Ducati Monster Forum

Us wimmenz gots needs too. 

As an offshoot from this thread http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=2381.0 (http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=2381.0) I thought it needed its own topic.

SERIOUS RULZ:
Keep it "clean." 
...No junkpile. 
...No ass-cleavage.
If you must show these things (and I hope we do,) link that crap and give a warning...something along the lines of NSFW (not safe for work) or "PG-13" or the like. 

Not-so-serious rulz:
Put a name to the face, bicep, peck or juicy thigh please.  Inquiring minds want to know.  A brief list of credentials would also be nice.  The guy doesn't have to be famous, just really, really, really good looking.   ;D




I'll start.  Heck, I might finish.  I don't really care if you post up or not.  I'm making this my personal place to hang out and drool.   [cheeky]

This is Neil Hodgson.  Neil lives on the Isle of Man.  He's got an accent.  He's got two lovely pecs...I call them Horace and Bosley.  He won 2003 WSBK Champsionship.  He currently rides for Honda (boo) in AMA.  He used to ride a Ducati.  His number is 100.

Stellar idea [thumbsup]

May I introduce Ben Bostrom?

This was during his less than stellar season with Honda in WSBK. Cover of Italian Men's Health, the team was based in Italy.

Currently riding for Yamaha in the AMA and doing quite well in Supersport.

Somewhere I have a picture of the brothers wearing only bikes and smiles.....

MB got another t-shirt autograph from Neil this past weekend, which said, "I still love you." Enzo still doesn't seem to think Neil's a threat. ;D

This thread can't go without mention of that Aussie hottie Troy Bayliss. He's #21 and rides for Ducati Xerox in World Superbike. Too bad he's retiring at the end of the season.

(http://annefrost.net/Images/moto_misc/troybayliss.jpg)

Troy's riding is so unpredictable and fun on track.  The only thing that's a given with him is that he'll win.  That is one of the best photos of him I've ever seen.   [thumbsup]

 [cheeky] this one's close to drooling  [laugh]

great pics girls  [thumbsup]

I meant to point out Troy's amputated right pinkie (visible in the first shot). He was in the middle of a race when it happened; he asked the team doctor to "cut the thing off mate! I need to race!" Or something to that effect.

Less talking.  More posting.   ;D

Meet Randy DePuniet.  My guess is that he's French.  Who cares.  He rides in GP..for whom?  Dunno.  Don't care.  Do you?  Just look at this man.  If I remember correctly Randy was responsible for someone getting punted offa their ride during a fairly critical race a year or two ago.  I forgave him.  How could I not?  I think there should be a cable station called "Randy T.V."  It's kind of like the yule-log at Christmas time...you just turn it on and stare at it.

 [laugh] [laugh]

Thanks all for the eye candy and great laugh.  [thumbsup]

Okay...he may not be a racer, but does he qualify as "hawt?" Common, gotta love the shoes and socks.

Desmoquattro wants to start a similar thread objectifying umbrella girls.  [laugh]

   

Any fans of James Toseland?

in the UK, Cosmo magazine does a nude calandar to benefit the Everyman foundation which raises awareness for male cancer. Some of the celebrities have been motorcycle racers including James Toseland, James Ellison and Leon Haslam.

First up James Toseland....
Currently teaming with Colin Edwards on the Tech 3 Yamaha in Moto GP. He has won 2 WSBK Championships, one with Ducati and the other with Honda.

This is from the UK Cosmopolitian. They do a yearly calendar with naked pics of celebs and athletes it benefit the Everyman foundation which calls attention to male cancers.



And another...on the Winston Honda.

Holy mother of all that is good!!!  :P  Those are some beautiful men!!!  Meow!!!

T

I don't have any shirtless, but here's an example of a hawt racer who is one of us mere mortals.

Stefan "Stillie" Still is a CCS racer who is in his first season of club racing.  He's racing all of the lightweight classes.  In his very first race weekend, after recovering from a freak accident wreck (basically a brake lever adjustment issue... yeah, no brakes going into the first turn after the main straight = the suck), he laid down all top 10 finishes and 1 top 5 finish.  He's 30 years old an an IT contractor for the State Department.  He has a beautiful 4 year old son, Austin.  Yes, Stillie has an accent, or rather a drawl.  He was born and raised in Mississippi.  In his former life, he was enlisted in the Army and assigned to The Old Guard and spent some of that time as a guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Yeah, he was one of those pretty boys.

Stillie in his former life in the Army:

Looking waaaaay too happy to be at the track and not even on a bike yet:

Stillie had no idea this photo was being taken, but it's not shabby:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/Desmogirl/notgoingtocrash.jpg)

Sorry, girls, but I don't have any shirtless pics of him... YET!!!

Sweet Jesus on a motorcycle!  [cheeky]

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

i'll try that line next time

Did you know Toseland has a band called Crash?

(http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4173/band12720cn1.jpg)

aprilmaybe - thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.....

Stillie is hawt. (Sorry Em!)

No need to be sorry!  That pic of him in his lid was shot just a couple of weeks ago and it is my new wallpaper.  I just thought I'd share!

thank you for sharing emily  ;)

That line had me  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

This may be breaking the rules, but I had to throw this in there:

My hawt boyfriend, Mo. He's a racer, #39 for OMRRA (Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association)
One of the fastest boys at the track!

great..... so this is why lm wants to watch motogp now  [roll]





 [laugh]

I leave you to your nipplefest ;D

Picture not showing up???

"Locals" are totally welcome in the thread--they just need to be smokin' hawtness.  I think Stillie is teh bomb.   [thumbsup]  He has a very "boy next door" look to him.  ---Totally "doable."   [cheeky]

We can't possibly forget our MOB local #944, Steve Metz (Tigre). He races AFM and just completed his first AMA race! Sorry, I couldn't find any shirtless shots, though I had plenty of chances to get them last weekend, hanging out at Camp Tigre.  [bang]  ;D

fixed the image posting for you :)

edit: ok, re-fixed

Pic no workie.  :'(

re-fixed...think she was moving files around

Woah, both great shots - ...his website needs some serious updating, and if he's got the rights to these snaps, even his flickr.
i was trying to explain the Tigre-bike to workmate and randomly searched Flickr, actually found random *other* people's "look what I saw" sightings of him.  And also his crash shots.  O_o;
Anyhoo..
My favorite Ducati man-candy is, sadly, fictional.

He looks more "tigery" with the shirt on...   [laugh]

There are some very lucky ladies with hot boyfriends!

I really like the track tigerbike picture--it just works!

okay ladies, I'm going to bend the rules a little.  He is not a moto racer.

But Ken Block #43 Subaru USA Rally driver is hwat.   :-*

He has a great smile.  ;D

Does this with his car.  [thumbsup]

And has time to hang out with fans!!  (B, myself, and Ken)  BTW, B is hawt too.   [cheeky]

 [wine] Cheer to finding this page!

You girls rock!

Naomi

Note to self: Remove camera(s) from house.... ;D

Hey! Who let him in here!?!? ^^^

They'll let anyone on the innanets these days.  ;D

Don't worry, sweetie.  You have only one stalker who can get pics of you nekkid.  And I think I would notice any other stalkers in stalking you.  Well, you do have other stalkers, but we won't go into that.   [laugh] [puke]

i can't see anything past this hawtness

I loves me some dreads...we have a local AMA/AFM guy here with dreads.  He has very long eyelashes (and a girlfriend) but screw it...lemme try and find a pic of him.   [thumbsup]

Mmmmmm.... dreads.

*homer drool*

Both of the people in the dreads pic are hawt!

That is a seriously hawt couple! You guys look stunning together!

* blush *

it's been over a year and a half and he's still
makes me as hot as the day i first saw him.

*swoon*

you all do know that the first couple pages of this thread, including it's title, would have been locked and/or deleted in a heartbeat if posted by a guy in a more visible area of the board.    In fact I've gotten complaints about posts that were less over the line by people in this very thread.


suggestions of how we handle this?

Hawt Racer S/O thread?

 ;D

I personally have no problem with it if the title is changed and some of the posts are cleaned up a bit.

I appreciate you allowing us the chance to discuss this.  Since you're the mod, why don't you tell me/us what's over the line and we can address them point-by-point.  I did look for "rules" about this sort of thing before putting it up there and didn't find any--nothing under FAQs and Policies that I saw.  I went by my previous experience about posting nudity and limited common sense about this type of thing in general.  I get where you're coming from, but I respectfully disagree with your logic.  Feel free to p.m. me as I'd really like to keep the lightheartedness of this thread going if it's allowed to remain. 

Thanks,
Heather

I think this is where we're close:

 3.1  Members shall not post images or links containing, nudity, partial nudity, sexual acts, or depiction thereof.  This includes pictures for purely sexual purposes.  This isn't a frat house, and the board needs to be work-appropriate.  Pictures of clothed spouses or significant others are ok.  If questionable, images should be linked and not directly visible in a thread. This link, and if possible the thread title, should carry a warning that such material may be NWS = "Not Work Safe".  Links will be deleted if determined to be innapropriate by the moderators.


we get complaints all the time about the boys' comments, and while we all know the ladies can be more graphic, I think it's the comments that change the nature of the thread.

'spank bank' in an umbrella girl post would have gotten a flood of complaints and rightly so.    'I'm going to need a minute and some new batteries'?   How can I say that's fine if I act on complaints about less crude comments form the guys?

Isn't it possible to post and or discuss fit racers and/or significant others without the masturbation references and cat calls?

If we say in the rules it's not a frat house (apologies to the fraternities without that reputation) or construction site, it's got to be not a chip and dales either.

Some of the shots by themselves could be called out but I don't think we would only because it's racers we're talking about (and sig others who ride).
I think it's the combination of pics and comments that sends it over the spirit of the site.   

Other admins say just delete it.   

I finally found and read through the rules.  Yep, I'm on the line with this thread, although I think the idea of being viewed as a sex object by women really isn't problematic for most men...   [laugh]  Can we have a little time (a couple of days) to link the images and edit some posts? 

...and there lies the issue.

We have to maintain a single standard...

I don't believe most women wish to be viewed as a sex object based on complaints I hear.

i agree we have to maintain a single standard... even though i'm not complaining.
i've had some things implied to me over the years, and never once complained to a mod about it...
i can stick up for myself in most cases... and i believe the implications are all in good fun.

i've edited my original posts to link to the shirtless pics of randy and nicky,
even though i don't think those photos cross the line.
you can see shirtless men in any city in the world, right?

is it ok to post up pictures of nicky hayden because he has nice eyes?
because honestly it's his eyes that do it for me, and not his lowrise jeans...

mel

Maybe if we eliminate "spank bank" from the title?  ???

T

I think I've pared down my contribution to this thread to something more in line with what forum  [leo] have in mind.  A little more can be done without making the thread totally lame--I trust I will be informed if I need to do that.  Ladies, please help out and remove/edit questionable stuff.  Please don't make me p.m. each of you.   ;D  Give me a holler if you need a little help figuring that out. 

It was a joke.... you know, "ha ha."  Let your guard down a bit.  I'm onery, but I really do understand your point here and am not challenging the mods' request. Just because I post online doesn't make me crazy and/or unreasonable.  :) 

Let's get back to posting, ladies, within the appropriate set of guidelines.   [thumbsup]

I'm guessing that my Toseland picture is the most over the line. I'll need to link it.

Soooo--Techy question here...
The picture is on my hard drive, I don't have the original link anymore. Can I link from my photobucket account?


The picture did come from a non porn magazine as part of a calandar for a charitable foundation.

No tech reason that you couldn't, just don't put it inside the [ img ] tags.

Also ladies, while you are going back and editing, it would be nice to remove "spank bank" from the individual reply titles.

I think Photobucket allows a "link from HTML" or something like that.  That should suffice. 

...doesn't matter what the photo is for--can't show it in its full wonderfulness here.  That was the one that I thought was a bit risque' too, but no biggie.  Make sure you let folks know the link ain't for work n stuff.  Thanks!

The Toseland post has been edited. I did leave the shirtless riding picture up because thats just a candid from the pits. I also left the Bostrom pic alone because its the cover of Men's Health.

Let me know if those have to change as well.

dank oooo....  ;D

It's all cool, I don't mind playing by the rules. Level playing field and all that.  [thumbsup]

Personally, now that I'm gettin' to be an old lady, I don't mind being "objectified" the way I did when I was a hot young thing.  ;) Nobody wants to objectify me anymore, they just want to "talk." <sigh>  :'(

Let me just say, enjoy while it you got it, ladies!

a joke from one members perspective...

is a pain in my ass when dealing with 2000.

just sayin... ;)

Lets not get this one locked like the "What the hell do you look like" thread...

I liked that thread  :-\

Before all of the way-off-topic dumbmake the beast with two backsery began that is...

Ladies, you can choose.

I am rather miffed that the place created to be a place where women could get away from the testosterone-full crap to discuss riding is used as a beefcake pinup, but maybe I'm reading it all wrong.

With a thread called spank bank that isn't self moderated I see little reason to have a separate forum.  Is this wrong?   Why couldn't this be in NMC where it would get locked, and everything else in general, riding techniques, tech, etc?

Anyone else want to give it a shot before it goes away?   I think we've already given it more leeway and discussion thn anything else we have had to moderate.

I would kind of like to see the SO part of it stay, and the rest of it can go away (or move into NMC).

Statler, do what you feel is necessary. 

I tend to agree there is a bit of double standard occuring. 

However, I also feel pictures of good looking men (racers/SO) that are fully clothed are okay.  It is not the whole thread that needs to be eliminated, just the offending pictures/words.   :-\

I'm a little confused...I thought the offending bits were addressed and we were done.  Is the entire thread concept being challenged now? 

I don't have a problem abiding by moderator wishes but it would just be nice if we could get it definitive decision and move on.  If the thread needs to be deleted, then so be it, but that should have been done in the first place. 

Several of us have been cooperative and thoughtful in our efforts to appease the authority here and I am confused as to why we're revisiting the issue. I wouldn't have bothered to edit stuff if I knew it was just going to be canned anyways.   ???

I'm not on 24/7.

The title hadn't been changed when I looked but was before I posted later and I neglected to look.  But in either event is was quite some time later than the last discussion on the point and spank bank stuck around quite some time.

double standard?   right  (someone else pointed that out) ...we let this go when the same thread from a guy would have just been deleted and we would have 'moved on.'  the double standard worked in your favor which is unfair to others.

some of the female posters obviously have no problems with standing up for themselves and would do just as well on the main forums arguing with the frat boys.  fine.  then post there.   

There will allways be a lag in when things are postd and when they are read.   Most of the admins are also getting a feeling of the entire board over a day, so some threads get the gyst of many others....just the way it is...when we deal with lots of people just pushing over the limits we get fed up like anyone else does.

So the thread has been cleaned up by request when the request should never have been needed.

So the title stayed long after we commented on it.

So we continue to comment after you thought we should be all done.

It still worked so much in favor of this thread that I'm one of the few arguing to keep it around.   As a judge told me early in my career...when the ducks are flying in your direction, sit down and shut up.

asking for quick definitive answers from people volunteering to keep this place running smoothly and as happily for as many people as possible is not the best way to go.   Better to let us brew on it for a while and then get bored and ignore it for other things.

I don't want to step on any toes here, as far as stirring the pot with the mods or the ladies,

and everyone knows I'll be the first person to step into the ring with the boys in any area of this forum... and I've said some pretty raunchy things here that were probably on the line but were forgiven for some reason,

so...

perhaps now would be a good time to let this thread quietly slip away for a while, as to not threaten the really good thing we have going in MW. We've had our fun; it's not worth it to keep prodding, and I don't see this going in a good direction no matter who edits what, no matter what argument is presented from either side.

Just my .02

meh....it'll work fine.

Hell, I've got pics of Stillie on my couch I will dig out and post tomorrow.

UH OH!!! Statler, is there something I don't know about? ???

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to edit my posts until today. I haven't checked the thread lately. IMO, these pix of Tigre are definitely PG-rated. :)

Ladies,

I look forward to the pics!!!

YOWSAH!

Thanks for that!  :o

Hitting the favorites list for sure!

Icky!  I ran away...

I take issue with that.  I think cat calls are an important part of discussing local AFM racers.

;)
