Ducati Monster Forum

Here is the new thread.   co::

I saw one hiding in my garage this morning :o cheeky bastard

Me 2!  I saw mine sitting in my garage!   mo:t:

I just want to be on the first page.   ;D

I actually saw mine on the road today  ;D

Saw a few in Philly tonight.

I saw Enzo in front of me this morning on our way into work.   mo:t:

Saw Brendan riding ahead of me yesterday on his new 620. Makes a dad proud.

We did a nice hooky ride through Marin.

Saw, I mean heard a loud red bike with what looked like a white racing stripe or a huge bird turd that hit the windshield and went all the way to the tail this morning going down fillmore.  Oh, wait that was me admiring my bike in a store window when I was at a stoplight.  mo:t:

I see a 620D almost daily heading west on 84 near Marsh Road about 5:30-5:45pm.  And everytime I pass by a store with large windows, I must admit, I can't help but look.  I'll probably run into the back of  some random car because of it too.

saw a few monsters at infineon yesterday, including mine  mo:t: mo:t:

I saw so many at Hattar plus mine in garage , can not wait to take her out on this Saturday mo:t:

I saw my own bike's reflection off a Koenigsegg CCX on 237 two weeks ago..

Does that count?

TTIWWP!! And not of your bike's reflection either! Unless you capture the entire car in the shot! Did you offer to let him ride yours if you could drive his? Hawt cars those Koenig's!!  wt:

Just saw Duqette splitting by me on 101S in San Mateo, about half an hour ago.  I was driving my dog back from the vet.  Bike looks good! [thumbsup]

How's Grover doing?

Hi there!  :)  I made a quick dash up to SF this morning for supplies. No traffic to speak of except for that stretch of 101. Sheesh. I hate those narrow lanes.

While in SF I saw, parked in the moto parking on Grant at Market, a very nice-looking older duc, lots of mods, grey, with <gasp> TOB url  on the rear seat cowl. Clean that anathema off!  ;)

 

Much better, thanks! :)

He is full of energy (sometimes too much [roll]).  Hopefully next week he will get his casts off, then we start the rehab process.

What happened to Grover and what kind of dog is he??

http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=1332.msg13090#msg13090

I worked in the city thursday and saw 7 monsters !   2 on the b bridge in the morning, 2 on 101 south and then 2 on c chavex bld. On the way home 1 more on the bridge. thats the most i have ever seen in 1 day without a ride going on.

Silver monster at Stinson Beach at the beach, saturday afternoon, w/ two non-ducs

I saw a red monster head from lake Bereyesa to lake Kenesy ( hope I got it right)
around afternoon on Sunday , me & desmogirl on another side ( we all are black both bikes )

That would be Lake Hennessy. How were the bugs up that way? We were up in the Hopland, Cloverdale area and they were HUGE.

A red Monster with low-mount Remus cans pulled up in the lane next to me on Industrial Blvd. in Hayward this morning around 8 am.  I was on my friend's Ninja 250 and you didn't give me a second look. [roll]

Thanks to correct , bug are not too many , the ride was so great ....

The Butts Canyon area has always been one of my favorite rides. Have you gone out 175 toward Cobb and run Bottle Rock? Or gone up to the Goldmine Rd? That is one badass run. Though we usually turn around and come back as the road turns to sh1t from the goldmine to berryessa.

I might rode this road few years ago , but I remmeber we loop back from 101 , is the one goes  through Middle town ? maybe hook up go for ride on that road oneday , pm me.

Another female rider heading North on Embarcadero and left turned into Bay Street at around 5:30PM today. 

Black 695 (I think) with high mount pipe, looks lowered.

Black Monster M900 with tail chop, going South on 280 about 3:30 around edgewood road (no gear so hopefully not one of us  ;D)
 
I was going north on a Silver Multi dying in my areostich  :-\

Yellow Monster this morning en route to Costco in SF on 10th and Harrison.  Getting onto 101 S ramp.

Yellow 749 around 7:45pm on 680 near concord.

Whoever you are you perked me up. I was struggling with splitting lanes for about 45 minutes before that. My hands were crapping and my bike was HOT and burning me up. You gave me a second wind when I saw you  [thumbsup]

A whole bunch of Ducati's at via Cavalieri Ducati, Bolonga  ;D

Patrick, what do you think of the 696 in person?

[threadjack] I thought it was ok ... I wasn't that excited over it.  In person, it does look like a modern "evolution" of the Monster, so I guess I will get used to it.  It does look better in person than the pictures show though.  And next to the multistrada, it looks pretty good.     [laugh] [/threadjack]

That might have been me. Did it have high-mount pipes and a small rider in all black leathers, and black helmet with fluorescent yellow stickers all over it?

Yup! At around 10:58 am?  [thumbsup]

Tonight at 7:20pm san jose 1st street and 101

Red/white monster. Female rider. U got on 101. I was sitting at the light.

Tiger bike at Desmoto Sport yesterday...

Thought I had a bad relay -- actually had a bad battery which is why I was there...

m

saw a very nice red s4 in hamilton, new zealand 4 days ago! could not get a great look as it passed but looked like it had lots of tasty aftermarket parts. probably not anyone from s.f. though  [cheeky]

Yesterday 5/21 eve headed north on 101 through all the traffic by SFO. You zipped by me on your really sweet pearl and red frame monsta.  :D

I'm slow......

Yesterday, 4pm, stuck on GG bridge southbound, at the accident (head on collision, car looked really bad, couldn't even tell the make, Ouch!)

Waiting for all involved to get things cleaned up & moving again, and a 1098s Tri pulls in next to me (dude, what's up with the sneakers, w/no socks, no less?), then a yellow Monster, nicely modded, open clutch, Staintune (?) pipes

Nice white 848 on northbound side.

Things get moving again, and we have a 3 Ducati procession, with a BMW R80 in tow, AND a police escort!

I dunno, it might have been 10:57.   [laugh]

Red Monster S2R 1000 parked on Anza at Collins in SF around 3:45pm today. Looks pretty new. Equally pretty red MV Augusta parked next to it.

Red Monster on Broderick, heading from Fell to Oak at 5:30 pm.  Rider had black gear on with a red messenger bag.  I was heading into Falleti's and heard the sweet pipes....

Downtown Japan Town San Jose tonight at the Sake tasting festival.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2514850753_8b62ceed3e_o.jpg)

Yellow Monster heading towards downtown on California Street at Arguello. Rider had yellow helmet to match, Remus pipes and was wearing a messenger bag, jeans and Sidi boots. Was in my TT right next to you.

ducati and grace cathedral, match made in heaven   [evil],
 I saw 4 parked today at the SFJazz Bulgarian Women's Choir event at Grace;
 a cool red S4R ( 04), a gray GT, a red 750 i think and my 02 S4. 
kinda of fun to blip the throttle after an evening of ethereal music  [moto]

Hey there! That's my church! As far as I'm aware, I'm the only ducatista who is actually a member of the congregation, although there are a few other riders occasionally showing up in their leathers, too.  :D

Grace is such a lovely space, and for the right kind of music , the 6 second delay in the hall acoustics is amazing.  Organ performances are great!

also did not see any ducs today which itself was unusual during my commute.

Red Monster with a red and white sports bike in Antioch at 8:20pm tonight in front of the New Asian Bistro Qin's

I need some Monster friends on this side of the Bay  :-\

Grace is beautiful. For a short time I sang with a mixed choir there and they told us the echo was 7.4 seconds.  :o
It's kinda funny trying to get the congregation to sing along with the organ, though. We're always hopelessly off, and the further back you are, the more off.





I often see a dark monster in my neighborhood around North El Camino in San Mateo.... Anyone? Anyone?

Betcha it's the same one I see parked in the moto spots in front of Draeger's in downtown SM.

Dark 695 w/ aftermarket mirrors (sometimes covered) on the south side of the east SCEA building in Foster City? 

I see the bike everyday @ work, but never the owner.  ???

Saw a black-on-black 696 at the corner of Stevens Canyon and Mt. Eden  today at about 12:45. The other person was riding a red... something or another, I don't know, I was too busy gawking. ;)

Hey S.
 that was me off to work.

2 monsters getting on the San Mateo bridge around 2:30 today

Yellow S2R on Hillsdale in San Jose this morning. I wish they still offered yellow. It's my favorite Duc color.

Saw a nice 851 yesterday on the coast in Bodega Bay. Nice older guy, not on the board but I informed him all about it.

Silver S2R at the 121/128 junction yesterday around 12:30.  My wife and I were on our "his and hers" red monsters.  His:  an S4RS; Hers:  a 620.

Hey MS!
Great to hear from you - hope all is well with you and the Lady!  [thumbsup]
Funny thing is that Frances told me that she saw a yellow Monster that same day in SF - must have been you after I gave her the description!
Cheers!

Red Monster parked outside of Werkstatt today at 1:30 pm and then saw a black Monster, Rider had Messenger back riding up to Twin Peaks on Portola at Grand View, circa 4:30 pm.

Desmosedici RR...

At bike night in Marin tonight  [thumbsup]

I saw a ducati monster dark with high carbon pipes on Green St & Laguna St. today around 6:00 pm.

I keep finding myself lane-splitting with the same red 748 North 280/ Embarcadero down town every so often. Who?

Saw a really dirty  ;D ;D black Monster 620 parked outside the garage on Bush Street @ Octavia (across from Therapeia)...

did you treat yourself to the spa today?  you should have walked over, I was in the garage all day working on my new bike!

Does it run yet?

soon....
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2553247130_e54c23606f.jpg?v=0)

Dude, vinnie what is that? :o

I don't do spas...  [roll]  Was in Frances' car running errands - she was the one that remembered what you said about the only non-Victorian house so now we always see if your bike is out... now look what you've started!!  ;D

Black Monster 620 or 750 in San Pablo (Church st) today around 10.  Female, full leather, nice ass...I kept staring (at the bike and ass) and missed my turn.

Now THAT'S funny!  [popcorn] [laugh]

TiGeR monster on hwy 84 on 6-8

Here is a link to the picture: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=0V0D000A000249&po=249

This guy is taking pictures on hwy 84 and selling them online, a la killboy and such.

I doubt that will last long given the increase in  [leo]

Forgot to mention I saw someone on Sunday, around 6 pm, heading north on 101, San Bruno area, on a red Monster.  I was in my car heading home from my concert.

red monster high pipes, leathers  splitting lanes on bay bridge getting off on Fremont exit,  i think it was female rider or small guy.   thx for softening up the traffic for me  [cheeky]

Hit the forward button eight times and you'll see Desmoquattro too.

Fooling around with Google Maps Street View and looking at the parking lot across from Alices, there's a yellow Monster.  I found that interesting.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=skylonda,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=109.927402,105.292969&ie=UTF8&ll=37.387379,-122.264249&spn=0.007468,0.006427&z=17&layer=c&cbll=37.3866,-122.264629&panoid=vQYKl7JiIZgeaxoLRcic5g&cbp=1,358.3176971623475,,0,20.70987752662446

Must be mostrobelle , that is her way.

Yellow Duc (probably a pre 2001) at First and Tasman in Santa Clara. Rider in all red and full leathers.

Bike: Red 1098 westbound on Daly Boulevard, by Westlake Shopping Center, Daly City.
Date: 6/11/08
Time: About 3pm

I had to turn off the car stereo to hear the clutch. By the sound of the clutch I could determine that it was a 1098 and not an 848, since I could only see it from the rear. Must have had stock pipes since the bike was so quiet.

Nice shots of the boys, Vinnie too! [thumbsup]

Dude getting off his metallic blue S4R with a white stripe at the sidewalk outside Be Be Cleaners, Duboce & Guerrero, at around Noon'ish...that you DQ? Was driving up Duboce in my TT...

Yup, that was him.

^^ what she said


Was one wheel off the ground?  ;D

Yeah, that was me. Picking up the work-related monkey suits...and setting off car alarms  [moto]

Bike: Black Supersport 900, 90's model, turning left from Turk onto Arguello.
Date: 6/13/08
Time: 4:10pm

Bike: Yellow Monster, heading westbound on Turk between Baker and Lyon, SF.
Date: 6/13/08
Time: Around 11am

I really don't understand why you SF people post Monster sightings. If I stop in the city for a concert, I'll see at least 4 or 5 Monsters between where I park and the venue. That's just a few minutes of one evening.
I think you all just want to boost your post numbers.















This is one more post for me!

We're just good like that :)

I think we in SF should have a "Non-Monster Sightings" thread. But wait, that would be a little hard to maintain  ;D

Heh

Sometimes I feel like all the monster sightings are just the same seven or 8 people in San Francisco seeing it other over and over. Where's the South Bay crowd?!!!

Nobody every sees me!  :'(

Today (15 June '08): Desmosedici RR, southbound on Highway 1 just north of Marshall  [thumbsup]

Ditto for here in the North Bay! Well, except for Le Pieou (sp?) once saw me in Calistoga.  [thumbsup] But that was long time ago on a board far far away...

I feel your pain man...  [beer]

Black monster at 2:40pm today near warm springs blvd in Fremont.

Saw a red Monster heading south on 101 around 11 am today in Redwood City.

Red Monster today at around 6:30 pm on Lucas Valley Road near Nicasio going towards 101.  I was going the other way.

While not a monster, this Semi Tiger bike looking thing was spotted On the 13th, Grant & Union

(http://i31.tinypic.com/k1xst2.jpg)

I think this one has been spotted before?


(http://i30.tinypic.com/fmne37.jpg)

My daughter saw the Tigerbike cruising past Jackson Park this weekend.

She was very excited and was asking me why my bike doesn't have a tail.

Tigre: expect a restraining order within the week ;D

And not to step on anyone's toes... but I made this a sticky.

ho-shi~.... er.. Thanks. 
on the 5th i was screwing around, hooky day... at 10.. coming back from the DMV.

saw MM on the vespa up by Tam today

Saw yellow duc (low mount carbon pipes) leading a D16rr north on highway 1 past San Gergorio Beach. Man they sound weird!. Kinda like a single prop airplane from a distance..

Not sure if I like it yet..

2 sightings:

Both S4Rs, one red, one black.

1st, black, Gough @ Market, 3pm-ish. Split up the left side of me. Dual carbon, right side, cans. Floppy left rear blinker. [moto]

2nd, red, Bay Bridge Eastbound, 3:30. Came up from left side, and deftly moved through traffic. [moto]

Me: In the green, but mostly filthy, Toyota 4Runner. AMA decal on left, and Ducati decal on right side of rear window. Waved to both as they passed. [thumbsup]

Anyone from here?

Thursday 6/19, 8:30ish pm, southbound 101, just north of the 380 exit, monster with 2 up. Passenger had a white helmet. Red frame, pearl tank ? I didn't get a good look, I was on the duqette in the number 1 lane, zipping right along.  :)

Thurs 5:38pm - Pixar employee heading home on a white 848 with black leathers and a red-black-white helmet.

While loading my Day-Tuna I moved the 748 and what did I see at the back of my garage a Black Monster 800! Anyone know who's it is?

Oh yeah, I've been looking for that! Just go ahead and do me a favor and drop it off this weekend will ya.

That makes it official.  You have waaay too many bikes.  You must give me the 748 right away!  ;D

Riding home on my SS from dinner last night on Pine and saw a black Monster and black with white checkered front fairing parked in front of the JCC in SF (California and Presidio) at around 9 pm'ish.

Coming back from work in my car saw a silver and a red Monster together on Park Presidio and Clement around 9pm ish.

Saturday the 21st I saw a Yellow Monster with a chrome clutch cover parked at the Oxford St. motorcycle parking right below UCB.

Fri 5:00pm - Red 848 leaving One Infinite Loop with black leathers and a silver Kagayama Shoei.

Sunday around noon, Black S*R w/ Arrows in the parking lot at Depot Park in Sonoma. Was movin too fast on my FAST bike (peddler)  [laugh] to see any details. Doubt it was anyone on this board but I thought I would post up anyway...

Red Monster headed north on 880 by the Oakland Colosseum at about 10:00 this morning.  [moto]

teeny lady on the blue Duc following the red up Addison.

That was probably me. 

2 Monster's. 1 blue and 1 black red frame going down Big Basin Way, Saratoga tonight around 8:30ish

I was eating at this great French Restaurant called Gervais  [thumbsup]

http://www.gervaisrestaurant.com/

OK, so a little OT, but I had my first on-track experience of being passed by a Desmoseidici. They were "breaking it in" so that's why Matt Green was riding in the B+ group.

Anyway, he passed me going into turn 14 at Thunderhill, and as we were exiting onto the straight he took off like I was riding my Vespa instead of the R6. Like he was shot out of a cannon. Absolutely, frickin incredible, and an honor to behold. Oh, and the sound of that thing as it went by me - it gave me wood. ;D

Black S2R in front of the Missouri tonight.

'mornin Joe!

(sunday morning)

Mornin! We always seem to pass each other on Turk.

Oh yeah...your GF lives at one end and mine lives at the other  [laugh]

Saturday July 5th, 11:30PM, Portland OR, at a bar called Plan B (http://www.yelp.com/biz/plan-b-portland) the bartender was wearing a Zeitgeist tank top. [thumbsup]

Tuesday morning, 8:30, Richmond Parkway: a black monster going southbound.

I think I saw Sugarcrook again today. Red Monster headed North on 880 near Fruitvale around 9:30. I tend to see this red Monster when I'm running late for work.

That sounds about right.  And I was headed south on 880 around 19:00. 

Now I'll have to change my route.   :P

Grizzly Peak to Strawberry Canyon, freaking awesome sounding 620 - if you hadn't told me i would have been totally confused for the rest of the day - with red rims and work on the fork/front.  Those pipes.. now i know what my leetle dark could sound like, i have to know if there was a full exhaust replacement or slip-on's.

i swear, i was like an idiot puppy from the moment we hit the stop sign at right angles to each other.  like in Metal Gear, when the little exclamation sound appears over people when they notice something - it was like that.  i actually HEARD that sound, and then it was drowned out by the pipes.  my brain went "S4?" because of the red, but it was.. small/weird/something different.

i wanted to play hookey SO BAD, and follow you where-the-hell-ever, but i turned off into work like a good little dog.   [bang]

White 696 Squid on 280 near San Jose around 9:00pm  ;D

6pm, Shell station @ 8th & Harrison. Red Multistrada S filing the tank. News crew was there filming the fill up.

Anyone here?

YOWZA! - who was riding the RED CAFE SEX.. er.. Sport 1000 on my patch just now?  Looked SO good!  Especially the shiny black hat- what a cool look.
7/11 @ 7:15, in San Pablo, on San Pablo northbound at 23rd, i beeped and oogled as i made my left onto 23rd.

Um, not really a Monster sighting, but it is just too cool not to post up. Got to see AND HEAR the mythical beast in person!! Yes, a D16 with the race exhaust on it.  :o Damn, that thing is pure rider porn. It was so cold blooded he must have had to start it at least 6 times to get it to stay running. It wasn't even fully assembled so that may have been a part of it and he didn't seem too adept at the fast idle operation. It was either a really (too fast) fast idle or it would die.

Absolutely stunning sound.  [evil] I was gonna hang around for him to finish "assembling" it as he was gonna take it out for spin but I had just had my new BST's mounted up with new M3's and wanted to get home and get my own beast back together....  [thumbsup]

Saw this on Market & Main. I take bart to work so I walk on Market>Embarcadero. But I'm always on the left side of the street. I decided to walk on the right and spotted this. One of the sexiest bikes I have ever seen. I posted this over at BARF but they don't seem to like it as much as I do. I'm sure you guys would appreciate this bike more. Who is the owner of this beautiful machine?

This thing has been posted all over for years. I dunno, I think it's kinda ugly. :/ There's something to say about subtlety.

6?? dark, blue jacket, white solid helmet. Wesbound 80 at Ashby in Berkeley 7/16 6:15am

Just caught a brief glance of a dark monster heading the other direction from me on Fair Oaks near 101, around 2 pm today.

Red monster (696 maybe?) on the Richmond Parkway (just after exiting of the 80) heading south around 8AM.

I think you picked me up on your radar.  My commute takes me from Martinez to Larkspur.  So, I hop off 80 at the Parkway to get to the bridge!

I know the bike and owner, but I don't know if he made the move from the TOB.  :-\

I'll see if I can get a hold of him to post up.

me on my yellow 750 - downtown Mt. View last evening around 8p - Caught a glimpse of a grey tanked stock mufflered monster headed the opposite direction on Castro.

I should see more often then... what are your "hours" on the parkway?
I'm on between 8 and 8:20... and between 5h35-5h55 on the evenings...

I saw a stock, dark Monster 695 or 620 that turned down Standford/Adeline in Berkeley this morning around 9:10am. Rider had a silver/gray jacket with orange accents. Just as I caught up to you, you made a right-hand turn off of MLK jr.

Monday 7/28
  Black S2R, tailchop, black leather jacket and soooweeeet orange mohawk [clap]  NB Hwy 29 in American Canyon.

Is this you?

Last Saturday I was up on Mount Tam taking pictures of SF.  I heard the motor, turned around and shot a few.  These are the best two. 

Another BARF (http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/) member suggested I post this here too.

Red/Red 695 with termis parked on my street in San Bruno.

I spotted one!

Yesterday, 6pm-ish, you were on a red S2R, doing wheelies down Jackson St each block between Baker & Divis...  Nice!!  [clap]

Black w/ Red Frame 695 going up page mill rd on Sunday around 3:45. I was the red S2R going down..

A red S4Rs, followned me a while during my commute: on the 80, then Richmond Parkway, the 580.
 [moto]

was leaving Ace friday heading home and saw a nice white 848 filtering wb caldecott tunnel entrance.  first time i've seen one on the street :)

It's been awhile (Maybe a month?), but I saw a couple on matching black Monsters coming up Richmond Parkway early one morning.  His bike was a black S4R with CF Arrows and she rode a black S2R with CF Zards.  Are you guys on this board and from west CoCo County?  If so, PM me...my wife and I both ride Monsters as well.

Last night.  Clean red-on-red 695 (I think), mostly bone stock, leaving Havana restaurant in Alameda.

Seen: 101 Fwy South - Tricolore Monster

Seen you a few times around 7:15 AM on the 101 Freeway going south through the San Rafael/Corte Madera areas.  You are on what looks to be an stock S4RS Tricolore Monster!  I’m in the cage pool lane, always made room for you, and I always get a smile on when you ride by… 

Nice ride!

Black monster in Chileno Valley 9/6.  We were two reds and two blacks.  We went by while you were pulled off the road.

Dark coming down Gough St in SF.  We were two blacks and a red that split by you. 

I spoke with the owner of a red M900 who just moved here from my New Mexico. There are now three red M900s in a one block radius of me [moto]

This was ... Tuesday (?) 9/2 morning, about 8:30 am, southbound on 101 around Burlingame. I was splitting, in my usual cautious way (it only takes one car cutting into you to make you eternally slow in the share lane ;)), when I became aware of a sweet and low growl behind me.  :D

I pulled over to let you by on your dark and LOUD monster, with the wing logo on the tank, which you patted as you went by with a wave. There was another red something sporty behind you, but I only had eyes (and ears) for you....

Big smile on my face for that. Thanks!

Sounds like that was DarkStaR on his way to work.   [moto]

Saw Matt's Monster on California @ Arguello  [cheeky] yesterday.

Yup that was me and my buddy (rc51) heading to work. 

What exhaust do you have duqette?  Looked fancy from the rear.

Exiting on Freemont from the bay bridge, a guy on a yellow 916 passed me on the left and then shifted over in the seat for the right turn.... beautiful bike, totally stoked!  I see plenty of monsters every day, but this was the first I've seen a 916 on the morning commute.

Also there's a Paul Smart Sport Classic 1000 that parks in the same alley way that I park in the city every day.... very nice... talked to him the other day, forgot his name though.

Well, Hi there!

That exhaust was put on by the former owner once removed. (In other words, by the person who had it before the guy I bought it from...) It says "Nikko Racing" on the pipes, but no one has ever been able to identify or track any such company down. Regardless, I love the sound and look, so I'm keeping 'em. Unlike the original ghastly mirrors, now replaced with fabulous CRGs...

9/17

  SB680 coming over the Sunol grade, black fairly stock looking 620, black jacket, Arai helmet, black and white messenger bag.  Got off at Scott Creek Rd.  Around 10 o'clockish in the a.m. 

i was getting off work (REI SF) tonight and one of the last customers to leave the store got on a dark blue (maybe black, it was dark) monster, not sure which one.  i rode by on my duc and said "nice bike". sorry about the vagueness but anyone here?

Monster Red/white (w/ stock mirrors) and rider DOWN on 101 N. @ about 5:45pm in San Mateo near Kehoe. 

Hope your okay. 

Black S2R with a white stripe in front of the Rat's clubhouse tonight.

Saw Tigre and datv on the tard heading toward the Golden Gate Sun morning around 9:30.  Looks like I got back to SF too late for the ride.   :'(

Saw two Monsters at El Balazo restaurant in Pleasanton (I-580 and Hopyard) at lunch today.  One was a red 900 and the other was a metallic copper colored one.  Both had bar end mirrors and CF pipes.

While I was warming up my bike I saw a mohawked rider heading down Grayson in Berkeley on a black 620 (I think) Monster.

North 101 Tuesday 9/30, 5 pm-ish
Me: duqette
You: yellow Monster, low pipes, matte black helmet.
We played tag for a bit headed up from San Mateo....  [cheeky]

Black and White Monster with Monroe plate holder with no plates yet
at Fourth and Jackson in San Jose.

I think a Ninja was riding it since I waited by the bike and as soon as I walked away
and turned around for one last look it was gone  >:(

10/18

  Red tank, grey frame, custom exhaust.  Downtown Danville around 12:30 pm.  Kind of a "caught just a glimpse" type of sighting as we were going opposite directions.

Later

OK, who was that waving wildly at me out the rear side window of a late model white SUV on 101 South just before the Poplar Ave exit about 6 pm this eve (10/19)?

I'm sorry I didn't wave back, but the road's a little rough there, and ... do I know you? I didn't get a real good look  ??? ???

Anyway, Cheers!  [beer]

Black/silver monster, nice riding with you on Hillsdale towards 101 this morning.  I was on the black/red 695.

M900 metallic, parked at the UCSC parking structure at McLaughlin and Heller.  Thanks for half-blocking in my bike. [roll]

Picked you this morning, I think... I was the red Honda S2000... :-[

Saw a red Monster heading east on Crystal Springs just after 6 pm tonight...I was headed the other way on my Orbea with the obnoxious blinking headlight.

I have seen lots of Monsters in the Bay Area since I arrived Friday afternoon.  Most memorable would be the one in SF, near 5th and Harrison.  Rider had on a pink dress shirt and a pudding helmet!

White 696 in the Target parking lot in San Ramon, around noon.  [thumbsup]

Just a couple of pics from the last couple of weeks...

It's Thursday morning 11/06 and I got two.  ;D

Hello to the red Duc on Fell last night 'bout 10:30!  [moto] Schweet!

And, Hello to the dark Monster headed south on 101 just after the 10th St. onramp this morning. Nice, um, green hightops you got there.  :-\  ;)

Saw Mostrobelle going to work this morning on Embarcadero. I was in a truck, headed out to an unpleasant meeting for work.

Hey that's my S4R with the star reservoir cover. Nice shots - those are a couple of nice looking bikes, and you have to like the police officer driving away in FEAR, lights ablazing in the second one.

tricolore s4rs in napa today around noon?  Passed me turning left from 12/121 onto old sonoma road?  pretty bike. 

Sunday morning, 8:45ish, Red/White S*R heading East on 116 just past the Sonoma dump. Me on my S4RS. Quick wave and were gone.  ;D Anyone here?

I went to pick up my helmet from Road Rider today and there was black 696 there. It looked good chillin' in the parking lot, leaning to its left with a silver and black helmet hanging off the right handlebar.

Mt. Diablo early afternoon today, metallic grey with red trellis tucked into Rock City, just past the South gate.

i believe those green high tops belong to me. haha. i was on my way to school.

Met a guy riding a s2r 800 dark last night at my work (REI, downtown). name was michael, not sure if he posts on here or not, i forgot to ask.

Yesterday (Saturday) at about 1:50 pm on Hayes St, right before the Gough St intersection. It was a dark.

I saw a Monster in the tell tail posture, a little lunged forward, sweeping past a couple of cagers coming out of the GG bridge toll plaza.

It was painted like a TIGRE head to tail.  ;D
Ciao Steve!

Yesterday going past the Chevron on Shelter Creek Ln. in San Bruno. It was red and fast and I was jealous :)

I was at the Chevron on the Red BMW F800S

Saw a black/red monster and a Vespa rider with a Ducati jacket heading south on 101 in Marin this afternoon.  I was in my cage.

I woulda said it was me, but I was wearing my 'stich today.

Black 695 in the bed of a p/u at the Shell stn. Lake Herman Rd. Benicia.  5:30ish. 

Later

Black Monster heading south on 680 this a.m. we both exited at Jacklin and I was behind you until I turned to go to Nichols.  Very loud pipes going up the grade.... [thumbsup]

Later

Custom painted pearl white 900 with a red stripe right down the middle and CF high mounts.  Parked right next to me off of 4th across the street from the Marriott Moscone.  Hawt.  [thumbsup]

I saw a dark little monster in the city a couple of times with a Pennsylvania plate.

You had a red jacket, black backpack, black monster, 880 S at about 6:30pm 2/20/2009

Red & white S4Rs, northbound on Hwy 1, in the excellent twisties just north of Pt Reyes Station. Today at around 2PM. I was on the blue S4R, followed by the red 848.

im such a creeper, but i was walking down Elsworth in Berkeley on my way to the roxy liqueur store and maybe a house or two past Parker i catch, out of the corner of my eye, the tail end of a little black monster in an apartment's underground garage. anyone here?

First time I've seen another Monster in Fremont. This afternoon about 4, on Mowry going towards 880, had a red frame.  I was going away from 880 on a 696 dark. Was it anyone here?

Saw a black Monster yesterday on The Alameda in San Jose around 12:30 on Saturday. 

I spotted a gimp on a red 620 on Saturday.  ;D [thumbsup]

http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=19972.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=19972.0)

There's a red M900 w/ DP clutch, open cover, CF pipes parked @ my work on Civic Dr in Walnut Creek.  [thumbsup]

Yesterday, 'bout 6 pm, Mission St, SF:
You: yellow !!! 800 bumble bee monster
Me: red 750 w/ tank bag

I pulled up next to you in the lane and said, "Nice bike." (How original)

Took you a second to realize I was a fellow ducatista....  [cheeky]

In Antioch/Brentwood area I saw a Black Monster SSS not sure what size with Quad D exhaust.

Anyone from this board? I get all excited when I see a Monster out in the boondocks where I live  :D

 ;D

Chatted with the cutie in Foster City today. 03-17-09 around 1pm.
She was riding a Black 2008 monster with tail chop. Me on my 1999 900 Blue Monster.
Ride safe girl  :P

My 695 was parked off of El Camino in Burlingame this morning.  When I returned to it, I found it had company, another black/red 695 (all stock) sharing the spot. :)

Saw DQ and BikerGoddess on Lombard this morning. They were heading out to Marin, and Jackie and I were on our way to the Farmers Market.

About two blocks before I saw them I remember thinking, "somebody's got a F'in loud Ducati!"

 [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

And as we came up Lombard, I remember seeing the red vespa...then the Ducati jacket....and thinking "That can only be one person..."

Nice seeing you two. BG and I spent the day up in Healdsburg, went to Bear Republic brewery, stopped by Luther Burbank Gardens, etc.

I knew they were Michael and Jackie right away! The Ducati jacket and the red Vespa were a dead giveaway.

Tigre sighting! Saturday 3/28, 6:30 ish

On my way to visit my bf in SF, saw Tigre go by (two up, nice matching helmets  ;) ) on Fell as I was waiting at the stoplight on Octavia.

Then, we saw the tigre bike parked on 9th on our way to dinner...  :D

Matching helmets?? Oh, that poor girl....
 :P ;D

Sunday, 2'ish. Red/White S4RS following a dark monster of some kind (it was close behind a truck and didn't get a good look). You were heading up Deer Park Rd (past St Helena Hospital on the way to Angwin/Pope Valley) as we were blasting down! Me on my Black/Silver RS (Yellow Euro Headlight) with my wingman in tow on a blue speed triple.

Anyone here?

Let's see....a yellow 916/748 or the like, seen twice on Sunday on Grizzly Peak and a red Sport Classic on the same road.  Oh and a 1098 at the vista point.  Lot's of Ducs out and about. 

Later

Guy and gal on Shell Blvd. in Foster City riding two-up on an S4RS.  DP Bagster tank bag, CRGs and Spark CF high mounts...among other mods.  Nice bike. 

Sunday morning I saw a pearl white/red Monster in a group ride coming down Tunitas Creek, I was headed up it on my bicycle.

Tuesday night (4/21).  Titanium S4RT near the Ferry Building w/ remus pipes.

Hi there  :D to the red tank red frame Duc that passed me this morning on 101 S near Candlestick. Nice bike ...  [moto]

A couple times on San Thomas before 101... Black Monster/Red Frame. Really Clean.

That rules out my bike! [cheeky]

Just a wild guess, but the guy under the helmet may have ruled you out too.

Hey!  That's me!

I've seen a sharp 696 Dark in the same place a couple of times.  [thumbsup]

Dan, nice to see you on Jamison Creek. :)

I ended up getting two more flats, one on Pine Flat and one on Swanton (turns out my rim tape developed a hole). :P
I walked 5 miles on Swanton / 1 before Dave came to the rescue.

Nice to meet you - officially, unofficially.  :D

Today on 101 South at Bowers.  8 Yellow Ducs - closely followed by a CHP. 

Ok. It was really 8 ducks - a momma and her babies walking the wrong way up the freeway.  The officer was walking right behind them writing in a notebook.  If I hadn't been riding I would have tried to take a picture.  It was really funny to see this - and the officer writing made it perfect.  I could just hear him saying "I'm writing you up for going the wrong way on the freeway.  Please walk heal to toe on the line for 9 steps, stop and turn around.  Ma'am, I'm going to have to take you in for child endangerment."

Red 90's monster (900?) on side of the road on eastbound 237 (before the 1st street exit). He was reluctantly pulling out his license and registration for the police officer who pulled him over.

 :(

I love that!!!     ;D ;D ;D

695 heading south(?) as we came into Fairfax around 10am.  You waved.  There were 5 of us.  One was very, very shiny.
Black(?) monster with something red on the tank heading north as we came into Pt. Reyes.  You waved.  There were 5 of us.  One was very, very shiny.
Earlier model monster (750 maybe?) heading S on Gough in SF a little before 1pm.  Two of us came by you.  One was very, very shiny.

Saw the same bike downtown by the Embarcadero Center yesterday. Black with red flames.

That may have been Alfonso:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/3072643378_5dbfd5a0e4.jpg?v=0)

That looks like it.  Single disk.

Dents in the tank?

It was going the other direction.  I didn't see anything other than the single disk, the color and the red thingy on the tank.

I parked my dark 695 next to a (dirty) white 696 on 16th and Telegraph in Oakland today this afternoon. It was cool seeing the two next to each other.

Thursday evening on El Camino in Sunnyvale I saw a Pearl M1100S at a cross street.  I did a double take, he made the turn, caught up to me.  We stopped at a light and started talking and then had to pull off to talk longer. We ended up talking for about 20 minutes. Good times.  I asked - he isn't on here.

Today, filling up at the Chevron at ~1:30pm at 9th and Howard.

Today at Pt Reyes, passing in front of Bovine Bakery, saw a red Ducati Superbike with a white end. Rider had full leathers black with a stripe on jacket. Circa 3:30 pm.

Saturday:
Blasting up 101 through Marin - Red Monster -retro Ducati Jacket - doing 70 each of us, he initiated the waved  [thumbsup] I waved back across the divider.

Micheal Moore?

Sorry, some impostor. I was shopping with the missus on Sat. and moving considerably slower.

I parked next to a really clean Silver S2R 1000 today in front of Cycle Gear in San Jose.   [thumbsup]

Red SS driven by one Charlie's Angel @ TamBucks -10:30-ish

We was just passin through.

FYI - Stevie has pixs of you, Pierre and the rest of your gang rounding the bend.
Will post over the weekend.

~T

I *think* I just saw Spidey thunder down 26th St near Church...

Yup, dat was me.  [moto]  I was rockin' the disco helmet.  [laugh]

S4rs heading south from Pt. Reyes @ 9:30a-10am today, Sun 6/21.  We were two monsters, one verrrrrry shiny.  We exchanged waves.

So you were able to tear yourself away from Spongebob long enough for a ride?  :P

Yup.  Drunken Monkey and I did a short Father's Day jaunt.  Being a dad newbie, I didn't realize that Father's Day is all about trying to get as far away from one's family as possible.   ;D

Saw a Chromo on 580 this morning getting flat bedded, hope the rider's OK!, and especially the bike, looked nice from traffic  [thumbsup]

Another Chromo in the bay area?

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

(http://www.filmdope.com/Gallery/ActorsC/3486-8556.gif)

 I saw you yesterday passing Farley's in a snappy gray number and Nolan.
I mused at how much the sound of your bike changes as it comes and goes over the hills.
The dry clutch dominates the early Doppler and the pipes take over in the deep baritone of the late Doppler.

I saw a stock red 695 heading west on 92 this morning around 9 AM between 101 and 280.

You passed me, then I was immediately behind you in a white '62 Ford Falcon until you exited at 280.

Saw Gabe on Sh's ex-yellow Monster 620 en route to work on Sacramento and Presidio (ok, ok, I also see it everyday since it's garaged next to my Duc...)  ;D ;D

Yellow monster (620?) with lime green wheels @ STP @ 9:50am.

(http://www.wfaa.com/s/dws/img/standing/wfaa/lost/blog/lymon.gif)

Tri-Colore two-up at Pt. Reyes Station around 11am today.  Also, an S4rs with termis same place, same time.

White S4rs in the garage of Draeger's in San Mateo. Aug 8.

Tuesday August 4th, 1130am, Quincy, Ca

I waved to a red Monster with crg's and a silver/bronze frame that rode past me on Shattuck by the Berkeley/Oakland border around 1:00 today. I was on my blue Suzuki (I wish they came in black).

Looked like Steve's Tiger monster ... and Michael Moore's Streetfighter, eastbound on Skaggs at around 1:30 pm today.  I was going the other direction and waved.

Saw a purty S4RS out at the bridge on skaggs today.   [thumbsup]

 [thumbsup] And I saw a "monster" of different kind as well! ;D It was good to meet you Dave! Hope you are enjoying the priller and I'll see ya out and about mebbe....

See many cops on Skaggs? I heard there was a fatality there last week, and they usually step up enforcement when that happens. I'm hoping to ride it this week...midweek :)

Hmmm, no one out there mentioned a fatality. There were no  [leo] out there that I saw or heard (with my radar)...

I had specifically asked a rider that came out while we were BS'ing if he had seen any on the way out to be sure in advance of my planned bonzai run in. I would highly suggest you do a sane pass and look for them everywhere before you hit it hardcore...

Thanks for the intel...really looking forward to hitting that road on the SS.

The fatality was two weeks ago. But yeah, that usually is enough for a big crackdown.

I think midweek is the only way to go. More squids than the Monterey Aquarium otherwise.

Funny thing was, there was no one on the road at all! Aside from the 3 guys at the bridge with us, I passed no one going in and saw no one going the other direction. I don't ride it that much anymore due to the "presence" and the popularity but every time I have, it has been empty.

Wow, lucky. I was there a couple of weeks ago and nearly got taken out by some guy on a 600CBR who ran *way* wide on his corner and was on the outer edge of my lane. All I could do was pass him on the left. He ended up in the ditch so that was a good call on my part.

 :o  :o  :o  :o Yikes!

It was good meeting you (and Rich) too Chuck.  I'll be doing more riding on the roads "less travelled", so chances are better...

Skaggs is a cycle, like the moon and the tides.  There will be enforcement on and off for a while, then the LEOs will go elsewhere.  Word will get out that it's "open" again and the crowds (and squids) will appear.  People will start crashing, then someone will crash and get hurt, or die and the LEOs will show back up.  Sad, but true - you'd think we'd learn. 

Saw a nice red S*R in Pt. Reyes Station today, about 4:30pm. Piloted by a woman in those cool Dainese "tattoo" leathers. It wasn't anyone I recognized from other rides, but on the off chance you're a lurker, "Hi".

Beautiful afternoon for a ride...

Just spotted a few MOBsters in my driveway. ;D [thumbsup]

[thumbsup]

Saw a nice Yellow Monster (900?) today at noon on 17.  He rode behind me for a bit then got off at Lark.

Anyone here?

Was walking out of Picante in Berkeley this saturday morning and saw parked a red older monster and a 696 dark.. I suspect it belonged to the couple waiting in line to order.

Saw Jason on his MTS, Stephanie on her SS and damn! I forgot the other 2 guys names, one on a 696 and the other guy was rockin' his vespa in full Dainese!   [thumbsup] Yesterday in Bodega Bay. Good to run into you again Jason. Nice to meet you Stephanie and "others" Really sorry I forgot your names, I'm terrible like that.  >:(

Super shiny silver/chrome tank monster passed me just now on I 80 headed south in Berkeley.  REEAAALLLY pretty bike!   [thumbsup]

Hmmm. I hope my bike's still parked in the garage  ;D (It weren't me)

Hey C!
Great putting a face to your handle and meeting the "Wingman" ;)
What an awesome day it was yesterday for riding!  We ended up hitting some pretty slow one-lane traffic on 116 going through Sebastopol - hope you guys didn't have the same problem.  [bang]
We ended up heading to the Waterbar in SF and enjoyed some $1 oysters, a kick-a** view of the Bay Bridge and enjoyed the rest of the warm weather  [beer]  So happy to be living in the Bay Area!

Ciao for now!

Don't worry. She didn't say the lights were flickering.  ;D

9/28 I-80 East around University there was a Red monster, older style with gold frame, huge overstuffed soft saddlebags. minimal gear, clipons, splitting on the RIGHT shoulder at around 60mph with traffic moving just fine..


D-bag!

Nice chatting with you this morning.  My 1100 looks a little different than the 696.  :)

Well, "chatting" is a little generous.  I always wear earplugs, so communicating isn't always painless.   ;)

The 1100 looks great.  Black and red is obviously the best combo for Monsters!   [laugh]  How long did you keep the 696 before moving up?  6mo?  I hope you don't think less of me for riding a "little" 695.

I had it 14 months.  :)

I don't think less of anyone if they are on most bikes.  I'm actually envious of your full red frame vs. the split frame of the 696.

Not Monsters but too pretty not to post.  I saw these yesterday at Alice's.

(http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj71/sroberts152/IMG_0035.jpg)

(http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj71/sroberts152/IMG_0036.jpg)

I talked to the owner of the F1 for a while.  I think I convinced him to get rid of the pipe wrap and just ceramic coat the pipe.  He did this because the pipes were getting so hot it was starting to melt the lower fairings (That's why they aren't on there).

And people today complain about 02 sensors and FI glitches.

Back in *my* day, Ducatis were fire breathing monsters that regularly melted, exploded, had horrible electrics and made you tear your pants off and throw them into trees.

Also, get off my lawn  ;D

I saw a hypermotard riding two up on 3rd street crossing market

also, down by the Fed Reserve, so a guy in a Dianese jacket with a streetfighter.

You were down by the Fed? My office is right across the street :)

I walked down to the Ferry Building / Market for lunch today.


Had some killer clam chowder and fresh lemonade.

but


I was the only  person not consuming alcohol.....hmmmmm

Mine too. Are we coworkers?

One California St...a certain CRM company.

Cool. You work in my wife's building and across the street from mine. She works as a corporate accountant at MA. I'm with PGE.

Howdy, neighbor. :-)

a very sharp S2R ??? (maybe custom paint?) on 4th st, downtown Santa Rosa this morning

saw a white 696 (it was going fast!) on Mission or Howard St this morning, can't remember


exhaust sounded killer


Is it a prereq to own a ducati here if you ride?

Pretty much...

They hand them out at the airport and borders. Didn't you get your free Monster when you arrived?

In all seriousness, I'm waiting for the day I don't see another Monster. Then I'll start a new thread called "Monster No See Today."

Damn, I must have flown into the wrong terminal!!!

Patrick(?)/ptam(?) ... sorry, brain cells firing blanks right now ...  [bang]

Bikeless in Denver airport today 1:30-ish local time in Terminal C. I was upstairs in distance while you checked the flight monitors.

 

Had to resurrect this thread 'cause I saw, and exchanged nods with, a rider on a rather -- shall we say -- unique Ducati.
Tuesday 12/1, 'bout 11:20 am, headed north on 101 by SFO.
Brown jacket, red and silver helmet, red tank duc, with a huge strange silver front faring with a maltese cross on it.

What was that?!?

I was on the duqette, rrrrrrred Monster.

OK, ride safe everyone.  [moto]

I was riding my black/red 695 yesterday on 84, saw another female rider on a white 696 wearing a white/pink helmet.  We rode together from the 84/Canada intersection to 280.  Nice seeing you. [thumbsup]

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but I was lane splitting behind a M1100 (Plate- "M1100") on the Embarcadero yesterday

Normally not comment worthy, but at the final light before the Embarcadero becomes 280 the guy pulled a biiiig wheelie  [thumbsup]

Anyone we know?

Was it a white one?  1100S?

Red and white, I seem to recall and I never got next to him ( was lane splitting behind him) to see if it was an S

There is a guy around riding a White 1100S.  He has come out to the South Bay Ducati dinners at Santa Row at least once.  I can't remember his name but he puts a ton of miles on and tends to throw the front tire up - a lot.
