Ducati Monster Forum

So, its my big midlife birthday this year.  After December, Ill need viagra and a walker...so I figured I would give myself a new mistress.

After helping our very own George build his, I knew I wanted to add one to the stable...  I had visions of building one from scratch, and then I met a fella online that shared my vision.

Now its time to name her.  "Trouble" or "Mistress", perhaps?  She has been well cared for, ridden well and even in the pages of Motorcyclist magazine Feb 2009, Alpina Wheels Catalog, 2009 Rev-it catalog.  Just as a good mistress should be...

Yeah I know, huh?!  wtf.  LOL.  Actually, he is a great guy, and given the price I got it for, I wouldnt have either.   

Now that's one awesome ride [thumbsup]

Carmen is the Italian goddess of "spell casting and enchantments"...

Just sayin'

 ;)

I better see that pregnant dog out at HPR soon!

I guess that means I need to get one of my bikes track worthy as well.

 [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Nice timing.  Now you get to stare at it all winter.   :( :(

Man, that sure is purty.  It was awfully nice of you to buy that as a club trackbike.  How are we to determine the order in which we'll partake of your generosity on-track?  I vote we rassle for it.  That should make me one of the first few club members to ride her.   ;D

Well chosen, Amigo.  [bacon] [bacon]

Simply awesome!!! [thumbsup]

THUNDER-make the beast with two backsING-DUCK!!!!!

[evil] [evil] [evil] [evil]

Rock!

WOW!!! Just WOW.  When do I get to come stare at it?  I may even have to pull a Krystal and rub my nipples on it.  That think is hot skinner! [clap]

See Goduc had to go there. You know once we all get to see it in person you are going to have plenty of reason to be polishing it up since I can see there will be a lot of "things" rubbed on it.  Hee hee   [evil]

Gorgeous!!!   [thumbsup]

All you need is for one of these fancy inginearses to make you a ski for your front tire & some chains for the rear.

Oh, and for the record, I make the beast with two backsed it twice in a dream last night, it squealed like a pig duc.  8)

Squeal like a pig, King.  Squeal like a pig, Boy.  (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/jackoff.gif)

How did I know it you would be you to turn it me around &  ...  

Felt pretty make the beast with two backsin' good, right?


You guys talk about thread jack.... there's your jack off.


Back on topic:  All you gave was one ball?   AWESOME !  

"Nurse, could you show me to the "cutting" table please?  Immmm'm trying to buy a new motorcycle"

PLEAAAAAAAAAASE tell me you wore a rubber.  [coffee]

He did, but it had frayed at the edge by the time he was done.

WOW!!!

can i say panty pudding   [evil]


sooooooooooooo can i wash it with my boobies?  [coffee]

Thanks for taking notes while filming.

Didn't know you were abbidextrous... Go figure.

Edit:  Check it out! I spelled a word like ducmouse.   ;D

Well, it was a "track-tire" reference, but since you want to play that way...

I can't work a computer mouse with my left hand, so I learned to adapt and "overcome."   ;)

 [clap]

Hey Skinner, Did I hear you got a new bike? 

make the beast with two backsin' thread jackers!  they must be jealous     8)

All i heard was you got a woody and mouse's panties have pudding (matt, get yourself check)  [thumbsup]

Thou doeth sucketh the big one Mr Skinner!

...but in reality you suck! Nice mother %*#$@+! bike!

 [bow_down]  [bow_down]  [bow_down]  [bow_down]  [bow_down]  [bow_down]

i only suck for money and just hold it in my mouth a little. king baby taught me that.
 [coffee]


thanks buddy!  ill send more pics when she gets here

  Very, very, cool..... I wanna see it in action!.   Too damn nice to track.. well almost [laugh]  [moto] 

nah, she was designed for the track and will be tracked.  I will just wrap her in bubble wrap first (is that part of race prep?).  Signed up to take the AMA license course and am taking the new ktm track school at Miller.  Time to learn to race!

Good luck with that.

My sense here is that some your buds are already salivating over the possibility of obtaining the bike with a salvage title if you happen to lay it down.

Not wishing you bad luck (hell, I don't even know you), but I just recently got a sense that some here would eat their young to obtain such a machine.

they eat their young anyways.  keep your fingers away from kingbaby's mouth!

   Here kitty kitty    [evil] 

btw, has the trollop been officially named yet? 'Twere mine, she'd be "My Trophy Wife".

FWIW, I learned quickly to keep everything of mine far away from KB's mouth.

Cheesy symbolic representation of his desires?

Thought you yankees liked cheese.

Easy now... It was DDGM who warned me about your eating habits.

Me... I'll eat anybody... I mean anything... Freudian slip.

End of thread jack. I may start another thread about people's favorite cheeses, but I am fearful of where that will lead.

Maybe:

Yeah, but when was the last time we saw ANY motorcycle on Count's avatar??  Was that approved by "the boss"?

Wow I really need to log in here more often! Thats a sweet looking SC you got John!
Makes me wish I can keep mine...

-Bill

No approval necessary, I run things with an iron fist at my castle. ;D  I changed it a while back to a pick from our Utah run.  I don't get the chance to check in here as often as I would like.

and its great to see ya when we do  :-*

Soooo why get rd of it (if I may ask)?


I agree with Mouse.  Always great to hear from you.  [thumbsup]  :-*

Wasn't that where we stopped just before Bryce?
Sing along: I like big butts red rocks and I can not lie...   [laugh]

I'm road sick  :'(   Please get another bike Count.

Yep, pretty sure it's called "Red Canyon."  I would LOVE to, but don't want to drive a wedge at the homefront.  Unless Jackie is totally on board with it, it could cause problems.  As much as I love riding and you guys, it's not worth it. :-*

and u know we will always be here when the time is right  ;) :-*

Wanted to give you an update on my little lady.  I have been busy as hell on her lately:

• New tires Pilot Power 2CT
• Modified air intake and redyno'ed her...she was starving for O2.  Got another 5.5 hp out of her!!  Runs perfectly now.
• Added some minimalist belt covers for the road
• Added billet reservoir covers to go with the polished engine
• Fabricated brackets for rear tail (holy pain in the ass...cut, grind, weld, sand...) 
• Added LED license plate mount and moved the PCIII, etc
• Used a half moon billet LED rear brake light with Watsen LED signals and Oberon bar ends.  I think it really keeps the old school look
• Found some new HD LED front lights and slid them in the air intakes.  They are bright like the sun!
• I have the seat at pregnant dogin' Stitchin' being redone. 

Not the best quality video, but take a look!!!!


ThunderDucLights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdFa0ITRh8g#normal)

sick...just sick! But really it sounds kinda sick...was the idle fast? hard to tell in the video. maybe put the camera right at the tip of the exhaust and turn the throttle!  [evil]
Really it is the coolest  [thumbsup]

She's a beauty [thumbsup] Nice work.... [clap]

Got the new seat from pregnant dogin Stitchin, the dudes who make the seats for Ecosse.  Polished the pipes, moved the PCIII, etc.

All done in time for the cold snap of 7 degrees.

SICK!!!!!!! [bow_down] [bow_down] [bow_down] [bow_down] [clap] [clap] :o

Yeah baby ;) You do good work [thumbsup]

That is straight-up amazing.  Sends shivers up my spine.

I LOVE it when a beautiful woman says that to me  :P 8) ;D

Yeah, it's probably a good thing you didn't have the seat on it when I was visiting.  After swinging a leg over I may have just left it there.   ;D She's gorgeous!!   [clap]

I need a map & schedule of times you won't be home.  [evil]

WOW!  That is freakin bada$$!  You have way too much money brother!  I am one jealous bastard! 

says the guy with the multiple bikes in Hawaii...  LOLOLOL.

Sadly, no.....only the Duc here.  Had to sell the other two.  Only one parking spot and not enough good roads anyway.  I really do miss the riding there!  And you guys, of course! 

So when are you coming for a visit? hmmmm??

Hopefully this summer!  I keep hoping to be subpoenaed out for a trial, but I guess I was too good at my job...everyone keeps pleading guilty!   :'(

i feel safer and safer  [thumbsup]
