Hello,
I am the guy who sits next to you and reads the newspaper over your shoulder. Wait, don't turn the page, I am not finished. Life is so uncertain... Here I am.

Hi,
I am new to the monster board thing so here I go:

Name: Jay
Location: San Francisco
Bikes: Monster 900, 916, R1200S
How long have I been riding? Eighteen years.
Anything else to share? My new year's resolution was to get more involved in the bay area bike scene. I moved from Minneapolis which had an amazing Bike community. Places like Bob's Java Hut, Trackstar Motorsports, Norton Owners Club, and CRA. I look forward to meeting all you folk once I figure out where to be and when to be there.

Check.   mo:t:

STEVE!!!!!  Now go Introduce Yourself (like on BARF) up top, so people can revel is your catitude.  Maybe post the yardsale pic as a "hello" (love that pic). 

Yeah, but he's in Hawaii this week.

Hey Jay --

Welcome.  It looks like there is a ride this weekend, AMA races in a coupla weeks (Tigre will probably be racing), Zeitgeist on the last Thurs on the month and some rides and wrenching in between all that.  Plenty of time to meet the gang.   

Jay, you should post the pics of last weekends Legends of the Concourse on this site by starting a new thread... I'm curious! :)

You'll all no doubt be pleased to know you friendly non-neighbour from down under will be lurking and forcing you all to endure extra Zeitgeist evenings in Aug/Sept...

big (or maybe you won't give a damn  :P  )

I'm here.

I posted in the newbie section, but forgot to post something here yesterday.

I'm wondering how quickly things will settle down and "get back to normal".

And when is the next East Bay Ducati night?  Did I miss the one for May yet?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to meeting you all.
j

Big! Nice of you to stop by. It just wouldn't be the SF MOB without our favorite antipodean lurker.

Wow! That's a big word for this MOB dontcha think?  ;:|  ;:|  ;:|  ;:|

Oh yeah, present and accounted for...

Present!

Before I found the new board I went and registered ducatimob.org in a fit of panic. I'm not sure why - my instincts just said to go get the domain, and protect it from bad people. So .. yeah.

Anyway, good to see everyone here.

yo yo yo.

south bay sid in the house.

duqette (aka KT) here!  dr::

(I love this smilie)

Hollywood, reporting as ordered! 8)

Phil J on the "original" board. Phanjastic since the corporate take over, (for anyone who will still be going there).
I think I'm having an identity crisis!  :-\ ???

Present!

(the cold sweats are starting to subside)  be::

 mo:t:  here! oh ya, sunny day, new playground.

Yesssssss.   

:wine  <-------------- This is the only reason I'm on this board and not the "other one" to which I will now refer as "The Dark Side." 

Jimbo's lerkn

I go away for a little vacation for a couple of days and when I get back the forum is wacko and everyone has left.   Gimme a heart attack.  Reminds me of a girlfriend I had long ago...... but thats another story.

Anyway.  Checkin' in.

here

seriously felt i'd gone through the rabbit hole when i logged on the dml...sad.

FKA: rcdingle, but since that site is FUBAR, I have a new name for the new site.

Good to see a lot of familiar names tho.

Ahhh, I want to sleep. co:: :bang co::

I'm here too!

(burp)

soon to be 696 owner

East Bay
Hi ya!

Hi MOBers,
after lurking on the DML for about a month,
I finally introduced myself and the very next day everybody left... ha ha
Thanks to MM for directing me here.

After a 30 year break,  I am delighted to have found my way back to biking,
and I am totally captivated with my new found love, an S4RS

My first bike was a Hodaka '72,
and this morning I went to Factory Pro to check out their dyno,
and there it was, a Combat Wombat 125,
I kept looking between my first bike and my current bike..
what a trip... sweet

I look forward to meeting and riding with the MOBers,
I am going to ride from Tam Junction to at least Tomales tomorrow @ 11, anybody wanna join me

Coyote

just got a 03 monster 620, man I love it!

hope to catch you guys around sometime.

Welcome Sea

Checking in...

BK

MUCH BETTA!!!

Though i wasn't too active on the previous site, I was pretty shocked with the changes just made.

I'm glad you guys pointed to this one...I feel like I'm back amongst friends and family rather than feeling lost in some mega-store...

Ahhhh....

John

I'm just here for a few weeks to annoy Warren and Steve.

home sweat home wt:

speak for yourself...girls don't sweat! :-X [cheeky] [laugh]

Now I can get my lurking fix, we going to do stickers for this forum?  wt:

Dude--that's quote-worthy right there.   ;:|  That's why I luv ya, Danny.   :-*

....hey if pt and johnc can come down south and make damage, i can come up here :)

hi all! whats doing?

I'm here too. I'm now mbalmer instead of MBalmer. Too lazy to use the shift key. ;D ;D

Making a reappearance.   [thumbsup]

Present...

It feels good to not have random reviews of the 696 stating how its the next best thing to sliced bread blasted in my face.

checking in be::

too lazy to retype  so here is my intro

http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=1249.msg11466#msg11466

miaou

I go out of town for ten days and the DML is overthrown and a new board is born??  make the beast with two backs!!! I went on vacation and missed the revolution!.  I am so confused...

present and accounted for

(what do all of the "wt:  be::" etc... mean?)  new lingo that comes with the DMF handshake?

Hey Adrian! :)

The emoticons (smilies) had a different code originally, and someone asked them to change them to what we are used to.

So for example,  [thumbsup] was originally "wt:" last week, but since this weekend's overhaul, the code is now "[ thumbsup ]" (minus the spaces).

Anything that was posted before Saturday night has the old codes in and it is too difficult for them to fix them globally.

phew!  thanks!

tell me about it, i go on vacation and everything goes to hell. D*L is overtaken, my truck is almost towed, trouble at work, cant login here

I do have a nice tan though :D

ok i'm back

I don't check the DML often these days but when I did last night...OMG :o

I'm glad I found you all again.  Though I can't seem to be able to register as Ducky so I'll use my license plate.

Wendizzle... how's it goin', kid?  We've got a pedal date coming up.   [thumbsup]

When you're back in town, let's hit it ;)

I was wondering where everyone went. It's good to be back :)

thunder!

I was wondering about that stuff too. Anyway I didn't even notice the check in here Sticky until now. So yea. Im Mendo Dave Now instead of Inglenook.
I figured I could be Mendo Dave cause there arent any Monster owners named Dave on the Mendo Coast, So why lock myself into my sleepy little neighborhood...




(Thats a rehtorical)

I did not really want to  mean that   [bang]

Wait, one of the Girls goes to the Gym for some reason and rides her Monster all sweaty and stuff.

She would sweat less if she went to tip back a pint instead.  [drink]

Present! a  little late, but made it :)

Hey guys. Been a long time since I had a monster, but followed you over here anyway.  [thumbsup]

Jack

I finally found my way over here too.

-Dave

(formerly GrendelsTwin)

hey all, nice to find the new home of the MOB
Fitz

Hey there,  thought I'd check in too.  Just as I was starting to chime in more at the last place it went all...................... flashy................... :-X

My A.D.D.  is bad enough without a whole bunch of things trying to steal my attention. 
cheers

Hey!
I was never on the old forum, but I've lurked for sure.
New to whole "forum" thing, so if I screw this up, pardon the noob.  Anyways, bought a 600 Monster in Feb and can't wait to meet and ride with other like minded crazies. I've got a background in dirtbikes but this is my first streetbike and it's awesome, i love the feel of the twin, not to mention it's the perfect bike (imo) for SF. 

Not sure what else to put,  I'm a student though so I've prety much always got time to ride.  Hit me up!

Brian

Welcome Brian, Gimpy, Fitz, Dave, Jack, and everyone else I've missed.  Glad you found your way here. [thumbsup]

Definitely keep checking in for group rides and Zeitgeist nights and other events, hope to meet you all soon. :)

Back in SF after 3 months in Hong Kong.

Welcome back, how was it?  I was there in February.

Weather was so so, I was in Sydney before for a few weeks where it was amazing. But Hong Kong is like a theme park to me, every time I go there something new happens. Last Sunday, just a day before I left, I met Jackie Chan (and almost all cantopop stars) backstage on a fundraiser.  ;D

And you didn't call?

Bastard!   ;D

big

Here! 

Ok, not really *there* but I'm an honorary M.O.B.ster, right?!?  RIGHT?!?

Oh no...did I forget to bribe Tigre again?

Hehe, didn't know. My routine in Sydney: Get up. Go to the beach. Go Home. Sleep. Begin again. Needed a holiday.

I'm very happy to be here!

You'll get more points if ya move yer ass up to the Bay (and bring your tools and shit  ;D )

msincredible sent me here to check in.  Newbie waiting on a new Red 696 to arrive.  Live Martinez, work Marin.  Hoping the guys at Hattar can bend time/space so I can get my bike sooner. 

Virtually no motorcycle experience.  Just wrapped up my MSC in vallejo, added my M endorsement, and will shed the cage shortly.

Looking forward to connecting with the MOB as much as I can.  I will miss the get together at Pizza Antique in Lafayette.  Enjoy!

BTW in college, the MOB was a party model that started generally with 4 - 5 guys at 2:00AM and a titanium bike lock.  The MOB would travel from house to house recruiting new members.  Initiates would receive the lock as a necklace until the new member recruited another another member.  We would secure the lock around the neck of an unsuspecting recruit while they slept.  Once encased with the bike lock, it is very difficult however to stay asleep.  So, the new member is thus encouraged by lack of the key to help the MOB find the next victim new member.  As only on securing another addition to the MOB is the bike lock removed.  It was weird, but somehow, each house visited complained that all their food was eaten, booze gone, and animals generally skittish the next day.  Huh, can't remember don't know what happened there...

Thanks for being here!

johno

Are you saying you want to be initiated with a ULock around the wheel of your new 696?

Oops.  Just realized I just put in my first or second post but forgot to do the check in. 

Here.

OOPs guess I never checked in, but I had to follow the crew.  How do all. [beer]

OK, I'm checking in... although I'm not sure about what I am doing  ???  LOL  I received a message from other member with a link to this forum.  I guess it's because I live in the Bay Area???

Delmar

"Googling", i just found you guys...
 [popcorn]

I'm Here, doing it ass-backwrds.  First I stayed too long on the "other"site, then I bought something on this site, then I donated, then I check in, next, I listen to the fireworks and introduce myself...   [beer]

woohoo I found the real MOB again

So... it's taken me a while to jump on the MOB..... but I've made it!

I'm here and looking forward to participating...more...Wondering if I'm the only person in true northern California. You centrally located people in Sac... silly. Any Duc owners out there North of Redding?

dont mean to stear you away from the cali/bay group,your always welcome, but there are quite a few riders in the oregon area that are probably closer

http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=27.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=27.0)

I've checked out some of their posts. Most are in Seattle or Portland. Way farther than Sac. I will check again and ask around. Maybe I am just a califonria dude through and through.

msincredible herded me over here. 
dangit, I'm so easily manipulated by the fairer sex... even those I've never met.   :D

Hi.
I'm here.
Returning rider.
New red Monster 696.
Live in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Work in the valley.

Looking forward to some group rides.  (slow at first)
Then some novice track days.
 [thumbsup]

Hi everyone, Just found the forum and the MOB and thought I'd introduce myself.

Name: John
Location : San Francisco, CA
Bike(s) : '08 695
How long you've been riding: Coming up on a year now. 
Anything else you'd like to share : I've mostly been riding in the city and would be up for joining any group rides, bike nights, and eventually some track days. Look forward to meeting some of you. 

-JP

Okay ... only took me forever to follow the bread crumbs due to my distractingly busy summer. Just in time to miss all the fun. I'll try and keep up this time ...

I've been lurking around dmf for awhile, then I noticed the local club section. So I thought I would say hi and introduce myself.

Hello, my name's Ryan. I'm in Fremont, but I'll be riding all around the bay area, well, if it isn't raining. I got my first bike a couple months ago. It's a black 696. Hope to see some of you out and about. Take it easy.

Welcome Ryan, thanks for the introduction. [thumbsup]  Congrats on your 696, be careful on the wet roads. :)

So that's how this works.............. :o    DUCRS here from Modesto Ca. area. Maybe the only monster in the Modesto area  [laugh] ( haven't seen one on the road yet). I have a black S4RS. Met up with some of the fellows at La Honda, hope to catch ya'll at one of the upcoming events. GREAT forum!

Hey all!

Well, after we migrated away from the old site, I got very busy with work and travels and have not been logging in...this is my first post in the new digs and I hope to regularly visiting now!

Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Daniel

Glad to see you made it over  [thumbsup]

whats up everyone? I wasnt really sure where to post but I am checking in, not exacftly from the bay but only an hour away.  Livin in Modesto, just picked up my monster today an luv it.  [thumbsup]
http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/album.php?albumid=730 (http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/album.php?albumid=730)

Hi, welcome!  This is a good place to introduce yourself to the local group.   There is also the Introductions (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=14.0) section which is forum-wide.

Anyway, nice-looking bike, congrats. ;D [thumbsup]

Thanks! Yeah I posted in the intro section too but I figured I'd post up in here to since I am not too far away from the bay, bout 75 miles.

You could prob hook up with DucRS for some fun as he is also from Modesto! Welcome!

Hey your not alone in Modesto anymore  [laugh]. I was beginning to think I was the only one [laugh]. I have yet to see another Monster on the road in Modesto.  PM me an maybe we can hook up for some cool local rides as well as maybe hit up some of the area Monster functions an stuff. [thumbsup]

Thanks [thumbsup]

oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!

I was born and raised nearby (Stockton), but escaped after college.  ;D Happy holidays!

Finally back and ready to ride.  Looking forward to some dry pavement 'cause I'm jones'n for a ride.

Hope everyone is well and we haven't lost any riders.  Is the crash ticker still tickin'?

Added a new ride to the stable...an '08 Triumph Tiger 1050.  Only have a couple hundred miles on it but expect it to be a great commuter.  Costs (maint & fuel) should be a bit less too.

Appears I've got some catching up to do.

I just realized that the MOB is like an entirely new entity within DMF... So, I'll introduce myself.

You'll find me puttting around Berkeley either on my newly acquired white M696, or on my beloved gray Honda HawkGT. The Hawk is the bike I've racked up most of my miles since starting, roughly 2 years ago. I joined the group because I'd be up for joining any MOB rides and hoping to meet others who do trackdays or would like to start. That's one of the reasons I bought my Monster- to learn how to ride road courses and hopefully be good at it. The other being that I want reliable(enuff) bike to ride long distance up to Canada with.   

Cheers  [beer]

Adrian

ps, if any of you live not too far away from berkeley and want to hit the curves with another Monster rider, let me know! I'd be up for it. I range from speed limit to "just above".

I live in south berkeley, id be down for goin on a ride some time.

Welcome, lots of track day junkies around here and a few current and washed up racers.  [beer]
