Ducati Monster Forum

It's time again, Notte Italiana at the Gnome this coming monday.  Who's coming?

There  [bacon]

not there. work   :'(

I've never been, but I'd like to come.  Do you accept newbies?

Of course! 

You have to sit by Mo though.

It's kind of a hazing thing. 

Everyone is welcome....you don't even have to own an italian bike.  Just realize that we reserve the right to make fun of you extensively and expect that you make an attempt to dish it back.

Major Slow, bring you Ipad....just in case.  ;)

I figured you'd have bought your own after last month...

He probably needs more than an ipad

Ouch guys.  My already low self esteem has now hit rock bottom.  [bang]

I signed up, but I only get email reminders only once in awhile.  ???

seems I'm always at work when these events roll around.

i'll try 2 make it. do they have highlife?[bacon]

If I can sneak out of work a little early I should make it.

Guys save me a seat at the cool table  [thumbsup]

Gabe, Jeff and I will be attending. Does anybody have a monster manual they can bring. Preferably one with an imobilizer. I have misplaced mine.

Can't make it tonight, sorry.

Have a Surly for me. :)

Well before I left the Gnome tonight I got pregnant doged out by some lady, that lives near by, because she thought my bike was too loud.  She threatened to call the cops.   [leo]

I honestly thought she was going to smack you in the helmet the way she stormed over there. She has issues with bikes in general. Our group tipped her over the edge. She made it sound like loud bikes are an every night occurrence.

Schwanger that is awesome! I'm pissed I missed out on that. Nobody yelled at me when I left. Told you your bike was louder  [cheeky]

Yeah she came running.  Maybe I will have to make it an every night occurrence for her.  [evil]


Chachi said she yelled at him when he left also.  She apparently just sat out there and waited for everyone to leave.

I love peoples mentality that think they can do that kind of shit.  hey check it out you live in the make the beast with two backsing city you dumb pregnant dog.  you want it quiet move to the country.  it seems to be a big st paul thing too.  like last year the people who sued bremmer because the lights on the bremmer building were effecting the lighting in their big buck condos DOWNTOWN.  wtf is wrong with people.  next month Im driving there and just setting off my car alarm the whole time or bringing some drum troop from north mpls.  Ragnar is right St Paul isn't a real city [bacon]

Done  ;)

Ugh, we don't need more of her kind out in the country. They complain the farmers plow/harvest too late at night.  They complain about dirt bikes, atvs, snowmobiles, chainsaws, and the race track that they built a house across the street from. A guy I worked with moved outside of Hudson and complained about how loud the frogs were in the spring.  [roll]

Yeah, wasn't it St. Paul where that super Jackass, Garison Keeler sued his neighbors for building a garage that obstructed his view? I think it was St. Paul.

Garison Keeler sucks and so do his stories.  ohhh its part 2 of the great tuna cassaroll caper. gather round the radio kids.  zzzzzzzzzzzz[bacon]

I also heard from someone from last night that they also got complaints from the neighbors about reving bikes for a 1/2 hour.  I am not sure about why they are complaining now.  Was there too much rev'ing in the parking lot last night?  I was stuck as the last person to pay our bill so I didn't see much of the after dinner festivities.  Complaints never are good.  People can have their opinion but if they tell the management we could be asked to leave.  I hope not I like it there.   [drink]

I highly doubt it anyone was rev'ing their bike for 1/2 and hour.  More than like it was people coming or going.  Lady was just all bent out of shape.  She made a lot of empty threats.

I was out when a representative of the gnome was speaking to her. He seemed to be explaining that we had the right to start the bikes and leave; He also gave her the name of the owner and manager and said that she could complain to them. It looked to me that she is a consistent complainer and they deal with her regularly.

The gnome does not want to give up this business. 20-30 extra people on a Monday makes their week. I am all for moving to some place on a 45+ mph road. Parts of me would be much cooler.

By the way, if someone threatens to call the police when you are doing a lawful activity always say "Please do". Although I don't advocate adding to the police workload, it is the only way that people will realize that the activity is normal and legal. I am sure that those of you with outstanding warrants (SCHWANG, MO) would have plenty of time to slink away.

I talked to a gentleman at work that was disappointed with his new country acreage because when the wind came from the neighboring farm it stunk of cows. I always wonder about the thought process of building your dreamhouse next to a farm and then complain about the farming. Or buying a house behind a bar and complain that people use the parking lot.

 [clap]

Or the classic South Minneapolis home owner complaining about the airport noise.........

I liked the dtn condo owners complaining about the wooden street(stupid idea to begin with)noise in the paper yesterday.  apparently the wood road noise drowns out the noise of drunk bums and yelling thugs.  poor 2 million dollar apartment owners [bacon]

How about those Ducati owners that complain about service costs.  [cheeky]

are you dissin me? [bacon]

I'm dissin every Duc owner because we have all done it. I even sold my 996 because of the cost to play.

I just like to point out the fact that of all the yamaha's I've owned none of them ever missed a beat, yet, knock on wood.  and if there is a strong breeze chances are something will go wrong with a ducati.  and in conclusion....expanding tanks, traction control, and kickstand relays lol [bacon]
