Ducati Monster Forum

It was a great day for a ride today! Traffic on the PCH was a little much, helped a guy who laid his beamer down in the middle of it all. Headed up towards Malibu and started to get bored so I headed back to Topenga Canyon for some twisties! But alas, traffic again. Who does construction on Saturdays?! Even still, any day on a Monster is a good one!

I hate you. LOL

It so friggin' cold here I can't even pull the duck out of the Garage.

Enoy the weather.  [bang]

Four inches of snow on the ground here and more coming.

[bang] [bang] [bang]

umm, you suck?

It's 4 degrees here. [bang]

Although I did see some numbnut out on an old Honda ST yesterday... :o 

Hey duc750 you certainly know how to piss us guy's off  ;) ;)

This olde numbnut is just about to go a clear some of the 8inch's of snow from the front driveway  [bang]

Ride safely and enjoy the weather I'm only jealous  :'(

arai_speed the bike look's the "DOG'S" and road looks wonderful  [moto]

Michael at the price of those homes I think that I'll have  to move aswell, over here in the UK a home like the one's you posted would cost in excess of £500,000 and that's in the  north west.

I'm envious of both you guy's  :'( :'(

JEBUS... I got a 'deal' on a 640 Sf place in Arlington VA 8 years ago for twice those prices... and I kicked ass for it, especially when it came time to sell.. But those prices bum me out a little...

I know if I ever sold my place in Arlington I'd never be able to afford to move back...

And all of you in warm weather... HATE!  It was 14 yesterday when I got up. So over it...

I got out for a bit of a ride on 1/9.  It was in the mid 40's here in Portland, no rain. [clap]

Yuu,

I am in the same boat.  Prices in New Hampshire would be double for the same house in Phoenix.  If I ever moved out I would not be able to move back.

I keep meaning to get up to ACH, who know why I haven't?!

Mean looking bike, by the way! I think I may upgrade very soon. Cant decide between the s2r 800 or the new M1100? I guess there could be worse decisions to make in life!

Thanks for the compliments fellows!  [thumbsup]

duc750 - PM one day so we can go up.

Ride safe.

On my drive in to work this morning it was 4 degrees out , I dont think ill be riding any time soon

Will do. I work most the rest of this week. Maybe sometime this weekend or beginning of next?

I need to move as well ........
Those kinda house gonna cost us 1.5 million(US$400,000) here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

But it's supposed to drop down to the mid-60's later this week. Bundle up!

 ;D

I want in on this...    8)

I'll create something on the local Socal board - so keep an eye out.

Arai_speed, are those chicken strips I see on those fresh new tires? Looks like winter and the fires have kept you humble. Post up a ride soon, I'll try to make it...hell maybe Eric will be in town too.  [thumbsup]

Those are indeed some pretty big chicken strips...super sized actually.

I've been humble for a long time now Icon - it's more then just winter and the fires.  :)

Those days are gone for now....but I still got the pictures  ;D

53, sunny and no wind.  needless to say I escaped prison and went for a leisurely ride today.  first time in two weeks the weather's been good enough around here.   [moto]

75 degrees and sunny in So Cal, near the Mexico Border. Headed to San Felipe, Baja CA Mex about a month ago with a fellow biker.  [moto] It was slightly breezy when we left home. About 50 miles from San Felipe we hit gusts of up to sixty miles per hour. The problem was, there is nothing but sand out there. We continued for about five miles in first gear with absolutely zero visibility. Riding in high winds can be a pregnant dog, but riding in a sand storm is something I will never forget. We turned around and headed back to Mexicali for lunch. Both of our bikes looked like TRASH :'(

I'll look for a more in depth weather report next time I decide to ride to San Felipe.  [laugh]
That's how I came up with the handle, "Desert Dust."  [drink]

But desert dust washes right down with a Guinness.  [drink]

Here's a BITEME from Minnesnowta

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

70F today!  I'm out there on two wheels (until I have to start working on building the fence at my house...).

It's not all beer and skittle here folks.



I get tired of riding the twisties everyday-the sun gets in my eyes, my gear can get sweaty from the heat. Enjoy your winters!

It was chilly here in SoCal today... 48 degrees this morning.

Still was a great day to ride the Crest, though.   ;D

CalTrans closed the road behind us, so nobody else was able to get through. There were maybe only 20 or so bikes up there and we had the road all to ourselves!   [evil] [moto]

How do you get "bored" in Malibu?

The riding is fun the road was boring
For some stupid reason I just stayed on the PCH, maybe it's just because I don't know any of the roads up there to hit the twisties. I don't really carry a map either. I know Topenga Canyon(mountain bike riding) so it's familiar riding. I hoping some kind hearted souls here will show me some local rides, went to ACH for the first time early Sunday a.m. with Bacon Junkie and DucofWestwood and that was awesome.
