Ducati Monster Forum

I'm noticing that the south florida section of this board is pretty dead.

*yells* Is there anyone out there...there........there.......!?

I wouldn't mind meeting a fellow monster owner. Grand total, I've seen two others on the road: what looked like a 695 (only saw him briefly at a light near pembroke pines), and another 696 (at the ducati dealership in miami)

I'm on here.  Yeah, nobody is ever online.  The online presence is pretty limited from here.

I'm online most of the day. I try to keep up with this section, but like you said, it's pretty dead. I rarely ride with this heat, but I'm always willing to meet up as long as it doesn't require riding down to Miami.

Yeah, it's too bad. Some of the other sections have people running organized rides and such. Would be cool to see a pack-o-monsters out on the sofla roads.


I'm going to keep an eye on this section, and maybe post about local events/rides I see. Perhaps some people will come out of the woodworks.

I've been riding a lot lately, even in the heat. It's not so bad if you dress for it... I got one of those 'moisture wicking' shirts that I wear under my jacket - it makes a huge difference.

There's a "bike" night every Tuesday organized by the local Ducati club. I try to make that at least once a month. It's in Ft' Lauderdale and usually there are 3 distinct groups (vintage guys, Chris Boy's crew and Ducati Forza). Chris' crew are usually the guys that are racing almost every weekend. Ducati Forza is the dealer, in other words they sent a representative usually George Mayer, to hang out. The vintage people tend to be the older guys that rarely ride to the event. You also have Guido from Shift-Tech that hangs out there every week. Forza also organizes rides on the weekends. Last time I went, they rode down to lunch in Key Largo.

I'm considering maybe organizing a group to drive up to Barber for the vintage weekend in October.

Well if you guys want to  [evil] 's around we can meet up somewhere close then all tear in like a bat out of hell. Maybe that will get us some attention.  I normally ride my human powered bike on tuesday but if you want to hang at the pizza place they hang out just me a message. i live 10 minutes away.

By the way were do you live evocarti just so i have a point of reference. I live in Davie

I haven't hit the bike night in a few weeks. Vicki should be back from Laguna with some stories. I'm up for the bike night as well.

Yes me too i was busy getting married. would like to ride thru at least once. after the sun goes down ofcourse.

Of course. Too freaking hot to ride during the day

I live near university and pines, in pemboke pines/hollywood... real close by. I'd be game for the bike night as well - pick a good tuesday and we can meet up and swing by :)

I'm available any time, so just let me know if you guys want to go this week.

Hey guys is this tuesday good for you?  If evocarti you want to meet up 1st then ride over or just meet you there im cool for what ever.

I'm cool for tomorrow. I just need to let the wife know.

Count me in!

Duccarlos, where/when exactly is the bike night in fort lauderdale? Would you be up for meeting up beforehand?

Latinbalar, I was thinking we could meet at the gas station at the NW corner of Nova Dr (24th St) and University... I *think* it's a Chevron, but it's on the northwest side for sure. It's just a quick jump onto 595 and anywhere in fort lauderdale from there.

PS. I ride slow :)

PPS. By 'slow' i mean: roughly 10 over, cruising speed :)

Panaretto Pizza
1331 SE 17th St
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

Usually starts at 7 and most are there by 8. I've hung out until around 10.

I can meet up with you guys if you wish. I ride down from Boca by way of I95 and generally take Davie to cross over. I can probably head down to University and 595.

Sounds like a plan..

Hey Evocarti don't worry about riding slow, it just means your safe and thats always good. Me on the other hand im a bit more  [evil] but i like to cruise too.

Dinner is 7 to 8 so wanna meet at the above-mentioned gas station around 6:45 or so?

I can probably do that.

I'll need to take a rain check. My brother-in-law is coming back from Tampa and will be flying back to Switzerland on Wednesday. Sorry guys, I have to go to dinner with them tomorrow.

Cool duccarlos - no worries.

Since it looks like it's just the three of us - let's hold off until we're all free. Keep your eyes open for Tuesdays; I certainly will!

My plans with my brother-in-law fell through at the last minute. Lets just say I was not very happy with him. He's leaving this week, so unless his ghost sticks around for another week, I should be able to make it next week.

I should have my bike back by Friday!  Looking forward to meeting you all next meeting.

Sweet looks like we are up to 4 now.

Who else is out there.

Hey guys,
I'm down in North Bay Village, off of 79th St. and 95 in Miami. I'm down to meet up next week. What time and where? I went on one of those rides down to the Keys and some of those guys FLY! I don't have the pockets to pay for the bike and the ticket so I'm a 10+ cruiser as well. I've seen a bunch of monsters in Miami but usually we're going the opposite way.
Let's get this thing going!

Cool up to 5, if you have a monster please stand up.


Hey the reason we bought monsters was to be sexy mofo's  and not for the speed.  90 is about max for me on the highway and even then its a rarity. 

As long as its good for every body lets plan for this tuesday coming up same as before so read above for the details.

Ya, look for this Tuesday - let's try the bike night in Ft Lauderdale again.

4-5 monsters rollin around, snarly L-twins... excitement :)

What models do y'all ride? I'm on a red 696.

S2R 800 Dark.

The biggest Hooligan of them all with an 05' 620 Dark.

You wish.  [evil]

We shall see.

07 Black S4RS

A lot of black Monsters. Mike will still be the coolest.

Mike?

That should ahve read "Mine", but I fat fingered it.
