Ducati Monster Forum

Well...hell.... somebody had to get it started...can't wait to see you there [moto]
Any opinions or ideas on how to make this an even better event?

naked pudding wrestling.  bonfy vs mouse comes to mind

Yeah.....what DDGM said.   :o

There's a DITR thread on the General Forum, too.

K, but Moms not allowed... and I'd prefer creamed corn. I've thought that would be awesome ever since I heard of it in Striptease, and Demi Moore started talking about picking niblets out of her whooha I've been sold.  [laugh]

but but your mom is hawt  [thumbsup]

Right up to the 2 girls 1 cup part.  Thems fightin' words!   [laugh]


 [puke]

you would rather 2 guys?  :o

Nice work guys....you just did it. [thumbsup] NMMR just passed the 10k post mark.

We've already done that.  Give us something to really sink our teeth into.   8)

 :-X ew  [puke]

purrrrrrr...bonfy makes me happy  [moto]

I've got several thoughts on where you can put yer teeth, Bonfy.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!   [thumbsup]

OMG!!!

and I'm out!

Get over it, Scottish!  Sheesh!  If it were up to you kids I'd have complex.  Thank God I am the Smelly Pirate Hooker from hell.   ;D

TEETH ??       Masochist !!                            I'll have you know .  .  .  .  .   ah, never mind.   ;D

Holy Shit, you dirty bastages!

Here is a link to the thread on GMF with all the details:  http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=34913.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=34913.0)

There is also a Facebook page with info.

See you dirtballs there!  [evil]

I don't stray much outside the NMMR forum and wasn't aware of your guys post.
Looking forward to last year's overwhelming NMMR presence in the event.
Here is Troy's recommendation from last year: www.alpenglowouray.com (http://).
See you there [moto]
 


 

Dammit Cloner!  Get back to me when you get a HERO member.  Slandering the SPH will not be tolerated!  And good luck getting the wife to let you go sporting signature lines like THAT!  Ya make us look like a bunch of hooligans.   :o

So, I can alter my usual schedule, give up some sailing time here in the East, and spend a little time in the Rockies in early August on my Monster with a bunch of marginal personalities?

This is truly tempting.

You won't regret it. Pam will be following the group in her cage and Barbara would make a great copilot.
I'm getting tired of being the oldest guy attending this event....could use some support...damn it. ;D [moto]

Submitted to the high command for review.

Moi?  Surely you jest!  My wife knew I was a slut long before we got married, so she was forewarned.  Besides.....what does your proclivity for dental hijinks have to do with MY behavior?   [evil]

As to looking like hooligans, you guys had that covered LONG before I moved to ABQ.  Hooligan.   [bow_down]

Good news, Bonfy!  I think I'll have your Hero Member ready in about 62 more posts.   [beer]  Isn't the break at 500 posts?

I'm dashed that a Senior Member isn't good enough for you.   :'(

Well, there has to be a cut-off somewhere, Cloner!    Lance keeps my plate pretty full just with the heros. 

The SPH's creed: 

You didn't lose your girlfriend, you just lost your turn.   

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Get to postin', Grasshopper!

Just not the same out there on the general forum...  Much better DiTR thread in here.

and this is surprising because of what again?!?   GMF is like the 'Good Morning America' board of the DMF, NMMR is more like Howard Stern.  [thumbsup]

[clap] ;D [bacon] [popcorn]

Yeah....what Stew said.  8)  This could be a very interesting DITR!

at least we haven't been banned on this frequency........yet  [laugh]

I guess if it comes to that, it'll be time for NMMR to get a forum of their own like costal ducati......  A whole section of girls on bikes...

Let's just say that a 'blind eye' has been mostly turned this-a-way.  Keep flying how you guys/gals are and there won't be issues.  The other boards where people get heated tend to get the attention.

 [thumbsup]

We're a horny, but peace-loving tribe......right? 

let sleeping dogs lie

we loves our moderator    [bow_down] [bow_down] [bow_down]

per usual, i accept cash and paypal only  [thumbsup]

precisely why my finances are in such disarray

I, however, both trump DDGM *and* take bribes.  ;D   [cheeky]   [laugh]   [drink]

   I'm sure there will be several "beverage bribes" in Ouray this year, Hell, that cost is easy to cover..   [drink] [beer]        But Ya gotta be there to collect ;)

bribes huh... I already sent my two-pence for parts :P

I thought that was cuz of hookers and blow?  Oh wait, that is Zaster.   Or was it Kingbaby? 

 [coffee]

all i ahve to offer is the plumbers "holy" undies   8)

Hookers? I give it away for free. I prefer congregating with like-minded sluts.

Let lying dogs sleep.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.


Nicrosato, NEVER give it up for free. 

Yeah, take it from the pro, no matter how smelly the clientelle, they can always be squeezed fior a little extra somethin somethin.  Girl's gotta live...

And I thought the "Culture Of Corruption" was in politics.   Instead it's right here on the DMF.  I'm shocked   . . .   SHOCKED     :o [roll]  [thumbsup]

With a big machine between your legs and a few dollars in your pocket, you can get a lot. Corruption? I'd say it's the way of the world.

Every time I THINK I have heard the most hillariously shocking thing come from our dear Bonfy, she sets the bar higher and makes me spit my coffee.

Hopefully that is better than throwing up a little in your mouth.  I do what I can!   [thumbsup]

I'm definately staying at Alpenglow again this year! I had a huge 2 bedroom condo all to myself. Even had room for a couple Ducs next to my front door. Only bad thing about it was having to walk two blocks away to hang with everyone.

Where the hell have you been? Great to hear from you though [thumbsup] Just because you are a flyboy doesn't mean you can't use those contraptions extending from your hips to see your friends. Looking forward to seeing you and riding with you again.  [thumbsup] [clap]

I've been flying quite a bit. Had to do the "Haitian Vacation" for a couple weeks delivering supplies. Doesn't look like I'm going anywhere for a while. Also, I started a new band called "The Herde" We are supposed to be playing a few gigs next month at the Monte Vista Fire House on Central, the Barley Room on north Eubanks, and the Atomic Cantina downtown. We played at the Barley room a few weeks ago with "Mr. Black" and New Years Eve at some cantina in Bernallilo.You guys need to come out and see us sometime! Look up "TheHerdeBand" on facebook.

The bike has been resurrected from last year finally!  Now how to get it out to ouray so I can make the beast with two backs it up again!  [bacon]

Anyone know anyone coming this year from the south-east?

Saw this today in case anyone is interested in a place that would accommodate a number of Hooligans...BTW Scottish, I know someone who would be very happy to have
you assist in giving a neglected monster a good work out [moto]
http://www.elkhorncabins.com/VacationTownhomes.php (http://www.elkhorncabins.com/VacationTownhomes.php)

The one address says it sleeps 10.  With a 3 night minimum at $325 a night and 10 Hooligans staying, that would work out to $97.50 a piece for the 3 night stay.  That would be a great deal ($32.50 a night).  Can't beat that.  All that's needed is 10 Hooligans who could stand each other for 3 nights.  That might be the hard part.   [laugh] [laugh]

having slept in the same room with the mouse...i can tell ya she snores and farts like nobody I have met.  [thumbsup]

you know matts crack and i would be down for that  ;D


shhhhhuuuuuussssshhhhh you skinner!!!

dont listen to him [cheeky] he doesn't know what he talking about  8)

:D Maybeeee
Notice the Plumber is silent on the issue?  [laugh]

then you could get us all started on the shenngian break dancing  ;D

ya matt doesn't like getting on her much....

What the?

doesn't like getting on here much  [cheeky]

amazing how one little letter "e" can change the entire conversation  [thumbsup]

Yuppp...I was thinking the same thing.  Glad we got that cleared up.   [coffee]

After some serious thread jacking which I truly enjoyed (NMMR has to be tops in this category) I wanted to see who might be
up for this: http://www.elkhorncabins.com/VacationTownhomes.php (http://www.elkhorncabins.com/VacationTownhomes.php)
Just trying to get folks thinking about DITR ......can't wait [moto] 
 
 
 

Karl, count me in.....     ;D

Ouray is a great place to ride! 

No amount of night time snoring or farting will deter me from my daily appointed rounds of delivering the mail on the local roads!.....    [leo]    But it is a little tough tossing envelops into those little slots while tucked in behind the wind screen....   [laugh]
 

 

Im down! Wats a round about time frame we're talking?

DITR is Ducati in the Rockies, Kwaker.  It's the first weekend of August, and you don't have to ride a Ducati to attend....though some unsavory characters (like Karl) might give you grief for showing up on "off brand" equipment.   ;D

It's a weekend long event, so bring a change of underwear.

I thought that was optional.


Unless you ride off road then it would be recommended.

Nice to see you on the board...BTW, Pam will have room in her car for additional gear and if Jennifer wants to go she is welcome to ride with her.

I do feel the love ;D


Can give additional advice on this one if needed ;D

Im so in.. :)  More like WE are so in.. :)  Lets us know if you want money .. When and where.. :)

Pam volunteered to call tomorrow and check on availability, accommodations, minimum length of stay, cost etc....
Prerequisites: Have to be able to snore, fart and ...well you get it ;D

oh u know i got that covered  ;D

Here is what's still available:
1951 Main Street

•This townhome is 1800sf, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There is a full private bath inside of each bedroom. Each bedroom has a queen size bed.
•Plasma screens, satellite TV and DVD in the livingroom and master bedroom
•Oversized soaking tub in the master bath
•Single car garage
•Fireplace
•A/C
•Granite countertops, Travertine flooring
•Sleeps 6
 

1943 Main Street

•This townhome is 1800sf, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There is a full private bath inside of each bedroom. Two sets of bunk beds in one bedroom, queens in the other two bedrooms, sofa sleeper in the livingroom
•Plasma screens, satellite TV and DVD in the livingroom and master bedroom
•Oversized soaking tub in the master bath
•Single car garage
•Fireplace
•Sleeps 10

Total cost for 3 nights is $1,115 incl. fees and taxes for either set up.
This means the folks occupying the bedrooms would pay $280 per bedroom and the remaining 4 folks
occupying the couch and the bunk beds would pay $70 per person for a 3 night stay if we have 10 folks staying there.
Let me know who is interested in what and I will see if we can pull this off.

Krys and I are down.. ;)

totally down! for whatever..

(http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/fart.gif)

Sooo, I was so excied about going that I forgot that Im having a baby on the 10th of Aug! hahaha! I don't think Im gonna be able to make it, to close to the date. Jennifer is gonna kill me if I let her know I forgot! LOL!  [bow_down]

Now, what was your phone number again, Adam?  Hmmmmm......    [evil]

Barbara and I are pretty much decided on passing on our June trip to ABQ and coming out in August for DITR. I assume that there are things to do for a non-rider like Barbara besides intoxication and debauchery.

Oh yes, she won't be the only one along without a cycle of her own. It's a quaint little mountain town we decend on.

Well, it's 505-918-......BAHAHA!

Just needed a final raise of hands before I commit to the townhome:
Nic & Barbara, Matt & Krystle, Ed, Rosemary.....a couple more would make it a home run [thumbsup]
Let me know and I'll handle the arraignments before this weekend ;)

I'm in...  Currently bike-less, but in none-the-less.  [thumbsup]

hey cloner u coming this time? since its earlier then your anni? will the wife ok it  [beer] or join in?

My anniversary is Saturday the 7th.....so it's really not earlier.  I'll work on it if I have to scrub my Laguna trip, as I'm starting to think I will.

for some reason i was thinking that we were earlier this year..but as i see your anni is right when were in ouray  [laugh]

what a way for me to think im thinking ahead  :P [laugh]

Sent PM's to get some feedback about our group stay in Ouray.
If you could let me know by Saturday and I'll make final arrangements.
Would be awesome to see the NMMR gang in one place [moto]

This always makes me sad.  I still consider myself part of the NMMR, but I really like to stay with the main group.  One of these years, maybe the organizers will take a vote to see where the majority want to stay before they set it up.   The little pockets of Ducatisti spread out all over town just doesn't pack the same punch as when everyone congregates at one location.

We are a block away.. We could scream out the open window and you will hear us.. Its not like we are going to hide in the room only.. Like last year, it was ride, bs, drink, talk, sleep...  We will drink, party eat, shoot the shit with the main.> Then sleep in condo.. :)

Miss you bon.. :)

M

believe me i had this argument with them...they post it up and people dont really vote and then before we know it, its at another place...i know that i made my vote yet again known...but ya  :-\

and its not like were not going to be around...the majority of our time will be with the main group we just sleep across the street  ;D but i can tell ya the first to times i went have noe been as crazy as the last 2 times before  [laugh] were all a little  [popcorn] 8)

I booked the townhome for the NMMR group tonight...so anyone who PM'ed or responded to me has a place to stay :)
Last minute arrivals can use the living room to camp out...
Just wasn't impressed with last year's accomodations and would love to stay close to my NMMR friends.
Accommodations:

Are 1943 Main Street
•This townhome is 1800sf, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There is a full private bath inside of each bedroom. Two sets of bunk beds in one bedroom, queens in the other two bedrooms, sofa sleeper in the livingroom
•Plasma screens, satellite TV and DVD in the livingroom and master bedroom
•Oversized soaking tub in the master bath
•Single car garage
•Fireplace
•Sleeps 10
Are you ready to  [moto]

Pam and I secured the condo with the following sleeping arraignments:
The two bedrooms with private bathrooms are occupied by Nic and Barbara
and Pam and myself at a cost of $300 for all three nights.
The third bedroom has four bunk beds occupied by Ed (bottom bunk), Stew and Jim with one spot still available
at a total cost of $135 for the three night stay.
Matt and Krystle would occupy the pull out couch for a combined total of $200 for three nights.
Finding another participant to occupy the remaining bunk bed will translate into an even lower cost.
Your feedback and opinion would be appreciated.
Can't wait to see you there [moto]

Friggin' awesome right there...  ;D

Thanks Karl.  [thumbsup]

Is it friggin' August yet?!?!?!?!

Not yet, but it's creeping up quickly!

less then 2 months away...im not even ready....

well its just about a month away guys...

whats the plan..were we gonna meet that fryday morning? what time? which route do we wana take? yada yada yada...

the usual questions

what u guys think about doing a ducnite the toosday before at our house to clean the motos and BS and have a drink and do a pre-prep  [beer]

we did it a couple of years ago at DDGM house and it was great idea and thought it would be fun to do again

CRAP!  Really?!?  A month out?  make the beast with two backs....I've got to get busy on my bike!

ya we leave Aug 6....

i for some reason thought it was a week earlier so I am out this year but just went there a month early instead.....so......all...... have my video from today so you can all get excited..also posted on the NMMR picture thread
MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY DUCATI VS HONDA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC3VgJzaDHs#normal)

   Very Cool, just gotta love the rocks on the road, and I notice You observed the 25mph speed limit also.. [roll] [thumbsup]

if it was a week early we would be in the july [laugh] that is the first weekend of the month [laugh]

love the video...

Question: What's are the temperatures like in the Rockies? I'm trying to think ahead about riding apparel.

get an under armor long sleeve shirt...it can get a little chilly at 10k feet...you can always peel the layers off

Anything waterproof. Rule: If ya have it, it won't rain. If ya don't it will.
Ask me how I know that.

Lorenzo, I'll check vid out when I get he this eve, it's not so fun to watch thing on an iPhone. That, & I'm blind doesn't help either.

See you guys at my class in the morning.

Look at me! I'm spelling like mouse.

soooo true


dammit you beat me to it.....yes i plot to take over the world is working...one wrong word at a time  [evil] [roll]

Zarf!

Fellow Duc-lovers, as a pre-planner myself, I'm with DucMouse on this one. No pre-plan, no mystery riding.  [bow_down]

in Durango do u wana do the same BBQ place.....or...maybe.... this  http://www.skabrewing.com/main.html (http://www.skabrewing.com/main.html)

Totally agree Mouse....plus we could pick up screw drivers in our tires amongst other things that went wrong on the 550 trip....count us in [thumbsup]

yes 550 is totally cursed [laugh]

JJ informed me that he would like to be the tenth occupant
of the hooligan townhome. He will be bunking with the bunk bed crowd.
Pam will bring some bed rolls in case we have any last minute appearances
who are willing to crash on the floor ;D

Kinda late to the party so I have to be the dumbass to ask what is DITR?  ???

Ducati In The Rockies.

An annual gathering in Ouray, CO.

Cool! Love that area!

Anymore room at the inn?

Pending approval by the big boss.:)

I believe we have an inflatable mattress in our casa in ABQ that we could throw in Pam's van.

Great idea, Nic [thumbsup]

Aaaaand we're out.  :'( :'( :'(

Have fun for us guys. We might still end up coming 'round NM soon, but we wont be able to make the trip. We demand plenty of pictures and videos.

Cheers  [beer]

 :'(

Sorry to hear that....it won't be the same without you :'(

With El Matador dropping out did a bed open up?

No, he wasn't going to stay with us...but you are always welcome to
crash on an air bed.

COOL! As long as I have a roof over my head and a shower I am good.

Put me down as attending.

Hopefully you guys won't be too hard on a noob.:)

Could I put a backpack or a small duffel in the van that is following the group?

Can do [thumbsup]

I'm sorry I will miss the chance to meet Desmolu & El Matador in person. I was looking forward to comparing our riding experiences through the mountains of the southeast.

We definitely have the inflatable mattress and will be bringing it for anyone who prefers some sort of cushion to the hard floor.

how exciting...now im even more ready guys..is it time yet??

Since this is my first DITR, a few questions:

- What's the temperature range that can be expected? I don't own full leathers (and current finances preclude a purchase), but I'm thinking of bringing along my all-weather 1-piece. Otherwise, it's Draggin Jeans, an Alpinestars jacket and, of course, a rain suit.

- Any amateur muscians in the group? I can bring along my Baby Taylor guitar and a few harmonicas in Pam's van.

its pretty cool...maybe 70's during the day and it will get into the 50's at nite...so it gets a bit cooool...but then again your from NY and i think you can handle the cold [thumbsup]
the most cold will be throught the mt passes...

no muscians im aware of...but it never hurts to play some music while were all outside drinking :)

Cant wait to meet the NM gang that joined after I moved!!  Looking forward to seeing you all

i can't wait to see u guys..i miss y'all soo much  :'(

Welcome and enjoy the rides! Feels like a furnace, but roads are clean...I hope you are here for a while...I'll be Nashville through weekend.  :( But, I'll catch up in Ouray... [moto]

SWEET.. :)  IM SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS WEEKEND.. I HAVE BEEN JONZZZEN FOR IT SINCE WE LEFT LAST YEAR.. :)

And we say the road is sketchy...pfff

   Cool, looks like the Shelf Road from Victor to Canon City, well maybe not quite that narrow, but close!!

ppppftffffftttt im down lets do this  [moto]


oh i remember those dirt roads a couple years back when i was coming back home from Denver....

Hey boys n' girls!

Anyone looking for a roommate for DiTR?

Cheers,
Adam

PM sent..........

Are we doing DITR shirts this year??

Just curious.. :)

no shirts but stickers...i already asked this and titty said stickers....its on the facebook page

k.. Thanks hun

Question from DITR newbie: Do we have to RSVP or something? Or, Zaster, did you cover that?

no really...but there is a facebook(yes i know some of y'all dont do that) page that you can RSVP so they can get a head count for the dinner sat eve....

Talked to Count Desmo and he could hook up with us on the way
back from Ouray in Aztec for lunch since he has an outdoor event planned
with his family on the weekend we go up.
I programmed his cell number so we can contact him before we leave Ouray
on Monday if anyone is game.

Sure.. :)

Aaaaand...We're out. We missed the back on Monday part. No 4 day weekend here, both have to be at work @7 Monday & Felina was riding with Pam & Barb. 
Ride safe & carve some for me.

See ya down the road

This would be the way we went last year:

Let me know what everyone wants to do [moto]
Gas stops for this route: Espanola, Chama, Durango

I'm not a Speed TV guy usually, but while surfing last night, I came across a show called "Dangerous Drives". Featured was the Million Dollar Highway from Durango to Montrose.

Hey- I'm going to ride on that? It looks scary...

Put those big boy pants on.. :) [thumbsup] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto]

Nic,
The fun is in riding up there within your comfort zone...we'll make it a fun event and I'm looking forward to spending time with you and Barbara [moto]

Hey DucMouse,
Which Shell stations will we hook up for fueling purposes....Espanola, Chama, Durango...you being the veteran DITR
member for the NMMR group you need to take charge and tell the peeps when and where...start time etc etc [moto] ;D

   [popcorn]

    [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [drink] [drink] [coffee] [coffee] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [beer] [beer] [coffee] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [moto] [thumbsup]    OH YEAH!!!

In Espanola.. The shell is on the opposite side of the town.. We can just stay on 285 and stop at "Rio Chama Chevron Espanola"


In chama... There are no Shell Station in chama.. We can just stop at any of the 3 that they have..

In Durango there are 4 shell stations on 550.. @ 9th street, 20th, 18th , 17th

Even if we hit at least one shell on the way up we will be fine.. :)

Where do you want to run into me? Santa Fe, Espanola or midway or shoudl I fall from sky?  ;D Yay!  [moto]

Annnnnnd I am out.

Jammed one of my fingers on my clutch hand pretty good and there is no way I can enjoy the ride even if I take some of the heavy duty Tylenol I have left over from an another accident.

This sucks a big one!! [bang] [bang] [bang].

Have fun for me and I look forward to seeing the videos you guys take.

My luck with meeting up with you guys is horrid.

Luv A Duc

I'm not really scared: It seemed to be the goal of the show to make the road seem as scary as possible.

What is our departure time Friday?

Yeah , keep believing that... Let me know how that goes.

If ever there was a "Ride your ride" road, this is it.

And remember, none of them are scary as long as you stay on them.

You guys have a blast!!!

   Hell, KB, it really blows that You're not going to make it.   Will toast a beer to Ya' anyhow, Happy Trails   [thumbsup]

Driving in NY, sometimes it seems like the opposite is true- not being on them is safer.

KRJ- I was super bummed that we had to jump ship. There are two sections of road up their that I literaly have dreams about.  I will miss hanging out with you... Especialy the drinkin' part. Carve a few for me.  All is not lost though, We are headed to Vegas for 2 days to burn some birthday pres. Airline tickets. I'm a Vegas lovin' MoFo

Nic- I started to make that point, having lived there for awhile, but my i phone fag was acting up. Only there does the stay off the pavement rule aply.

When are you going to be in Vegas?  I'll be there starting Monday (one of the reasons why I can't make DiTR).

Or are you just heading to Vegas, NM?  ;)

My 3-into-1 header will be final welded tomorrow, then some 'rough' carb tuning and My Triumph is rockin' for Ouray baby!!! [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

mañana.  Sorry we won't cross paths, Randy. We are going to a Chris Angel (the magician) party tomorrow night, back Saturday night.  And before someone says it... No. There will be no pictures. Or at least none that will be posted.  Come on...it's Vegas Baby.

woo hooo i cant wait to hear it...


there is always pictures somewhere  [evil]

now that its getting closer guys..

remember

So quick question for the NM gang ... Where is Casa Hooligan?  Skinner, Justin, and I will be staying there ;D

By the grace of Duck-Stew, I will be making this ride tomorrow. He's showing up tonight with some borrowed ignition parts and that will hopefully be enough to get the bike running.

Whooo Hooo.. I would love to be there to help

I'm no priest, but I pray you are able to exorcise the demon's and get that beast running!  Good luck with it!   [thumbsup]

Rio Chama Chevron Espanola- If this is where I have to run into you all, what time?  [clap]

If we get going as planned by 7:00 from Bernalillo, we should be there between 8 and 8:30 AM.  [moto]

Jeremy,
We'll call you once we get to Chama to give you an idea when we make it to the BBQ place.
Should be a 2 hour  [moto]

Sounds good!  I'll clear my schedule enough to be in DGO at lunch time. [thumbsup]

Perfecto! See you there... [thumbsup] Should we let the night go through or just start right away?  ;D

A bit anxious...aren't we [clap] Look for 6 bikes to hook up with [moto]

Duck-Stew rules! Showed up with some "test" spark ignitors and bike fired right up. I will be cruising north in the morning.

And thanks to Zaster for the company and support.

Gee, I feel almost as excited as Mouse.

Great!  I'm glad to hear it!  I hope everyone has a safe trip!  Monster 0 - Stew 1... 

Woo hoo!!!

So, in this lesson, did everyone learn to pack away 2...or four plugs when they travel?
What happens when you have no fire, but lots of fuel...foul!!!!!
I always have two extra (I have a four valve.. Me not so smart) when I ride.

Bikes live on, air, fuel & fire. They have NO heart, regardless of anyones belief that they (your bike) may be your soul mate. Keep it simple, like stu did here.

Nic, I love everyone here, but your journey will be the one that makes me smile each day.

RAGE ON HOOLIGANS !

 

 

And, KB, I am very remiss for not publicly giving you a shout out for your very generous offer to lend me your bike. Me? An Italian guy from NY. Hey, can you spell chop shop?

No, seriously thank you to all the NMMRers who were helpful and supportive the last 2 days. It will make this ride so much sweeter.

The score's a might higher than that....  Just sayin'.  Will be good to get out & kill bugs w/mi amigos...

AND WE ARE OFF!!!!!

Made it to Ouray at 1:15.  Met KRJ in Canon City.  Waiting for the rest of the gang to show up!  Woot!  Woot!

Hope you and everyone else has a great weekend! Glad you made it in one piece!

Have a safe ride everybody!

Wishing I was there and not here with a splint on my finger.

We do, too!  Missing everyone who couldn't make it...but there is always next year!  Start planning now!  Same time, same place!

Well....the anniversary dinner went swimmingly.  Wish I could be hangin' with you guys today.  Hows about an update?!?

Here Scott, you will have an update from Matt with a video...Simply, it is the best ride ever! Never miss it again!!! Another beautiful day to cruise... [moto]

I'm back all safe and sound and stuff.

The Michelin men on the sides of my rear 150/70/17 Pilot Road have been sacrificed to the gods of speed on CO145 which is a nice road w/a 45mph limit and 45mph corners.  We were attacking it between 80-95.  There's a mechanical limit to the speed that can be carried on a Triumph Legend on that road.  It's 80-95mph.  [evil]

It rains a lot in CO.  Rain-gear is a necessity.

There's DAMN good beer in Ouray, CO.  Like 15% beer. 

Ouray is a gorgeous town nestled in the mountains.  Frickin' Wow-zers...

Roads are great to unbelievable and in good shape too. 

I'll be back next year for damn sure!  Hehehehe.... [evil]

You don't have to wait till next year!  Let me know if you plan on rolling through and I'll give you some great lunch recommendations.

Good point, but w/my work schedule getting time off for a proper tour of the area would happen in the spring at the earliest...

I've got some pics if anyone still up in Ouray finds my digital camera.  I may have lost it...

Hope it shows up.

All the IZish quality, camera phone pics are nice & all, but...

Where are all of Gloria'a pics?!!!  I know she had to take at least a couple!

I have the ones from mine  [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil]

Hope everyone made it home OK ;)

JJ did...Was a blast  [moto] Ouray!!! Thanks a ton!  [thumbsup] Waiting on pics and videos!  [beer]

So far, no one has my camera so it may actually be lost in Ouray.  Oh well, it wasn't super special or anything....

I made it back yesterday, but next year (and yes...I'll be back next year) I'm taking at least Friday and Monday off.  Might make it a 5-day actually.

Did precious little work today.  Just hung around fighting off the haze that clouded my mind waiting for 4:30pm...  Drove the van.  Trumpy's dirty-as-hell.  I'm beat (still).  My neck hurts & I've got 2 knots in my lower back too. 

And let me state for the record:  I'd do it all again and more in a minute...most likely less than a minute.  It was an EPIC weekend of comeraderie, riding, drinking, scenery and just awesomeness...  Loved it all.  [thumbsup]


And 2ndly for the record:  I was indeed successful in scrubbing ALL the little Michelin men off my 150/70/17 rear Pilot Road and I now KNOW where the limits of that '99 Legend TT chassis are.  Wow...were we flyin'!

Oh Stuart, were you pushing it with the same suspension that I saw on the TT last time you came through Outback or did you manage the upgrades before you left? If so, I've never seen anyone go after the Michlin man in a recliner. Must been interesting. [cheeky]

DITR was SUPER fun!    [thumbsup]   

The roads were awesome, the scenery was "knock your socks off", and the people were enthusiastic, knowledgeable crazy enough to be interesting and the bikes were running on "Starship Power!" 

Mother nature gave us a little rain but also enough time between wet downs to ride the roads. 

Making the event happen was the work of some special people.   [bow_down]  For example,  Pam and Karl did a superb job of hosting for the NM group!   Keith and Brian were mechanical rescuers deluxe and there were many more contributors that others can nominate. 

A good event is the combined result of the efforts of the folks involved and this year there were many.  Thanks to all of you who played a role in making it all happen!   [clap]

+1 DucDog   [bow_down] to Pam and Karl.

Stu, your camera was stolen by the elf that took my glasses.

   I thought it was the Monkees at "The Dirty Bar"......They're sneeky like that Ya' know!!

Great time. First of all, Barb and I knew we would enjoy the company of all of you whom we've met here in ABQ the last year. Then there were the new locals, like Dr. Amazing, better known as Duck-Stew. Pam and Karl did a first class job of making arrangements and following through. Gee, I wish Pam could cook (just kidding!).

The scenery speaks for itself. Riding up to Gateway and on over to Delta Saturday, I had to remind myself not to get hypnotized.

Riding? Well, I am slow, and my old girl of a bike ain't that fast, either. But, for the most part, I rode well, concentrated on being smooth and enjoying myself. I am realistic enough to know I wasn't going to keep up with most of you, but I *was still riding*. This is not the type of riding I get to do back east, so I'm still learning. Plus, I am also used to riding alone, so I never got a feeling of being left out. Hey- if you're on a Ducati in Colorado, something must be right.

It was great seeing Bonfy and Dusty again, and meeting some of the Denver crowd. KRJ is a mensch. Lee from Oregon is a great rider and a great guy.

Put me down for next year.

Been checking the forum every other minute for pics and videos...! Where are they, memories are fading, need to keep them alive!

Now for official compliments, firstly to all who made it for supporting and making it the trip we will never forget! Then to the crucial people...Pam and Carl...I'm not sure how to thank you both enough! Pam kept the kitchen running feeding as many that showed up...Amazing effort, we could take off on time and have a great ride everyday! Carl, for organizing a fabulous vacation! Ed- the man on fire, made great plans and showed us how a real life is lead! Matt and Ducmouse, for capturing the moments on a super videocam  that can be watched on a fat BIG screen! Nick and Barbara for the great company and support. Nick played some amazing blues on his little guitar! Stew was his pleasant best! Skinner for bringing the blowup creature into our life...Jim had a role to show things can be crazy, nuts and still twine together!  ;)

Rest, thanks for having me be a part of your life for few good days to remember!  [beer]

Barb took some pictures which I will post as soon as I get the correct USB cable to download the photos from her camera.

Thanks for everyone's participation and support in making our DITR 2010 a memorable event [thumbsup]

Gonna do a write up and add my pics. But primarily want to make sure Bonfy made it home OK. That was my first parking lot tire swap without the benefit of a tire machine.

Hope everyone had a great time (I know I did...keeping up with the BMWs of Micah and Willy was some fun but also some work) and looking forward to next year.


Ryan

   ZLTFUL, Thanks for all You did, I overslept sun. morn. and wished someone had called to wake Me, apparently You had it under control. Bonfy, Charlie and I had a good ride home, seen Nick in Gunnison when We stopped for fuel, Charlie caught 285 in Poncha, Bonfy stopped to visit Shannon and the Critters, then headed Home. I had a great time, nice to meet new people and see some old friends again!!.. And the riding was fun also, between the mud washes, rocks, sheep and rain it was still a good experiance.. I must commend Bonfy on Her tenacity and strong will, and Stuart, Dusty, Nick, and Lee for Their support in an awkward situation, Thats what makes riding with This Group a pleasure...more to come...

a BIG thx to Karl and Pam for all that you guys did...

it was great to be with everyone and hang and just ride [moto] im already ready for next year

and the prize we will ours  [evil] [popcorn]

Very nice, Matt.  Looks like you're having a pretty good time, there.   [moto]

Sorry for my late posting with pictures.  I had the chance to work some serious overtime this week so I didn't get a chance to load my pictures and get them on the forum.

Well, we all survived another DiTR!!!!  Yea!  Already looking forward to DiTR 2011.  It's always the highlight of my riding year.

I have already posted most of these on facebook, so I will limit it to some top favorites.  I will post the facebook link for those who may not have seen it.

And we are off:

Lee and I met up with KRJ in Canon City and headed across on beautiful Highway 50.

This is about all the riding I got to do with the NMMR gang - a quick stop at the gas station on the way to Telluride:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/DitR%202010/100_0510.jpg)

It all started with the glowing green meteorite:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/DitR%202010/100_0517.jpg)

Sure had fun riding with Rosemary, Stuart, Nic, KRJ, and Lee.  We ended up splitting up with the larger group after I did my usual Jorge stunt.  But the bike was still ridable and I was still ridable, so we pressed on.  Once I got used to riding with crooked handlebars, things shaped up fine....

On the way to Gateway, Rosemary and Stuart split off and followed the gang coming in the opposite direction.  KRJ, Lee, Nic, and I made it over there and on the way back, KRJ and I stopped at the motorcycle shop in Montrose to pick up a tire...which I was wearing around my waist when my tire blew.

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/DitR%202010/100_0516.jpg)

At that point, KRJ ran on ahead to Ouray to arrange a rescue mission.  Ryan (ZLitFul) stepped right up to the plate and came to collect the bike and I with his trailer.  He threw that tire on in no time flat the next morning for which he will have my eternal gratitude.

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/DitR%202010/100_0518.jpg)

The ride home was uneventful, but I enjoyed it anyway.   [laugh]

Thanks everyone for the great memories!  See you next year!

Ungrateful, cheating little latex bastard!  I thought I was his BFF.  :'(

hey, you didn't lose your boyfriend, you just lost your turn!    ;D ;D ;D

Looking at the pic again, you can tell Lance isn't going to hang around Ryan for too long...

WTF!!! WATER??!!!  Without Hops & Barley?!!!

I still got a soft spot in my tail for ya, Bick.  One can never have too many homies, ya know.  Keep a barley pop on ice for me, and I like a good stiff one once in awhile, too.   [evil]  SHOT TIME!!!!

Y'all are a bunch of instagators. Working to get him riled up like that sheesh.  [wine]

Mods done to the Legend before Ouray:
Kawasaki ZX9R rear shock
Added 2 1/2" inches of spring pre-load to the front end
Lowered the forks another 0.400" in the triples
Completed my modified 3-into-1 exhaust system w/the Remus can.

The poor Michelin man...destroyed...  What did he ever do to me?!?  [evil]

You need to ride this thing Anson...  It's soooo much better than it looks like it would be!

I know we just got back from this year's outing but wanted to see what
everyone thinks about this.....could accommodate the whole DITR gang :D
http://www.elkhorncabins.com/vacation_rentals.php (http://www.elkhorncabins.com/vacation_rentals.php)

Ahhh... well from what you listed, compared to the last time I saw it I'm not surpised. I remember sitting on it reminded me of my old land ladies El Dorado Barritz... a '76 I believe it was. You sank into it the same way.  [laugh] Nicely done though, it's always fun when the unexpected comes smokin around a corner keeping up with bikes it has no business keeping up with. I've always been a fan of sleepers.

I rode Stu's Trumpet.  It's actually quite fun once you get used to the upright riding position (which took about three turns).  It feels like a heavy, mushy dirtbike.....you attack the turns and square them off rather than plowing into them like you would on a sportbike.    ;)  Nice engine...plenty of torque on tap down low and smooth 'til the power drops off near redline. 

All-in-all, the bike feels pretty good with its pipe on the ground, or passing your own MH900e on the outside of a left hander...until you spot a deer on the side of the road.   [evil] :o [moto] [bacon]

Well, that explains how you paid your rent.

 BOOM CHICKA BOW WOW

OH SNAP!!!

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Good ol' Bunny.  I know you enjoyed her Cream Puff, too.  Never realized she was a cougar at the time.

A few photos I grabbed from Barbara's camera:

Sooo...... I'm planning a bike for next year.... perhaps a Ouray debut.  :o

Does that mean I get the Dragon back?   :o

I'm thinking the Dragon will still be seeing use. It will be a more ridable bike, for normal usage. I'm thinking of building a beast. Something fast and pretty dedicated. I am thinking the that the Dragon may see use as a loaner for outta town without bike peeps as well. I know you'll probably hate the idea of others on him but hey.  [drool] I'm a droolng idiot.  [laugh]
