for posting up those bikes (preferably Ducati) that you have spotting while out and and about on our local roadways.....
today I spotted a Metallic Monster that might have been an '01 900 with stock pipes and stock look about it...rider was wearing black jacket and jeans and a dark helmet...this was 7:01am on River Road headed towards DC as you were rolling up to the light at Little Falls Parkway....I was walking down Bulter road with my morning 7-11 coffee....

Gloss black on red 695 Thursday night on King St in Old Town going 2-up. This evening the same 695 headed from Walter Reed towards Shirlington Villiage.
Rider in black helmet and black jacket w/ 3 silver stripes on the sleeves. Think it might be an icon make that zips off.

Hi Erin! Guilty as charged
Today going S on 395 (got off at Seminary I think).
Black (not dark) classic style with low pipes (maybe forza) came zipping up through light traffic. Rider was wearing all black leathers. This was around 12:00 to 12:30
I was in the HOV lanes headed S so it was hard to make out the details.
Black 1098S on I street and Connecticut? You pulled up next to me (white 848) and we both gave a big ole [thumbsup].
Couldn't see you because of the smoked visor.
Tues 10pm - Dark with stock low mounts parked on a corner, off of Connecticut Ave NW in Chevy Chase, DC. I feel iffy about giving out parking locations in case someone parks there regularly and someone else decides to "move" it.
5-23 ~0630 Multistrada at the intersection of Rolling Rd. and Old Keene Mill in Springfield, VA We gave each other the [thumbsup].
Black Monster w/Termi low mounts.

Saturday - Met a Silver Spring chica with a leather 80s Ducati jacket who rode her red 620 to a BBQ in Takoma Park, MD. Hopefully she'll make her way onto the DMF and CAM soon.
A red 620 on Saturday morn in front of Asylum. Anyone? Bueller?
Heading out of Front Royal this morning I saw a 695 red frame/black tank (Mike?) and another Monster but didn't get a good look. Were ya'll headed to the parkway? I just came off it. Followed a nice beemer down the mountain and through F. Royal. It was pretty fast being yellow and all

+1 I see that bike everyday since we have a project in the area...location withheld to protect the innocent.
Sort of out of the area, but worth a try...
Rt. 15 near Thurmont, a red Monster and what looked like a red 1098. You were traveling together headed south, I was headed north on the blue monster.
ALSO -
Rt. 15 north at the Rt. 26 exit, a yellow sport classic. I waved at you to "come along" and you caught me (heavy traffic) just south of Thurmont. We rode at a "spirited pace" [leo] until I passed you and you exited at Rt. 77 in Thurmont, I assume headed west.
This is a record for me - 3 ducati's in one day! ;D Actually saw 4 as a co-worker at motorcycle class had a supersport.
Memorial Day around 5 PM: Red/white S2R or S2R1000, in Annapolis down by the water. Solo rider.
Today, around 630, red/white S2R1k, cruising through Fairfax. Rider had a black/yellow jacket and helmet. (I think it was black and yellow). Sounded very stock.
Wed 9am - Solid black with fairing and black low mounts turning left from the Key Bridge into Georgetown. Rider wore black gear and a black w/blue helmet.
9:12am - Solid black with fairing on 267E merging onto 66E.
This morning Thursday the 29th all black gear black helmet with tinted visor on a ducati 620 i dont know the year on new hampshire ave going towards colesville road!
Thurs 1:39pm (?) - Dark turning from Waxpool onto Pacific Blvd by Wegman's. Rider wore a black textile jacket and a solid silver helmet.
5/30...Red monster parked in the garage on West Ox and Monument Dr.
Talked to you for a minute about the site and your SWEET exhaust system! What the heck is that anyway? [clap]
Sun 6pm - In front of my apt near Scott/Logan Circle - Yellow 750SS with black rattle-canned stock pipes, flush mount signals broken on right side, and painted rash marks on left side body panels. Parked next to a chained-up scooter off of the curb.
Mid afternoon on 6/1 while on rt. 9 south of Berkeley Springs, WV, I stopped to clean my visor at an overlook (or perhaps "The Overlook"). There was a group of sportbikes there, including a 748. The 748's owner said they were from a club in Cumberland (on the border of MD and WV). I didn't get his name.
Ride was very good except that by the time I got partway through the best stretches of rt 9, the road had become wet from what were apparently brief downpours. I did rt. 9 fromAshburn/ Leesburg, VA and from rt 9 in WV, I took rt. 29 to rt. 50 back to VA. Since I'd already been rained on briefly a few times, I opted to take the quick way home on rt. 7 back to Ashburn from Winchester.
Black monster, bikini fairing, low pipes on 66 headed East this morning?
Gave you a [thumbsup] as i passed. I was on the white 848.
Sunday, around 2:15: Red frame/black tank, presumably a 695, headed west bound on the GW Pkwy. I didn't get a chance to catch more details as the Maserati Quattroporte in front of me hit the brakes, demanding my attention. I was eastbound on a black Multistrada, wearing an orange helmet.
~1:40 pm Southbound Georgia Ave, just before the metro track over pass.
A carby 900 with Chartreuse colored wheels and belt cover, sporting some polished cans and a fancy integrated LED tail. Rider was in a white Suomy or Arai Helmet w/ what looked to be some make of Ducati jacket.
Never seen that oen before - I'd remember those belt covers anyplace
Termi'd, red framed black 695 heading N on Conn Ave making a left on Bradley. Rider wearing a black A*s jacket I think.

All red Monster with low mount Termis in Maple Lawn Friday night. Parked in front of Ranazul most of the evening. Anyone?
Sun 11:48am - Red 749 or 999 heading west through Georgetown on M St & Canal Rd.
Sunday at 7-7:30-ish...saw a red Monster on 99 headed towards 29...had bar end mirrors and that was all I could make out based on the topography and pass...was going the other way in a white Volvo....

That sounds like my friend's GT1000 with custom paint. He lives near there and was on his way to meet me for a ride.
Today,
695 black and red on 695 north of Baltimore heading east about 3 miles before 83.
Tues 9:30am - Stock low cans and black frame, so I guess a Dark tank, with barends heading west from the beginning of 66. Rider wore a black and white leather Icon jacket with matching helmet, and blue jeans.
FAIRFAX,VA noon on Sunday
Rider waiting to turn left onto Rt-236/50. Red tank monster, might have been an M750. Rider had a black jacket and red/grey/black (?) helmet on. I honked at you, you turned and I waved (Dark Volvo with an air horn!)
Saturday 1pm - Red on red heading south on 18th St NW past Lauriol Plaza.
Also nearby was a Dark with black rattle-canned pipes with yellow Jolly Rogers on them. DCDuck?
Gloss black monster turning from Jahnke road onto Forest Hill Ave. ( RVA)
does anyone find anyone on this thread?
Yeah, they do. There's just a lot more monsters and Ducs running around than visit this site. But I know I've been spotted and spotted other CAM'ers I recognized on site.
Sunday 5:45 at Red Eyes, red 1098 and red 1000S I was going in to observe the festivities
and you two were already observing.
Monday, a bit before 10am (I think). Coming up 95 onto 495 and then off to 295. Grayish, open headers, ,tail chop, looked like blinkers in the frame holes, and a checkered flag helmet.
Oh, it also had a modulating headlight. It was behind me as we were going onto 495 and every time we went under a bridge the shadow turned the modulating off. Do they all do that? I thought it was a switch.

No, not for sympathy, purely for identification purposes. Don't worry though, everyone will get their chance to rag on me tomorrow at Rhodeside.

Tuesday 1530 a 749 Dark pulled up to the Express Fuel at the corner of Loisdale and 7100. Rider was wearing a helmet with black, white, and gray graphics and a backpack. I was the chick in the blue STi waiting at that light ogling the bike. I love the look of the xx9 series bikes now, for some odd reason.
Tues 3:15pm - Skurvy parked in front of La Madeleine in Reston. Nice Quat-D high mounts [thumbsup].

Groom Turns Heads With an Elephant of an Entrance

Sunday, June 15, 2008; Page C06
The bride was stunning in an ivory sari that sparkled with gold. But it was the groom who turned heads.
Manan Shah, 28, in the grandest of entrances, arrived at his wedding atop Minnie, a 7,000-pound Asian elephant. The celebration yesterday morning outside the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center stopped joggers mid-stride and had security guards cracking smiles. Tourists lined up with cameras, and locals snapped photos on cellphones.

That must have been expensive. He could probably have bought every Cagiva in the US for less money.

Desi weddings are awesome when they go full blast.
They have horse and elefant rentals for them. Runs about 2000/hr + permit.
Have cell phone, will take crappy cell phone pix...

what colour was the helmet? I saw the same bike at 1130
John, did I see you heading east on 32/97 at about 0730 this last week? You started working graveyard? ;D
Not me Andy. It might have been Rob (Dutch900 on Ducati.ms). Our ST's are the same color and he lives in Severn.
I havent ridden to work in about a month. My wife and I commute together in our TDI to save money on gas. Were 10 mins apart. She's in Savage and I'm in Columbia. The only riding i've been doing is officaiting at bicycle races on the weekends. I now get my 300 miles a week in one day instead of spreading it out.

6/28 10:30ish? - Black 696 spotted southbound on Wisconsin Ave. right near The Shops at Georgetown Park. Rider had black+white leather jacket and jeans.
1200 or so on Tuesday, a silver/black stripe S2R1k going east on 7900 making a left onto northbound Beulah and then an immediate right into the Manchester Lakes shopping center. I was trying to explain to the passengers about how I knew it was a 1000. "Hear that clackety clack? Yeah, that's it."
Spotted a black 696 with bar end mirrors headed towards Front Royal, VA on Route 55 today.
Tues 7:35pm - Not a Monster but a yellow cruiser with a yellow Scorpion helmet pulling into Hunters Woods Village Center at Glade and Colts Neck. Gene?
Saw a red s4 today in Kensington making a left on Plyers Mill. Rider was wearing a chrome brain bucket, tank top, shorts and docksiders. Bike sounded Nice! [thumbsup]
< 2pm - Red S2R* with stock pipes and a red-white-blue Arai Corsair on Reston Pkwy approaching the toll road.
Sat 7:30pm - Black on red 1098S on U St near 18th.
1530 going east on 7900 and turning south on Beulah in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria, we spotted a very nicely loaded red on gold 750 (or 620 with an oil cooler) with CF DP exhaust. The rider wore a red pilot lid and black jacket. The bike had red saddlebags and a large duffel bungeed onto the tail. For some reason, I don't think he was a local. If you saw some chick staring at you out of a black Ram 1500, I wasn't just gawking at the bike. I was trying to figure out who you were!
Yesterday around 4pm: Yellow S4R in the parking garage for the new Target in Columbia Heights
Today around 6:15pm: Awesome sounding 749 Dark blasting through Thomas Circle. Male rider wearing khakis and a dress shirt.

9:20 AM this morning - Black/Red 695 parked on Mt. Vernon in Delray (Alexandria, VA), in front of the UPS Store.
I saw Drew leaving Coleman's this afternoon. Yeah, you blew off my wave, but I was going incognito in the STi. You went right across my bow making that shady left/u-turn (right behind a cop, btw, who had already pulled someone over, but did turn his head at the sound of the whackety-whack).
Thurs 8:58 AM - Not a Ducati, but some other brand of fully dressed silver sport tourer, whose rider wore a Ducati Daytona Tex jacket. He turned from Sunset Hills onto Reston Pkwy toward the toll road.
9:12 PM - Ducati 80s jacket on a Monster heading westbound on Whitehurst Fwy. The sun was gone and I couldn't see over the divider.
Friday, 11 July at Chantilly (WF):
A 696 "on display" at a small car/bike event

Mon 7/14 at 5:20 PM ( that'd be 17:20 for some of yalls ) a Monster Dark with stock cans and rider wearing no jacket and a flat black helmet with tinted visor pulling out of a parking spot from the side of the CVS on Bradley Blvd going westbound just a few yards from Wisconsin Ave....I was in my Subaru Baja and nodded at you even though it looked like you were looking at what you were supposed to be looking at to roll out.

Not me. My brain bucket is black and I prefer sandals.
Yesterday, Tuesday, just after 0700 a red/white stripe S2R 1000 crossed our bow heading north on Beulah as we were pulling out from Steinway in Alexandria. You turned left onto 7900 west/north and we turned off towards the Metro.
Yesterday a Black with red framed 695 was weaving with ease through traffic on Connecticut right around Florida Ave. Rider wearing 1/2 helmet with shield and a multi colored textile jacket.
My employee riding in the truck with me was amazed that I knew there was a Duck coming at least 15 seconds before we saw it...nice pipes!
9:12 AM - Yellow with front fairing turning from Connecticut onto Rhode Island. Rider was female with red/black Joe Rocket textile jacket. CrabbyJay?
10:15 PM - After dropping off Empress Duc and Ducati Culture, I was followed by a black and white S2R* for a few blocks down 16th St. I took Scott Circle, but you and your passenger in the white helmet went through the tunnel.
Thurs 5:15pm - Red on red with red helmet splitting lanes westward on K St just before the rain pelted down.
Fri 6:11pm - Red SBK with black helmet crossing Key Bridge into Georgetown from the middle lane.

Not me, but it did sound like me (I didn't ride today).
10:15 PM - After dropping off Empress Duc and Ducati Culture, I was followed by a black and white S2R* for a few blocks down 16th St. I took Scott Circle, but you and your passenger in the white helmet went through the tunnel.

That was me. You were wearing a pink jacket on a red 620 695 with rear pannier racks right? My girlfriend was excited to see a woman on a monster.

Tell your boss not to worry, cuz Zooom uses poor judgment without a motorcycle as well!

Tuesday, August 19th at 10:30am, in the square in Hagerstown, MD. Blue S4R, Arrow pipes, integrated signals, wearing black/gray duc jacket and helmet. You might have had a backpack on.
I heard you coming from a distance, I knew the sound!! I was standing inbetween two cars trying to get your attention as you drove by. I ran to the stop light, but you had pulled away by the time I got there. OMG, the open clutch in between the tall buildings was amazing. I just could not get your attention -CRAP!
I've got a blue S4R too, and you are the first one i've seen in two years on the road. [moto]
Anyone, anyone????

11pm-ish. Black 1098s parked across from the Whole Foods on P street. I parked my duc next to it and peeked into Stoney's to see if anyone was toting a helmet. I'm guessing the rider is some sort of ninja, because when I didn't see any helmets I went back outside and he was already gone...

Ninjas can kill anyone they want! Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was me! I live just down the street from old town, and I cruise through there a lot to check out the bikes. I've only had my bike for a couple weeks, and really haven't gotten up the courage to park there and chat it up with the Harley guys. Was going to check it out again this weekend, but I think we're gonna get hammered with rain all weekend.
Cool! I too live just down the street from Old Town. I'll be down there this morning for a little bit. Nah, I never park next to Harleys. I park by my self (or with other sport bikes) usually since the Duc is in a class by itself!
I'll keep an eye out for ya! Go to the picture thread I posted so you know what my bike looks like.

Ha, bubble tea is awesome! I live right down the street from Old Town, I'm always down there and never see any Ducs, just the usual HD or HD wannabe bikes. ???
Friday 2 January at 1112 on westbound 50 right around the Queen St exit in Arlington, I saw what I think was a Dark. I was going in the opposite direction, so a relative speed of 90+ mph made it kind of hard to distinguish.
Multiple Ducs out today:
Red Monster with bikini fairing, sometime around 1 PM on River Road just west of the beltway, with two other bikes one of which may have been a Monster, but there were cars blocking my view.
Yellow Multistrada on West Willard, near Poolesville

One was red and one had a license plate that said bumblebee so you can guess the color.

i saw the front 1/3 of the bike as I was approaching and when I passed I only got a glance at the rest of it. I thought I saw it on the gas tank somewhere. But who knows... Memory can play too many tricks for me to say for sure.
I've had a parking ticket stuck under the gas keyhole flap when the credit card meter wouldn't accept my two credit cards >:(.

Today I saw the most beautiful Monster parked outside my office. Black s2r 1000 with a ton of very tasteful modifications. Clearly the owner has very good taste and must be a very nice guy [bow_down]. His bike was parked in my parking spot though, and for some reason, I found the keys for it in my own pocket.. ;)
Aren't we all so lucky here in this board!!! [moto]

That was me - I gotta check this post more often. Hella loud - but I love the look. Ear plugs only, unless you are just going around the block. I live about a mile from there if you ever want to hear it in person.....
Sunday morning in the rain, when I was making my way from one cheering station to another for the Avon Breast Cancer walk, when I spied a Monster Dark ( I think a 620 ) parked sitting out in the rain at 36th st NW right off of Calvert St/ Observatory Circle....

Kerrazy. I also live about a mile from there.
The bike looked really nice. Well done.
Thanks! If I can just find the time I've got an SBK fork swap to put on, clip-ons, and a tail chop to install. All more blacked out parts......

Saw a nice sounding M900? yesterday riding North on Connecticut Ave making a rt on Florida I think..... Chrome helmet, blk leather jacket. Nice bike!

Lars - I was wonding why you called. It wasnt me. I wasnt on Harwood Rd until 4:30pm and I was on my bicycle training. It might have been Dutch900.
So no one saw me representing as a moto marshall during the big pro bike race thru Crystal City yesterday?
Actually, I was calling to tell you about the performance improvement that was made to my bike.
I knew the ST I saw wasn't you because it didn't have the DD headlight.
I think Rob has the newer fairing.

Funny thing is that i passed a yellow monster (rider had blue t-shirt, no jacket) on Dover Road in Butler, which seemed to the the same person wearing the same blue t-shirt i passed that previous Monday while i was checking the route on the same road no less....ok, maybe not funny, just struck me as odd.

Yeah, it's a 696. The speed is about right. I looked down and saw 67 when you went by. You took off on 66, though. It was too windy for my liking so I was taking it easier on the highway that I usually would.

I was there a LOT last year, surprised you didn't see me before!
I'm in Ballston... I might be on a black 749s mono as well.
I'd seen it and commented before ;D The most recent time I had my hound with me - I don't think Busboys would appreciate me rolling in with 70 pounds of Akita-Boxer mix.

Although North Beach is fairly close to my home near Solomons, I wasn't on the PS over the weekend.
Saw & heard an 1198 S Corse rattling on the Shirlington strip yesterday. I rarely see 10's; first time I've seen an 11 rolling. Nice looking machine.
I keep seeing a group of 2-3 hypers a bmw and something else riding by my house off of Light street in Baltimore at least once a week. would it be anyone from here ???

this morning at 6:35am on Connecticut Ave headed southbound at Beach Drive waiting at the light you were on the Black S2R 1000 with highmount L&R undertail carbon fibre Zard exhaust with the emissions cannister still on hanging on the front of the left side and I missed what open clutch set-up you had
I was on my Cagiva Gran Canyon.
There is a black 749S in the garage at my new condo. Anyone here live in The Pointe, off King Street in Alexandria?
A red 696 getting air at the shirlington Shell about 30 seconds ago. Rider in matte black helmet, jeans n some sort of jackety looking top

I am. I was walking to the gym that's just across from the station. Side note - if you ever need your va inpection done go there. They tend towards letting bikes skip the line
Well... It wasn't just a T shirt, but didn't have the bulk (or obvious brand badging) of most motosprcific jackets. So, I was just guessin'
Dark wing / Yuu, we should arrange a meet up and go for a ride some evening..seems stupid not to, all three of us living in shirlington village. I live in IO Piazza, how about you guys?
Hmm hmm yeah. Though my bikes in Annandale, so not at easy hand. But I do want to get some more riding in than I have.
You have any notion who owns the red n white S2R 800 I see around Harris tetter all the time? Always see the bike, never a rider.
I'm over in windgate 2 down arlington mill dr from you. If you see some one that looks like a scoccer hooligan walking a stripey dingo dog - odds are that's me. We regularly hit best buns weekend mornings.
And, I'm not familiar with the details of a 696, but I've got a full suite of tools for shade-tree wrenching if you need it. Same offer goes for darkwing or anyone else for that matter
I actually might not stay in Shirlington, depending on what comes from the talk I have with the L/L tomorrow. Might actually try to swindle my way into free housing on Bolling...

Bolling... ick. Free is good... but ick. Have fun havin' no life ;D
I need to order up some DMF stickers and write on the back. There's also a Toyota pick'em'up I see all the time in the Harris Tetter lot with a bunch of Duc stickers.
Yea, I know. Bolling is a bit out there. As I said, depends on what happens tomorrow. I was talking to another tenant in the condo building today, and he is paying significantly less per month than what my L/L is asking. Couple that with the fact that the place is smaller than advertised, neither the AC nor the laundry dryer are operable (supposed to have been fixed before I got here) and the fact that I was told the place had gas heat when it in fact has electric... Not really feeling the love for that condo anymore. Know anything about the Millbrook complex?
Hmm ok that sounds shadey. You checked 'The Shirlington House'? it's right down (south) 31st from the end of shirlington villiage.
Got no info on Millbrook - sorry. You know I'm useless for apt info. But there is a 1br place about 200 yards from me that just popped a for rent sign over the weekend. 2582 Arlington mill drive. http://www.peggyparker.com/rentals.htm (http://www.peggyparker.com/rentals.htm)
Any idea on the size of that unit? I suppose it doesn't have a garage?
Wow, that sounds like a crappy situation, Bolling though..I think I'd pass. As far as the Red / White S2R, I've never seen it mobile, just parked in that harris teeter garage. I feel bad for it, looks like it needs some tlc, maybe a bath. Yuu, thanks for offering up the tools if ever needed, much appreciated man! Although I wouldn't mind a more experienced Duc owner taking a listen to mine sometime, there's a couple odd little sounds she makes when fully warmed up ???
Saw a black S4RS Testastretta today at Coleman FC. Asked everyone shopping if it was their bike. Nope. Must be someone who works there?
It was there for sale for quite a while. It had a sold note at one point... Perhaps it fell through

Not a clue. Those things sure are lookers though. Hell, I'd buy one just to get the alloy tank. [thumbsup]
Think I saw Massimo on his new (to him) 900 near the Pentagon as I was finding my way home from Arlington. [thumbsup]
Last night, on the way to the meet; saw a guy with an older yellow 750 at the King Street Five Guys. Pulled in to chat for a sec and turns out the guy had just bought it and was interested in learning about Ducs. I told him about this place, so hopefully we'll see him soon.
Saw Ian riding around in big circles while down at the dog park...
I keep seeing a SR2 1000 on 25th Street between Penn. Ave and M Street (Trader Joes). Stock with DC tags. Anyone here?

Yes. Today I saw a guy mullin' around near the bike smokin' a cig. Few mins later rolls out with a FF helmet, but no jacket.

There's an older red monster that I see at my office bldg from time to time. Haven't gotten a good look at it, as I only see it from afar or when I am in a rush to get inside. Caught a glimpse of it today as it was leaving. Guy had saddle bags, as well as a top bag on it.

Saw two SBKs out in Shirlington a little while ago. One was a red 10/1198 coming into the "town centre" and the other was a white 848 (with akra pipes) heading down Columbia Pike. Also saw a Ti on Red S4R down near the Pentagon when on my way out this afternoon. Went to catch him, but my exit conspired against me...
Yeah - I've seen that 848 several times in Shirlington Village. You'll probably see it again.
Saw a 1000S DS Multistrada parked in next to me on campus. givi trunk and utterly silent Termis since it was parked. I promise I didn't [drool] too much. :)
Funny guy ("Best bike to ride in traffic") in Bethesda around 1PM today on a SS 900 -- slab sides.
What did I spy with my right eye - a beautiful Ducati parked out front of Lima on @ 14th & K St. NW around 4:00pm. DW, would this be you?
I've seen an SC1000 parked outside of Lima sometimes. I think he works there or something. There is also a 696 that parks in the motorcycle area there.

Saw a couple Monsters yesterday. First was on 17/55, red Monster riding 2 up. Turned right onto 688(?). Second was in Middleburg. Lots of bikes in town and lots of traffic. Saw a new Monster, not sure which size (I was keeping my eyes on the road), parked on the curb. White with red frame and the ring and piece that goes across the headlight were also red. Looked good from the quick glimpse I got.
The white with red frame was me. I think I noticed the red two up monster too. I was at the Red Horse Tavern taking a break. There are some great roads back there. I had a blast riding. I was with two other Monsters (1100's), two Multi's, and a cbr 1000rr. Good times.

This morning while on my way to work: came upon a black and tang S2R800 (with tang wheels) while turning onto the Key Bridge going towards Georgetown. Talked to the rider (Sherry I think she said her name was) while stopped at the light and told her about this place. Hopefully we'll see her here soon. [thumbsup]

I think B would redefine what a mod could and should be.
guys, we can discuss this offline or by PM, but we're not going to be adding moderaters to the DMF any time soon. No organization stuff could be done with mod status that can't be done without it.
If Ben has ideas for the section that require a different usergroup status he can discuss them with me outside of the CAM spotting thread.
Hell, I'm just trying to get my hands on the graphics so I can do up some cards...

They've already started, lol. It used to be me and only one other guy that parked there. In the past month or so though, a bunch of people all of a sudden are trying to ruin my little area. Pretty soon they're going to end up ticketing everyone. Way too many bikes there now.

I was honestly amazed that the Commonwealth hadn't already ticketed everyone. I just figured it was a sanctioned parking area for bikes and bicycles. Hopefully things will not change, parking in that area is hard sometimes. Not sure where you are located in Va but the next Meetup in next week Thursday in DC. You should come through think Adam's Morgan will be the local.
I currently live in the District, so that will be close to me. I've only made it out to one of the weekly meetups in Shirlington. Just so happened that I got rained on and the power went out there, lol. I haven't had a chance to make it out since then, but I'm hoping to come to next week's meet.

Saw a Dolci and a Zooom directing walkers in front of Knights of Columbus on Cedar Lane.
we were all over the place Fri-Sun directing walkers....
Jen...surprised you didn't comment on some of the mods to her bike for the event.....

Sorry, we were caged and getting honked at for stopping to honk/wave at Dolci. Thought I saw something on your windscreen. Was Sophia with you?

Yeah, you know... like that chick in Total Recall.
Over the weekend, heard but never saw a duc or other sporty twin scooting along on 395.
That was me quacking by on my new silver cycle! ;D So fast, you couldn't see me, eh?!

not a lot of surface area to mount boobs on a Monster along with the other accents that were already put on....
Red new Multi parked at my bldg at work yesterday and today. Red ST3S parked at another work bldg in Glenn Echo on both days as well. And finally, a dark Monster stuck in traffic, southbound on 395 between King Street and Seminary this afternoon around four-thirty.
Ratted through traffic with a red Monster S? with no headlight on GA Avenue this afternoon. Saw a couple Monsters, one red, heading in the opposite direction.
Nice day!

You guys live in the manassas area? I'm in bristow. I'd love to hook up on one of the weekend rides but it seems like they all start too far east.
On a different note, I stopped at the 7-11 on 50 today for a Coke and a smoke and ended up talking to a 1098 rider. Was that anyone here?
Met a lady monster rider this morning I'm shirlington while grabbing food. Her rides a Senna colors 750s. Didn't really know of the board so I gave her the info

Nah, we just happened to be riding through there as an alternative to slabbing on I66. In a perfect world: where would we meet that's convenient to you (and probably other riders in that area)? The next time I go west I'll make it happen.
Got any tips for roads in your 'hood? I'm familiar with Henderson and Hampton, but I couldn't turn it into a compelling ride.

Two mornings in a row - a black Multi with Red bags, rider in a white helm and Dainese jacket on 395/27 by the Pentagon.
8:10pm Tues 10/19 - I was the driver who cut off the car in front of a loud red S4* on 66E to take the Glebe exit. We turned onto Glebe, you stayed on it, but I turned right onto Wilson. You came from 267, wore a big black jacket with barely noticeable reflective stripe, and I believe your plate might be crooked.
10/24 yellow SS on River Road inside the Beltway going east in the morning and red 848 on Old Georgetown Road heading into Bethesda in the late afternoon. Where are the Monsters?
'bout 5:30-ish(roughly) I saw a yellow Sport1000 going outbound on River Rd after the beltway headed towards Potomac...I was at the Potomac Farmers Market getting a Pun'kin...white jacket with white helmet...Julie?

Nope. No white helmet here.
This morning @ 9:00'ish in Arlington: a dark 620 with DC tags parked in front of 210 N Park Drive, 2 blocks from my house. The bike is debadged, and the tank looks to have had work done. Stock otherwise.
Anyone here?
9:35am Sat 10/30 - Yellow Sport 1000 with white helmet, tan leather seat, and lots of bags parked on Constitution and 7th NW, near the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.
Twice in the same day, the same 1200 Multi. 1st time on the beltway getting off at Clara Barton and then on the ferry at Whites Ferry. It was part of a mixed group of 4 bikes lead by a couple on a cruiser.
Saw some flavor of monster on going north on the GWP. Dark or black with a fairing, but that's all I got.
12:00-12:30pm on Rt. 77 Thurmont headed downhill toward thurmont. Looked like
To me a 1100 monster, ohlins forks, aftermarket turn signals. All white arai helmet full spidi suit. I was in the Mercedes SLK350 in front of you. We had a hell of a spirited ride until we hit traffic. Gave you a thumbs up out the window as you rode into thurmont and I went on 15 north. You gave me a thumbs up back. :-).
My normal two wheel ride is a ducati S4R. It was a total hoot to ride down the hill with you. Hope I didn't hold you up any! :-) I don't think I did!
Saw a yellow 748 on Harwood while we were waiting on the tow truck. Then went past a red ST2/3 going west bound on the 50 while heading home...
Monster sighting on key bridge. Rider was a female headed towards M Street wearing a white helmet. Bike was black and I believe had an orange trellis (could be wrong). Was around 8:00 a.m.

That's an orange framed S2R800. I think her name is Susan, and works at the Georgetown Uni. I've talked to her a couple of times while riding through that area.

Sunday, black Monster on River Road, heading towards Bethesda, early afternoon.
Today, late this afternoon, I was outside my apartment building with my dog, and I saw a 1st gen Monster pulling out of my garage. Never seen it before, but it appeared to have a flat camouflage painted tank (could be way wrong, I didn't have my glasses on) and stocker pipes. Any idea who this is? Must've just moved in or something.
Find 'em, and leave a note. ;)
I said note, not a bunny boiling in a pot.

Red Monster 69*/79* on N. Lynn Street in Arlington pulled over and getting a ticket from Arlington's finest. Rider was wearing a grey jacket.

They also hang out at Fort Myer right past the underpass with speed guns pulling people over that speed through there.
Usual guy on his multistrada this morning [cheeky] and someone on a CBR heading up wisconsin through georgetown.
Pretty sure I saw a sneaky terrorist this morning, riding a silver G650...

Saw a red Monster cross EW Hwy going S on 16th earlier today. Brisk!
Not a monster, or even a Duc, but an intrepid BWM rider this morning I thought needed some Kudos. Wind chills on the highway must be well below 0

Which ones did you get?
Radial masters from an 08 848. Definitely a different feel for the bike but I LIKE.....

About 1:30 today a red 696 w/ paper tags and a rider in a Corse textile jacket and matte black lid going from 7100 to 66 to 495
If you see this - watch your posture in turns. Your head is going the right way, but you bring you shoulders and torso to the outside which forces more lean on the bike

the silver/black s2r is just hawt. i would trade my acid yellow/black for that even though i love the yellow/black.
thats the only angle the leovince 2:1 for the s2r looks good imho. the spaghetti collector looks weird from the side IMHO.
plus the leovince can is too long, should be chopped at least 2-4".

It's a matter of taste. I also had mine coated in a VERY bright finish to match the Sparks header and it made the spaghetti collector stand out. Maybe if it was all black coated it wouldn't bother me. I think it was the fact that it stuck out from the bike so far compared to the Sparks system (i have the SxS under seat setup)

I have a bandsaw. Pick up some stainless repack material and go for it.
When I chopped my Sparks cans, I got the metal parts ceramic coated which includes the internal baffles. That along with the stainless repack should make them last much longer.

Rode for a while alongside an SS 800 (?) on my way out to Winchester today. Nice bike! [thumbsup]
Saw more than a few Ducs out today. First off, a yellow Sport1000 Mono (with 2-into-2 Termis) west-bound on 395 when I was heading out to meet Lars. Then saw a new-gen monster going west on 50, right when I was about to turn off on 50. Finally, Lars and I had an 1198S Corse go past us while we were chatting at the end of the ride.
Great weather for burning gas today. [thumbsup]
Think I spotted Ducatician on his Triumph yesterday evening around 6 on Rhode Island Ave. Jim was that you....?

It wasn't me. I had to take/pick up dry cleaning so I was in the cage. You would have seen me tearing up the asphalt tonight on the way home about 1030p.

Saw Sasan's 696 back in action (parked) in the usual spot by Rosslyn metro.
[thumbsup] Yeah, I finally got my powdercoated parts back on after many setbacks. It's been a minute since I actually rode the damn thing. I tried to start wrapping my forks yesterday and screwed it up horribly.

Some find it pleasing to the eye.
I wanted to get them anodized but I don't have the tools or skills to pull the forks and disassemble. I saw there a lot of people that have wrapped their forks and I thought it looks cool. It's reversible, which is nice, and whenever I have to have my forks actually serviced I could get them anodized.

Tuesday, took my daughter to Ft. Myer and saw:

Ah, I've never actually seen that before, but probably have & thought they were painted/anodized. I suck at covering things with wrap - made a huge mess of my Tankslapper kit a few years ago.
Wed 8:15am-Red new generation monster parked at the corner of 12th and NY NW.
I suck at it too. That's why I'm getting Artful to use his pro skills to help me out.

Hyper this morning at Tenley Circle in DC.
2001 black M750 parked on sidewalk in front of 19th Hole (DC). I was pointing out to my friend where the tail used to be, where the gauge cluster was supposed to be, wondering what all the wires hanging out in front of the vert cyl were, and wondering why the frame & headlight bucket were fuscia. It was somethin.
No pics?

A dark 620 parked in 28th in fairlington.
An 848 and 1098 on Columbia pike
Red S2R1000 at the moto parking in Adams Morgans Saturday around 6. Rider walked off before I got a chance to chat.

Now back to your regularly scheduled picking on Ben.
You'll never guess what I spotted. Nope it's not HAM SANDWICHES, nor a GREEN THONG or a Desmo RR. I spotted a WAIT for IT...

Oww....hopefully she did the right thing and left the owner a note. Biggest fear is having my bike backed in to. Last one was lost due to a Land Rover...
Red S2r this morning heading up Dalecarlia Pkwy.
Saw a yellow Monster (passed me too quick to see what kind) on my way home from work today. Rider was wearing a bright yellow jacket and, at one point, was gesticulating angrily to a driver in the HOV lane. I didn't see what caused that, though.
Lots of Monster spottings today.
Around 11:30 a.m. - Saw a M900 2up in Georgetown on M Street headed towards Key Bridge.
Around 8:00 p.m. - Chatted with a feller on and 07 S2R1000 gloss black with a white stripe. Nice guy - most interesting modd was the a new style Monster headlight mounted and carbon fiber belt cover. Bike was very clean.
Finally on 20th and P - Spotted this:
(http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy51/wbamiduro/Project%20Desdamonda/photo2.jpg)
Looks like an S2R800 with dual stacked headlights, aftermarker rearset, QD Exbox, clip ons below his top triple and some interesting rims.....
That's a mix-match bike. Cycle cat rear sets mounted to an older/DSS frame, with an S?R swingarm. Looks like a GSXR fork swap, and wheels from a Speed Triple.

I was very curious about those rims......Talk about a FrankenMonster
Saw Gene and Massimo (and met his better half) at the Classic Mcy Day. Lots of Ducatis of all stripes there. Strangely mine was the only 900SS of it's era that I saw. Gene's Paso looks like it was built only last week, as you'd expect! Lot's of 70's air-cooled Ducatis in the show. Also saw one of these:

newer red monster on 9th street headed towards the waterfront/Maine Street. Guy was wearing shorts...I was on the Aprilia Dorso.
i am working out at joint base andrews for the airshow this weekend and on the way out i passes three bikes, the one in the middle was a monster, didnt get a good look but it had a red frame and i thinkl a gray tank
It was a gray and red S4R and a Red Multi at the airshow today in DoD parking.

Thats my bike. I think I was maybe at Pizzeria Paradiso when you saw the bike. Its a 695 that had been modifed to fit a SSS when I got it. Those are cyclecat rearsets and a QD exbox. Carrozzeria V Track rims, GSXR forks, forget the clip ons that i put on it. Still have some parts that I had been meaning to put on the bike at the end of last season, but graduate school and other things took front seat.
Just moved up to DC in January and shipped the bike up here out of storage recently and hence why it is about the dirtiest its ever been.
Would love to meet you guys at some point. Although I recently ruptured my achilles and you prob wont be seeing the bike around for the next 8 weeks or so.

Nice bike man.....Sorry to hear that you're going to be out of commission for a while.
Red Monster on Metropolitan Avenue in Kensington about 5 this afternoon. Rider was wearing a pink helmet and jacket so I'm assuming it was a female................or Zooom.

Did you get my PM the other day?
Saw Squidboy (lol) leaving work with his moto today.
Yup yup had to make a gas run. Didn't feel like wearing the jacket. Even that quick run caused a shirt sweat.
Saw your ride parked by the wall.
There's another next gen Monster parked down where the other motos do. You know who owns that one? Not sure if it's a 6/7 or 11.
Just giving you a hard time. It is hot as crap. It's getting a little annoying wearing the leather. I think I'm going to have to pick up a textile jacket soon for around town.
I've never seen the other Monster around there. I usually don't park my bike in the actual bike parking area, lol. I'm lazy. What's funny is I have a parking pass to the metro garage right there and I don't even use that. I probably should start though.

No worries about the harassing.
I used to park down the street on the sidewalk but got a ticket for $50 bucks. WTF?? So on to option B. Back under the stairs or the actual parking lot for bikes.
Maybe need to get a leather....

Passed I think a girl on a Monster on GW Prkwy heading towards Old town on Saturday (think, maybe Fri). Sorry, no amount of tucking will help you vs. my 1098. It was either a girl or Zoom's growing his hair out, same riding style.

Was in Old Town Alexandria Friday night. Out of 30 or so bikes, only one Ducati. Gray S4 with cf pipes and a stock clutch cover. Tons of cruisers/dressers with neon. [puke]
Saw a tri-color 1100 in Eastern Market this afternoon. Nice bike, open clutch and everything. Didn't get a chance to chat as he was talkin to a lady friend.

If only! She was properly geared-up with a good jacket. I always like to see people wearing gear; however driving (Jeep) down 495 on my way back from sailing yesterday, several geared-up riceburner idiots were doing the 100mph traffic zoom. Dummies, I expected to see a pile of meat fly up in the air ahead of me.
Monster 695 (I think: red frame, everything else black) heading west (I was going east) on 395-Southwest Fwy this morning around 7:30 - 7:45.
5:30-ish pm last night on River Rd...Yellow Sport 1000 with single Termi can headed East/South approaching Piney Meeting House...rider in black leather with white helmet...
Had to go to work today...but it got better...
I was greeted by noodling ducs, a Senna M750 and a 1098:

turning dow my road after a long night at the fire station spotted a black monter getting gas at the shell station at the intersection of gunston rd and rout 1
Red 848 headed northwest at 4th and Mass NW. Black Dainese backarmor/jacket with red/black helmet.
Saw a Gray monster w/ red frame in Manassas on 234E just before Sudley Manor Dr at 1720-ish.
Just saw a yellow 748/996/998 going west on seminary, just past 395. Rider turned north towards Shirlington.
Met an awesome couple while riding down K street this afternoon. She was on an 1100 and her husband was on a BMW S1000RR.
Also spotted A sort 1000 black with a white stripe on Lynn Street yesterday.
Yesterday close to 6:30pm I briefly talked to a Monster owner wearing an updated 80s shirt while locking up my bike near 17th St NW after leading DC Pride parade in the squidliest fashion.
Down the block was someone else's possibly carbed Dark.

Perzactly! Helmet stayed off during the parade. I felt quite naked hopping around town and then back across the river in a tank top, tie, jeans, torn-up tennis shoes, gloves, and helmet. Next year I'll leave time to stash the full gear at Hy's office on RI, since we no longer live right by there.

Red Monster 900? pulling into Forest Diner on RT40 in Ellicott City around 3:45pm today
Saw a matte black S2R while eating at Shake Shack on Conn. Ave by the Mayflower hotel around 7:15ish. Then spotted a *96 on M street around 9:00 ish headed towards Foggy Bottom. Believe it was red and white striped. Didn't get a good look at the rider. Might have been a woman.

I'd really like to see that in person one time. I'm not sold on the look just from photos, but I like the idea. No expansion issues, better ergos, more capacity, etc. My biggest questions are the quality of the finish and ability to hold paint.
According to their website it is an unpaintable surface. I've noticed that the finish is prone to rub marks and light scratches, nothing that polish and some elbow grease can't fix. Also, with a full tank of gas and hard braking, gas will leak out of the gas cap. For me, it was simply the more economical choice than fixing the old tank. I can say that techspec or stomp grip is neccassary for the ride.
Yeah, PEX is supposed to be pretty much unpaintable from what I understand. I have some vinyl that SHOULD be able to stick to it but who knows.
Its a track tank, so finish really shouldn't be much of an issue for the common buyer. Full lifetime warrently including poor installation though
Red Monster on Kentlands Blvd on Wednesday night....didn't get a chance to see much other than dark helmet with white stripe, dark jacket.
Spotted a yellow 998 parked in the moto parking section in Arlington by the WUSA TV9 office
Dark rather stock 620 that I've seen a bunch (seems to live there) and a white 696 parked on 29th in fairlington
Sunday around 5pm spotted a red framed/tanked Monster doing the RT. 50 East to Annapolis run with a pack of other bikes.
Today around 2PM a Hyper (red & white, nice!) a ricer, a Tuono and 996 (or similar) together on Barnesville Rd (they where heading NW, I was in the opposite direction).
on Saturday parked on the corner of 8th and G street SE a blue and white stripped S2R1000 with a red clutch. Very nice lookin Monster.

Haha I only wore shorts that day because it was like 400 degrees and really humid. Plus my ride is only about 5 minutes to class. I'm willing to risk some bad abrasions to not arrive to class drenched in sweat....haha.
But yeah, I'm definitely down to grab some lunch or something. I have class every day from 11 to 12:30 in the Math building. I see Jdan in the mornings as he leaves class right when I'm getting there.

Also spotted a guy riding a Red 696 (or maybe 796 or 1100) on Wisconsin heading up to Bethesda.
Jim brought the ménage à trois over to the new place after playing with the Bowie Ballers. Have to say that the GP system sounds STOOOPID GOOD!!!
Red GT 1000, rider wearing a white helmet, at Rt. 50 and Walney Rd. this morning at 10:15
Orange GT and black jacket coming off Georgetown pike to 495 towards the land of marys.

Red ST3 parked just down the street from me. And right across the street from that is an Aprilia 250 2 stroke racer. [thumbsup]
Red 848/1098/1198 rider with what looked like a ducati 2-piece on heading towards the city through old town Alexandria on Saturday afternoon. Sorry for the half-assed wave, but was busy watching the CB350F in my rearview mirror that was slowly catching fire at the light! ;)
Saw a late model Monster parked in front of Looking Glass.
today at 3:54 ish. red 1198 rt 50 east just past sheetz and before rt 624 in Clarke County. rider had on all black. bike sporting temp tags and a quiet clutch.
Some people just shouldn't ride motorcycles...
While making my way to work this morning, I see someone on a red new-gen wee-monster. Person barely makes it through the gentle right hand turn into the facility and then proceeds to almost bounce from curb to curb across the lane about four times. Gets up to the guard post and almost drops the bike because they forgot to put a foot down before coming to a stop.

July 4 -- saw a black/white S2R (not dark, the black with white stripe), tootling on the side road off 50 near the Kena Temple. Rider had a black mesh jacket and helmet on. Bike looked mostly stock. Honked at you, but too far away.

Was me. That's a fun parking lot to "try things out" in, BTW. Was checking out what this new (to me) S2R can do. Turns out it can go and stop really well. Didn't know I almost had an audience, though. [evil]
Saw a red Monster in Rock Creek park yesterday. It was parked and the couple was having a little picnic at one of the benches.
Saw a red Monster on Edsall Rd, heading west from Van Dorn, this afternoon around four o'clock. I was on the KTM and headed towards Comcast.
Saw a black classic style Monster waiting to turn left off Constitution this afternoon around 2:30.
Didn't get a good enough look to even tell anything like whether it was SSS or DSS.
If it's anybody on here I'd think they'd probably remember waving back to a guy on a red Hyper.
Anyone?
How long are you in town for?
I'm back in Chapel Hill.
I saw the Monster on my way out of town this afternoon.

Gave a big wave to I think a Capirex heading towards Old Town on GW, me going opposite way on 1098. Later, spied myself going down Spout Run the wrong way, after swerving to avoid t-boning a sh!thead crossing the run to the grocery store complex. And that's prob enough riding for me today [thumbsdown]
Not really Monsters, but a red ST followed by a black Diavel Saturday morning on the outer loop before the spur. I'd take an ST4s anyday, but that Diavel is not my cup of tea, or coffee, Pina Colada or whatever.
Saw lots of Ducs out today. First off was a black new-gen Monster with two folks on it heading into Georgetown. You two need some gear.
Second up, on Canal Rd, saw two Sport1000s (one red and one black) heading in to town while I was on my west.
Then spotted an ST and an old gen Monster while Jim and I were heading back from Harper's Ferry.

Be careful of that area on Friday/Saturday nights. Tons of cabbies cruising the area up and down looking for fares, and they don't bother to look before making lane changes or turns.

Just got back to work. had to leave the bike on the side of the road. not sure what happened. Oil levels looked suspiciously low. level in sight glass was below half way with the bike completely upright. couldnt see any oil on the sight glass on the transmission side of the bike at all. Looked and rode fine this morning. Have been noticing that the bike was not shifting as smoothly as always. Getting it towed to coleman (closest to DC) since I just moved and have absolutely no tools or the time to work on the bike and they did the last service. considering they changed the oil less than 2-3 weeks ago, I'm thinking they F'd something up.

Did you look at it while it was running or stopped. Correct method is to stop and let it sit for about an hour, then check it. I used to use a small spirit level on the gas tank filler to make sure I had it straight, because you think it is and it's 5 deg off an it looks overfull or empty.
Transmission side...??
Do you mean the timing inspection glass? I hope you don't see oil there.

Stopped the bike and let it sit for about 15 min and then looked at it. Im pretty sure I got it straight up. Had someone else look at it while I stood the bike up. And yes, I realize now after reading a little what the other sight glass is for.
But my question is what could have made the bike seize like that? It cranked and i gave it some gas and it move a little and then coughed sputtered and lost all power (not electrical but mechanical).
Ran fine this morning on the way into work. Noticed some scratchiness while shifting gears over the last couple days. Also have been hearing some clicking that I couldnt resolve to the the front end, rear, chain or sprocket.
Since Coleman did the service recently, I sent it over to them. Lets see what they say

Nope, I used to have a monster w. white wheels & frame. PITA to keep clean.
White ftw! I couldn't imagine having white wheels but I love my white tank. It's not that bad as far as keeping clean. Speaking of my bike is filthy. Now that I'm done with my wedding I need to give my bike some TLC finally.

Considering that you can see gunk on my currently black wheels.. maybe i need to reconsider the "going white" thoughts

Three guys at the coffee shop today (was in VA again at northside social) -- S2R, and 2x 796's. All wearing shorts and t shirts.
Black monster parked in front of my house (4th & Mass NW) this afternoon. Trying to avoid traffic and pedestrians, so I didn't get a good eye on it.
red 696 at 7:30 last night on Kentlands BLVD in Gaithersburg...rider wearing matte black helmet....I was in my Blue Passat going into the 1st circle and you were behind the cage that was filing into the circle behind me....
Saw a nice S2R in the Harris Teeter parking garage by H street NE. Saw the rider come out and leave with converse and no jacket on :o
(http://i.imgur.com/9jdiL.jpg)
^^^Thats DEEPAK.....he rode down here a few weeks ago with a soft cast from his torn achilles tendon on his right foot. Let him go around the block on the S4R. I want that rear wheel.
I was hoping it was someone on here. Figures it is Deepak. I remember him saying he lives close to me. The rear wheel was pretty sweet.

that S4R is a pretty sweet ride --- the torque got me thinking of upgrading soon. Maybe this winter. Just so you guys know -- im keeping this one as my city commuter, rear wheel and all. [cheeky]
I can tell you why, because it's hot as balls outside! I need to at least get a mesh for low-speed city cruising myself. The leather gets hot.
I was loading groceries up with my wife in the car. You came out pretty quick and took off. Hopefully we'll meet at the next event. I'm happy more city ducs are popping up lately. I gotta meet some of my neighbors.
Is there a Thursday meet this week anyone?

While out on the Aprilia today...
-9am-ish Red w/white stripe Monster S*R in a driveway near Dumfries Rd and Greenwich Rd with a few other bikes getting ready to go for a ride it seemed.
-Red S4RS at the Burger King off 234 and 28 for the local Sat cruise in. Tried to catch you...I had the Gray Ford Lightning out there.
-Tricolore newer Monster going into the Luray Caverns parking lot after me.
Monster triplets at work today: Gene's sexy M900, a white 696, and my rat. Talked with a guy who rides a Tiger 1050, he mounted a pair of hard cases and likes to go sport touring. Must be a bit of a nutter tho: he said he really likes my rat! ;) [laugh]
Black on red at Northside Social last evening around 6:00'ish.
2V Multistrada on Mass this morning, near the observatory. I like that bike!
Monday around lunchtime: Senna gray on red monster heading towards Georgetown on Pennsylvania Ave. Pilot was dressed for a board meeting.
Silver new gen monster heading north on 270 around 2:45 this afternoon. I think it was a black helmet and black jacket. Nice looking bike! [thumbsup]
I didn't get a good look cuz he was going the opposite direction but I think I saw a red Super Sport headed north on 7100 about an hour ago.
Saw a red new body Monster, I think an 1100, with sweet high mount Termi's in Winchester, VA (I guess that's close enough to CAM, right?) around 4:30pm. You were riding down the street and I saw you check out my senna Monster parked next to my dad's old black BMW r60.

Ok whose monster 1100 red is it at Nova annandale campus? its red bone stock.. Almost thought it was mine until i got closer and saw it was all stocked.
Saw a older red monster with white strips at clarendon @ 2000hrs , with white lid. dude was on shorts and tees.. It was bit chilly today to be just on shorts [bang]
See a red 1100S regularly parked at a coffee shop on Clarendon Blvd weekday mornings on my way to work.
Cool bike, but you're living up to the Ducati stereotype! j/k
I think that's Darren's bike.
spotted and S4R(s) parked in Georgetown, just passed the Marv. Market. Duc was that nice silver/grey with red. Think I was staring so hard I got a woody [beer] Then saw another Duc rider on a dark Monster of some sort around 1:00 p.m. a couple of blocks from the intersection of North Capital Street and Military Rd.
Saw a couple of older-gen monsters today while out riding; 1 here in Woodbridge when I was just getting out, and the other following a hardley leaving North Beach.
Also saw a really nice looking RC8(R) DC bound on the 50 while I was headed east.

Saw a dark blue/white Monster parked on the side of Harford Rd. a mile or two south of the Beltway on my way to the Grand Prix, maybe 1 pm or so.
Spotted a red Monster on top of Pike's Peak on Monday. [clap]
Followed this up Balt. Ave and into PG2, but you were gone by the time I made it down from upper levels.

Nice! I was gonna wait for you to return to your bike... then I was gonna go inside the store... but decided not to stalk (and I was burning daylight).
I will change my description from "mostly stock" to "tastefully modded". I'm not a wheel guy so I missed that detail.

Saw a yellow sport Classic make a right onto Cedar Lane off Beach Dr towards 355. Nice Bike!
Red tank monster headed NE on Rhode Island Ave NW. Didn't get a great look, but had some kinda cool graphic on the tank that I've not seen before.

I'm always open to meeting other riders so that wouldn't have been a problem. I've had similar thoughts when noticing other Ducatis in Arlington/Alexandria. There seems to be several regular Monsters within a 2-mile radius of me.
Before TOB got to suck - if you were a paid member you got a small stack of business type cards with the boards info. I kept some with my bike and would, on occasion, stick them in the tank buckle if I saw a monster I didn't know.
I think they also had a PDF that you could due your own, with the kits you can get at any office supply place. Might have to see about doing up a new one.

Tonight, I saw a white current gen Monster (rider in red jacket with helmet face flipped up) on Baltimore Ave headed north.
I know, I know. It just sucked to get busted on such a lame mistake... how'd I due do that?
I'm gonna have to start running my posting through a grammar check to ensure my rep doesn't come back to bite me.
Charlie was that you headed south on Rhode Island and turned on Wallace?
Was that a white Monster with low exhausts going down Maryland Av to Jones Bridge Road tonight?
Seen from my window: black older monster pulling into my parking garage. nice sounding bike!
Old town on Sunday.
Around 10 am, a black framed monster with some aftermarket low mounts parked outside of Mishas Coffee
Just after noon, metallic green tank and cowled monster parked on king, down by union.

Red current generation monster inbound in NY Ave's crappy construction traffic about 8:40 this morning.
Saw a yellow 1098, followed by a 848Dark, headed west on NY Ave while on my way back from scrubbing in the new tires.

Saw a couple of Ducs out today while tooling around West/ern Virginia with Lars today. First off was a Hyper SP at the Shell station just east of Sperryville, followed by a while MTS cruising with a few baggers on their way down 211. Ran into a guy on an RC8R out near Franklin WV while I was looking for a lost Lars as well.
Spotted Jim rolling down RI Ave. this evening on the Triumph....

tricolore on wilson blvd in arlington, VA.
Met a guy named Jim, who was dropping off SSS monster with a shortie pipe at Coleman powersports. I finally got a new fuel pump assembly (for free) from Ducati. Next up, tank!
several other duc's running around dc on saturday (10/22).
Today. Came out to the bike on its side :'(. First time shes been knocked over. Wishing I had put the frame sliders (that I have in a box) on before. Scuffer up the tank and broke the plastic housing for the switches on the clutch side. IT was an interesting ride back home with the choke slightly in the open position.
That is all
Spotted a jacked-up white/red 696 outside of Fireworks in Clarendon - bar-end mirrors, freaky grips, termi pipe, sliders, great bellypan. Fine-looking machine.

Ah, I had one of the worst filet mignons there ever, so I won't go back. Despite living 2 blocks away. Is that a normal Termi pipe for that model? Very cool-looking, also one of the few great looking bellypans I've seen.
It's actually an SC Projects GP evo exhaust. Thanks for the compliments. The bellypan is from a company called Xcentrik Performance in Italy.

I think I spotted a foggy this morning headed down Rhode Island Ave. towards College Park. Either that or Jim got a new tank for his S2R.....

Sunday around 1 - a guy on a red new SBK with a new style Corse jacket sitting in the parking lot on Arlington Mill Drive in shirlington. A moment later, another red new SBK going east on Arlington Mill Drive.

Saw that good a$$ [drool] S4Rs wit termi exhausts and a 796 or 696 on Vermont Ave.
Hey CAMers, I'm in town and was glad to see a monster today. I didn't get a good look at it as I was driving past...it was parked on 13th street in Columbia Heights, a classic monster, silver (maybe a silver frame too?), with a lot of mud splattered on it. Looks like some joker spun their wheels while in the muddy spot next to the Duc :(
If it's someone here, your bike looks nice despite the mud!
Sent you a pm.

Red 848 Evo in Ballston today. Road down Washington Blvd alongside. First time I've actually run across another Duc owner roadside. Beautiful bike, makes me lust for an SBK one of these days...
Black Multistrada(?) last Sunday afternoon in Clifton VA. Great place to ride, but watch out for [leo].
I was wandering around down there on Sunday. Saw (well, heard first) a beautiful black and white F4-312RR go by. Almost had a moment there...

If you haven't ridden there, rent a bike and do it. I was there last May and had a blast. Filtering through evening rush hour traffic trying to keep up with my tour guide who was late for a singing/guitar gig was intense. I am so jealous of how they are allowed to ride and how much more aware of motorcycles the drivers are over there.
Yellow monster parked at the Dulles Wegmans yesterday (Thursday) evening, around 7 pm or so. Saw someone wearing gear inside earlier that may have been the rider.
Senna today on campus...was that you Charlie or is there another one floating around on campus?

So not exactly a monster, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity to give DRKWNG a lesson in how to properly dress for motorcycle riding. Obviously, there have been some serious advancements in riding gear that allow you to remain safe while dressing highly fashionably.

Ran into him again.... He did steal the tank from a 900 [beer]. Thanks for the correction. Still working on my Monster knowledge ;D If people only kept them stock [clap]
Stock? What's that? At this point on my 900 it's easier to point out the stock stuff than explain what isn't
But yeah - if you see a bling tank it came from a 900 or after purchase. Chromo, metallic (looks like pinkish glitter) City (metallic blue) etc were only 900s from the factory

5:20-ISH pm on Thursday evening....commuting home in my ScoobyTruck I saw a black with red framed m796/m1100 with Termi's and the rider with black helmet and beyond that I couldn't distinguish as I had the sun in my face travelling the opposite way going by....he/she was sitting waiting in the left lane on River Rd in Potomac Village waiting at the light at Falls Rd headed in a South/Easterly direction...
yesterday in the Kentlands area near the Chipotle parked by its lonesome in the vast parking lot was an S2R of the black with reddish/orange stripe variety with dual headlights...
Guy on a new-gen Monster on Connecticut Ave near Cleveland Heights Metro. I was on Bianca heading up Conn.
Saw a red 848 while leaving the white house egg roll.......rider had a greyish/blackish jacket and a gopro mounted on his helmet.
Also saw a red 848 crossing 355 by Parkside apartments near the Grosvenor metro.
White monster with red frame on Gunston road riding with a few cruisers.
ok....who is in my parking lot at FINRA.....red s2r....c'mon, fess up! [thumbsup]
Merged in front of a red 696 with Termis yesterday on my 620 dark on Rt 7 past 28 towards lizburg. Waved hi ;D
When: Last night around 7:15 PM
Where: 395 southbound, crossing the bridge from DC to VA, from just before the HOV split to just past the Pentagon
What: White on red current gen Monster with aftermarket exhaust. Rider wearing a black Alpinestars jacket and a black helmet with some sort of skull & crossbones sticker on the back.
Generally if I hear another Duc it's over the exhaust and clatter of my bike, so it's nice to hear one a bit more clearly. You were riding fairly "maturely" though, so I only got to hear one or two small cracks of the throttle. ;)
That was me. I try not to speed on that stretch. It can be pretty dangerous because there are constant backups and people decide to shoot over multiple lanes to get to the HOV at the last moment.

You'll get no arguments from me on how messy that area can be, although it certainly is better after 7 PM. My office location just moved from Old Town to near the Nats ballpark. I live west of Old Town in the City of Alelxandria and my commute traded a few miles on Duke Street for 7+ miles on 395. Almost everything about the move has been good, but the commute sucks. I've walked to work half of my career and rarely had to use a freeway. [bang]
Nice bike. [thumbsup]
I actually just moved next to the Nats park like 6 months ago. My commute is so short that it's kind of a joke for me to ride to work (2 miles), but I still do it sometimes for the hell of it.

Yellow DSS monster and 900SS leaving my building. I should really take a tour through the lower floors of my parking garage...it seems to be a real bike fest down there!

I rarely commuted by bike when I worked in Old Town. By the time I geared up, uncovered and unlocked the bike and rolled down the driveway, I would have already been to work in the car. It's also not like I was missing an exciting ride on Duke Street and through Old Town either. Now that I have a longer commute (my office is in 100M) and my motorcycle will give me access to HOV, it looks like it's time to reconsider. [Dolph]

I do recall talking with your son and seeing you with the other two in tow. I won't be there this Saturday, I have an appointment to get Termi's installed; finally. I'm sure I'll be back there again soon.
That same Dark 696 parked in the lot at our Fairlington Rental - seems to live there.
Another Dark 696 in Shirlington over the weekend
Red monster on FFX County Pkwy in Burke around 5pm Saturday.
Tonight around 10pm.
Red SBK flying up 495 by the 270 split. Passing on the shoulder coming up hot and close on slower cars. Passenger didn't look like she was having a good time. Nice riding. As if.

Perhaps the passenger was having a medical episode and the rider was trying to get her to the hospital? [roll]
If she was having a medical episode, he would have stayed on 495 towards Suburban. Medical episode or not, he was riding like an A-hole.
She had no gear other than a helmet. Her flimsy blouse kept flying up. She kept letting go of him to pull her shirt down.
It was ugliness waiting to happen.
I was totally kidding. I do not doubt that your assessment of the rider being an asshole was accurate.
New gen RED/BLK Monster out front of Chipotle in Hyattsville around 7:45 this evening.
White 796 parked outside cap city in shirlington. Then saw rider depart and pull a crappy walking u turn at the end of the block with a lot of throttle. Less gas, more control and some rear brake dude. You'll burn up the clutch if you keep up like you were
Two SCs yesterday. One Black and Tan GT1000 heading south on Rt1, near Belvoir, around lunch time and a PS with side fairings trying to cruise King Street last night.
Red first gen with gold frame in front of Los Tios around 750 pm tonight. I was on my matt Grey/Black 848 Corse headed home. Nice bike from the quick glance I had! I love the gold trellis frames.
Couple of Ducs at C&C this morning. Panigale S and standard, 848, 1098 and a new gen Monster. Then saw Will Wilis' PS (yeah, he's still got it) and a guy with a 1098 (Ibiza plates) in Old Town for some coffee and sight seeing.

Red 796 this morning, around 8:30'ish, turning left onto L Street from Pennsylvania Ave.
Anyone here work at Blue Sky Films in Silver Spring? I keep seeing a black 620ie parked there. Looks good.
Red SS (?) tearing it up around Clifton yesterday.
I keep seeing a black, older generation monster riding into the South Run Rec Center in the mornings around 7:30. Makes me miss my m600.
Saw a red Hyper and a red Multistrada (I think) heading south on 270 near Frederick yesterday around 2:00. We waved at each other and it was brotherhood of the open road and what not.
I see a black tanked red framed high exhaust Monster in the mornings by Cherokee and Edsal Rd in the Springfield bowl. [thumbsup]
2012 or 2013 black 1100 Evo in the motorcycle parking next to Rock Bottom off of Glebe Road in Arlington with temp tags. I tried to park next to it with my red one but they were packed in tight today!

Around 4:10 PM a red Panigale on 28 passing by the post office/gas station in Dickerson, MD. I was sitting by my parked red Multi in the gas staion parking lot.
Here's an interesting one: red w/white stripe Monster being towed (yes towed, with front wheel strapped to bumper and rear wheel rolling on the road) behind a Toyota SUV. It was around 10:15 PM Saturday evening on the outer loop of the beltway, just before the GW Pkwy exit. I didn't catch the plates on the SUV, but it was an odd sight.

Ha! Can the cops ticket for only having rear-wheel on the ground?
That reminded me of a story I heard a few years ago. Someone attended one of the WERA Endurance rounds (I think it was WERA Endurance) hauling their bike the same way. At some point in the wee hours on the way home something with the bike's "mounting" allowed the bike to fall over on it's side. A while later when another car alerted the driver they found they had ground off a lot of the bike and had a nice cross section of motor and frame behind them. I can imagine the sparks that thing must've thrown.

Ahhh, a little JB Weld and I imagine that engine was as good as new. ;D
I've been broke and pinched a few pennies, but I can't imagine I would have ever thought towing/dragging a bike was a good idea. I think I would try to strap it to the roof before I'd try top mount the front wheel to the rear bumper.
I saw a BMW G650 on 395, crawling across the 14th Street bridge in the slush yesterday morning. Was that anyone here?
Was that Gene's Victory Hauler on the Virginia outer loop Thursday morning?
Going across the Wilson Bridge this morning: Grom topped out at 60 mph with rider in full tuck. [clap]

Where abouts did you move to, Del Ray? I'm in an apartment in Del Ray for another week and a half til I close on my house. Staying in Del Ray though. I'm always looking for someone local to ride with when I'm actually in town
Monday 10/20, 3:30ish pm, saw the same red 20th Ann Monster with no mods sitting in front of Swing's coffee down the street from my house in Del Ray. Rider had a Matt black helmet and no other gear. If it's a Cam'er, I'll loan ya some damn gear!
PS, what happened to the CAM board?? Seems like there's tumbleweeds rolling through here as of late
I'm pretty sure I've seen that same guy in/around Del Ray more than once, so he must live or work there. I am pretty much an ATGATT guy, so gearless riders always give me pause as well. I find it hard to talk to them without "going there". I usually don't have the energy to have that conversation, so I just avoid them.
A red Multistrada 1200 on M Street SE near USDOT/Navy Yard around lunch time today. Nice bike!
Two Monsters in the Pentagon bike lot, a red 695 and a white 1200.
First Scrambler in the wild I've spotted. S. Glebe rd heading towards Rt. 1 this morning ~7:30
Like everything else, spottings have really slowed to a trickle, but here's one anyways:
S4RS Tricolore heading north/west on Dickerson past the Dickerson post office/gas station.

Ended up there myself and chatted with the guy for a bit. New to Ducati but loves riding his 796. Likely just missed you Obsidian.
Yeah, I was headed home following a nice 150 mi ride through Maryland with my buddy and his new bmw 1000rr...amazing machine but I just can't get down with the looks!
There were a ton of bikes out on Sunday, but I only saw two Ducs: a pretty 851 on River Road and a "titanium" colored Multistrada 1200 parked in Poolesville.
Saw Gene and Walt in Clifton @ Breakfast & Bikes
Black tank/red frame 695 on River Road around 1PM Sunday.
White 696/796/1100 on GW PKWY around 1:30 PM Sunday.
Just in case anyone still checks in here:
Saturday @ ~12:10 PM, Fingerboard Road/MD 80, black final generation air-cooled Monster (696/796/1100).
Saturday @ ~1:15 PM, River Road eastbound, black Multistrada 1000 or 1100.
I think I am the only one visiting or posting on this thread, but here goes anyways:
Sunday 11/15, approximately 3:15 PM: Black last gen air-cooled (696/796/1100) Monster east bound on River Road, stopped at the light at Falls Road. I was westbound on a red Multistrada 1200.
It was a nice day for a [Dolph]
I do!
But... since I'm out on the roads almost never these days... I don't see much. My worst case scenario commute is two blocks presently.
Well, real worst case is Atlanta. But that almost never happens
I actually have the longest commute of my life (by double_ and I'm still only ~9 miles. When my commute was 4+ miles I never used the bike. It took me longer to gear up and uncover/unchain the bike then it did to drive to the office. No showers prevented bicycle riding.
All that aside, you know, you don't have to commute to ride. You could just ride on the weekends...you know....for "fun". [thumbsup]
Also don't have a immediately streetable bike...
~ noon in Clarendon - matte 821 or 1200
I keep seeing myself in store windows and/or reflection on car doors, must be because I moved out of Reston to Chantilly. I have seen one or two ducs at Bikes and Breakfast and of course when I go out to DucPond. Since I got the Fiat I don't commute that often on one of the bikes. I do meet up with some other duc owners once in awhile but traffic has gotten so bad we don't do that very often either.
Two spottings on Sunday:
~2:35 PM Black (or "Dark") tank/black frame Monster in Poolesville, southbound on Elgin (MD 109) turning left onto White's Ferry Rd (MD 107) at the gas station.
~3:30 PM southbound on I-395 before Glebe Road, black/dark 848/1098/1198
It was a nice day for a ride, mid-50s but with the sun felt warmer. [thumbsup]
~9 AM, red/white stripe S2R gen Monster, Navy Yard area, turning south onto 1st SE from M SE. The rider was wearing the Navy working uniform or similar. I was on my red Multistrada coming from the west and turning north. Nice bike [thumbsup].
I don't think anyone looks here, but here goes....
Saturday 11/19 afternoon, a white 696/796/1100 generation Monster riding with an orange/yellow SC 1000, inbound on the GW Pkwy. I was on the red Multistrada.
Yeah, not having a road commute, nor even a street bike I'm not spotting much these days

That was actually me on my 1200s and my buddy on his sc1000. It was nice earlier but it got so windy by then. That's why I decided to book it home.

I thought I saw tank intakes which is why I thought it was an 1100. I suppose it was hard to see details at - ahem - speed. The weather and wind were crazy. There was a 20 degree temp drop from when I left home to when I returned and a couple gusts spooked me pretty badly.
Funny enough, your friend and I appear to live in the same area. We both exited 395 at Seminary Road. I went east and he went west.
May have been my tech spec pads maybe? But yeah, the leaves were blowing all over the freaking place so it was hard to see. Yeah, my friend does live off Seminary. I'm waiting for the next nice day before I go riding again as I've gotten less inclined to endure the harsh weather as I'm getting older lol. We usually go riding with a pack of ducs. Let me know if you ever want to go riding. [beer]
Most of my riding is done with a couple of friends on oil-head BMWs, so riding with other Ducs would certainly improve the company I keep. [thumbsup]
Good to see so many friends at Bikes and Breakfast.
Saw Gene's M900 again. Damn that tank.......
I saw a Monster for the first time in a while. It was around noon on Sunday, on Dickerson Road in front of the Dickerson Post Office/gas station. A red 999 was in the lead, followed by a Monster. The 999 kept my eye, so I didn't get a good look at the Monster other than to note it had a black tank.

It was likely me and my buddy. He owns the 999 with tons of Feracci parts. Beautiful bike he has.
It has been over seven months since anyone posted on this board, but dammit, I saw a Monster yesterday evening so I'm posting. It was on Washington Boulevard, heading into Clarendon. It was a 696/796/1100 generation Monster, white tank, red frame.
The era of the Monster may sadly be drawing to a close.... :'(
One more spotting, this one was on River Road around 2:30 PM Sunday. A red on red 696/796/1100 era Monster. I was on my red Multistrada 1200. About ten minutes later I saw a white Hypermotard on Falls Road crossing River Road.
