Or are you sporting a set of these:

Pic woulda been way better if I took the jacket off the tank. Parked in front of Salt Lake on the way to WSBK/ SBK last year. Not as good as what I've seen here, but hey, it's in the wild.
Nice pics ! Very much inspiring indeed.
I live by the harbour of Antwerp (Belgium, Europe).
Always a good setting for some nice pics. Too bad I'm not much of a photographer myself. What do you think about this one ?

Hey much in line with the idea behind this thread, I saw this on Ducati's web site. Seems they're working with Davis Bull publishing on a book about the Monster.
Does your customized Monster leave fellow Monsteristi gasping in admiration?
Have you taken your Monster to an exotic place, a famous landmark in your city, or a cool, unexpected spot that would astonish and impress your fellow Ducatisti?
We are looking for you!
David Bull Publishing, in collaboration with Ducati, is looking for photos of coolest Monster in coolest places to be featured in a forthcoming book about the Monster's history and the unique lifestyle of Monster owners.
If you're interested in participating, jfind us on Facebook at this page and upload your photos of customized Monsters, Monsters in interesting locations, and Monster owners and clubs enjoying their bikes, with a brief description. If your photograph is chosen you will receive credit in the book and a free copy.
What are you waiting for?
Make yours go down in Monster history!
Looking at some of the pics here, and knowing some of the great ride stories I've seen on the forum over the years, we shold be able to give them some great contributions.

is the construction done on ortega yet? I stopped going up there about a year ago after having to wait half an hour while they made it a one way road for the work being done..
Yes, thank goodness, construction has been done now for about 3 months. Pavement is
very nice. Only Problem so far is what lurks hiden in said canyon.

Damn... I can't ride until September but I recently got a tripod and have been doing HDR shots as my new hobby. I am insanely eager to get out there with the tripod strapped to my back for a ride up to the mountains... [bang]

Sure is....its one of the best roads in this area to test yourself on, until you get stuck behind one of those cars. Then it feels like the longest ride ever.

about the wheels: when I first bought the bike, i wasn't digging the wheels too much. i wanted to look meaner and have them powdercoated in black. now i'm starting to dig these white wheels and loving them more everyday :)

Thanks Goduc, thats my fav also.
If any of you are ever in Denver, get a hold of him to go out and shoot some pics of you & your bike, he is an amazing photographer (and rider).
David, post up the new pics of yourself, they kick ass !
Oh, and as for the cleaner for wheels. PJ1 super cleaner in the aerosol can. It wont damage anything (including paint and rubber) on your bike, but strips away damn near anything, such as the stickiest chain of lubes.
And for the bicycle people, it is the best degreaser I have used...and I have gone through a lot. The one thing it does not work on is anything water based like sport drinks or gels, go figure,right?
Edit: Just saw you on the action pics thread Goduc. [thumbsup]

It's the 178 through the canyon. It's right about the half-way point between Bako and Lake Isabella.
An even more fun road is the 155 up to Glennville.

I rode a few hours yesterday and got completely lost, very good day for a ride. Eventually I came across a place called Crotched Mountain, it was a subtle reminder that I needed to find my way home at some point and seemed like a good turnaround spot... I really wanted to keep exploring though.

Living in Arizona leaves most days looking like that (well...a little less green and a little more brown) - but sadly, working keeps us from getting to enjoy those days very much.
Nice looking color scheme - it works really well! [thumbsup]

You're just getting into the best part of the year down there. I know that when I'm down there at Thanksgiving that I'll be wishing I had my bike with me.

Beautiful bike.

Could be flagstaff! I'm just guessing this morning.

And yes... I'll give you credit for it. :)

Based on whos Monster it is, and the trees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus) I believe that it would be a shot from Australia :P.
Lower Arizona doesn't have trees like that. I miss the midwest and places with green! [thumbsup]

*sigh*
Eucalyptus (pronounced /ËŒjuËkəˈlɪptÉ™s/[2] ) is a diverse genus of flowering trees (and a few shrubs) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Members of the genus dominate the tree flora of Australia. There are more than 700 species of Eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, and a very small number are found in adjacent parts of New Guinea and Indonesia and one as far north as the Philippines islands. Only 15 species occur outside Australia, and only 9 do not occur in Australia. Species of Eucalyptus are cultivated throughout the tropics and subtropics including the Americas, England, Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, China and the Indian Subcontinent.
So, yeah, pretty much, Lower Arizona... or the US... don't have forests like that! [thumbsup]
They're cool trees, notwithstanding the requirement of some to have bushfires to spread.

Good Australian beer that, too (Coopers Pale Ale - comes from South Australia. The only good thing come from SA).
I was going to call you out and end the thread jack, but saw that beer was sitting on a Monster and well....had no comment but this.

In a few months it'll be brown as buggery here too...so yeah its not the weather, its the working that prevents too many days from looking like that....

Don't get your hopes up. All of the first series of pics were taken on a road called Tantalus. It's pretty nice, with some really twisty bits, but is only about seven miles long. And those seven miles are really the only sustained twisties that we have down here.

Jess,
Great pics, what's the elevation there?
Surprising to see no snow.

Jess,

Thanks! Hopefully we can head back up there in a month when the weather turns good again. We took those in .... August? of last year, thats why there's so little snow. Timberline is at 6000 ft, the mountain is a little over 11,000 ft.
Here's what it looks like with snow (taken at the beginning of this month):

i was going to post similar pics glad you beat me to it.
but does anyone have a pic of the license plate of the crazy woman that threatened to run us off the road
White Spar Road, three or four miles from my house in Prescott, AZ. The real trick with this shot was trying to get the bike positioned without dropping it (and me) down into the ravine that drops away for 100 or so feet on three sides.

Cool. I've got BSTs, and all sorts of other goodies, slapped on mine as well. Waiting until I get up to VA, and to DucPond, before I crack the engine open and start doing that sort of work.
If we are ok posting Duc's other than just Monsters, here is mine.

There's an 1198R Corse Edition in the shop right now too. Two S's already out the door.
Josh,
Where did you go and who's that with you. Don't remember seeing anything from you on the local board about a trip? You holdin' out on us?? [laugh]
wasn't me. had those pics sent to me by the two guys on the road while i was at the shop. We got that Multi 1200S Touring set up with a nice bar mount Garmin 665 - they've called a few times from the road while they were riding from their helmets to tell us how it was going.
Where'd they go? Just wondering. I'm stuck at home sick on a rainless weekend so I'm trying to enjoy other people's rides vicariously. [bang] :P
northern AR.
Wish I was there right now! [thumbsup] [moto] [drink]
That 1198S Corse is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just moved to Colorado. That license plate is probably the best mod I have and ever will do to that bike.

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but your tire is going to nail your safety inspection plate when the rear suspension compresses.
lol after that shot i was walking the bike backwards and i heard a bit of a rubbing sound and thats when i noticed it was alot closer then it was when i first relocated it there. i think when will was working on the bike he had to pull the exhaust and that messed with the angle of the plate. but i bent it back out of the way and it should be all better now [thumbsup]

Riding was fine. Seeing the gauge however...not so much. Didn't matter. Gauge was only a tachometer and the bike had a rev limiter on it...

chopped leos look sweet
Thanks Brix. It was a really easy mod. But there was all this weird sound killing material in there. I don't know why they'd do that so I'm running straight pipes now. Although when I leave for work in the AM I have to push her around the block before starting up.
love the ride shot, what kind of helmet is that?
Bellagio your bike is sweet. are the stickers orange or yellow????
also i have never been a fan of highmounts on a monster ...until I saw those chopped Leo's!!! that bike deserves to be a BOMb...write it up!!!!!! send it in!!!!! (to ducpainter i think)
[drool] So hot your monster Bellagio!! [thumbsup] [thumbsup] That inspire me!!

hey kocheroni, where are you located at?
Hi Raux, I started and ended the trip in Amsterdam.
You are in/from Germany, right? Where about in that lovely country?
kaiserslautern
Interesting, my godson lives in Bensheim and I am therefore once or twice per year in that area.
I love to go around the Odenwald when I am there. Much more fun the roads and less speed monitoring compared to the north of Holland.
Thanks for the [bacon] guys! The whole concept of the bike was to be as basic as possible. I need to update my signature with all my upgrades/mods. I really haven't put a whole lot of $$ in to my Monster. Just used a lot of time with the Dremel. Measure twice, trace, and cut once is definitely my motto with my moto.
gh0stie/lswzabo - The helmet is an AGV Stealth with some decals I picked up from www.decal-orations.com (//http://) They're the reflective yellow color. Having a dark I want to make sure I'm seen at night and still have a great looking color during the day. With the yellow rear shock and lettering on the tires as the only other color on a dark I decided that'd be the scheme I was going for.
Thanks for the compliment spck. I'm glad my bike is visually appealing to more people than me!

there's a famous run down here, Johanneskreuz... but pretty heavily monitored on some parts. there is a turn people set up on screaming for pegs to scrape... I have not done the run. like having my license. plus my bike was not stock and they always check pipes etc for being stock there.

besides you know you would want to take your SC to Europe and try some of those roads again.

I'd love to go back there, and take the SC as well. But keep in mind that I was riding a 916, then a 996R when I lived over there. Not sure how well the SC would stack up.

Hey buddy!! Actually, I haven't been riding all that much. I really banged up my knee at work, could barely walk for a week or so, and I haven't been able to bend it enough to get back on since then. It's almost all better, or better enough to ride, so I'm hoping to go on one soon!! Gongrats on the new job man!!
Oh, and great shot btw!

The fork reflectors are probably staying for a little extra visibility, but I gotta get around to taking the frame stickers off.

Thanks for the suggestions, I may have to look into getting some reflector tape for the wheels, and I definitely need acetone or something else to get the stickers off. My parents have a heat gun so I may just make use of that when I see them next.

The heat gun is a must. You'll need acetone or something like it (goo-be-gone) to get the sticky residue off after you get the stickers off.

I'm glad to see it wasn't snowing. ;)
How hairy was the ride up and/or down on the dirt road portion?
Not *too* bad. The ride down was a breeze because it was late enough that there was no traffic coming the other way and no one in front of us. The ride up was a little freaky at times. The dirt portion was less scary than I thought it would be, but the lack of guardrail and the several thousand foot drops definitely had me puckering up a bit. :)

Ergos similar to my SC, but with more power and a good bit lighter.

your SC now? or back when it was all stock?... cause you know, there is a slight difference ;D
Halfway between the two. The front end height (top of the top triple) of the new blue should be the same as what mine was stock, but with zero rise clip ons. My bike had hi-rise clip-ons stock, but now I'm running zero rise with the triple height being 20 mm lower than stock as well.
Pics today after a wash/ride. I think it's finally time for a tail chop.

IndustrialGrrrl, I've always loved looking at your bike since first seeing it back on TOB. Beautifully done. Spck31 is right, you should submit it for the BOM.
BTW - Just ran into some pix of it on Custom Fighters that I hadn't seen before. Been a few changes over the years. Nice shots of you on the track too.

Could you get the Alpina's in a 4.5 or did you have to go to a 5.5?
Quote from: ollie on September 24, 2010, 02:10:32 AM

They're available in both sizes. I went 4.5. Didn't want to deal with the tighter fit of the 5.5, or any extra weight. Plenty of grip for the way I ride on the 620, and should turn-in better as well.

That's like having an R1 with a decal of an art deco style logo with an eagle in the design, or maybe a bird.
Do you think that's a bird?

848 Dark spotted on Third Street in Cambridge, MA.
While taking this picture, a parking attendant asked me "Is that your bike?"
"No sir, just don't see many 848 Darks in Cambridge."
"I know, right? I was gonna ticket it, but I don't want to deal with the karma."
So, whoever you are that owns this baby, I saved you a parking ticket with this picture [drink]

im embarrassed to ask this but ummmm.... how can you tell the difference between the evo and a 2010 dark from this pic? i tried looking for a steering damper in the photo... not sure if thats what i see or if its just something else and the angle of the camera is playing tricks on my brain.

Ding ding ding!!! The damper is there, but the calipers were the first thing that jumped out at me.
damn my untrained eyes... i didnt even think to look at the calipers, and now that i am, i still cant tell the difference :'(
time to googlet some close up pics, and maybe even stop at SSD and see if they have one on the floor.

Ha ha - me too.
I had check Yoyodyne to see if/how the standard radials are different from monoblocks.
It's the bridge-over in the center rear of the calipers, as far as I'm able to figure out.

They held up against the sharp gravel and potholes, which was all I asked of them.

No need for that, as technically you were right. It was a dark 848, just a dark 848Evo. ;)

Is that spider as much fun as it looks
I rode it the other day. It is different than a motorcycle. Turns more like a ATV, obviously...But I had a BLAST riding it. Very Quick and stable. The front end is a trunk for all the stuff you wish you could carry on your bike. I would consider a used one for two up riding. And the have a new RT (touring) version that looks like the love child of a Jap liter bike and an Electra-Geezer Glide.
so it doesnt have any trouble keeping up with the bikes?

they are rather quick...sound good too with a Two Brothers X-Metal pipe on em!
Came up on three of them tooling around Frederick last weekend, riding with a guy on an 848. We rode behind them for a few miles then got entirely bored and blew by. Can't judge a bike by its rider, but I can't say I was overly impressed.
Artful, sounds more like the rider than the machine...I have seen em be rather quick in the past with the right person at the controls....

I agree completely, I've known plenty of folks with extremely fast bikes that thought I was a golden god on a friggin 695 when a capable rider would blow my doors off... They just looked boring though is more my point. It looked like they were riding a snowmobile without the fun of jumps and hanging the tail out. Very static riding position. I'm sure they're fun to ride, but I'll take two wheels any day just for the full body immersion.
But we're getting off topic! Look! Ducs in the wild!

I have an 09 M1100 as well as an 08 Spyder RS and they both fill a niche very well. If I am out to just ride then it is the Duc every time but if I am grabbing some groceries or taking a passenger then the Spyder wins. That is not to say the Spyder is not exciting to ride because it is. The Rotax 998 pulls well and is a good match for the rest of the machine and If you have some weight over the rear wheel for a good hookup, it is pretty fast. Penske, Elka, and others have developed some pretty nice suspension options to make it really stay flat in the corners. The RT is a bit of a boat but is very cushy.

Fortunately the rocks aren't as bad (and the speed's not as high) as the photo might make it seem. It's a small circular lot close to my old job I'd use for lunchtime low-speed cornering practice.

Shouldn't Rudolph be guiding Santa thru the fog, instead of having Santa leading the way?
Cool picture, nevertheless [thumbsup]

Normally, I'd agree with you, but Rudolph don't know his way around Bako like Santa... ;)

Not a great pic of some dork sitting on my S4R. This is rural SE Texas. That white patch in the field behind is a flock of about 1000 snow geese here for the winter.

Funny what triggers memories of adventures past.
Last time I moved, I came across my Visitor Centre maps from my last trip to Nova Scotia and ended up spending an afternoon reliving the trip.

Gorgeous.
Several months ago I was leading on a ride with a good friend and thought to myself "I'm a gonna git one a those pics with my bike in the middle of the road..." I came to a dead stop...and was almost run over by my buddy! He used some ninja-like quick maneuvering and barely missed me. He was PISSED! But mostly glad he didn't hit me. ;D
This is from last weekend, White Spars, AZ:

I know it is a trick of the light (coming through the spokes), but that rear tire looks hell-of-deformed at first glance!
I never noticed that....I still don't really see it....oh we'll it was all good - no deformity!
Monster Dave i like the helmet,what kind is it?
Thanks! That's my KBC Airborne helmet - it saved my life but sadly can no longer be worn. I loved it though, the P-51 Mustang theme was done really well and I loved how the pinup model on the side was named "Miss Behavin" [thumbsup]
Going with the military theme that I love so much, I replaced it with the Akuma Ghost Rider helmet.

I kept mine - not only as a reminder (to myself) how sacred life is, but also as an example to people who would ride sans helmet.
Taken a few hours ago on Highway 33, north of Ojai, CA. Lots of snow in the mountains over the last few days. Very bright and clear day today.

Would love to ride up there with you guys sometime, but be warned, my bike is very thirsty and suffers from micro-tank syndrome. I can only get about 70 miles out of a tank before I'm worried about running on fumes.

You may very well be spot on. LYD moved from the DFW, TX area to Ohio and then WV. The other scooters are local DFW friends that made the trip to WV for a visit and rides.

That ain't wrapping. It's Jet Hot ceramic coating. [thumbsup] How's that holding up Norris? I've been real tempted to have a couple of my bikes exhaust treated by them. Just been too damn lazy to take off the pipes and send them. Still looking good after a few years or not?

Still looking okay? I guess so. Only the matte red coating was only rated to 1300 degrees. The coating on the headers up near the exhuast ports if flaking off due to the heat. The rest looks fine. Jet Hot has a coating rated at 2000 degrees, though I'm not sure what the color options are.
I think if I were to do it over I would have all the old coating removed and clean the metal very well. Then I would hit the pipes with multiple layers of VHT header paint. Even if it flakes off, it would be a breezed to touch up (I've done this before).
Anyone know how hot the headers get at the exhaust ports? Under 2000 degrees? I would think so. If I could get the matte red and could be certain that the coating was rated for the real temps, I would pop the coin to have it done again. That's a big IF.

+1 I completely agree with MadDuck and I really like your bike Lore. Just curious as to the significance of the number thirteen to you. It can be a very powerful number. Some people think it is bad luck, while others think of it as a lucky and powerful number. I fall under the second group of people. Also, it is a very well known gang number in certain parts.
So, like I said I am just curious.
Went for a ride today along Route 5 west of Williamsburg VA and then some back roads in the farm country near the Chickahominy River. Got caught in an afternoon downpour and took refuge in a tractor barn behind an abandoned farmhouse. Here are some pics.

Mike, I really like the way your sprocket cover resembles the wheels on your bike. Also, the Arrow exhaust always looks good on the S2R Monsters.

Thanks for the compliments LL717 and Travman. This farmhouse had all kinds of stuff just sitting there--what looked like perfectly good tractors sitting in the barn. And those two junk cars. There were even unopened boxes from Bass Pro Shop stacked up in the barn. Must have been some bad circumstances there and it looks like the house has been empty for quite a while. Maybe a neighbor is using the barn to store stuff. Might take a drive in the pickup and ask around.

+1 I completely agree with MadDuck and I really like your bike Lore. Just curious as to the significance of the number thirteen to you. It can be a very powerful number. Some people think it is bad luck, while others think of it as a lucky and powerful number. I fall under the second group of people. Also, it is a very well known gang number in certain parts.
So, like I said I am just curious.
;D
tnx
actually former owner of this bike made the '13'
although that number was allways around me :) kinda destiny played with me
I was lookin for a long time for a bike(almost every day on adds sites), and this one just popped out and i had to have it (even I'm not so much of a ducati fan, more aprilia ;) ) now I'm enjoying it more and more every day
I could say that this number for me isn't bad at all ;D
P.s. Don't have gangs here in Croatia ;D
In some circles 13 represents the 13th letter of the alphabet, which is "M", which stands for marajuana.

See what I mean, numbers can have a lot of meanings to a lot of people.

This is a fellow monster-isti in Germany, Andreas of hey-tec Motorradtechnik. I got his very last "Bremsmomentabstützung Corsa" recently (for a small fortune) - a floating/braced ultra-small caliper rear brake setup, using the same wee-bitty caliper as on the Supermono (not the billet Brembo Race caliper, the normal little one).
(the part: ) (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YfV6HISqUIc/TeUKFywhskI/AAAAAAAAG54/K_6wGgwYGcY/s400/HeyTec%252520Corsa%252520Braced%252520Caliper.JPG)
Here's his M900 with an 888 tank to help hold him in position while on the track - coming from the days before the CA-Cycleworks MTT-43's came out (and with this stimulus to get the thread back on track, I am giving away the top secret plan for my bike: I have been hunting, unsuccesfully, for an 888 tank to do this to my M900 after seeing this)

Yea. That looks good.
I'm going to beat you to it now.
I would assume there's a fair amount of modification to be done to said 888 tank. Esp. for an FI bike.
If you are going to try to beat me to it, i may withhold all my good know-how on how to make it work. Ok Ok Ok. It hinges in the same spot, will prevent some access to the ignition area so that needs changed, and you may need to do some seat modifying to make it look tidy.
Tell you what, if you find one, let me rent it for a few days/week so i can get it copied by ETI and have a lightweight version with normal carb-outflow spigot and tank low-level indicator hole.

I just don't think I would have an easy time at all putting it on my S4RS.

where were those taken?
It's in the Angeles National Forest, North of Azusa, CA. More specifically, it's at the end of Shoemaker Canyon Road, which splits off of East Fork Road, which I get to via HWY 39.
Both photos are of the same spot, just looking in opposite directions.

i don't quite see how this exhaust is an upgrade?
normally it exits on the "pillion" area
or, you can get a belly pan exit
why this?
The GP exhaust option exits both underseat AND at the back of the belly pan.
Quote from: DRKWNG on June 25, 2011, 08:32:16 AM

+1. Vertical two cylinders have common exit undertail (comes w new carbon fiber tail section), Horizontal two cylinders have common exit through bellypan (comes w new carbon fiber bellypan). All titanium, slightly greater peak power and powerband moves up slightly. Sound is a bit different than the OEM included race exhaust (never you mind the originally installed baffled version that nobody kept). MSRP is at $10k. Same setup as the relevant GP desmo AMS has one if you need it: really enormous box that doesn't weigh all that much.
There is no 'bellypan exit only' exhaust for the desmo.

They were taken a few miles north of Boyertown Pennsylvania. The mowed area is actually a model airplane flying field (the 'other' hobby, haha) on the grounds of the Padre Pio center in Barto, PA.

My beater S2R1k and my buddy's AWESOME Sport1000:
Fixed it for you. SC (Sport Classic) was a model line, not a model.
Nice rides though. [thumbsup]
Yeah, thanks.
Riding both bikes back to back feels insane. Same engine, totally different feel. Even down to the shifter linkage. The Monster feels a lot 'tighter' on everything.
Really? My Sport tracks like you wouldn't believe, and I think it handles MUCH better than a monster. What forks did your friend put on that one?
848 front end, 749 wheels F/R.
Stuff like the shifter being a longer throw (easy to swap to a Monster linkage) and my buddy's throttle needs to be tightened as right now it's a little sloppy/loose.
I liked the feel of the Sport1000 a lot... it was a ton of fun. Just... different from a Monster, that's all.
And I like my S4Rs a lot more than my S2R1k, btw. The S2R is lighter and feels great in the city, but for hustling around, can't beat the power and the Ohlins.
I had to make a quick run to the local Food Lion to pick up a bottle of wine and saw a guy on a 2000'ish 748. What got my attention was his Leo Vince exhaust... It was odd, because there are so few Ducs around this area. So I stopped to chat, and snapped a pic of the bike before he left.

My S2R1k... The Fox! This bike is a ton of fun. It's a good 30 lbs lighter than my S4Rs. I have it out here in Brooklyn for when I come visit my friends. I mean... I need something to ride, right?

Yes. Those appear to be some sort of stretchy slipper.
And I'm pretty sure he's not wearing socks, either.

Those shoes are called Tom's. Its a great cause, for every pair of Tom's shoes purchased the company will give a pair to a child in need.
Probably not the best choice for riding though.

The children in need won't get any more Tom's slippers on his account when he grinds his toes off in a crash and doesn't need to buy another pair ever again.

His socks match his riding jacket and gloves... [cheeky]
And just to clarify that I am not a hypocrit... if you look at the reflection in my mirror, you see that I have a mesh riding jacket, even though it was mid 90's and high humidity.

That's a nice looking helmet, I just don't like the joining of the terms "motorcycle helmet" and "bloodflow." The former term should be seen preventing the latter imo.

Berkeley Plantation, built by Benjamin Harrison IV in 1726 and bithplace of both Benjamin Harrison V, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and William Henry Harrison, 9th President of the United States. In 1862, General George McClellan headquartered here during the Union Army's withdrawal to northern Virginia. It is also where General Daniel Butterfield originated the bugle call "Taps."

Unfortunately, the castle was closed for some restoration work, so could only get as close as the entrance sign. For those who are interested, here's a linky to the castle's history.

Thanks, I'm glad you like them.
You can get an alarm clock on eBay. [cheeky]
The pics were taken on Charity Flats Road, which is what Santa Anita Blvd is called if you ride on it North long enough. It's not a very long road before it dead ends at a park in the mountains. It's also very treacherous: many very technical turns, a number of which have sand in the lane. If you go up that way, be careful. Be very careful.
[Post Script] The first time I rode up that way I came around a corner and hit some sand. I was going rather slowly at the time, but my front end washed out on me and I started to go down. Suddenly the tire caught the road again and I didn't fall. However, when I finally stopped the vinyl on my seat was deformed into an * where my butt had been.
Here are a couple more from the same ride/shoot facing South, with Arcadia, El Monte, etc. in the background...

This pic would make a great "Caption" thread.
"Emerging from the court house after paying his speeding ticket, he discovered a meter maid writing him a traffic ticket. Having had enough of all this bullshit, he started the bike, hopped the curb, and let loose with one of the smokiest burnouts the county had ever seen, all while throwing dollar bills in the direction of the officer."

Here we see a Hypermotard in it's natural habitat. Unfortunately, it is such an efficient hunter that it's prey has all but been wiped out. Wait, there in the background... and unsuspecting male human... watch has the motard observes it's next meal... it's getting ready to pounce... "VROOOOOM CLACKITY CLACK CLACK". Oh my lord, it's beautiful and horrendous!

Ehhh; if I'm honest, I'd have to say I'm more partial to Nick Cave's rendition. Never been much of a Dead fan.
Anyway, just a couple from the return trip:
I skipped the ferry crossing and opted for the long way around; turned out to be the correct choice. That's Lake Roosevelt in the background.

I don't think it is a Black Lightening. The lightening came with a solo racing seat and very few were made. From Wkipedia
QuoteAvailable to order, a standard Black Lightning was supplied in racing trim with magnesium alloy components, special racing tyres on alloy rims, rear-set foot controls, a solo seat and aluminium fenders. This reduced the Lightning's weight to 380 lb (170 kg).[citation needed] The 998 cc (60.9 cu in) air cooled OHV pushrod V-twin specifications were always based on standard parts but upgraded with higher performance racing equipment. The Black Lightning had higher strength connecting rods, larger inlet ports, polished rocker gear, steel idler gears, racing carburettors, a manual-advance magneto and was available with compression ratios between 6.8:1 and 12.5:1.[3] This resulted in 70 bhp (52 kW) and a top speed of 150 mph (240 km/h). Only 31 Black Lightnings were ever built before production ended due to Vincent's financial problems in 1952

We actually have more snow covered alpine area in winter than the whole of Switzerland , mind you with global warming
and our low altitude 1500 meters there wont be much around in 50 years [thumbsdown].
The roads around this area are very good , thousands of corners very little traffic in summer but you have to be careful
around sunrise and sunset , hitting a 120 kg kangaroo is not going to end well and there are millions of them !
You will see one dead every few kilometers .
Oh and Wombats too that would be like hitting a rock the size of a sheep with really short legs.

the sharpie monster was also up there... that was pretty cool, and another bike... that one with no front forks and controls the front wheel with these cables/rods. i forget the name of who makes them though. i never saw one of those before either.

haha, yeah... i go to bear a lot because it's the closest. i try to keep the rides shorter during the winter, it gets dark too fast now and without the sun it gets a bit chilly for me. kind of nuts how right at 5 it's pitch black.
i rode around there this summer, some great roads. looking forward to the next riding season already ;)
and not the bimota... just found it, it was a vyrus
Sorry, couldn't resist since all your pix are up there. ;) I know you put a
lot of miles on your 796.
I'm a bigger wuss than you by far incidentally. Now my rides are between 11 AM and 3:30 PM. Yesterday it was windy but 75 F here, so I did a lunch ride. The days start at 38 F even when they get into the 60 F - 70 F range and the shadows in the trees are bad by 3:30, so very hard to see wildlife or what's in the corners. Can relate to the chill when the sun hides and it's a lot warmer usually in VA than NJ/NY.
Never saw a Vyrus. Was he embarrassed? ;) Another answer to a question no one asked?!
Have fun!
Hey thought,
Greetings from northern NJ here.
If it was a vyrus consider yourself lucky to have seen one on person.
Those bikes are ULTRA rare, handmade and very pricey.
I rode a Bimota Tesi for a while and I can tell you they handle like nothing else in the world.
Looks like we might have a few more NJ guys here, might want to keep in touch until the winter rolls by to organize some rides.

Not a terribly "wild" pic but I liked it none the less

yup, it's the lookout point from perkins... was up there this weekend, bumped into another member here (positivecarry) when he stopped by to check out the bike and asked me if i was thought from the forum. haha
the sharpie monster was also up there... that was pretty cool, and another bike... that one with no front forks and controls the front wheel with these cables/rods. i forget the name of who makes them though. i never saw one of those before either.
I remember seeing your Streetfighter then! I was up there this past Sunday, though not on my Monster sadly. I was with a friend in his car. And I was there around the time the bike with the no forks pulled up too. It was a Bimota Tesi 3D. See, I snapped a photo of it :-)

I'd love to do Death Valley in December!
I've only been there once but it was a memorable trip. On Hwy190 I had the opportunity to verify that what they say is true - a GL1800 Goldwing will do
exactly 136mph. [thumbsup]
I think the best thing was looking up at the sea level sign from where you took this pic. Very, very cool !!

Aside from the obvious, I'm not sure. The "road" is actually the 2nd bridge over to TMI. My ass got chased away quickly about a minute after the picture was taken. The
large yellow gates to the entrance were open and I parked the bike about 5 feet inside. They didn't like that 8)
It warmed up just enough to take a ride today.

Travman, your bike is easily up there as one of my top favorite bikes!! [thumbsup]
Travman,
Are those Sil Moto megaphones on your bike? How "bassy" would you say they are? I am actually looking to buy them and upgrade from stock and yours is the first Monster I've seen with those on!
Thanks.

Those are Sil Moto megaphones. They sound pretty much like the Termi's I had on there before. I'll try to get a video of the sound soon.
travman luv the pipes want a set for my own.

I know this isn't a very good video, but this is all I have at the moment and this is basically what the bike sounds like at the moment. The Termis that were on it sound almost exactly the same as the new Sil Moto megaphones. Listen at 0:08-0:13. You can hear some of the bass sounds.
2005 Ducati Monster 1000s with 1123cc kit. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB_N5k0IRhc#)
I'll get a better, more recent video up soon.
Seriously nice bike. Looks great, sounds great!
I've always loved the Termignoni sound so I'll start looking seriously at the Sil Motos. Just gotta decide high mounts vs. low mounts. Too bad I can't have that wonderful dry clutch sound on my 620!
been looking forward to doing this- from my weekend in some icy fog

As you can see in these shots of RobS bike, the roads 'Down Under' leave a lot to be desired :P
And I must say that these photo's must have been taken a while back 'cos it's been raining down here since before Christmas, and yep (looks out the window) its still raining... :(

That's the only thing I miss on my 796, that tuned megaphone sound. Doesn't need to be loud, just has to sound like an old V6 Ferrari F1. ;) Maybe not possible to duplicate in the space allowed or no company appears interested in doing it.

You're blog is really interesting with a lot of beauty shot.
But the thing i really love about your adventure, it's done with an sr2. Few many people tried to discourage me; ...monster is not for long travel, blahblahblah.... I did exactly the opposite, find a way to strap my luggages with all my camp stuff and made a 9 days trip on east coast last summer, alone. For the first time of my life, i was feeling true freedom.. And i'll do it again.
I' m really happy to see other people get in to adventure with there monster, and learn from them. I will follow your path on your blog.

Totally agreed! The feeling of freedom, that everything you need (food, water, shelter) is right behind your back is like nothing else. And I think traveling alone amplifies that. The Monster is truly a versatile machine. In fact it's also a great conversation starter out there, where most of the bikes you see are touring Harleys, BMW's, etc. It's nice to know that you're not like everyone else. I wouldn't trade my 26k+ mile, beaten-up S2R for anything, knowing it's already taken me through so much.

Haha thanks a lot man. I wish I had your tank bag, is that the DP one? And what kind of exhaust is that? I can't quite tell from the picture but is there less of a gap between the midpipe and the engine compared to stock (i.e. added ground clearance)?

Yeah, DP tank bag. I thought I saw Bagster still making one?
The exhaust is the stubby Temi, I just took the carbon sleeve off because it looked like crap with the mid pipe. I've been toying with taking it to a muffler shop/welder and having them clean up welds a bit. And there is definitely more clearance, I'd say an inch or two. The mid pipe really hugs the bottom of the engine.

My friend and I ventured out in the light rain today. I was kicking myself the entire time for leaving out the rain liner, but it was a good time. The highlight of the ride was this railroad bridge built in 1902. Decent bends on the way to and fro the bridge - if I had more skill and the road had less potholes it would've been some damn good [moto].
Bike: My 2011 796 ABS
Car: My friend's Lotus Elise

Random trash brought to you by the rednecks that go mudding down on the river bank I suspect. It's a shame they've trashed a pretty cool spot.
That bridge looks awesome to ride out to, and take pictures of. [thumbsup]

It's about an hour south of Oklahoma City, OK. I'll have to go back whenever the weather is nicer. There's about a ten or fifteen mile stretch around the bridge that is narrow, treelined bendy road. It's rare to find good curves with elevation change in OK, so it was a surprise. I don't see many ducs around here, but if anyone is in or around OKC I'd be up for a group ride.

^ Nice. What headlight did you use? I like how it is nice and tight up against the forks.
It's an Aztec 8 headlight. I liked the style of the old monster headlights, and the Aztec8 is pretty similar.

Wasn't crazy about the new headlight until I rode one. Somebody was working in the wind tunnel. The combination of the headlight, bikini fairing and stock mirrors makes for some super clean air and very little helmet noise. I'm 5' 8" and ride with a Schuberth C1. My 6' 3 1/2 son wanted me to scrap the stock mirrors which are barely adequate until he had to ride the bike 80 miles at speed one afternoon. He rides with a C2. He's now a believer too. ;)

It's an Aztec 8 headlight. I liked the style of the old monster headlights, and the Aztec8 is pretty similar.
Is that the 7 inch version? How easy was it to install? I have a feeling hiding the bird's nest behind that would be a pregnant dog, but I love that look.
Yeah, it's the 7 inch version. I can't speak for the installation since my local wrench did the work. There's a compartment in the back of the headlight, so all the cables fit nicely back there.
Went out with riding today, that's ak1nza's s2r in these pics too:

@coffeegrinds, awesome man. That thing looks like a modernized version of my bike. One of the only new Monsters that I've actually liked looking at. Brilliant job.
That's the Moodna Viaduct in Cornwall, NY in pics from thought FYI.
It's the highest and longest railroad trestle east of the Mississippi River.

I wish I could remember. I did it about a year and a half ago. It wasn't VHT or Grill Paint... I remember that much. It WAS rattle can though. There's a lot of good recommendations on this forum. I'm sure someone can help and post a link.
One thing I do remember. It was flat black and it was very powdery.
It was a beautiful evening yesturday so I took a spin out to Slea Head just beyond Dingle town fab ride out roads are tight and twisty and dry. Here are a few pics.

At the end of the gravel road leading to Area 51 / Groom Lake. Step beyond the ominous signs and... well, I'm not sure exactly what would happen. Men would rappel down from black helicopters and swiftly hand you your ass, I presume ;D
I snapped this photo and quickly got the hell out of Dodge. Don't report me or anything, but technically I wasn't supposed to photograph the area, as you can read from the partially-obscured sign. I wasn't too eager to stick around to find out how strictly they enforce that rule.

Right in my backyard!!! That is my local playground! Hope you enjoyed it.
To the LEO question, depending on when you're on the BRP you might and might not see them. I've been hauled to jail by them before. They don't fool around. However, there's times I've been on there for miles and miles and not seen a one.

Actually, I don't live there, I just go there on some weekends since it is an excellent and very popular canyon ride for sportbikes - the S4R Showas just feel so smooth even there. You might be referring to local bikes (messenger type) which mostly are small 100-125 cc and yes, their suspensions take some beating.

Many of Italy's street in historical centers still has old stone pavement. My home town historical center (within the Roman walls) is entirely stone.
Monsters must be used to them ;D

you know...this pic just invites someone...somewhere...to add a little photoshop magic :) .... im envisioning tinker bell wings :) ...all you need is faith & trust & pixie dust ;)
That pic reminds me of the young man that passed away that posted a pic of himself "jumping" his Duc. That whole thread made me laugh.
Too bad he is gone. :(
it's pretty funny even without photoshop.

Indeed, it is a nice place. If only the roads weren't covered in snow/ice/cinders for 7 months out of the year! But eternal sunny days in summer somehow always seem to make up for that!

Thanks JM. Two best things I did was to get rid of the udder/stock pipes and paint the engine and beltcovers black. I know thats not much compared to many of the bikes here but it totally changed the look of the bike.

Oberon - Taralga rd.
God's country out there. Though I have fond memories of having to make a really quick trip back from Bathurst and managing to make it from Oberon to half a km from the servo in Goulburn on my Monster. The pushing sucked.

so how was your trip to Cali?
Quoteso how was your trip to Cali?
The trip was great, definitely going back to the coast sooner than later. The PCH and canyon roads were awsome, seafood was great, and some big city drunken nights topped it off. I need to prove to myself that i suck at surfing every few years too.
Saturday Morning 6:30 A.M. started out with a half day ride starting downtown L.A. heading up to Ojai, CA.
Planned on being back by around 2 P.M. The twisties on 33 were so good that we got carried away and decided to head towards the water. Long story short, we got a little extra carried away and followed the coast up to Santa Cruz arriving at 6 P.M. did the same thing in reverse the next morning.

Here is the route we took
http://goo.gl/maps/daLb2 (http://goo.gl/maps/daLb2)
Honestly, those were some of the best roads I've ever been on.
I couldn't get over how nicely paved, banked and twisty those roads were.
I went out with the local DOC from Lancaster, PA area. It will most definitely become an annual trip for us though so I will keep you posted once we have plans for next season. [thumbsup]
That stretch of 250 is pretty unreal, no? I used to really like 33 until I ventured a little further down, and then found heaven.

The stretch of 250 we did was my favorite part of the ride. It left nothing to be desired. Awesome technical turns up and down the mountain, great rhythm, long sweepers into the valleys, beautiful scenery, lots of passing lanes, no entrances onto the road, etc... that road has it all.
33 just past Brandywine lake was insane.
I think our trip for next year is proposed September 4-8. We'll see.

I think the Marchesini forged wheels from the Hyper Evo are the better choice. Optically and weightwise. But as always a matter of taste.

Anyways, I've finally started organizing all the pictures I took, so they'll be up in a thread starting in a couple days.
After all that mud, finally another monster makes mine look clean. ;D

After all that mud, finally another monster makes mine look clean. ;D
BTW eric, what handguards are those you have installed with the bar end mirrors??
Haha, just doing my part.
Those are Barkbusters Storm S5's, you can find them here:

They are quite easy to install and come with a spacer that is perfect for fitting bar-ends.

The thing on my filler cap is a mount for my Bags Connection tank bag. Here is a shot of it:

Yea, the bag is kinda pricey but I love it. It doesn't contact the tank at all and even thought it's small, expanded up you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in it!
I think I could use one just like it. Here's hoping I don't make the naughty list this year!

This was a super tight low speed maneuver FYI. The radius is about 10-15ft for a complete u turn. I wouldn't be taking a normal corner like this.

Just out of curiosity, how would you compare the 796 to your previous 696? Some "old" Monster people here might find that "illuminating". 8)

Thx!
I love it but I have a few issues, seating position is a bit off (even though I've switch seats), making it slightly less comfortable - haven figured out how to fix it yet. Suspension seems off - this is probably specific to me, getting it adjusted next week and we'll see. Power is great and it's much prettier :)
What seat have you got on there now? Do you have an inseam problem? I fitted Tech Spec tank pads on mine which help at low speeds. I'm 5' 8" with a 29" inseam. http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/282951-1/Rt_-Above.jpg (http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/282951-1/Rt_-Above.jpg)

Not a good idea Dexter, the problem is that as a motorcycle rider, and a soon to be 1100evo owner (congrats on that!) once you've been to the land of eternal sunshine and nirvana for riders, getting on the plane to go back home is the hardest thing you can do.
I lived in NorCal over 20 years ago and I miss Cali everyday. If my wife and our family would move I'd be back there in a New York minute. Especially when it's 20 degrees in February, my Ducs in the garage and the only racing to watch on the TV is taped MotoGP from last year.

Beautiful. I like the Marchesinis on that 696...is only the rear wheel Red?
i didnt know the stig rode a ducati!
I tried the stock seat then picked up the low profile one. Recently I put on the Rizoma rizers (the small ones, which actually lower, not rise). Still an issue. For some reason it feels like I'm stretched out more than usual which is odd since the specs are so similar to the 696. Going to try rotating the bars a bit next or even installing risers that rise...

Awesome pic! I used to work for Oakley. That place is insane.
Took a few hundred miles to ride from Sacramento to San Simeon and back North almost to Fort Bragg, Almost nothing but twists for three days. I am a happy but tired boy. Mostly waiting around for my slow older buddy on his Honda Shadow. It was worth it though as I did not have to carry my own luggage!

Then what happens when the bike goes down?
Knock on wood that it doesn't.
I fix it?
That thing is like hood bras, or engine guards.
But then I never understood people who leaves plastic wrapping on their couches either, so it must be my own thing.

This year our base camp for 9 days was in Edolo, where we found also fine bars and trattorias. We named it the camonica run and rode Stelvio, Gavia, Vivione, Tonale, Aprica, Salven, Mad. di Camp. Croce Domini, Val d'Ampola, Lago d'Iseo, Lago di Ledro, the garda, Bondone .... Each of them is brilliant.
@Ungeheuer: You're welcome! [beer]

You would be surprised how many of those yachts are for sale down here!! The owners rent them out for company events or for trips to try and recoup some of the money it costs to store or upkeep them. That's what this one was doing when I took the pic...company party

Nope. You can also ride a cafe'd twin or i4 from the 70's/80's, accompanied with a flake Biltwell helmet, flannel shirt and a Dickies shop jacket. Don't forget the facial hair and the flyer to the terrible rock show that serves only PBR in cans.

We have got to meet up and have you lead a ride.
Let me know when & what type of roads! I'm not a super fast rider, more of an explorer & adventure rider you could say. I Work the next two weeks (incl weekends) and have a couple weeks off after that. Otherwise I'm restricted to weekends. I'm in Waynesville, NC for planning purposes. I also have plenty of room for a trailer & tow vehicle and possibly an extra bedroom in necessary.
JM
Probably won't be back up until Labor Day weekend and we usually stay at my inlaw's vacation house out in Franklin. Will let you know when we have something planned to see if you can make it.
Frankin is nearby, not even an hour away. Just keep me posted on when you're in the area.

Not familiar with 211. Good riding up there? You were lucky to beat the thunder home. Rained like mad for 30 minutes ~ 5:30 PM in Goochland!

I took Hwy 33 out of Richmond to Elkton which isn't a bad ride, especially when you go through Shenandoah Park. From there, I took Hwy 340 to 211 and followed it east to Warrenton, with detours along the way to visit some vineyards. The stretch that goes through Shenandoah Park again between Luray and Sperryville is especially good. I even saw two black bear cubs come out of the woods right by the road (but didn't wait around for the mama bear to make an appearance). Luckily, I missed the rain entirely with nice weather the whole way.
the artist that did that mural just painted one on the side of my restaurant as well. It by Stormie mills and is a part of the ongoing g40 street art project. Killer pics!

Next time you're out that way, make a run down 250. The stretches between Bartow and Monterey, and then to West Agusta are pretty nice.

Thanks for the tip...I didn't know Hwy 250 runs from Richmond all the way up to Sandusky, OH. The stretch from Staunton, VA to the western edge of the Monongahela National Forest looks great. I live in Yorktown, so would probably base out of Staunton and make a full day of it. Another possibility would be to base out of Waynesboro or Nellysford, VA and hit the various roads in the Blue Ridge area.
Perhaps a DIVA (Ducati in Virginia) is in order....
There are some great roads in VA and WV ~

Hahaha unfortunately life has had to slow down a bit, living in the OC and working the 9-5 circuit. Thanks for the inspiration though. Mt. Whitney might be a wee bit too hard. The elephants definitely will go on the list. As for glaciers... at the risk of injecting too much seriousness, they're melting:

Life always seems to get in the way of adventure, doesn't it? Well, I look forward to your next one, whenever it comes.

I can't help but think that that bike is the Monster in mid-life, all bloated up and fat. But with more money ;D
Decided to try and get to a Valley I saw from the road, unfortunately it was all fenced off. But this pic is for sure a Duc in the wild and out of its element. First pic is outside Agua Caliente General Store and the second is trying to get up the valley on a sandy gravel stream bed..no fun!

Beautiful pic! [thumbsup] Looks just like the ride I did this weekend along the Delaware River. I meandered at 10-20 mph for fear of catching a pile of wet leaves, gravel, and/or crap apples on a tight turn. But I didn't care, fall foliage and empty roads made for great riding, even at grandma speeds.

This stretch of PA Rt. 32 by any chance? ;) Used to be a fave of mine early on a Sunday morning before the boys in blue woke up. [leo] Very scenic part of Bucks County. http://binged.it/1fbJ0jm (http://binged.it/1fbJ0jm)
Nice snap JM. Where do you find all these parking spots? 8)
This was the 4.5 mile gravel section of NC197 a bit south of Burnsville, NC. 197 is an awesome road, but you either have to turn around and backtrack a really long way or just deal with the gravel.
I make up parking spots a I go... I usually on such remote roads encountering more than a few cars is unlikely [laugh]

Trip to Seattle last weekend... wifey went shopping with sisters, I was left to fend for myself. Popped in to Ducati Seattle. They had an 1199 Panigale S demo bike (with Termis), and offered me a ride. How could I refuse? [evil]

Never saw a Koala, but our Unimog driver swerved off into the roadside bush to avoid running over an Amethystine Python. It was pretty cool, both the driver's will to NOT harm the snake and seeing it!

Moronic location?
South West of Western Australia. Hard to get to, for you.
One of the more interesting roads, although like most of them, not one to push on.
I grew up on the east coast of Australia, southern part, which is a paradise for bikes by comparison. Came to this side for two years, been here now for 15. Whole different riding experience, much flatter, much bigger. But pockets of pleasure and beauty are there for the finding. And traffic commonly sparse. Has its compensations. :)
Do I wish for a bigger fuel tank? You bet.

There are a lot of negatives about South Florida - high cost of living, hurricanes, snowbirds in the winter, Spanglish...but if there is one redeeming quality is riding weather almost year round. Yesterday was a beautiful day - crisp, 75 degrees and a beautiful sunset. I had to take Gossamer to celebrate 7300 miles. Sorry my northerner friends...wish you were here.

Add to that the heat and humidity. No A/C in a leather jacket, at the very least...ouch!
And the roads are all straight.
The closest thing you might get to a winding road is a highway on ramp or maybe Old Griffin Road, heading toward A1A.
Sorry, just ragging on South Florida. [beer]

Yeah I'm afraid it may be over to you ... but somebody may be able to advise on security settings ... I can see the message:
"duca123 does not have anything available to you."
So security setting is probably right ... you can probably change the view setting of any one photo in an 'advanced settings' or something similar. But that is beyond me ... somebody else should be able to help though.
I guess I'll have to figure what I have going on with the security settings. Buckethead, I'm copying the URL from Flickr for the image (doesn't seem to be working). I tried right clicking on the image as well but that didn't work. Must be something with my account settings
Any suggestions to a technical ignoramus like me would be much appreciated.....Evidently fish biologists aren't good at computers
Try photobucket!
Spanglish is one of the things wrong with South Florida? WTF?!? Learn to embrace the multiple cultures that make up this country. I'm surprised to see a racist comment like that on this forum. Spanish has the same roots in Latin as Italian. If you had any familiarity with the etymology of the US version of the English language you'd know that many common words are derived from Spanish & many other languages. Plus Florida was acquired from Spain. Este Cabron es muy bruto. Poor form.

Kids never know much REAL history. The place was a sand spit and what few Spain-iards there were lived in St. Augustine. The British never bothered with it because not much useful could be grown there.
BTW, most of the Cubans I know who piled into Florida to escape Castro speak far better English than average "Americans" these days and are running Coca-Cola, et al. currently... 8)
The acquisition of Florida was part of the Adams-Onis treaty where Spain ceded Florida and the US recognized Spanish sovereignty over Texas. As we all know Texas also changed hands later the worst part of that story was the acquisition of Tony Romo.
so the correct answer is syphilis?
where are the bike pics?
who's on first?
Let's not muddy this thread with posting pics stuff please.
AK Ducati it really is simple from flikr.
Go to the pic post thread and I'll explain it.
Sorry about putting my query in here! I'll go back to the pic post thread and see if I can figure what I'm not doing right.
A quick pic of the beast with the SW Motech "Daypack" fully extended. Nice bag! It held my electric jacket, a freeze out wind layer, heavy gloves, sunglasses case, wallet, phone, keys and a small bottle of visor cleaner. Not bad at all!

Woah, I've never been there but I happen to know that's pretty close to me. I live up in Dixon, where are you from?
Im in Oswego. This is on the road to Starved Rock which is a pretty good ride for the area. Are you going to MotoBlot in Chicago in 2 weeks?
I was just down at Starved Rock a couple weeks ago on mine, got a speeding ticket coming home... [leo] :(
Not sure I know what MotoBlot is?
Dressed up in her sport-touring clothes, crossing Lake Roosevelt last week on the Gifford-Inchelium ferry.

Which Cortech bags are those? They look nice, and seem to be rather spacious.
Not that wild (though some would say all of Australia is wild!). Definitely a Duc.

They're the Super 2.0's. They're great bags; collapsed, they're nice and tidy and when expanded, I can easily fit a week's worth of clothes & other miscellany into 'em.

I just took my Duc up to meet & camp @ Burnside Lake with some buddies weekend before last! We usually head to lower Sunset Lake area, but road wasn't open yet (I think they just did)
200 miles, followed by 6 miles of dusty azz washboard rocky dirt road... brutal, and totally worth it!
beautiful up in dem dar woods.

What kind of headlight you got on that Monster Josh? V-ROD ??
If it is, it looks better on the Monster.
My untrained eyes says it is a V-rod headlight. I would love to know if it is bright.....
I make the beast with two backsing hate my stock headlight even with aftermarket bulbs it is little better than a candle in a strong wind.
Not wanting to stray too far, but it's amazing that I can put a fancy bulb in my old girl's headlight and it's not bad. I hope that's fully resolved on the new bikes.
The V Rod light does look great and reminds me of the Brutale.
Agreed reminds me of the brutality as well. I've wanted a V-Rod headlight for a long time but they're so damn expensive.

Yep, its a HD Vrod (or Nightrod) headlight. If you look at my brother's bike parked next to me, you'll notice that we have the same headlight [thumbsup] His is OEM since he has a HD Nightrod.

I never did a side by side comparison, since my stock headlight was broken when I bought the bike (it was totaled in an accident). I'm running a regular halogen bulb and it seems to be plenty bright and focused enough for night riding. My one complaint is that the bright beams SUCK. Not sure if that's because of the bulb, or the housing.
Would love to see some more pics of your bike with that headlight from the side if you got any.

That's the Carillon, which is the World War I memorial at the South end of The Boulevard (right around the corner from Byrd Park/Shield Lake). The bike is coming along, new bars and seat on the way based off of your suggestion.

Yes, I never know the names of any roads..., but that's the route I take to the "Nickel Bridge". :) Story of the name here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_Bridge)

Finally got to ride on the BuRP today (Blue Ridge Parkway in Central Virginia):
(http://www.seirindojo.com/images/burp2.jpg)
(http://www.seirindojo.com/images/burp1.jpg)
Better THIS weekend than next! ;D Good to see you're not in cuffs too! Hard not to get carried away out there. These days I take the Triumph which doesn't mind 10 MPH over. The 796 wants to go 80 MPH everywhere. ;)
No seat and bars yet?
Man it's no joke on that parkway. The level of constant patrol is unreal. I mean, it's 90% Harley riders so it's not like many people are actually exceeding that 45 mph speed limit. [laugh]
Seat on the way (along with pipe), can't figure out which bars to get. I can't tell if the Rizoma bars are going to give a slightly higher rise than stock, which is what I want. I also don't know which Rizoma bars to get, Standard or Conical. Which one's did you get exactly again, I liked those?
Being retired, I only go out there during the week. Enforcement is probably a lot more lax then, and it may be a lot less after Mile 30 when you get more into the "wilderness". The NPS may want to discourage hooligans at the top end though. ;D http://www.nps.gov/common/commonspot/customcf/apps/maps/showmap.cfm?alphacode=blri&parkname=Blue%20Ridge (http://www.nps.gov/common/commonspot/customcf/apps/maps/showmap.cfm?alphacode=blri&parkname=Blue%20Ridge)
Had I known you were going out there, I'd have recommended a good place for lunch. A lot of the roads nearby are as good or better than the Parkway, although they finally DID get around to resurfacing the top end recently. Before that it was getting pretty patchy and unfriendly. That part gets a LOT of snow in the winter because it's 2,500' - 4,000'.
The bar you tried on my bike is MA008A. It looks stock but is better finished. My dealer gets them here and you can see the angles and measurements on this page. Site sponsor Monsterparts seems to have them too. His site just doesn't list the part numbers. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562 (http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562)
The bar needs to have holes drilled for the nubs on the controls, so measure tree times and drill once. :) My dealer had to redrill mine on delivery because the angle was wrong and my contols were too "flat" and I couldn't see anything in my mirrors. [roll] He was a good sport about it though... http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/282951-1/Rt_-Above.jpg (http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/282951-1/Rt_-Above.jpg)
Hope you like the Sargent. You can send it back if you don't..., but that's unlikely. WHAT pipe? I'm deaf already!
If you haven't lost my business card, my cell number still works on there as does that e-mail address. Give me a ring sometime.
This is from a few weeks ago when my buddy my Andy said screw it and took the bikes riding the fire roads at Blue Ridge, GA.

Man I swear I relieved the bike of 20+ pounds after taking off the shotgun exhaust, hanger and peg/brackets. And wow, who knew there was a single-sided swingarm under that thing?!

Nice looking bike. Odd place to mount the remote reservoir though. Were it mine it would be under tail, probably under the grab rail.
Looks like the udder is giving birth to a Termi.
Awesome bike (if I don't look at the udder).
Love that color scheme!
Anyone else notice it's titled "cornfield" yet the field in he background is a hay field?

Polarizing filter and a sudden burst on unexpected sunlight.
Funny thing is, it actually looks like that when the sunlight comes through the trees on a cloudy day. That pic is 100% unedited.
Here's another shot with the sun streaming down. It actually looked like this in person.

IIRC, it was about midway between the 33 and Paso Robles, on the 58.
Last time thru, I think it was gone, there's a solar farm thereabouts now.

Yeah, Kill Devil Hills. Did a small group ride from Richmond to Hatteras for a long weekend. Had to stop at Grave Digger's! Boy that distance beat the crap out of me on this bike too. Stock seat = the suck for me.

Yeah, my Sargent seat money went to new tires already (only managed to get 5300 miles out of the Rosso II's, hopefully these Angel GT's will do better). See you Sunday!

Looks like quite familiar countryside... given that it's half a world away.
^thats almost funny after a few beers
its a cool little run from 3300 ft in elevation to over 5500 in just a couple of miles and then abruptly back down again
Old phone - new photo. 3rd day or spring and it's still cold so I had to stop and do the lizard thing - warm myself in the sun. So looking forward to summer as the road from here on gets better.

Nope they saved me from substantial repair costs when a lady coming the other way made a sudden left in front of me. I slowed, skidded but couldn't stop & hit her passenger door going about 12mph I went over the handlebars & hit her passenger door windshield (in full gear) and then plopped back down on to my bike which had just fallen over on its side held up by a only chicken wing.

Got wood?
Had a busy weekend on the bikes with Chicago Ducati Riders club. Took the Monster down to the lakefront for the Club Pic on Sat (because face it she is the better looking of the two bikes) and then took the Diavel out for 290 mile ride through some winding backroads in Wisconsin to enjoy the fall colors (because I'm too old to ride for more than 2.5 hours on the Monster >:( ) I did wish I had the Monster on some of the twisty sections but the Diavel corners surprisingly well and had no problem smoking some of the sport bikes on the straight aways. Super fun!! [Dolph]

We have some fantastic roads here in Nor-Cal. Seldom though do you see one with such well engineered corners. [evil]
Not sure where headhunter lives down here but you only need to look at Journeyman's many snaps of twisties in NC. VA also does a great job with roads which intersect or parallel the Blue Ridge Parkway. Frost heaves are also relatively rare, so it's probably easier for them to keep these up. I'm too old to ride them really fast. A light, nimble 600 would probably be the ticket. Something easy to toss. Maybe a dual-sport.
Drove UP Rt. 56 the other day in a car and even that was a workout. The maps don't begin to show all the tight twists and turns and ups and downs. :'( http://binged.it/1wEpJh2 (http://binged.it/1wEpJh2) And riding DOWN that thing would be mildly suicidal! [roll] Zoom in and look around...
yes its great to live here for bikes (mountains of NC) and its ok to be aroused but if thats the case and you come up here to ride, bring extra underwear 8)

Nice. I've always been a fan of the leaf seat mod. [thumbsup]
hahaha thanks.
i keep running there and taking them off, by the time i got back to camera they keep falling back. so i said forget it LOl
and i can never say no to gold :)
The month of October was not kind to me. Due to work travel I spent 3 out of the 4 weeks "on the road"...but not the kind I could ride. And then, when I get back, finally ready to pick up Gossamer from my buddy's shop, he informs me that while he took out the bike, a bolt that holds the gear selector in place fell out soooo...I still haven't been able to ride!! [bang]
This calls for a trip down memory lane to the last long ride I went on at the end of September.

Living in South Florida means that my ride options are limited to the Keys, Orlando or Marco Island (I live on the East coast). I'm not complaining, but I am a little jealous of all you guys and your mountains.

On this particular ride I had a pretty uneventful ride west (straight line) facing a crazy storm. I needed to beat it before it got to where I turned south, only to try and outrun it in that direction.

I only stopped once I knew I had outrun the storm so I apologize for no shots of any alligators :P
today might be the last riding day here in IL....fingers crossed we get a few more, but temps will drop a lot.
so took the dic out for a nice cruise (somewhere around 130 miles) and snapped a pic
Realllllllly loving the new brakes/999 shock combo, now the thing wants to endo all the time, its a night and day difference from stock tiny black brakes

Thanks speedfoos, I couldn't justify spending money on replacing my broken stock headlights with another stock unit when I for sure wasn't a fan of the look, so I took a risk with trying something a bit different & although it wasn't the cheapest I think it turned out not too bad. They are PIAA 1100 LEDs & they still need a bit of tweaking to get them just right but so far they're working pretty well. Very bright, so I put some tinting vinyl on the two I use for low beam & left the two high beam ones as they were. I know that in western countries you'd get non-complianced straight away, but over here nobody looks twice.
Looks fantastic man.
Getting a bit of the winter blues... was flipping through my phone and found this, an oldie but a goodie from 2012:

Beautiful bike!
Thanks! ;D
I usually don't edit my photos, but this one turned out pretty cool in my opinion. Not very wild, and not the best certainly, but i liked it and wanted to share. Problem is, i've had plenty of chances to take a photo of my bike "in the wild" as i've been commuting on it for the last two weeks. Put over 800 miles on it. But i don't want to stop riding at any point!! :D So all the photos I have of my bike right now are either in the garage, or at the loading dock at work where I park.

Not all that wild, just sitting the driveway pre-ride. I spotted the shot walking past the NT650 and the reflection in its mirror caught my eye.

Thx for the link stopintime, recognized some of the scenery in your photos :D.
Me and a friend made the trip last week, 6 days total and 1900 km. It was a very nice trip with beautiful scenery, winding roads and great weather. The road surface quality is so much better there than over here in Sweden [Dolph].

A local brewery where we do a European bike night. The photographer is a friend who rides and is a photographer for the local paper.

Great pics, guys. I miss the "old" Monsters-- before the 696/769/1100. They're not quiiite as common anymore. And Ducati did a number on us by essentially making the Scrambler the true spiritual successor to the original Monster-- the customization scene, the air-cooled motor, and so forth. The current "Monster" really just takes the place of the old Streetfighter line. Nothing wrong about that. Except that there is a DucatiScramblerForum and we're hemorrhaging new blood to that site :o

Thats what it turned in to since they werent able to give me ticket. If they could have it would have been for doing 70 in a 50 but the cop said I was doing 140 in a 100 on the Hume highway.
He turned to admiring the bike after he pulled me over. The one standing outside wasnt amused as atll......

Ladies Lounge. Authorities didn't want them to hear bad language or be in the company of the uncouth. [laugh]
Saloon bars are part sports bar and part public bar iirc. Probably just more cultural hegemony with the name.

If the Indiana came out like that with a black or red colour scheme imagine how many they would have sold. They would have done well like Yamaha did with the Virago.

The M900Sie in the foreground is GK's bike, the MTS1100 is a customer's and the M900 at the back is my old Monster, RIP. My partly obscured Hyper and wicked Gixxer you know. The Gixxer does not play well with the twin cylinder bikes, it growls when you walk past.

Bloody cold yes, fun you bet. Nice local wine country with rolling hills and valleys.
We waited for the black ice to thaw and went late morning. A couple were tragically killed when they lost control of their car on black ice yesterday.

It's more undulating than it looks in these shots, and beautiful wine country. Some parts remind me of Tuscany bar the lighter coloured grass and gum trees.

Local orchards and vineyards in the background. View is from the Chocolateria. No place for married men during the week when mother's groups are there, (the mum's have the chocky goggles on and all amorous).
(http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y304/tonykokonis/2016-03-14%2019.59.10_zpsc7eeufqo.jpg)
Lots of boutique vineyards with little cafes throughout the area.

A few months earlier before the vines dropped their leaves. They are just starting to turn.

Nice scenery. Where is that?

Nice scenery. Where is that?
Northern Dauphin County and southern Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Specifically, the first one is along PA-125 about 8 miles north of Higgins, PA (yes, THAT Higgins).
The others are along another couple little country roads to the west and south west of there.
Thats cool. The third and fourth pics look like an area near home (Yarra Valley, Victoria Australia). Amazing.
4th and 5th!
Certainly looks like the Yarra Valley.

This winery/restaurant (Biachet) is a 15 min ride from my place on the way to great roads. The area is best ridden on weekdays sans tourist traffic.
Nice pics. 8)
The GLW's phone has a bad camera, but hopefully captures some of the beauty and space of the Yarra Valley and Yarra Ranges. A great place for riding, sight seeing and wining and dining. Plenty of quaint little boutique wineries and restaurants undiscovered by tourist coaches, some hidden down miles of dirt roads. Unfortunately I have coffee when on two wheels.
Edit.
After finishing a job this morning I'm going wine tasting through this area sampling at small boutique wineries that the large tours will ignore. Daughter is driving. [wine].
If you blokes ever visit ill show you around the area away from the tourist traps.
The winery pics shouldn't be in here...without the bike in them. ;)

It looked even better with the original build exhaust, but it hurt BP's sensitive ears. :-*

One day if you're out here we'll go up there. We'll find a bike for you. I reckon GK's club should fly you out to do some workshops and training.
That'd be a hoot.

Melbourne is on the skyline to the left. Should just be able to make out the city through the haze. There are a lot of leafy suburbs between the city centre and the mountain.

That Bakery!
The place where everything changed!
Frustrated and not enjoying my VFR800. We swapped bikes, I rode your M900 and within 2 minutes I knew I would have one!
Within weeks, my VFR was sold and I'd purchased my Monster! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»

I have to admit the color had to grow on me at first, but now I love it!
Got mine back on the road today.... Recently refinished the exhaust entirely, had a buddy of mine mod the cans a bit, and did the service work.

Very.... but its a good loud. The danmoto conicals, although inexpensive, are a great choice with the 796 if you do a few mods to them.

Yeah loving the old 900 for cruising around that area. It's the bike I choose for a relaxing ride as the motor is quite sweet and just rolls along.

😉😉ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Thanks for the kind words all you blokes.
My M900 is far from pristine but she's in good nick for her age. The frames of both bikes were repainted, but both could use fresh paint on their tanks. If I repaint I will go for '94 original colours of red or black. I might check the colour code plate to find the original colour. The 900 paint is servicable but the 750 will get its tank fixed down the track. Nibor is just loving riding again and its great to see him on the road.
Seville Spain?
yes great pics indeed. Did you paint the frame yourself?
[laugh] I wish.
No Seville Australia. ;D
No the frames were painted by pros. As Dirty Harry said "a man has to know his Iimitations", so I only paint brackets and small covers ;D
haha yup, quite the project for sure.

Really nice touch to paint the Multi front partially black (+ grip pads) [thumbsup]
He is trying things to improve the looks up front. ;) I think the S models in all black frame, wheels and glossy body work look much better than the red.

It was good swapping bikes and comparing different engine characters. We would've had Dave's bike in there, but he was off hunting for fuel in the hamlet of Flowerdale. The Flowerdale area has nice, open rolling hills and big sweepers with hills each side of the valley road.

[thumbsup] Looks crisp out there.
A balmy 50 degrees ;D . It was warm enough driving home that I had the windows rolled down in the car. That lulled me into a false sense of security and warmth, and it seemed like a good idea to go for a ride ;D
Going for a big ride today. Will get some pics up tonight. It was 0 of our degrees this morning out my way. Extra thermal layers today.

Should be a good one. Really been looking forward to a full days riding. We're meeting at a little town called Coldstream. It hit 30F there this morning.
Ride ruined by a failed regulator (8 months old). Got on the back of me mates ST2 and went home to get the ute. Picked up the bike and took it to my shed. Fitted a manky old Ducati Energia regulator and it works well. Sent the reg back under warranty for a replacement. Got some more riding in but the day was at least halved. [bang]
Pics below from a ride today. Went up through Toolangi, Healesville, Chum Creek, Gruyere, Seville (Aus), Silvan, Monbulk, Olinda, Mt Dandenong, Kalorama.

I could see them an hour ago, but not now. Using google who moves them around?
I think he's using googlephotos.
I can still see his photos all right, though.
Can you see this photo (that I posted in another thread a while ago).

Yes, both [thumbsup]
I see those two photos [thumbsup]
Can't see em either. Yes, using google photos...used to work.
Is there a way to make it work again?
Klaus
Yeah, your pictures in that post are now gone.
If you want to use googlephoto, here's how you do it.
(This is the re-post of what I originally posted on another thread a little while ago).
Go to google photo, open the image you want to post.
Click on the "share icon", that looks like this
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQj9SscPKZ8pBcMtQQvR0nLw6ZNDkRZTmqJQxAIdTm-sFshAwFI)
then, click on "get link" button, that looks like this
(https://marketplace.canva.com/MACTGdz3EiA/1/thumbnail_large/canva-link-icon-MACTGdz3EiA.png)
This will generate shareable link to the image.
(BUT, it's NOT where the image is located.)
Go to the link below, paste that link, it will generate the embed code for that picture.
https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/?_ga=2.30359100.2054658367.1524554495-1970507374.1524554495
That's it.
If you try to use the image location, it will work only for a while.
(You can open the image, right click on it (or Control + left click / Mac), to get the image location, that would look ridiculously long.)
Because the image location will be changed constantly.
The image in the post will be gone, when google moves the files around.
Thanks. I'll try that the next time

At Medhurst winery and café, Yarra Valley, Vic Aus. One of my favorite places to have a quiet lunch or glass of the local produce.

Orchards back onto vineyards. Local produce features fruit, cheese, beef, herbs and of course, wine.
Nice 8)

The place has a magic for sure. I was hit on while the GLW and I were in the midst of a lunch date. :o Was it the Ducati or the wine? I'll never know. You'd like it and a great place to exercise some Southern charm. ;)

Meg's 600 (CR), Nibor's 750 and my 750
Hell yeaah!
A good day. All was good except for two kangaroos that were hopping along the wrong side of the road head on to us while we were travelling at speed. It was strange that they were out during the heat of the day.
When I got home I grabbed the Evo for a proper workout through the local hills and valley roads. [evil]

Well travelled accessoires [thumbsup]
Coldest month of January in ages, equally cold February - until now with a sudden switch from minus 15 at night to plus degrees 24/7
Bike and I indoors, trying to stay positive and plan for trans European rides this year too [Dolph]
