Ducati Monster Forum

Drove past the banner on Victoria Rd in Ryde. Sunday 19th September. I think it's the DOCNSW event.

Royal Rehab Centre Sydney Moorong Spinal Unit Ryde. 600 Victoria Rd, Ryde.

I remember last year, a few of our members did quite well...Jukie ??

Good day out and hopefully I'll be riding by then.

Yes I did do well so out come the cleaning equiptment and lots of kms on the bike and all should be good for another round. Come on Mr Spainish boy you know who you are

Mmmm was thinking this must of been not too far away.

I might bring my new toy along! ;D

Yeah i'm onto the DOC  already to have my name put on the Monster 2 valve category Trophy [thumbsup]

Will save them some  juding time and Yellow isn't in fashion this year

it not about the colour Robs it about the goods you have  [evil]

I do believe i have a very good package [evil]

And i read some were that previous winners tend to get over looked  :'(
As to keep it interesting and more motivating for the other entrants ;) [cheeky]

So I'm gonna get over looked ???
How is that motivating to go along?

To thread Jack though weren't we going for a 5 ferries ride the day before
Finish thread jack.

The judging criteria ensures that the best bike wins on the day, it is all set down by DOCNSW whereby points are scored for each category of your bike - ie mileage, bodywork, wiring, etc etc ...

and I'll be judging  [evil]  [laugh]

How many points will i get for a carbon accessories and imports sticker and associated bling  on my bike [evil]. ;D

And were do i send the inducements

Well Robs I will have new mods to oohhh did I say that out loud

many many points  [evil] ;D

So your saying that the wankers that trailer their 0 milage bikes get the pick?

Ahmmm! did I miss something  ???.

P.S> Was that you at the Manheim Fowles Auction the other week?

In the judging criteria's defence, you get bonus points for Kilometres travelled [rules here http://www.ducatispot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17333 (http://www.ducatispot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17333)] Just don't.have.a.dirty.chain - OK Jukie (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=10829.30)?  [evil]


I have been a couple of times and it's awesome. Just every flavour of Ducati you *I* have ever wanted.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigeaux/sets/72157624751512250/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigeaux/sets/72157624751512250/)


edit: fixed spooky pussy cat links. fixed projection.

Note to self clean clean clean the chain

nope, opposite, less klms, less points for that category... last year an 02 999 with nearly 50'000klm on the clock won the 749/999 class, had a couple of tasteful mods, but you could eat your dinner off the engine,... everywhere i looked it was spotless, even inside the fairings.. and every cable tie was in place, and everything else was spot on.. he even rode it up from wollongong for the day.. and it beat a very very nice 05/06 999 with about 20k on the clock, not just for mileage, but everything about it.. there have been controversial judgings in the past, but they changed the rules for the belt drive bikes a couple of years ago to allow for tasteful mods by owners, as a lot of the newer bikes have a lot of plastic, unlike the old bikes which were metal and chrome etc... it is a very fair judging criteria...

Just checked out your link Craigo and there is some nice photo's of pussy there

I've been a few times myself but have never seen a Brio or a Cruiser.

  ;D

You have put my mind at ease. I feel confident now . [thumbsup]

Start Thread Jack!

When I was leaving I saw a famliar face and asked myself that famous question "Where the Faark do I know that guy from?" It dawned on me about 15mins later  [roll].
Yes, some of the sales were a joke. I was there checking out the MV's. I cant believe someone paid $10.5k for the F4  ??? you can get a schmik F4 1000 with bling for $16k.
I noticed the MV 910r Brute that sold for $7.5k was on ebay the next day and sold there a week later for $9.9k. There is either one born every minute or it was a "Vendor Bid" on ebay ???
The 1100s Hyper for $7500 was a decent buy.
 
End Thread Jack!

The 749/999 category was judged by me (Mike of Desmo Clinic) last year.  The judging criteria developed by DOCNSW Committee is quite clearly stacked in favour of the owner who rides and does the kilometers, but takes care of their bike.  The bikes are not penalised for tastful mods (belt drive) whereas the bevels are all about originality, again rewards the owner who does the km's and maintains and looks after their bike.  Where it gets murky with the bevels is a faithful restoration with few km's vs an original bike with high km's in well worn condition.  This is the judges dilema...

Sporting bevels is without doubt the toughest category to judge - very passionate and faithful owners...

Yea saw the yellow 749 on fleabay and checked the sellers other items and low & behold half the auctions bikes were for sale. I was interested in the Mvs too but when I checked out the bikes I saw the forks were rusty which would make the bikes unfeasable for the cost they sold for. Any way found a top bike so forget the write offs.

i must have done the year before then?? my memory is worse than i thought..
