound on Ross Ave. downtown Dallas. Turned left (south) on Pearl a red Monster tank & frame. Guy was wearing a red / black textile jacket with red printed helmet and a back pack. He didn't recognize me and I did not know him but at the light we spoke for a moment about Ducs. Ok, I'm a goober.  [popcorn]

I saw a hypermotard today, above the tollway on Tennyson.  Ducati jacket and moto cross helmet.

I'd just finished my morning sprint up the new sweepers along Parkwood and he was waiting at the lights. He shot off when they changed but I was ready for the next set so we blasted together to the stop sign where he turned right.

 

Sat, April 11th @ Northpark...second level parking ramp across from near Macy's on 75/Central side...red and white Monster in parking spot.  Pulled in the spot also. 

some douchebag on a red monster decided to set off a ton of car alarms in the law garage this morning as he sped up to one of the upper floors.




 ;D  [evil]

I see a chick with a nice ass on a white monster on Virginia up in Mckinney every once in a while....

Photos, or it doesn't count [thumbsup]

i wish i had a nickel for every time i did that at my last place.  13 floors of pure fun.

are you sure it wasn't black pants, riding cupcake on a scooter?

(http://www.breaktaker.com/albums/pictures/transportation/FatChickOnMotorcycle1.jpg)

i love the reverberating roar. i am helpless to control my throttle hand when going through tunnels and bridges. i swear it downshifted on its own!

and you're not really a douchebag until you decide to come home to your loft after beers and fire up the bike....which is in your kitchen.

that is heroic.

I'll be sure to leave my phone out and ready to go for next time..

Red S2R northbound on Preston headed to 121 yesterday.  Forgot the helmet color, but he did wave  [thumbsup]

saw him today.  Legacy and Tollway heading into Shops at Legacy.

Yesterday early evening...  Monster southbound on the Tollway south of the Bush, Black helmet and jacket.  Soon to get a performance award  [leo].  (HP following him with the lights on...  ) [bang]

I think I know him... pretty sure he's on here...  was it a red or black HM?

I can't wait for my son to do that... he perks up when we're in traffic and he hears a sport bike near by...  guess taking him to the CMRA races at 3 months old is paying off :)

I believe it was red.

Yes it was red.

Yellow ST4 parked outside of the Carpenter rec center off of Coit road in Plano.

Brand spankin' new 1098R on 114 to 183 to 35.

I was towing a bicycle on the back of my monster so it must have been quite a sight to see us screamin' towards downtown at 100+.   [clap] [moto]

saw (heard) todd rolling through the oak lawn area last night....  i like the new jacket dude   [thumbsup]

Black 1098s on Tollway approaching NW highway 10.30 last night, white lid.

I was in the car so no wave.

Yelow Monster 750 on Sovereign Row near Regal...

Today @ 11:30ish--white 848 on Rufe Snow heading north just beyond 820....


You were at least wearing a helmet.  [cheeky]

Just now: Black/red M695 heading north on Old Decatur Rd in Saginaw...

saw a bunch of ducs in arlington last night

Funny that you saw those guys.  I did as well.  One was an ugly make the beast with two backser, but the s2r and the hyper were pretty cool  [thumbsup]

Just watched jester cruise by on commerce street...he looks fast even when he's going slow  [thumbsup] 

Hmm...well if you're on the Commerce side I'll be sure to twist the throttle a couple of times next time I ride in just to say hello  [laugh]

Still looking for that black 1098...

Spotted what looked to be two monsters and a Paul Smart going down I-35/Inwood around 12:30. 

Did the PS have the large 16 printed within a large white circle?

Oh the irony... I pulled on Stemmons right behind them just before Inwood. A young woman on a red GT1000, a guy on a PS (obvious good taste in bikes), & another lady on a new Monster... Helmets, but T-shirts & jeans. They turned off at Market Center heading for AMS.
I was appalled at the seemingly total disregard for the bikes by the cages. They were having to ride very defensively. There were 4 or 5 dangerous lane changes & 1 guy tailgating, & all that in a coupla miles :(
Please be careful out there...

ST4 joining the tollway from Legacy around 18:00 yesterday.  Ducati lid, jeans and t-shirt.


I have to change my attitude when riding, I am used to people driving like idiots but at least they know they are doing it, when you pull along side then they acknowledge their mistake. Here they have no idea, they can cut across 3 lanes causing all sorts of mayhem, if you pull along side they look at you and ask politely if there is a problem, if you manage to explain what happened you get the "really" are you sure it happened like that look.

ST4S without panniers seen in Carrollton at around 8:00 AM yesterday stopped in the inside lane of the George Bush service road Eastbound at the Josey Ln. signal light. It was red, but not Red, if you get my drift. Rider was adequately geared for a morning commute, and may have been headed for the GB onramp after the light. I only realized I had a Duc sighting at the last minute, and was two lanes to the right with traffic between us in my white '99 VehiCross, turning SB on Josey to take my son to his summer program, or I would have exchanged greetings. Carrollton needs more Ducatisti!

Yellow Sport Classic in the match.com parking garage at Douglas & Luther.

Yellow 1098 @ n tarrant & precint. Sounded great!

Also didn't read all the pages in here so not sure if anyone fessed up to that red sport classic mentioned on page one but I saw it this last week. Really neat bike. Actually seen more ducatis out this last week than anytime I can remember. 

I'm gonna start it so here goes it.

why does anyone care what people are wearing?  some choose jackets and some not.  point is, it's their choice albeit not the smartest IMO.  Do I wear a jacket on my cruiser?  NO but I wear gloves, boots and helmet (my choice).  On my Duc I always dress for the occassion but those without have chosen their path.  Maybe I'm irritable today but I don't see the point.

I take it the honeymoon is over....

Nope that's the 3rd year

Two wheels is all you need

Damn, M, I'm glad you stepped out there cuz I've wanted to wear my chinks, Olathe hightops, and leather vest on my Duc for ages!

No, nothing else, just that. ....What?!  [bacon]

Fixed it.

May I see your artistic license, please [leo]

Look at his avatar.  He is Santa Claus.  Don't make the beast with two backs with Santa.

get back to your bonfire Wicker Man

Does this mean you want me to stop talking shit about your chaps?

Kirk

Hell no!  [evil]

I luv that pic. Thanks Donald! (it was you right? If not thanks to whomever!)

your obsession with my chaps is scaring me.  fixate on the pic I posted on the other forum instead.  [leo]

I thought he was talking about my chinks! Chaps are nothing....sorry, didn't mean to thread jack!  [bang]  [cheeky]

it's not all about you ya know.  :o

Today about 1:30ish on Lemmon Ave. near Wycliff. 696 Monster, maybe black in color, stock exhaust. Rider was wearing a black (?) leather jacket in 95 degree heat [clap] [bow_down] and had a Ducati/Arai helmet, maybe an '08 version. It was going the other way through traffic so I just got a few quick looks between cars.

Tuesday 8-18-09, I-30 eastbound @ 19th in Grand Prairie around 5:40p in rush hour traffic in 103 degree a sweet looking SC1000 recent vintage in TriColor race fairing (no side number) package w/matching seat hump. He was wearing black textile jacket and pants, forgot the helmet, in a pack of riders of 3 Hardly's, a Suzuki 600, a Triumph Speed Triple R and a Gold Wing. Talk about a snafu! Sweet looking Duc. Exited @ 360.

did you video the thing?  holy shit that's a lot of info

He he, no vid but I was so surprised at seeing it (The Duc) that I sat up and took notice of what was going on around him.

Updated sighting, Saturday afternoon around 2pm or so rider exiting from Hwy 121 northeast bound at Handly-Ederville Rd. exit onto southbound Handley-Ederville Rd. I noticed a really sharp looking late '90's or early '00's 916/996/998?? Fila replica. Was not an SP/SPS though. Rider had on jeans no jacket and white helmet.      Just trying to hold it all together.  :'(

Few months back - on 75N Central there was a dude on black Monster S2R (I think) with a white stripe. We were riding with a group and this guy was by himself. No beer tray, no mufflers and a 3/4 helmet. Exited 380 in Mc Kinney and went West. We had a meetup, so we went East. Cool bike, cool dude!

I see a Monster and a classic on a regular basis on HWY 377 just south of I-20

Hmmm...don't know those in that part of town. The monster could have been CDC.

Red Duc with white stripe on Mid Cities Blvd and Main west of 121. Around 5:45 today

Last Friday on 635 North near Walnut Hill very nice Paul Smart with short pipe, and a Hyper 2 into 2 in my hometown of Burleson.  I left the first one behind on my Hper and the second left me behind in my cage. [thumbsup] [moto]

Thursday morning 8:05am 11-18-09 new 1100 Monster pulling into the Republic Center garage in downtown Dallas. I think it's the same guy that I saw early this summer on a yellow 749.

three times in a week I've seen a red 1098 on Main Street near Teel in Frisco. wobedat?

saw three different Ducs on Lemmon near Throckmorton yesterday, within 30 minutes.  2 696 (one black with termis and one white) and what i think was a red 999 with what sounded like termis... i was a ways away and didn't get to see much of it with traffic.

and i was selling a motorcycle stand last week and the guy buying happened to have a yellow monster 620.  lots of duc riders around here that either aren't aware or don't feel like posting up.

Was that u George head first into the wind with your Tron outfit on George bush? 

red 1098 on lemmon yesterday....  i didn't realize lemmon was such a duc hotspot

That was me.  That wind gets bad around 110-115, doesn't it?  Or maybe I was just resting.

U r easy to spot with your Tron suit

i'll say

(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/218/502911803_a6f566de2c.jpg)

LMFAO!  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]  [clap]

I just saw George bid on that suit on ebay.  :o

White S4rs and yellow 900ss or 750ss outside Monk today.  Wodat?

there was a white s4rs at the monk (or across the street, at least) saturday as well.

Ok, who is the mystery rider? As previously in this thread with Mr. McKraut we discussed Ducs in Downtown Dallas. Besides us two I have heard but not seen until today the noise maker coming through downtown at 8am on clear mornings. Today I finally got to see him. What seems to be a dark monster with Ohlins with blacked out cans and oddly, blacked out exhaust tips. The tank was definately flat black. The rider had on black leather jacket and black helmet and gloves. This guy must be an avid rider to ride this morning. He's somewhat of a hot shoe though. As the light turned at Ervay going down Elm St. eastwards he punched it and got the hole shot from a standing start next to (as in sharing) a car in the left lane and flew down Elm St. Anybody know this bike?

Yesterday, ~8 a.m., saw someone wearing a small backpack on a red 999(?) southbound on Central/75 turning West on the PGMT...who dat?

coming back from lunch a few minutes ago and saw "someone" on a red ST going down commerce....  sans helmet.

tsk, tsk.

Damn, was hoping you didn't see that  :-\  [bang]

Won't happen again. ;D

Red Multistrada 1000S or 1100S with termi pipes heading westbound on NW Hwy approaching Hillcrest.

'08 red 695 on my street....

Hmmm...not an official sighting ...just yet...but found this on the DiTR2010 thread...veddy eenterestink!!

Tales of epic adventure to event must top previous years.

 [evil](unamed source).... [evil]
If all goes according to plan we'll be riding cross country from the west coast on a 20 year old superbike. Because nothing there can go wrong right?

7:54a.m. - Westbound on NW HWY, at Hillcrest, again, same MTS 1000S with termi pipes and luggage

that was my 620.  I have been lurking around for a while and just happened on this post.  I guess since I have been outed and fess-up.  I have a yellow 04 620.  bought it in November of last year.  I live over near whiterock lake. 



while I am at it, I saw a 695 red frame, black or drak gray tank and such on Mockingbird at 75.

Welcome to the board! Glad to have you.

I see that bike sometimes downtown I think. Red frame stands out.

michael, right?  good to see you posting up man... you should post up with pics and introduce yourself here in the DFW board when you have time, and keep your eye on the board for meetups and rides.   [thumbsup]

right. And you are Rich?

I will get a picture of the Beast up when I get a chance. 

yup... glad to see you made it here.  nothing against japanese sportsbike groups, but i think you'll find this crowd much more weird fun all-around...   [thumbsup]

and with the super nice weather hopefully here to stay for a bit you can expect lots to be going on, so check back often

This is the DFW board, right?

One of them

I think he was referring to the DFWDucati board (sigh): "Why can't we just get along?"

Saw a Monster 696 on the corner of Main and 121 in The Colony. 

Who Dat?

Red 999 on the Tollway last around 5:30 last night.

Passed him around the 635, I picked the faster lane, and he passed me as I was exiting on NW Highway.

Was just riding down Beltline and slowed to check
out a grand opening for Back Nine. Red 996 parked out
front and Patrick 996 waved me over.
He and his pals ride on weekends. He is familiar
with AMS peeps.  [thumbsup] [moto]

Is Patrick 996 on this board? If not what board is he and his friends on that actually ....rides?  ???

He's not interested on boards, but he's got my number 8)

he sees a monster like mine at Addison Circle.

Does he live at Addison Circle.

There was a red 996 on the 3rd or 4th floor of the car park when I lived there.  I was on the 5th, I never saw anyone on it.

Hey... now that you mention it I haven't seen my red 996 lately. [bang] Must have misplaced it, at least it's getting ridden. [laugh]

Yep, at the "Circle". He said he got in Ok.

It was good to see Amy at the store today. Was it
puff pastry or FILO dough for your recipie?

It was puff pastry and sausage meat.  Amy bought it so I can make some sausage rolls, she looks after me...

Team effort [thumbsup]

White wheels and white stripe on red duc, 800 possibly from main street onto tollway in frisco

Probably Eddy.

Good call, I bet you're right

who's Eddy?  we need more peeps up this way.

Oh yeah.  Eddy.

He's got a white wheeled Duc with30K+ miles. [thumbsup]

I actually got a chance to ride with Patrick a bit yesterday (Sat) evening. There were 6 of us (5-Ducs and a 1-Honda) riding together. Great guys to ride with.

Whose sewing machine?

I wanna ride too!  [laugh]

Cool!  I look foreward to riding with that group.
 

 Tuesday 4/6 [roll] Red Hypermotard Red Gear 7:00 PM exactly turning East on Belt line from NB Midway - that you going to dinner Dan?  Just got a glimpse as I was coming S on Midway.

Then 2 minutes later Westbound Beltline @ Inwood 2 up Red 1098 ? accompanied By Red Multistrada solo rider.  ???

Mystery Ducs. They're out there... kinda like the X-Files. ;D

I have seen more and more.  We should force Marty to have the website on a frame sticker.  most people never seem to take them off anyway so it may be a great reminder.  [popcorn]

Red hyper S with an axio tail bag parked out front of Gordon Biersch in Legacy square today.

Saw a Red Monster parked in front of the Army Surplus store in Carrlton on the corner of Valwood and I-35.

Who Dat?

We need business cards [popcorn]

Saw an STx South on Midway and Spring Valley the other day.

We do need some DFWM bidnis cards. This was discussed at lunch last week. Not to threadjack but this is kinda related to the thread. Any ideas of what should be on the cards and design?? All you talented people chime in... that does not include me. I'm sure we could get some printed pretty cheap and everyone could keep a few in their wallet or on the bike. [thumbsup]

I will only pay for business cards if they have a picture of boobies.   8)

Done! [thumbsup]

Caught up with a dark Monster north on75 from
Lemmon. Fast rider and might have been a girl! [thumbsup]

WiWa?

White 848 @ Cretia's on McKinney and Harvard (just West of Central/75) this past Saturday night, around 11pm. 

Several times while riding by a big glass building I've
look over and seen a bike exactly like mine.  [roll]

Was the rider wearing tan wranglers? [popcorn]

Ha!  Your favorite pants don't fit anymore.  Weight loss made me buy new pair - blue ones this time :-*

4-12-2010  - 996/998/900ss possibly? flashed by me eastbound on Hwy 303/Pioneer Pkwy in Arlington around 5:35pm in front of The Oakridge School. Red bike black leathers black helmet. Think it was a 900ss but could have been 996/998 w/ flat nose.

Saw S4RS Tricolore with Termis.  Singleton and Loop 12.

1)  White 848 eastbound FM 1171/Cross Timbers near Bridalwood heading towards Lewisville

2)  Red Multi with matching bags southbound Hwy 75 in McKinney/far north Plano

Was this around 12:45pm today?  ;D

Just now a red 1198 bone stock heading north on griffin, turning west on elm; red and black textile jacket, black and white helmet.

Yep.  I was north bound on 75 when you were hitting the on-ramp   [moto]

Then that was me, after having lunch at Blue Fish in Watters Creek.  :)

I was test riding a possible replacement for the 695 [moto]

you better not be buying that Streetfighter until I get my fiddy bucks.  [leo]

That Streetfighter is a BEAST.  ;)

was it this?   http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/mcy/1702905837.html (http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/mcy/1702905837.html)

Nice grass...  [roll]

Thats pretty close. I'm keeping it for a while longer
I think.

no kidding...and what a nice and organized garage!!  the guy that owns this bike must really have his shit together..

  [laugh]  Nice.

You think the pot's good, you should see his lawn!

wait, i'm lost. who's is it?

Consider trades? See under "RED"



<<<<<<<(here) for further details.

Hint: you've seen that lawn and been in that garage in the not so distant past....

casa de CJ? cuz it don't look like stuart's or marty's or mine. and besides yours, i can't think of another off the top of my head.


good lookin' 695, who's is IT?

looks like CJ's 695 to me.

Saw two 999's yesterday night flying down hwy 70.....in St Louis  ;)

Yea, that's me that's posting the 695 for sale.  I just reused the pictures because they're good quality, and don't show anything revealing in the background (address etc.).  I'm more than happy to replace them if you like?

...just givin' ya a hard time.


I do miss the 695, tho....  :'(

It's a great bike, she's actually in the shop getting the 15k service as we speak.  I really have my eye on an 848 or a Daytona though....

Sweet!

Visit us every now and then and keep us updated.  Better yet, try to make a meet and/or ride sometime.  [moto]

Will do.  When do you guys usually ride?

They are either posted up on this board or (as boobies pointed out--heh, that sounds funny) on this board: http://www.dfwducati.com/ (http://www.dfwducati.com/)

Let's see, wonder how many Ducs I'll see out on this gorgeous day. :)

Yesterday: April 24, 2010
Place: Mudbug Boogie
Bike: Ducate 848
Belongs to: Steven Slagel
LOL!!! We were together "helping" to rid them of all that crawfish. Yummmm!

Hmmmm, spotted a good number of Ducs today:

996S
999 Alice kit
999 Xerox kit
M620 w/ Termi
S2R1K w/ Specialized S-works on the back
S2R1K w/ Arrows
848
HYM1100 w/ Touring package
900SS/CR
S4R w/ PC'd parts
S4R w/ Arrows
M695 w/ Hedman exhaust tips
M900
S4RS w/ Termis

Thanks to everybody that came by the shop today .  I'm looking forward to seeing the big group shot

only spotted 3 today. :(

yellow 748/996 on I-20, eastbound, in Arlington

red 848 (parked)
'98 M900 white with tricolore accents on tank and tail (parked)

U went to Marty's house didn't you?

yup. needed to see this beast

Start posting pics NOW

I didn't take my camera, we were going to the Rangers game - I had Cuervo Club level tickets.

Its a 98 900, built VeeTwo heads, FCR39s on velocity stacks only, termi titanium full system, dp monoposto rearsets (same as RedRacing's and Style&Performance, very similar to the AG Hammer rearsets I used to have) lots of powdercoating, custom tank paint (white with tricolore red/green accent stripes). Looks cherry. A few mileage wear marks here and there, and thats it. Tires are certainly toast though, awesome amount of balled up rubber around the edges - certainly had some fun on the track.

695 with hedman tips!

speaking of hedman tips, i think that's going to be a part of the ol' 900sbk build - one out the belly pan, one out under the tail, a la desmosedici race pipes.

(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/355/img2073qt0.jpg)

Corrected!

Brilllinat red 750 Paso (probably the one that was for sale at Mods and Rockers) on westbound FM 455, 2:30pm.

In Muenster, it was German Fest.  Didn't see a single Duc - however - every Cruiser ever minted was there... whole town was one long row of motorcycle  :o  [moto]

Sunday about 3, westbound on 635 at Marsh a Hyper
with geared up rider.

Squid on tollway and Keller springs south bound on an 800ss

This morning coming into work on the HOV between Arlington and Downtown Dallas. Sweet looking RED 1198 stock exhaust. Rider had matt black helmet with red flames, a Ducati Tricolore textile jacket, jeans and sneakers. Went all the way into downtown and turned right on Griffin by the Fed Courthouse building. Hmm...

McKraut?  ;D [thumbsup]

Muskrat, it was great to meet you in-person down at AMS yesterday afternoon. Take care.

likewise.  now come ride with us.  [beer]

You got it!  8)

You better show or Dax may give you the nickname
Texas GirlGuy.  ;D
just sayin...

3 cats is now STICH

I definitely couldn't allow this to happen. So count me in. LOL!!!   ;D

 [thumbsup]

Today at about 5:50PM--Yellow Monster @ the corner of Lake Worth Blvd and Roberts Cut-off...  [moto]

Today, 12:30 one yellow 916, one HM 1100S with 6gal
tank, one blue Beemer 1200, one Hyper EVO...

Yes, I was at AMS ;D 

You're cheating! [cheeky]

 [moto] Yeah I saw a Skull paint Monster ! Mightyfine !   [bacon]  We were gonna bring someone lunch but he ate his Golden Arch burger & fries breakfast in front of us  [coffee]  Fuel City Tacos were great !! - ( well I'm not sick yet  [laugh] ) Which We ate in front of Bryant8 haha! Good to see y'all !  [beer]

Saw Robert (don't know his last name...) on his trick Monster (with the custom painted tank) going eastbound on Mockingbird the other day. He's a bud of Patrick and frequents the Dubliner. I think he still works at the Honda Powersports dealer in Allen assembling bikes. Does that ring a bell for anyone? I know it was him because I recognized the bike and he never wears a helmet.

isn't he the guy who collects bikes too?  If it's the same guy I tried buying an Interceptor from him years ago.  Grey hair like you right? ;D

Yeah, he has hair (unlike me) and it's gray. He is meticulous about his scooters. A clean freak. He's got the groovy Monster, a numbered DNA "back in black" Sport 1000 and maybe another Duc. Can't remember his entire stable. Cool guy. It's been a while since I have had a beer with him and shot the shit. But that was him for sure the other day cruising Mockingbird. [moto]

That must be the guy I met at the Dubliner on
photo op day, sans helmet.

Today at about 5:30, red Multi heading east on Parker Rd. in Parker.  [thumbsup]

Well Hello there Cajun! LOL. I'm getting back out to ride a bit more within the hour.  [thumbsup]

LOL  Nice to meet ya!  I was in the cage at the time, but I'm generally the guy with a BRIGHT yellow jacket riding a red Hyper.  Hope to see you around.  [thumbsup]

Most definitely Sir. Hope to see you around.  ;D

Yesterday evening in Arlington: M695, M1100, 620SS, 900SS, and an 1198S  [thumbsup] [moto]

I'll claim one of those!!

620SS?

Owned by snlsmith

I saw his thread about the bike on SBN/sportbikes.net forum back in February 2009.

why would there be a thread about it?


(no offense to steve intended)

Why would you post that? [cheeky]

what did the 695 look like? anyone i know?



because he felt like starting one......WTF does it matter? start one for yours if it's that big a deal.

No kidding.

Not sure since my vision was blurred and my brain rattled from the evil roar coming from the pipes....  [evil]

Not me. That sure narrows it down.

i meant, was he having problems or something.

No. It was just a thread about getting the 620 and fixing it up. Just that kind of thing. Mods, paint, etc. [moto]

ah. i gotcha now.

I stopped by AMS and met TxGrillguy and Cajun too.
Oh, I saw some bikes too ;D

Guy came in on a Piaggio MP3 shortly after you left. Makes me laugh (and secretly want to ride it) everytime.

Good to see you again!   [thumbsup]  I gotta stop staring at the new Multi... I'm starting to want one.

It was good to meet you and to shake your hand Tres. I look forward to riding with you, Cajun and and the gang.  ;D

Red 09 848 in my apartment complex. Cardell
is the owner. Hope he will show up on here.

Black Monster (maybe 620?) heading south on 35E in Lewisville last night at around 10:30.  It could have been red, it was dark and I was tired.  ;)

Paso--just now in downtown Minneapolis

Dark Monster with clip-ons, 80's decals, bar-end mirrors, and a blue open faced helmet on Gaston or Live Oak near Downtown Dallas.

told you it was a cool place 

This guy is bad-ass!!
(http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad235/petros2r/1b94df0c.jpg)
He's the one responsible for me getting a Monster... Long time ago, @ Dream Cafe

Robert is a frequent Sunday visitor to the Dubliner, I've talked with him a couple of times there. A friendly guy, he knows ingenious ways to detail Ducs. His are always pristine.

is that the tech from Maxim Honda?

 [thumbsup]

...and a Hyper S at 3 today just north of downtown Minneapolis.

Smart people too ;D

Saw a monster at strokers.  Looked for the owner to no avail, guess he got beat up by the Harley crowd [coffee]

They've got a BBQ pit there, right?

 [bacon]

during the day they do, not last night when we were there.

They may have beat him up first but it's the BBQ pit i was worried about...

 [cheeky]

Solid steel, it's fine.   :o

My neighbors' red 848 at the local Tom Thumb.
I'll see if I can get to come on a group ride.
That should sink the hook ;)

Cycle Gear employee had his white 848 at the west-side FW store today when I went to get some Pro-grips.

red motard headed south on 360 about 8:30 this morn. put on a helmet at least, please!!

three Ducs just outside Bristol, TN, coming back from the tail of the dragon.  BASTARDS!!!!!

Yellow monster, yesterday at about 2:30ishhh--heading north on Denton Hwy, 'bout a few blocks north of 820

You couldn't look in ay direction without seeing a Duc in Monterey this weekend. I sat at a table next to Randy Mamola at dinner this evening. I saw him giving rides on the the Desmosedici Biposto this afternoon, and it was friggin' ridiculous. :o

I can honestly say I don't think I would sit on that bike while Mamola was driving it. I am sure is would LITERALLY scare the shit out of me. I have heard comments from people he has given rides to say they would NEVER do it again.

For the record, I am against two up on a sport bike.
Risk your own life against the cages and gravel.

I don't think anyone who has ridden with you will ride cup cake on your bike.....promise.  ;D

Blame Pipeliner1978, he taught me [thumbsup]

A black monster 620 in my CRG bar-ends tonight.  [moto] ;D

Ok. Play the trump card ;D

Saw an older red Monster and a white 848 today with some other bikes at the gas station. They were at the intersection of 455 and 75. Someone there whistled when I was at the stop sign, I waved and went on. I had been to ECR and was heading home. Good to see some Ducs out riding.

I whistled.  You should have stopped, there were 7 of us

I saw the bikes there, couldn't tell what the others were from a quick look. I'll try to ride that area more often, maybe I will see you guys again. I didn't stop because I had been riding for awhile already, was ready to get back home.

Pretty hypermotard at bicycles Inc in hurst.

fixed ;D

spotted a Ducatisti on 455 in spandex  [puke]
going to have my memory erased now.  >:(

Believe me, a Harley rider in leather is far less palatable.

Good to see a friendly face on two wheels out there. (Elizabeth that is)  ;)

At least it wasn't fitted with conchos

Elizabeth fitted with conchos? Yeah that would be weird and probably uncomfortable for her.  [laugh]

I'd never hear the end of it

I'm so confused...

no need to worry, I was too when I saw Will in tights.  :P

I was out coaching our Leukemia Lymphoma team in Celina. Stopped at a stop sign with a long line of Harleys filtering by and lo and behold, Dax & Mrs. Dax are right next to me. Small world.

Some wear lots of different hats, I wear many different pants, spandex being one of them. God help me if I ever mix them up; cycling 75 miles in leathers wouldn't be pretty.

 [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

get some monkey butt powder, it works miracles.  ;)

Your dressing like one of the village people is starting to make some sense now...   :o

A white 848 @ Motorsport Ranch, Cresson TX Saturday Oct 9th.

A yellow 999 @ Motorsport Ranch, Cresson TX Saturday Oct 9th.

A yellow 748 @ Motorsport Ranch, Cresson TX Saturday Oct 9th.

Cedici driving in Cool Springs, TN.....I followed with all windows down just hear that pregnant dog roar, that is until he jumped on the interstate and flew like a UFO.

yesterday I saw a yellow 900 monster going around the north side of dallas 0n 635 about 5ish.  then again on 121, 114, 170 man that bike gets around!  oh this bike was in the back of a red dodge pickup pulling a u-haul.  [evil] [evil]

Break out yer earlplugs!! The LYD is back in town. Welcome back man.  [thumbsup]

its great to be back home!!  

saw a new white Multi on hwy 11 just past Westminster with a GIVI top case.  About 20 Ducati's in the parking lot waving him over and he kept on going.  :-\

About 40 bagillion on our ride today [moto]

I saw a red Multi today at 4pm SB on Jupiter in Richardson, black gear maybe a white or light colored helmet..........?

Anyone?

Unfortunately it wasn't my Multi you saw today but Richardson is indeed my stomping ground.

fe fi fo fum.

Cleavon, I knew it wasn't you, the rider was not nearly large enough!  ;)  Besides I know your jacket.

LOL! I wanted to ride this afternoon but just couldn't break away long enough to squeeze one in. Baby Gurl's getting restless out in my garage.  ;D

I totally feel your pain, man.   :'(

this sucks.  sand trucks are laying another 3 feet of miserable dirt for us to avoid the next three months.

Well, it is suppose to rain next Wed/Thursday so let's hope it's a massive one to help wash that stuff away.

Saturday 2/12, 5-ish in front of Grapevine Mills Mall on International Parkway heading towards the D/FW airport:

Monster, silver frame/red tank w/ carbon cans.  Rider was wearing a helmet  [moto]

I saw a Yellow 999 Southbound 75 HOV lane at about 10am today and it wasn't Lisa.

Anyone?

Here's a weird one for you. May not be a Duc sighting but it definitely was a motorcycle sighting. :o

http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Drivers-report-speeding-motorcycle-without-driver-on--117779293.html (http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Drivers-report-speeding-motorcycle-without-driver-on--117779293.html)

Must have been going so fast the G forces just vaporized him.   ;D

Joking aside, I hope the rider is OK. 

Probably some douche trying to stand on his gas tank in the middle of traffic, giving the rest of us bad names.  I may be wrong, but I'm probably right.  I'm sure he stumbled off, the bike kept going and he ran for his life so he wouldn't be jailed.

That's my interpretation and I'm sticking to it.

Did they find the guy?

I'm thinking Jester is on to something. I had similar thoughts... or maybe he/she was drunk and fell off. No follow up info that I know of. Still a mystery. ???

There was something in the Dallas Morning News or WFAA about authorities finding a helmet and wrist watch back up the road from where the bike was spotted.

Dumb shit(s)

I've not seen nor heard a follow-up to this story yet either. Hmmm....

red 1098 in keller on saturday, rider had a helmet camera.

I was on Keller Saturday, with my GoPro helmet cam, but on a 2008 Multistrada 1100S. :)

Hmm sounds like a case of what my pops calls CRS, I could be afflicted.  Where you at the arthouse apartments?

Two ST3's on lower greenville today.  Anyone we know?

white 848 on the northbound tollway just past 380 riding with a ton of jap bikes.

I was at buddies house in Grand Praire off of Bardin behind Joe Pool Lake Saturday night.  Looked like a red 1098 with Termis.  Sounded nice.   [thumbsup]

Haha! You're A-Okay, as I wasn't at those apartments. I DO love riding through the Keller Springs tunnel just West of Dallas North Tollway. Termi's and tunnels go very well together. Hahaha.  [thumbsup]

Dark Grey and Red ST4 - Keller Springs @ the Tollway

Love the red wheels!   [moto]

(seen it a few times on my morning commute)

On the 455 run today; red Hypermotard in Celina at the gas station (please, please, please don't be tresgatos or I'm going to feel like an idiot for not stopping  [bang] )

Red Monster 696 in Flower Mound all the time  ???

Not me. I'm missing left mirror & handguard so I'm
easily identified.

no more Duc dealer in Little ROck.  [thumbsdown]  saw no Ducs............booooo
althought the new Norton Commando is calling me all kinds of sweet names. 

Why?  no one buying ducs?

Out Of business

I hate to hear that.  >:(   

I saw a red Multi 1200s parked in downtown Whiteright and later saw it again on FM 697. Looked stock.

saw a red monster at  up n smoke BBQ joint on 377?

I saw two 1100 Monsters today on FM 816 East of Leonard. By the time I turned around and caught up to them they were on 78 headed West. I didn't feel like chasing them all over so I turned back. If you guys ride out this way often I wouldn't mind riding with you. Nice bikes!

That was Mhanis and Mario.  
We will do 697 again your way soon and eat at the barbecue place again.

(edit)  we would have stopped for you but Mhanis has been a real dick lately so be thankful they didn't stop and you didn't incur his wrath.   [evil]

That's cool. FYI I went to the Kart Track in Caddo Mills yesterday afternoon. If that's any indication, You All should have the place to Yourselves when Ya'll go. No one was on the track.

is it worth it?

+1... I'd love to know, as well.  My wife used to work in that area, and it's kind of... hmmm, trying to find a politically correct way of saying 'stink hole'.

It is worth it. The karts are not shifter karts but they are pretty fast, handle and brake well, also are much better than the karts at Speedzone. You probably will not find the accelleration impressive compared to a bike. I think you can rent the shifter karts but they more expensive.  It is a nice facility, everything is pretty much new.

Yes, that was us, and I am not a dick...........HE is a bastard, but that is beside the point.

I do get up that way a bit, were you on a black Monster? I thought I saw one but IIRC we were just coming out of a corner and I was paying attention to the road!

Mark (non-dick)

Guilty mind speaks

Hey, you're the dumshit that went to the WRONG meeting place!!

see........crabby old fart. :P

Or is it from oven riding :P

white newer moster on 30 east bound around fielder. helmet shorts and tshirt,  11am ish???

Red Monster at Jupiter and Spring Creek @ 5:40pm...  [thumbsup]

Red Hyper @ Watters Creek @ 8:30pm.

Red 1198 w/Termis parked in front of 8.0 tonight, obviously checking out Blue Velvet Disco (or something like that) playing on the outdoor stage. Anyone?

Red 1198S, Luther @ Westchester in Dallas, 10:45am. That bike is CLEAN and sounded wonderful pulling in.  [thumbsup]

Red 999 heading North on K Ave at Spring Creek in Plano at about 6:30.

White Street Fighter Fitzhugh Turtle Creek area.

Black Diavel on 455. Sounded sweet!

Dark gray/silver ST/4 on Wichita Drive in Flower Mound.  Pristine with nice sound  [Dolph]

Dark monster where I normally park downtown @ first baptist parking garage corner. I was running late for a meeting so I am not sure what year, but I did notice it had the upside down U suspension in rear. Maybe it will be there when I leave today- not likely as I always seem to be the last bike left. Working for the man...

Just saw a yellow Monster northbound on Prestonat 635. Wearing full gear [thumbsup]

Saw a Monster northbound on Midway today. Stock left mirror and a bar-end on the right.
He was in a hurry and gave the finger to a scooter rider at a light.  ???

 [clap] nice why ??  

Just in the gift-giving spirit of the holidays I guess   [evil]

I have no clue why the finger was used. Good looking bike though.

I too have been the recipient of a random middle digit. I was just sitting there on my Duc at a red light at a large intersection, minding my own business. Two highly intelligent individuals in a pickup truck went by at about 50 mph. They had very little time to even see me sitting there at the light, but the passenger apparently had a direct connection between his eyes and his finger because he had already used it on me before they cleared the intersection. I laughed.

Some things aren't meant to be understood.

Not a Duc, but at the moto riding class at VV mall, a nice Aprilla 1000.  [thumbsup]

Two Tards today going west on Main Street just past Teel (Little Elm direction) playing "catch me if you can"

Black/Red frame 1098 parked next to me in downtown Ft Worth at Ojos Locos today,  I was on the Red S2R1000.
Any of you guys in here?

I saw my first Pan-e-golly on the street in Allen this morning. Dude was with three other sport bikes of various make. Schwing!
