Ducati Monster Forum

It's a little late in the year but I thought after a long cold winter we might resuscitate this for spring 2010.
Should we still go to Bar Italia, someone with unregistered bikes suggested once a place further up the road.
Don't know it's name but I know it used to be a servo, parking is much easier.

There was also suggestion that we go to Road Warriors who know run a pizza oven but I think they usually close about 8pm
which has been our normal meeting time.

So who's up for a gathering next week?

Ive got a cafe/cake store in Concord, all are welcome.

I ve dropped my bike at Desmo Clinic today so should be this time next week when i get it back... keen for a meet and greet!

Further up the road on Norton St? I know the place,sadly not the name but we did go there once when we were known as DML I think we did a close to christmas party, gotta be 3 years back.

I'd be interested  [thumbsup]



                   Mmick

Google maps says it's Cafe Gioia, I'll drive by tomorrow to confirm.

Yeah Gioa is the large place with the car park (converted petrol station), next to the church

Yep thats the one (brain cells lurch into action) so is it on this Thursday (9th) or what?







                                 Mmick

Yep, updated in the topic now.

I'll go along for a sticky beak  :)

Sounds good.........Hey Mmick........shall i bring some Nescafe ..?   that is your favourite isn't it..?       [coffee]

I thought it was international roast.  I'm in!

Just a bit of info on this one ... Cafe Mount White is open for pizza on Friday and Saturday nights. The Boss was talking to the girls there a couple of weeks ago and they do the pizza thing from 6-8pm .... but they said if people are there they will stay open beyond that. Also helps if they know people are coming. Apparently they have people (bikers) bringing their families along to see where they 'hang out'. They are waiting to see how things go as to what hours they will run through summer.

There is obviously an argument for leaving this until daylight savings ... to enjoy the road ... and as it stands we wouldn't be able to make it a Thursday night.

So maybe once daylight savings kicks in we could take another look at this one ... Friday evening Pacific Highway traffic is fun for no-one, so maybe a Saturday twilight ride ... bring the family - what do you think?

That's the one. I'll be there.

Mmick, yes that's the place we went to with the WA boys. Was that really 3 years ago ???!!!

a cafe/cake store you say ????? more info required....

Thanks Betty, I know there is a rather large of riders that go up there on a Thursday night every few weeks or so.
But then they also travel in groups of 40-50 + sometimes close to double that.
So I'm guessing they stay open for the business, not sure if they stay open for 10 people though.

I'd say yes that might be a case for daylight savings and maybe a Saturday.

So should I make a booking if they take them for maybe 8-10 people?

Thanks Cakeman that's a generouse offer. :D
But 10 or monsters en mass might scare of your regular customers.
And if Jukie shows up that will realy lower the standard of the place.  :-* (I will pay for that remark) [cheeky]

Oh did you say cakes [drool] whats on the menu [coffee]

Well the offer is always there :)

Mentioned it to a mate of mine, apparently he meet up with you guys the last couple of years. He has a S4 and is very very English. He remembers MattyVas bike and talk about it often! So he is keen to come down to as well.

Oooh!  You're brave, Rob. or is that stupid?

Hmmm, who is that then?
Sorry I breezed right past your offer Cakeman, I'm sure you'll have a visit from us.
You haven't heard the story about the scary Ducati bike riders and there scones & baby cino's  :-[

and there are photos to prove it....

....omerta...

Of course  :-X

English fella named Nick, good bloke about 35 odd. Black S4. Top of the morning to you guvna

Hey Cakeman - howz about a name and address of your establishment - the coffee rating and evaluation committee is on its way...

be afraid, very afraid  [evil]

OOOhhh Robs you are looking for a whipping from me [evil] [evil]

It would be my pleaseure :)

Del Mondo Pastries
83 Majors Bay Rd
Concord

open 7 days, 7am-10pm



Cakes, coffee, gelato etc all made on site.

We are very Ducati friendly..... we dont care to much for those Jap bikes though!  ;D

Oohh cakeman you have won my vote. Hmm when we are down that way we will pop in

All sorts of large small, wedding, novelty etc cakes :)

(http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww283/alosurdo/DelMondo.jpg)

[thumbsup] Cakeman, how long have you owned the business? I used to go there a bit when I lived at Canada Bay.. you're a couple of doors up from the coffee bean shop, yeah?

Will make sure we say g'day when next stopping in.

Yep thats the one. Ive been there for about 3 years. Look for the bald guys :)

Is this it ?

Yep thats it with the Al fresco area. Old photo though

Tossing up between riding there on my wonderful monster, or driving in the car with Perry (my husband, who doesn't ride...)

Now I know my motorbike is the other man.

Okay so where are we going then on Thursday night? Are we going to Del Mondo for sweets.
Or are people thinking of dinner also in which case we'd go to Cafe Gioia

In the past we have arrived around 8pm and those that wish to eat do and those that are out for sweets and coffee have that.

If the rain does spoil things then I guess we'll hold it over for next week.

So what's say you?

A meal would be good, i rekon until we do dinner lets hit Gioia.

sounds good to me

I think (badly at times) we ought to do Gioia, unless the weather turns bad then let it go for a week







                              Mmick

So... do we have to take a number, form a queue, ring you? Robs whats the G O





                             Mmick

i get you Mmick just when you not ready for it, so watch out

I think I'm second in line after Dez so that makes you third if you push the right buttons [laugh]
I'm not quite sure were Dragon fits in he might go strait to the top of the Que [cheeky]

i have already sorted Dragon and Vossy out, now you guys will have to be on alert all the time when I'm about  [evil] [evil] [evil]

Do you think that your relationship is strong enough for Perry to meet this mob? [roll] [cheeky] [laugh]

     IE, Jukie [laugh] ;D

whats wrong with me I'm friendly [laugh] [laugh]

When you say 'be on alert' you mean like stand to attention??

So who's coming tomorrow night then?
What time do you want to get there or should we just keep it for 8pm as previous.

Im going to do my best to come along. Had a tooth extracted and am a little under the weather, though i did get my bike back from Mike @ Desmo and the pain went away while i was riding :)

I'll be there, with he wot puts up with me.

We might be a little early, as he gets whingey when he's hungry.

Oh, where exactly are we going?

This is the chosen place (http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Cafe+Gioia,+Leichhardt,+New+South+Wales&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=41.226783,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=Cafe+Gioia,&hnear=Leichhardt+New+South+Wales&ll=-33.882316,151.156855&spn=0.009406,0.01929&z=16&iwloc=A) 8pm or earlier if you like.

Just keep a look out for the rain, cause you know we can't go out the door with Ducati's if there are clouds about.
We all learnt that from Sugar Monster, Big T.

So, it's raining right now, but who knows come 8pm.....

who's in ?

We're gonna try and make it. But we are about to go offline for a while.

Planning on popping over to at least say g'day.
Will depend on how quickly I'm getting through this back log of work  :(

Yeah why not.
I'll be along rain in car, no rain on bike.

Next week folks, dam rain spoils everything.
 

Hey at least someone made it ... thanks Suzy. Nice to meet Perry. Sorry we were a bit late.

Nice to have a place with parking ... food wasn't bad either (but I'm no foodie).

It was nice to be able to talk about people without them being there to defend themselves :)

Sorry guys.. Thought we'd all pulled out.. Monstrous Interruptus style.
On the plus side, it would have been a nice dinner for the four of you.

 :( Matty and I went soft due to the rain and bailed out. Sorry guys, I knew Wells' number and Matty was gonna try Suzy...

I thought Betty & Jukie wouldn't be coming. Hope you guys had fun though!  :)

Hey hey...
I'm a no go for tonight (Damn Stupid Kulcha (http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/whatson/Sutra.aspx))  Weather should be nice tonight so no soft outs ;)
Keen for next week!

is norton street on tonight.....?   hmmmm.....?

We on for this week!? (23rd Sept)

I'll be along if there'll be others turning up.

This Thursday night you say......?.......am free..........Mmick........if you read this, why don't you pop along and shout me that coffee that you promised me on Sunday.........

yep tomorrow.

I'll try to make it after the kids are in bed. I've been doing some long hours lately which may also stop me.. Just count me as a maybe at this stage.

will be there. Bar Italia ?

Whichever place.
Bar Italia or Cafe Gioia

id really love to come, but got frustrated with the bike again and dropped it off at DesmoClinic a few hours ago, hopefully next week

you are allowed to turn up sans bike! better with, but anyway you get there...  [thumbsup]

Agreed! Come on down Cakeman!


Gioia @ 7:30PM.
I'll be eating.

I'll be there around 7:30. Cafe Gioia it is.

anyone tonite, 30.09?

Gioia @ 7:30PM?

Not sure waiting to hear on another meeting.

Just heard.
I can come along if there'll be people there.

i can be @ bar italia or wherever you lot choose @ 8pm ...... any takers?

no can do tonight

Am i allowed to come there on my combine harvester (Harley)  ???????..........picking it up after its service.....  I promise to keep a low profile and wear Ducati gear     :)

Cause you can, you'll just have to buy dinner for all of us  [cheeky]
Cafe Gioia further up from Bar Italia better parking. On the other side of the road.

what time guys?

It's all in there but anytime from 7:30 and you should find people there.

Yup Yup.. Will be there after 7:30 at this rate... Before 8:30 I'd hope though.

(grumble grumble work grumble)

today is warm and dry ..... anyone feels like pasta for dinner?

Workin' workin' workin'  [bang]

On the road again - just purchased a Monster s2r 800 '07 - just in time for some warm days on the tarmac.

This time I'm keen to meet up with other Duc riders - Is the Bar Italia a sure thing on Thurs nights? - I'd be keen to meet up with a few of you guys, talk bling n organise rides.

Nugget Head  :D

Hey Nuggethead

We have migrated up the road to Cafe Gioia
Parking is far easier and the food is also better.
Keep your eye on this thread and you'll see who is going along on a Thursday.

I'd be happy to come along and hear about moto gp trip

Who's been to Moto GP?

I'll be in Melb at the end of this week so no Thursday night for me. It's a shame cause I'd like to show off the new mods to see what other like minded souls think......

Will ya be around next week?  I'd very much like to have a look.

Hard to say definitely at this stage (due to uncertainty in family commitments).... will know more early next week. will let you know... I'm also keen to see what you think, being a fellow SBK front end convert...

Debatable on the food, as there are no arrancini in sight at Gioa...  :'(

And what was wrong with parking @ Bar Italia? Ample space >10 feet from the table was not good enough?

I reckon we should hit up Concord to go and hang out with Cakeman.... maybe next week? (I'm tied up this week)

Me and Betty might turn up, we will be home later today

So is anybody confirmed for tonight? Is it worth us making the trip down?

I shall be dining @ Bar Itali around 7.30....but I don't suppose its good enough reason

As we will be catching up tomorrow you may be right. See you in the morning.

Any plans for tomorrow night?

We are currenlty weighing up our options.

last week i was @ Bar Italia with NuggetHead .... no one else showed up. i'm happy to have pasta tomorrow

Anyone else coming. Come on you wog boys get out and about

I be swinging past around 8:15 if it isn't raining (which I don't think it will be based on the BOM). 

Me and mark are pulling out sorry guys

likewise. seems like too much hard work every week

So daylight savings is here and it seems Thursday nights have become a bit dismal attendance-wise ... any interest in a trip up to Mount White for a pizza?

How about Saturday 20th November? Gives us a couple of weeks ... may avoid pre-Christmas craziness.

Bump, so what no body wants to have pizza [bacon]

How about Saturday 20th November? Gives us a couple of weeks ... may avoid pre-Christmas craziness

I'm up for it, as long as the pizza is good.

Sounds good. Count me in. I'll pillion the other half up as well.

To Jukie and "wife"...... ;D    Nov 20th sounds good this end........does anybody around beecroft want to keep me company heading up there...?    How about you Two Dogs...??????........

Also........anybody having a coffee Thurs night..?

Hey guys.
I'm out of town this week, so no coffee for me  :(

unfortunately, can't do the 20th either, but great idea.

Anyone going tonight?

or should i crack open this bottle of wine, get down to my undies and watch the golf highlights while the misses is out?

To much information  [puke] [puke] [puke] [laugh] [laugh]

Yeah people have been warned before about tallking golf on the forum :-X

Hey Cakeman/Andrew.........nice coffee btw mate, i was working around the corner at Breakfast Creek so i would pop into your shop for coffee. Only one complaint, you put those bloody cakes right below where i need to stand to get my coffee. But, alas, temptatiion never got the better of me,......sooooooo.......being a self professed sausage roll addict i opted for those. Gluten free, low fat, low gi level etc etc are they...?????  Oh yes.....you were looking for Rearsets if i remember right..?  Am picking up a set of Metaltech's from Michael (carbon imports) on the weekend so i can show them to you one day if you like, but will expect in return a 10% "Monster"discount on my coffee......... ;D

Hey Brian, glad you liked it! Yes everything is 100% no fat :) Anyone to comes in with any Duke always gets a disount when im there :)
Would be keen to have a look at those rear sets... Its my 30th in a couple of weeks so a set are at the top of the list, thinking the Rizomas)

I was looking at Rizomas too, till i saw these in the flesh......check them out before you sign your life away.........

Hey Andrew, its my birthday in a couple of weeks too, I would love a set of Rizoma's if you're buyin  [cheeky]






                                            Mmick

How old are you turning Mick? 54 ish??? I thought a Harley would have been a more appropriate present! :)

Ohhhhh sooo cheeky, and i havent even met you yet ;)

Is someone having yet another shot about combine harvesters in here...??...hmmm..?  [evil]

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/RubyNonnasBirthday016.jpg)

Sawright  ;D




                                        Mmick

On or Off tonight?

At 9pm......i would say,...possibly........that ........it may be off tonight Andrew......what,...no golf to watch in ya undies..???????     ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry mate, didn't get a chance to get on here yesterday arvo.

With a bit of notice anyone wanna come out Thursday coming 16th?
We haven't really got out much this year on a Thursday so maybe a last chance before Xmas.

        [thumbsup] [clap] [coffee] [thumbsup]

Hmm waiting on a shift change for this day so I let you know earlier next week ok. I hope it's all go and I'll be down there in my Santa little helper suit

Anyone else around Sydney interested this Thuurs..?   Wellsy, Cakeman etc etc.........??   hhmmmm..?

Fair chance I could get along for a bit.. Won't know for sure until Thursday.

I'm a maybe if Brian behaves himself  ;D
What about Rob S ?
 How about you blow the cobwebs of the old girl and saddle up  ;D

Is he back from the map-o-tassie? (Rob S)

I'm Back :'(

Put me down for a may be if there no rain.

Dez, you just want show off your CHEAP carbon guard........ [evil]

Could be a goer for me. As always, need to sort out some stuff at work but looking good.... Missus overseas CHECK, Sort work stuff out... well halfway there!

Only half way you say  Andrew..........90% i would say........done and dusted more like it....... [thumbsup]

So looks like I will be coming for my first Thursday night whatsamacall'it........ with RobS riding shotgun  [clap]
thats if it is a no rain.
Mrs Dogs cant make it  :'(
Which cafe is it ?

OK the Boss has just let me know that she has successfully negotiated her shift swap ... so we'll be there.

She said its time to get the party started!

Hi Monsters,

I'll be down/up for a chat Thurs if others are gonna be about.

The Nugget.

Yeah, I can make this Thursday.

big

Coolio - what time do most turn up?

8pm onwards and lets just go to Bar Italia cause that's where we have mostly gone in the past.
 

Noice one - see you there guys/gals.

Nugget.

The Boss has got me working again. So far we have, for 8pm @ Bar Italia tomorrow:

Matty
Brian
Jukie
Betty
Wells (TBC tomorrow)
2 Dogs
Rob
Cakeman (halfway 90% there)
Nugget
Big
Andy (heard rumours)

I hope were on the same page with outfit  [evil] ;D and being dressed decent

Yeah and you are all going to enjoy endure the company of the three wise men Stooges Brian,Dez and me Larry Curly and Mo [laugh]


Please don't rain [bow_down]

Now the bike is up and running  I best come along for a drink.  :)

 

So Santa's little helper will be dressed for the occasion   :o

Now before anyone starts to pike [roll] out I went to alot of effort to get my shift swap so you all better show up. You all have cars so use them, and you just never know you all might get your Xmas wish.   :P :-* ;D [thumbsup]

Hey Matty are you bringing your imaginary friend with you. It been a while since i'v seem him ;D

I spoke to my imaginary friend last night as I swapped my phone from ear to ear.
There is the chance he may well make an appearance.

whoooo hoooo yes yes yes

No I don't!

But I'll be there anyway - wet, dry, hot, cold, whatever... It's only weather.

big

Probably aimed at those already starting to make excuses.

Regardless of mode of transport ... would we consider relocating up the road if need be ... or are we happy with soggy arancini?

Yo all - I think it may be a case of the dogs bark is worse than its bite - lots of thunder about on the Northern beaches but I think it will clear. I'm still good to go.

Nugget.

I've just driven home from St Ives and the threatening clouds produced masses of rain but it now all looks like it's blown away.
There's still a few good hours until we head out anyways.

Pouring at Brookvale but sun was out and shining by the time I got to Pyrmont - cracker of an afternoon to be honest.
Should be an okay night.

We had biblically epic thunder, lighting and even small hail here in Mona Vale an hour ago, but the sun's out now...

See you all around 8!

big

Just checked the weather radar  [puke]
Another front moving through , expected to hit as Rob and I planed to leave.
If it passes quickly we will go but I don't have wet weather gear neither does Rob
There is a leg of Lamb in the oven and a home made pavlova on the bench
No contest really.
Did I mention hail ! yuk

all good here so i just about to head down now, see ya with bells on

    :'(  :'( wish I could go.

     Damn work  [bang]  [bang]





                        Mmick (Merry Christmas Everyone) [drink]

Im on my way over  [wine]

My pocket weather must lie then cause it shows most storms have past through.
Hope I don't get too wet, I'll melt you know.

Alright - on track to be there after 8 but before 9! WOOOHOO!

Since we're doing weather reports, from the office I see:
. cloud (but not nasty) to the north
. blue skies above
. the sun brightly glowing over Leichhardt way
. clear skies growing from the south

... although not visible from here I believe there are two soft DOMs on the northern beaches.

Should add that unless the Boss is here soon, we will be late.

I would like to formally retract the above.

... but perhaps it served as motivation [cheeky] well done guys [clap]

Thanks to everyone who turned up (and it was quite a turnout). Perhaps this should be the format for 2011 ... every week seems to be too much of a commitment. But every month (or maybe two) could see reasonable numbers.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks heaps guys for showing up it was a awesome night and im sure Matty has some pics to prove it  :o

Twas a nice night and many thanks to that wonderful (what a guy) Dez for his " peace offering" slice of pavlova. The snake bite has subsided btw and my specialist sais i should make a complete recovery... [thumbsup]   And to all concerned, Brian W actually put his bike away last night without cleaning it so the therapy sessions must be working.... ;D  On a slightly more serious note, it was a nice relaxing night with good company, catch you all soon.
Brian

What the hell?!?!?!? Is this some sort of a joke or are you taking your medication again?  ;D

Oh yes......and till Matty uploads his pics, this sole one i have will put a face to the name most know as "Nuggethead" (Iain).....
(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/BarItalia003.jpg)
Plus Rob (nice to see you back again) and Vince in the foreground (for those who don't know them).

see you cant even see Vince's face hmmm Matty imaginary friend pop up when your expecting him too :o

Hay nugget nice to finally meet you , your bike seems quick  [thumbsup]
And I have to admit I actually like the sound of those stock pipes they had a nice whistle to them
and wouldn't make your ears bleed like mine.

Great turn out and a great night. Really enjoyed catching up with everyone last night.  [thumbsup]


Strangely, I think this ends up happening pretty naturally.. For some reason everyone seems busy on the same weeks.

What do people reckon? Formalise it or leave it ad hoc?


oh.. and Merry Christmas all!

I'd say ad hoc as soon as we try to formalize it people will get scared and it will become difficult. It's easier to just post up each week if you can make it..
Out working so I'll post some pics over the next day or so.

Thank you Betty [bow_down]
But i would say the Two so called soft DOM
Are possibly Older and wiser DOM than most of the other DMF'ers and not soft. may be stupid
And are reluctant to stray from the safety of the "Northern Beaches" if the weather is either to hot or to cold,raining or going to rain. the traffic is to heavy, the road is going to rough, the music is to loud , the coffee is crap etc etc.

Oh and the company we keep, an exception was made last night ;D [laugh] [laugh]


Was a great night
Thank's for the prezzies Jukie ,and the extra effort as always to make sure every one has a good time.
I just hope no incriminating photos arise :-X [laugh]

And i am now suffering long term Anxiety from seeing Brian's immaculate bike [thumbsup]
Never mind Brian about not cleaning the bike last night i never put mine away last night either the must have been something in the coffee. ???

And Two Dogs your [evil] pasted that M3 Beemer on the way back. [thumbsup]


 

Look we even had branding for the night!

I have another bike portrait planned for tonight so i can't get there.
If that falls through due to weather I'll be there.

Tonight...as in the 13th Jan.?

Don't *think* I can make it at this stage.. Have a great night though guys... Don't forget, no photos means it didn't happen.

arrgh! that be it!

Anyone coming this week? 20th.
Maybe the peoples who are venturing out for the little trip next week might wanna come along just so we can talk it up and make other jealous beforehand.
Then of course do it again upon returning to twist the grip further.  ;D ;D

No one biting M.V.  ?

Nup, wrong bait.....

Pretty sure I'll be there!  [thumbsup]

I'll be there

Lets hope the rain doesn't blow in..  :P :P
See some of you folks tomorrow night then.

Just hope that Dez doesn't show........ [laugh]

 Will be there  :)
weather depedant :'(
 
Dam i will miss out on Oprah 7.30 tonight  :'(

I can record it for you Rob.
You won't miss out on your Ah-Ha moment.....

It's not gonna rain. BOM looks fine - I'm taking the White One (http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigeaux/4693581682/#) out and it's all nice and clean. Cya there about 7:30

Sounds good to me.

Would have been good to catch up but seeing that I was at a meeting, I have missed this one.  [coffee] mmm coffee (and cake too)

Goldy... In regards to the "Save the ring campaign" (http://forum.nurburgring.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=696&t=44354)
AUSRINGERS seems to be filled with doom and gloom info. (http://www.ausringers.com/)
Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Yer Dez That thought did cross my mind as well ;D

Oh and and note to self if Brian is attending any future event bring wet weather gear.
Literally pissed down going home over the Harbour bridge, near f--king suicidal at night in the traffic :'(

Excellent turn out of people last night.
Must remember not to be the ham in front of Brians eye-phone.

You been pumping iron Matty ?

one of your guns are showing  [cheeky]

Hey and what's with the outcast?

All shadows and light magic.....

Bit quiet ! any interest ?
I am probably out unless I ride the baby monster as the S2R is sick [thumbsdown]

Not tonight got a few other things on this afternoon leading into the evening.
Also once Brian W "the Nors God of Rain" spoke guess what happened.

Yeah, no go for me tonight either.
The boss has designs on my time this evening.

Nah Im out going to go for a mountain bike ride with my other mates instead
And with
 "Freyr" aka The Norse God of Rain
 aka Teff
 aka Brian
 even though BOM is
saying rain is finished well you know........................

Okay so let's get a run on next week then, if we start now 3 or more us might come out  [cheeky]

Hi All

Hey I am back in AUS on Thursday 24th March and would be great to catch up with you all at this Thursday night haunt.

Sssoooooo I shall be there (bike-less I'm afraid) and would be good to see whoever can make it.

I "need" to see a Duke..... Only seen two fleetingly glimpses since arriving 10 months ago.

Big (Travelling) T

Hey big fella, its a date (of sorts) look forward to catching up with you.









                                            Mmick

Well it's a date for sure, I am sure that with this much notice we can get at least 20 of us there so you can see as many of the boys & girls along with bikes as possible.

 Can't wait for my present. :D

Fantastic I love coffee and as I am not working tomorrow and have a motorcycle

just hope Frey aka Norse god of rain stays away..............Brian please have a stern talk to your alter ego

Yeh lets hope the heavens don't open. I'll be out tomorrow.

So we're on Rain, Hail or Shine?

Ill try to make it this week, though not on bike - new tyres are not yet installed after the Oxley and I'm not game!

 [coffee] [popcorn] ???

Ok guys Betty jukie and Andy55 will be there at 8

The rain god strikes again.
Brian rolls his bike out of the garage.
A butterfly in Norway flaps it's wings a garden gnome in the Scottish Isles falls over and suddenly a rain cloud appear over Mona Vale.

A talented man indeed!

Might be a good night for a chook chase   [moto]

And it wern't no rain cloud more like cyclone Yasi. :o :o :o
Far out never ridden in anything like it inches of water all over the road an very little if any visibilaty.
+1 on the pilot road rear and pure front for riding  at 90klm on flooded roads.  [moto]

   I'm out tonight, see you's there.

Unidentified flying Matty spotted along the OPH just outside Cowan heading north. Tailed by an MV Agusta and me...........in my lycra bandit outfit pedalling like a bustid.

Don't blame you for not slowing down.
Have fun tonight

As allways protecting my back when BrianTeff is on the loose :-*

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/005-9.jpg)

What's with the ah-the hog thing in the photo Brian, i know you're not having second thoughts.

Now this photo is for Teff aka Brian
It is my gloves on the line which are very WET
Now as Brian as indicated by his photo was enjoying central coast sunshine
Rob and I who were on our way to meet Teff and MV endured Cyclone Brian
on Mona Vale road so I arranged the glove in an appropriate gesticulation
while thinking of Sir Teff .
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff57/ohana181/photo-7.jpg)

I have been feeling sorry for Brian lately, all the remarks
about Brian being the rain master & all that.

After Thursday night Not any more, I now have also been struck by Brian
or should that be B RAIN _{(& not the one in yor head)}
(http://www.science.org.au/primaryconnections/curriculum-resources/resource-sheets/weather/rain-icon.jpg)

While  on the subject, rain (& now I know how to post pics)
Brain ever thought about these
for the MV, Monster even the other bike
(http://www.mandp.co.uk/netalogue/content/images/medium/GNNRAPRAA.jpg)

Refresh my memory if I am incorrect but has Brain Teffalon ever started a ride thread ???
Maybe its your turn ?
While I am ahem  ;D  not too busy with work at the moment maybe a mid week madness may be in order Brian old mate  [thumbsup]............................................waiting....................waiting............chirp chirp.............................my gear has dried out so ready when you are .
Any meteorologists willing to put themselves on the line when Brian MV picks a date  [cheeky].

I wonder who that could be???...   weather half decent I'll be right for Thursday night  [coffee] [coffee] rides

Yup.. up for a meet up v soon... It's definitely about time.

First clear Thursday by the sounds of things.

Thursday night you say, hmmmmm. I'll have to check my diary.......
I could fit it in but I might have to miss my new found enjoyment [cheeky]

You riding with Greg regularly now Matty? We'll see you in a Sydneys Crashers shirt or hoody soon enough  :o

Looks like you've had enough Red Bull already Teff.  ;D

Teff, the gelato was for the bronster, the arancini for me!

And if we're joining up for the Thurs rides, I better go out and get me some new riding sneakers!

I can't bring myself to install these things on the monster........well, not yet anyway!

Yes you can.  ;)

How about you mofos go RIDING these hot pregnant doges. Bylong is calling me. Call me. Lets do it biyatches!

On a Thursday night?

.. So are we on for tonight!?

Bar Italia or the Sydneys Riders run?
(I'm happy for either... the Sydneys Riders run for tonight goes past my house, so I'd meet you guys at Harry's)

I'm thinking it might be a wee bit damp tonight. Some (or one) can a test my bikes wet weather hiccup. 

Road Damp or Rain Damp?
I thought it was looking kinda nice... 14deg is one of the warmer evening we've had in a while too!
http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/sydney/sydney (http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/sydney/sydney)

Road damp out near my place.
Go no bike at home either so it's a pass for me tonight.

k.. next week will be my last outing for a bit (off to visit teff's friend in Germany).. so hoping to catch up with peeps when we can!

Teff you don't need practice of making as arse of your self [roll]

No secrets, just got a little water logged on Monday when Goldie needed a ride.....
So we went out for some practice in the water and she quite at Bald Hill, so I rang
1800 rescue And it's tucked away in care drying out at the moment.

Doesn't sound fun with your grips, seeming as I just asked the heated grip master for help!
I'm sure it can be sorted.

You need one of these

Yep  ;)
But that was floating as much as swimming....

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

Brian, you're too kind to the boys, you failed to mention the cup of horlicks and snuggies at 8pm as well..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeved_blanket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeved_blanket)

Wow............... Brian can really pull a crowd  ;D

Quality not quantity was the theme of the night [Dolph] [Dolph]

when's the next one :)?  [coffee]

Dunno, we haven't been out for ages. People have been wrapped up in there ugg boots and blankets.

Yeah lets do it, ya comin' Max

Hey Stu good to have you back with us

Haha.. good suggestion Brian.. I'm tied up this coming Thursday but could do the 25th Aug. The minister is suggesting the 1st as a better option to fit in with her Uni requirements.

thanks :D

I see you have a beautiful new bike, hope you're enjoying it!!

I'll be 'officially' back once I have picked up another duc! But will still drive out to whereever the socials are :)

I should be there  [thumbsup]


Hey Brian you need to get the rodent situation under control their nesting on your MV  [thumbsup]

Don't those fluffy dogs with the bobbing heads usually go on the back window of a car  [laugh]

Just realized kiddies that I am collecting a friend from the airport this week, thought it was next week.
So I won't be along this week the 18th but next week will be fine as will the week after unless something on the work horizon happens.

.. Might just be the way I've read it... but I *think* we're planning for the 1st?

Yep and probably next week too.

 depending on how late my work day goes, you may be graced with my presence.... ;)

is that for tonight?

what time?

Typ 8pm

Yep, I'll be along next week.
The 1st I'll be in the snow along with Goldie and Dock. So sorry Max won't be there for the big one.

Hey guys
glad to see this thread! i've been part of sydneys riders since 07 but only been on 2 rides.
i'm hoping to get out there again soon, gotta get rego.
i'm usually on ducatimonster.org
ill stick with this one from now on.

before rego I need to go to an auto electrician. Abbot on norton st i heard are too expensive so i was recommended one in annandale on albion st. Anyone been there or can recommend another?
the clip and wires which clip into my headlight globe have fizzed away a little and as a result my standard light doesn't work. the odd thing is that my high beam is fine.

any help greatly appreciated
thanks
Dom

thanks Brian!

Must have been something in air over the weekend, sick in bed all week. Overdosed with the
cold tablets last night.  Much better today & wouldn't miss a night out with the OZmo crowd
with a little thing like the flu...
See you tonight Max [thumbsup]

I'm glad you people can get over your bug's so quickly!
Doesn't seem to matter what I throw at mine nothing works.... [puke]
Have a good night folks.

Reserve a spot for me ;D

Oh Teff did that Hemorrhoid cream i recommended clear up you problem :-X

Who's on for this Thursday for the "get better Teff" edition of the Thursday Night Social?
7:30PM - Bar Italia (169/171 Norton Street, Leichhardt NSW 2040)

 [thumbsup]

You will have to go and pick up the Teff and cupcake him to bar italia :-*
As the Monster is in quarantine for the concourse, and the widow maker will be still  in the work shop. [laugh] [laugh]

Yep I think I'll be along.

Spoke to The Teff today - he'll be along. It's his night after all.  [thumbsup]

.. still waiting for some confrimation from the Nth Beaches chapter.  [coffee]

Two Thursday nights in a row plus sunday's outing With the Teff, fairdinkum i don't like him that much [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] :-*

 I will not be coming to celebrate Teff's little sympathy crash party   [laugh]
Please try and refrain from too much public man love Rob and Teff   :-*  [puke]

Especially for this one. Sorry we missed it - glad you all had a good time despite the near death illnesses.

Heading to the Dendy at Opera Quays next Thursday (22nd Sep) to watch the TT3d Movie @1830...
Suggest a meet up at the Opera Bar afterwards (lower concourse at the Opera House) afterwards (say 20:30?) if anyone's keen.

yep im in ...i just grabbed 3 tickets ....so i have two spare at $16 ......let me know i anyone has interest ......regards Hambo

Paul [thumbsup]

If the two spare tickets are still available Steve, please disregard my request

I'm after two; one for me and one for cupcake.

Anyone?

you win suzy......give them to you on the nite....and good news they were only 12 each.........paul ...sorry about that mate

Awesome.  And Thanks heaps Paul.  You rock.

So is anyone feeling like heading to Norton street this week.
It appears that is might and I say might not be raining this week.
After all I finally decided that I'd make it look like the S4Rs has an owner and gave it a bubble bath!

We're busy this Thursday but will keep an eye on what's going on... might make a cameo appearance towards the end.

Only if discusions are motorcycle related   [coffee]   [thumbsup]

I love the title of this thread ... 2010 Social Nights - a bit late.

Too-bloody-right ... it'll be 2012 soon [cheeky] [laugh]

Yeah I think we kind of missed 2011 some how.
Maybe in 2012 we might start a new thread with an up to timing etc.

So I guess with only one other taker we might wait until we can get a bit of a crowd and all watch Betty eat ice cream again.  [cheeky]

How about THIS Thursday? (Weather Permitting)
Looking forward to hearing some of the war stories from down south.

Busy this week.

Please let me know the details of this pie/pizza eating gathering...
I live very close. If you're nice I could even help with parking.
Cheers

It is bar italia Norton Street Leichhardt next to civic video about 8:00pm and leave whenever you like

Ok thanks
I'm not available Thu night until the 17 or 24th Nov but I'll walk over to see any bikes parked out front.
So if anyone wants some gelato out of a plastic cup in mid Nov then good.
Cheers
Garth

So does anyone feel like a coffee cannoli tomorrow night?
I know at least one person who said they'd come out.

No go for me this week unfortunately.
Was considering inviting everyone to go and see "Fastest" next Thursday @ 2115 @ Entertainment Quarter (Moore Park).

----------------------
I'm getting the pan handling started early in the month and asking you to support the cause by heading to my Movember Site (CLICKITY) (http://mobro.co/maxchobbs) and making a donation (as big or as small as you like). Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible!

I've got a gallery opening to go to where a friend's exhibiting, but I could probably be in Leichhardt by 8-ish...

big

So there's one.
Max says, he can't be there but has asked everyone on a date next week.
So do your hair and have your nails done!

Busy week for me this week.
Working and moving, man space is on the way!

+1 for some gelato and coffee, I'll bring the chicken strips

I was told from a reliable source this afternoon who would like to remain anonamous Brian
that MV is planning a donut and burnout garage party at his new digs fully catered with wog food and a keg
fantastic way to bed in that shiny new concrete
roll call
Andrea
RobS
add name here
 ;D

You might need to let me upset the new neighbors before I invite another dozen around to say hello.

MV gotta be the best way to introduce yourself 
twenty monster riders on the terps  [drink] doing donuts  [laugh]
What could go wrong  [laugh]

Sorry to disappoint mate, but I'm tied up this Thursday night.  :'(

I'd like to tag along for one of these Norton Street social gatherings since i'm just down the road.  ;D, Got uni Thursday nights for the next few weeks  [bang] so might be along after that [thumbsup] [thumbsup].

Geez Brian, it didn't take long for that idea to go down the drain.........  Seems to be a common theme for you in the last week.......... Might like this damn stuck full stop key on my iPad...........

  ;D

Indeed my friend, indeed. Given the turnout, I think we can organise a special tour of the south...

I'll pm you....

 [clap]

I cant wait to come out with you all! I cored my cans so im waiting to get them welded back together again. For a 600 it sounds pretty darn mean.

Whats the usual story for a thurs night? do you all meet at bar italia and all ride somewhere? Do you ever join Sydneys Riders over in five dock for a group ride? last time i went with them there were only 3 monsters out of 40 odd bikes.

Thursday nights at Bar Italia is not a regular/weekly event more adhoc.
No rides, just a meet and eat /coffee and a chat for a few hours.
Watch the thread for updates when some one  calls an evening and see if any interest.
Some times we get a good turn out. :D
May be due for a Christmas meet soon. ;)

As for the Sydney Night riders, Dmf Monster owners are a refined bunch and generally don't ride with Riff Raff  ;) ;D

'Cos our Monster lights are shite  ;D






                                       Mmick

We on this Thursday?

Sorry people busy Thursday.
Tis the season and'all

If its not raining I'll be there, cos I've still got that clutch cover that 'Big' needs to pick up.








                                       Mmick

Cool that sounds good to me!
I hate riding new roads at night in big groups.
see you in a few weeks.

by the way
someone mentioned irena for leather repairs in surry hills.
shes great! she mended my tank cover for free! well in exchange of a [coffee]

I cannot say it will because I have'nt tried to fit it yet, but AFAIK it should.








                                           Mmick

It's looking likely to be pretty wet at the moment. Will wait and see!

Look, it has not stopped raining here since 7:00 this morning, so I will have to pass on the coffee Brian, if you want you can by me a nice cup of cha on our ride on the 4th Dec.

    As I was saying, to bloody wet at the moment, and the alarm keeps turning itself on, on the bike, maybe a bit of moisture has got in somewhere and created some sort of 'short', had to disconect the (hidden) siren because it would not stop going off, talk about loud, my son (who lives 2 doors up) came running down the street to see what all the fuss was about, and that was about 1:00am in the morning, so if you know anything about them let me know.

  Now, Brian, sorry but tonight is out, like I said before I got side tracked, you can buy me a coffee anytime mate.  [thumbsup]





                                      Mmick

FWIW, it looks like it's lightening up a bit here on the Northern Beaches...

I'll at least swing by Bar Italia on my way home to see if anyone else shows up...

big

Have you looked outside lately Brian??

   As we all know from our last ride together you tend to be a little shy of inclement weather, and it will not get any better soon.

      Anyway how will you get to Bar Italia, bikes will get wet and dirty.







                                           Mmick  :P

We should try and meet up soon. I wanna get a proper look of Mmick in his Santa suit :o [drool]

Yeah let's have a crack for Thursday. I do have another Xmas evening on but I'll do my best to make it to both places.

We will be there

Been a while , I may come too as I have that night off.

I'll dust of the duc if it isn't raining.

Cool it will be great too see all you guys

Do I have to wear a Santa suit??








                                  Mmick

Ohhh yes yes yes. You wear yours and I will wear mine ;)

Will it be a santa suit like this.... [drool]

(http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff386/lukecarrington/ChristmasSuit.jpg)

Hay Luke you sure your not related to Rob S ?.......... seems you have very similar tastes. [evil]

Well if you can find me one I might wear it for a short time

Not sure Mmick would fit into that.  [laugh]

Very good heather I will pay that one  [thumbsup]

All I can say is Rob S must have good taste but no relations ;D

Geeze Brian, It looks like I've lost some weight in that picture.

  Anyway, I will pop over to Bar Italia tonight, see you then.








                                      Mmick

Tonight it is :D

I think Betty might like that too Paul  [drool]

Now name the flavours

I have been known to sample ice cream on occasion.

Domsy

So now that's it's 2012 and summer is being so kind to us!

Does anyone wanna try to get a bit social?

Yes :-*

 [thumbsup] Would love to!

Are you guys talking about tomorrow?
Being Thursday 9th Feb.?
If so there may be some Coastie flavoured interest.

Maybe so, tomorrow 9th.
I hadn't really put a date on it I just thought I'd ask the question for all of us.
So yes if there are people who can make it out tomorrow night lets do it.

Ok I'm in. just not sure if Betty can make it until  late tomorrow [thumbsup]

Well why don't we go for next week cause the weather is still supposed to be tragic again tomorrow.

I won't be able to make it next week due to my shifts so let me know if anyone is going to turn up tomorrow

Well it looks like It will be a table for two tonight

Well it seems that we're popular ... there seemed to be 'some' interest until we said we could come - now there is no interest.

We don't need to travel to Leichhardt to see one another.

So nobody is interested for tonight?

Just popped on to see what the plan was... anyone know what's happening?
Are we on?

Anyone?

Still planning to go, Brian may even brave the weather..

Well it looks like we are back on.

The Boss will be leaving shortly ... see you there.

okies. will be down later... still going with work.
M

Sorry kids still going with work also , far far longer day than expected.  :P

Nice catch up guys.
Good to see you all!

Likewise.

Hope your trip home was as dry as ours.

Great to always catch up with the boys. Good to see everyone is well

Yeah mate, all good. Rain was gone pretty quickly.

Anyone dropping in this Thursday (16th) I have a certain bike (ST) to deliver to certain (BIG) blokes place for a certain overseas visitor (Desmoquattro) to use when he gets here this Sunday.

     Would just be more convenient for me.








                                                Mmick (stay away rain)

Ok guys I will make it to Leichhardt tomorrow. So if any of you guys that ordered oil filters from me can pick it up from me there

Ok, save me a seat people, plus my filter please.       [coffee]

You have already been filtered.

Warm and sunny  [Dolph]

Warm and sunny  [Dolph]

Hey all, I've got a sending off dinner for a mate so will be tied up, but should be popping past to say g'day and receive some charity from Jukie (and maybe Brian).

What time is everyone heading down?

I should be there by 8:00 ok

Tractor rides anyone?  ;D

Yeah come on down you tractor rider ;D [Dolph]

    I'll be down tonight and pick up my consignment, see you's there.

Massive turn out tonight.. sorry I had to rush in and out, would have been great to catch up with you all for a bit longer.

Yes an awesome night. Good to see everyone and great weather for it to. Thanks guy for the money too

Can hardly wait to install the new bling...thanks heaps Jukie for organising. [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Now have good incentive to do an oil change....

003 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luVfKlLdzKg&feature=player_detailpage#)

Hope we'll have as good a turn out this week for the OS guests.
I think I'll even bring the Monster out this week....  ;D ;D ;D
Shame it won't have a pretty oil filter though  :'(

Now Matty I did ask everyone. How about a kiss to make you feel better :-*

IN! The wife and I will be celebrating her birthday at Bar Italia! We'll be pulling up in style, thanks to MMick:
Newtown to Coogee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpv_LphCj7g&list=UU3Ub6ViTukXoKNeCOT1wSEA&index=1&feature=plcp#)

Looking forward to meeting the rest of the Oz DMF folks and celebrating my birthday in style!  [wine]

Don't feel too bad MV......  I also was overlooked      [roll]

A birthday you say.........?     23rd by chance....?    A double celebration is needed then..........  [wine]      [drink]

Brian

Me in.

   Do I get to wear my party dress?











                      Mmick

Only if you include the heels, mate!

Officially and unequivocally  OUT      Birthday dinner
Unless we start a Friday Night Social thread.... ;D.. [roll]      ;D   enjoy the night    [bang]

Yes so we all better turn up to wish the lovely lady

i missed this one too....

Likewise Anne!

Oh yeah, and I'll be there, not sure if on a bike or a car as yet....

Perhaps a triple (if you widen the date by a couple of days)!

Thanks!

Hey Mick, what wrong with the ST3 ? Sound like it's revving sorta high  [Dolph]

Who's the (BIG) squid up front in the brown T shirt ?

Warm and sunny two Thursdays in a row  :o :o [Dolph]

It's like it's summer.  :D

We brought the good weather with us!

See you guys sometime after 8!

Or earlier.  [thumbsup]

Yeah thanks for the great weather  Joe

Couple of mutts coming along tonight  [Dolph] [Dolph] [coffee]

Good crowd tonight, thanks for letting me park my jappa next to all your (Eye-talion Stallion's).

   Pity Bwian couldn't make it, I believe he had a previous engagement at an exclusive international Scottish, American restaurant.  [thumbsup].

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D






                                       Mmick

Good to see everyone! My once-every-6-years cadence of Bar Italia appearances is intact!

Nice to meet you mate. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!

Great to finally meet the Oz Monsters last night! The warm welcome made my b-day even better. [thumbsup]

Coffee this Thursday, anyone  [coffee]

Double D's start Thursday [leo]

Double D's, now I'm interested

+1

+1 on coffee or double d's Melvin?

double d's are only dangerous when you are speeding.

Sounds good................coffee that is
As for double d's this weekend, are you heading up norf again Wobbart...........?..... say, Port Macq     ?    ;D

thurs sounds good for a coffee  [coffee]...and a Very quiet ride [Dolph]

Cool, on something new?  [cheeky]

Word travels fast.






Much like someone's new bike.

Actually I prefer a C cup  [evil]

Are you happy with Bar Italia Hambo.....?
Maybe prefer the Bavarian Beer Cafe......?
A pint of lager and some bratwurst tickle your fancy......?

so, are we on for tonight?
Wells, if you're coming check out on your way this 748 in Challis Av just past  La Buvette. been parked there for over 3 weeks without being moved........maybe could go to a good home as a track bike?  [evil]

Not sure if I can make it, but how about this Thursday, 24th May ?

p.s... was just going to make a new social thread seeing as I'm posting in one that's two years old.... but then figured I cbf'd

Weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow and tomorrow night and you know we melt when it's raining
or threatening to rain
or when there is any water in the gutters at all. 

We won't be going as mark is not to well and we don't want it to get worse before we leave. Sorry guys

I'm out too,

     Have to attend a meeting in Picton (RFS related)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Could be a goer next thursday after the winners are handed there trophies this weekend!

Will this be the 'Suzy farewell edition' social gathering?

Perhaps the 'we're not high-powered enough to have lunch in the CBD with Svoloch' edition?

Maybe incorporate the above into a MotoGP and Turismo pre-planning session?

... and discuss what went wrong when/if no Ozmos secure the top gongs.

I've taken the liberty of locating a few reasons why tonight might be a good night to go out and socialise:

http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/tv/static/SydneyNight.html (http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/tv/static/SydneyNight.html)

If there are any venturing out, let me know, I've some availability once I'm finished with all my important CBD activities to spare on the likes of you 

Would love to come out tonight and re coup some of those beers  [beer] you owe me svoloch [cheeky]
but
as it is a social night that puts me in a dilemma as by nature I am anti social........
Well at the least have a tendency towards anti social behaviour  [evil]
and I have a better excuse I'm working  [puke]

Your beers are safe with me, mate!

It's just won't be pretty watching grown men crying in there Latte's :'(

I'll come along. I'll even bring Perry. You can all drool over our awesome Peugeot 307 diesel hatchback, as my bike isn't going anywhere, except for into the back of a moving truck..

Don't loose any bits when it goes into the back of a truck.
I hope now I can make it along I might be back in studio with another car.

Is this turning into a farewell to Suzyj coffee evening. If so I will try my best to turn up alas I too will in my car I will park it next to Suzyj's Peugeot just so it has some company.









                                         Mmick

Sooooooooo..............  any people interested in having a coffee/gelato at Bar Italia this coming Thursday ?
I don't think that this will be Suzys last hurrah but it would be  nice if both her and Perry happened to drop in.
Anyone tempted  ?
Nthn beaches  ?
Damo, Patrick......?
Its not a definate, just expressions of interest for now

Expressed, depends on my plans of the day.
I could be in the car studio for a long day.

 [thumbsup] if it's on

Unfortunatly I will not be able to socialize with the other winners winner  ;D due to work commitments..... feel free to bath in the glow of my awesomness
from afar .
Oh crap Im starting to sound like Rob last year  [laugh]

That reminds me better send him another photo of my trophy  ;D

I thought expressions of interest were taken on Sunday (or prior) and it was all go ... what has changed this time?

Ok ok.......weather permitting, Paul and I are heading over to Bar around 8 for a coffee this Thursday night. Not sure if Suzy is coming so lets not pre empt anything  and call the night  her send off party, thats all. Predicting rain though,thats my only worry Mark but hey, the gelato is worth it don't YOU think  ?
Would be nice to catch up with the crowd seeing that the weather is warming up.

ROLLLLL CALLLLLL........


I'm in  [thumbsup]







                               Mmick

We're in. Where and when, exactly?

Me and Mr Floppy Hat Icecream Man are in

Oh and Cicii and Andy55 and the guy with the other yellow ducati at the concourse

With a bit of luck I'll see you all there! Hopefully we finish this structure at uni by then
Thanks

Ok, great............this Thursday night, being the 11th October around 8pm (some make it earlier)
Bar Italia, 171 Norton Street, Leichardt   (needed for newbies and our adopted American mate)  Svlosch, are you venturing out too for a coffee..?
For the uninitiated, its not ride related, just a social get together. It would be great to get a nice turnout so try and make it if you are free people.......

Brian W

I'm going to try.  I have a work event, so I may show up a bit lit up, and in a suit.

Suits are permissable in Norton St, preferrably of Italian design plus a tie at the very least. [thumbsup]

Is a half Windsor ok?  I was in a hurry this morning...  And no, I'm not saying something naughty about the prince...

see you guys there too  [thumbsup]

Although some of these will be now be chronologically incorreect, I thought I'd better grab them from the other thread so we can keep track. Please note discussion of a potential contingency option included below ...

Hmmmmm
Me no likey the outside areas tonight.

I'm out guys, the lure of drinks after work was too much to resist, and it didn't help that I kept getting shouted   ;D have a good night all, I will do my best to be at the next one

Cheers

Damo

I'm out too, it's pisskilating outside and it's scaring me  [roll]








                                                Mmick

Two still going this end, but driving, 8.30 ish....

Riding... See ya there shortly.
M

Alas I turned up but everyone has left. Catch u guys next time

??? We left at around 10ish as they were pretty keen to re-claim the tables... Sorry we missed ya mate.
Next time!

Sorry for the no show. I didnt leave uni till 12 working on this bizarre structure made of roof tiles. Hopefully I'll catch you all sometime soon

I thought that was a bit weird, I can't remember them doing that before ... and I am not sure why.

Anyway we only got a few drops of rain to announce Brian's arrival ... so all good. But the rest of you will now have to find some other opportunity to farewell Suzy.

Ok!  So...  Where's it happening tonight?

With any luck, at my house      [roll]

With slack ars Sydneysiders, most need at least two weeks prior notice, then a follow up txt msg to remind them. Expect at least an 80% dropout, mainly because, to put it bluntly, they just aren't allowed out after dark.  [roll]  

Whoops, best i modify this with a smiley face added as to not upset the faternity. Now, where are they..
Here goes.......... ;D   and anuvva one     [laugh]   

Well, Brian, at the close of the evening, I'm sure you'll find you were always more likely to have a drink with me, even if that didn't happen ;)

I'm no good at two weeks notice.  I've no idea whatsoever what's happening tomorrow, even, and I'm sure that whatever schedule my wife has is deliberately kept from me so as to ensure I have no ability to plan.

I tend to be much better at "it's 4:45pm, anyone want to get together in 45 minutes across town?"

With the warmer weather hitting on us, i'm sure that we can stir a few guys up one night soon .

Knock it off ya grumpy old bugger.

TWO DAYS! WOOT!

p.s.. going to pop out to drop the bike off with the boys tomorrow morning... Can you message me G or S's mobiles?

Unfortunately that doesn't work too well for those that are 1.5+hrs away from 'across town'

I see.  How long would it take you to move closer in?

Longer than it would take someone from the Eastern Suburbs to realise there is life beyond Sussex Street.

I checked a map, and there's still no sign of habitation beyond it.  Are you sure you are where you think you are?  Did you upgrade your iPhone map?  There's a good chance you're in Randwick.  People mistake that for not being in paradise because you can't see the ocean from there.

Patrick, you live in Coogee, which is way south of Sydney, dam near Wollongong i'd say. But thats cool with us    [thumbsup] .   Now, this is the Thursday night social thread so i /we feel its about time that you surfaced and arrange a night at Bar Italia. Being your first occasion, its the general rule that the newbie shouts the night as a gesture of love towards his new found friends.   [coffee]. Upon doing that , you can guarantee a monumentous turnout, some even cancelling PI for the occasion    [thumbsup]  I'm excited already re your generosity    [clap]

Well why didn't you just say so?  Thursday, Bar Italia.  Just let me know what time to show up with my wallet.  I don't know the etiquette in requesting permission directly from your spouses/mums/significant others, but after reading the forums and noting the paucity of actual events, I assume it is a somewhat complicated form, so please forward it directly to my attorney.

Well, we down here tend to be a tad shy but lets punch in this coming Thursday night, being October ,25th around 8pm. As for escaping, no problem this end, as long as I have the dishwasher under control and the ironing done, that then gives me the desired points to escape.     [thumbsup]
 My chief mechanic Paul i'd say is a definate starter , plus a few more i hope. No need to bring your tools though Paul as i'm pretty right for  now..... [coffee]    This time we might try something different and actually ride our bikes weather permitting. Last time, one drop of rain fell and he arrived here in his car     [roll]

[/b]

This week you say. I'll have to give the monster a bit of a tub, it's a little embarrassing at the moment.  :-[

8pm is perfect.  Looking forward to all your funny accents.

Great, Bar Italia, Norton St, Leichardt,.......  see you then Anthony/Tony...............  sure its not Chuck..?   or Randy  ?        ;D

Bugger wont be able to make it to finally meet Toennnnni (does the accent sound okay Teff )and drink some of those  [drink] he promised  [clap]
as I will be on my way to P.I............. you could still shout me one Ill be at the Delegate Hotel near Bomballa
I have spoken to them and they will accept a CC # over the phone 02 64588091  [cheeky]

Can we nominate someone to drink a few beers that I owe to Two dogs?

Bugger the idjiot mate who was in charge of booking rooms at the Delegate BOOKED THE WRONG FRIGEN DAY [bang]
So now will be staying in the Tathra pub sorry dont know the number.
I nominate Rob .........he can cry in his beer as he missed out on the country Tri colour cause he was twiddling his thumbs in Newport. [bang]

Bump............    [coffee]

Found the place, secured parking, eating dinner.  Lovely evening for it. See you lot at 8-ish.

(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8474/8121494574_45e89a5499.jpg)

Just studying your drinking habits Patrick.......I do see a coffee there, plus a lemonade......and a glass with a twist of lemon in it........Is this like a "lick, sip and suck" method Texan style...?    and my apologies .......for you know who not shouting you a you know what. He is from the Northern beaches, a tight knit, closely bred faternity, hence the sloppy kiss planted on my cheek.   [roll]
  You will get used to our Wobbart, and maybe next time that tight ars will spend the extra $4 and buy you a gelato as well.     [coffee]

I was fine with not getting shouted a gelato, but I got no kiss, either.

You and me both Patrick, I got zero "love" and zero gelato!

Well, I'm glad it wasn't a dirty yank thing.  I came all the way to this country to work as an underwear and swimsuit model, and the first thing that happens is *rejection*.  I hope my confidence on the runway won't be shaken by it...

What's that rule we have about 'photographic evidence or it didn't happen' ? ? ? ?    [roll]

Please don't be deterred by Robs rejection Patrick, he is always a bit shy on the first date, just give him some time. In his favour, he did have other things on his mind last night. A late breakfast tomorrow should even things up i'd say      :-* [thumbsup]

Brian    [coffee]

Wow....................!

Found this thread on the third page        [roll]

Just not on    [coffee]

Well it 2013 ... I'm surprised a 2010 thread isn't further back.

Does that mean ppl are looking for some Thursday night action again?

  
Expressions of interest MV agusta , dirt bike boys more than welcome, just don't bring any mud along with you, my bike's allergic to it    ;)  

Our theme could be....  "When East meets West" night    [thumbsup]

We all are hard nuts anyway around Sydney town heated hand grips of course but that's never stopped us.  [thumbsup]

Time to Bar up I say, Bar Italia, Norton Street, Leichardt.

Either this Thursday or the following, only tentative at this stage. Lets just see who is brave first.

Brian W     [coffee]

Sure to all suggestions Brain.
Thursday this week sounds like a plan.
Might even bring the Italian!!
It's got rego again........ And there is a rumor that it went out for a soin through the park today!   [thumbsup]

Then lets put the feelers out for this Thursday.............8pm.........

+1 if Rob S shows me the way [Dolph]

Sorry to get people excited but I'm now going to be away Thursday night.

   I can't make it this Thursday either, but I could most likely make it Thursday week.    :)

  Steve, as the following Thursday is much closer to Summer, we can wait a week.  [thumbsup]

  Don't think that your obligated to attend though as that date (18th July) suits us better as well.

 

We're out ... can't make the 18th.

Next Thursday's weather looks like this.

(http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b560/mishka08/Picture_zpsa6351c52.jpg) (http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/mishka08/media/Picture_zpsa6351c52.jpg.html)

   Well if we do postpone it to the 18th I hope we can drum up a bit more interest ! 

Why does it have to be on a Thursday other than the tittle saying Thursday ?

For that matter, why does it have to be in Sydney?

Me too
It doesn't
And well it doesn't but Perth is a bit further than a Monster can ride in a tank!

Well, it could also be Friday........but we usually choose Thursday cos..........................ummmmmm........just cos

I think you need to look back ... way back ... to see the reasons for Thursday night - and the reasons have probably changed since then.

I think it was what suited the regular attendees' work and social commitments - at the time.

Before this thread kicked off again (and Matty started to come to his senses) ... I was actually thinking of questioning the choice of venue - considering the change in demographics of the group. But ... you know ... everywhere will be inconvenient  [laugh]

"When in Rome "  I guess, can't get any woggier than Leichardt and the name sais it all......!

Just not on to change I say    !      Betty probably wants it held at the marriners stadiun

Re Matty coming to his senses..........as far as i'm concerned, he's still selling his bike till I see it removed from Bikesales   [popcorn]  

Maybe Betty/Mark/Julie's other half could start a new thread letting people vote asking if we should change the venue plus the day......    [coffee]

When the weather warms and daylight savings kicks in, I suggest we ride up the old road and then grab a sausage or coffee (a proper one) at a well known OZMO'S garage     [thumbsup]

Why wait for the weather.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27433593/IMG_3928.jpg)

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27433593/IMG_3929.jpg)

Decent coffee to  [coffee]

Brian you should know that "it's always for sale" at the right price.

As to the venue and day and timing.
Maybe we could start a night riding group! Oh hold on there is one already who go out for wheelies and wieners!

Are you sure those indicators are kosher?

That's a shame Mark, especially for their gelato bar too.......... [roll]

I will contact Bar Italia to let them know.......... ;)

Just cancel your other plans............    [thumbsup]

They are legal in Gods country Suzy        [thumbsup]

Paul wouldn't have installed them for me if they weren't.......................would he..............?

Another shift in days/times.
If there are people around tomorrow I can come out for a wee wander tomorrow night and there is another who has sniffed around it too.

You obviously didn't mean us ... we don't 'do' coffee.


I've quit!

Umm the 18th is definitely out as it is Mariners secret business sorry guys. And we do not have any good coffee at out place at all

Ok, Will see how tomorrow night is Matty......

So nobody is actually committing to going then?

Remember guy that's some of us live a bit further away than others and just can't change our plans at a minutes notice

My apologies for the stuff up and short notice, we are going there tonight, 11th July, around 7.30-8pm.

Talking of possible showers next week so we should make the most of the clear skies now.

Would be great to catch up with everyone for a chat, any newbies in the Sydney region encouraged to come along and join in, we're all a friendly bunch       [roll]

Hopefully see you there.

Brian W        [coffee]

We're in.

Seeya tonight.

+ 2 from the northern beaches [coffee]

I'm committed  [roll] and I'll be along also.  [cheeky]

Was a great turnout tonight considering we are in the middle of winter.     [thumbsup]

Apologies for the crappy pics but i'll post them anyway.......

Yeah 'twas a good night ... but I am a bit weary this morning


I have never really been one to succumb to peer pressure ... but hey, some people don't feel uncomfortable sitting on one coffee in a cafe for three hours.

It was a pleasant night out and great to see so many people there at short notice.
It's like people were hanging for it or something!  [cheeky]

Cool to blast across the city  [Dolph] and catch up all. [thumbsup]

 Vince owns it Mmick, is nice eh............!

July was the last post, you all gone shy?

And this sat on page two.

So everyone to busy?




                                     
                                          Mmick

I'd try and arrange something Mmmmmmick but you wouldn't turn up      [roll]

Thursday 31st Oct 13 @ 1900 @ Bar Italia?

Sure betty and I will be there and maybe an Andy55

And maybe a Big T......  ;D

 Cool Big T  [thumbsup]

I'm seeing some clients at Marrickville @ 6:30 depending on how long I am with them I will try to get there.

I might come by for a short while. I've got to get your parts back to you anyway, Wells.

So how much interest is there in this?

I can pop in for 30 or so. (Sporting commitments).
Equally happy to sit out if we don't have critical mass.

C'mon guys, I thought this was a goer.

We have made the commitment to come down ... but a three hour round trip may not be worth it for a couple of maybes (we have been there before and it gets a little lonely waiting for people to not show up).

Betty - will definitely be there - just need to leave before 8PM.  :(

As I said, if we're not up for it then that's cool too.

    I would usually be there but have to work tonight, definately next time.

alright ill just pop up  ;D

Betty - I'll take the queue from you mate.. just let me know what you'd like to do. If you could post on here by 5:30 then that would be awesome.

Cheers,
M

i am in ...be there at 7 [wine]

Would be good to catch up. We'll be there as early as we can.

Awesome!

Can anybody else confirm their attendance?

 [thumbsup]

We ended up with seven of us last night. Thanks to those that made the effort ... it had been a while, so was good to catch up.

 [thumbsup]

Had to did this one up. I have heard that bar italia is up for sale. Gee what is mark going to do with no more Thursday night ice cream.  :'(

Well then he should just buy it  [thumbsup]
Thriving business , all the gelatto he can eat and can get all his Monster friends to come and visit him. [Dolph]


 ;D

All the profit would be consumed in Gelato though.

Well I reckon it would be better that the business was bought by someone 'in the industry' who may or may not be disillusioned with their current employers ...

... and could then supply to his Monster friends that come to visit all the gelato they could eat   [cheeky] ;D [thumbsup]

Weather is warming and daylight savings kicks in this weekend, so it's about time Sydney & surrounds (hi Mark & Julie) OZMOS come out of hibernation.

The Mad Italian

3-9 Broughton St Kirribilli            Thought it would be a nice change of venue

Thursday week, being the 9th of October, from 7pm.

If I can get a rough idea of numbers we can book the outside tables, parking is usually not a problem up and down the street. The guy who runs it is a mad bike enthusiast, Italian bikes mainly, and i've heard that he's excited that we may turn up. Let us know if you can make it people so I can pre warn them. Their website below.

Brian W     [coffee]

 http://www.themaditalian.com.au (http://www.themaditalian.com.au)

Sounds great,

Not sure if I can make it though, bikes apart (no fork) & have no way of picking up
if someone would like to pick up for me, could offer replacement (labour) discs & pads, Vans only

 :'(

That can be arranged, also a bike if need be   you possibly have rights to at least one anyway

Northern Beaches will be well represented  [Dolph] [Dolph]
Are Tri colour 4x4 s allowed  [cheeky]
Mmmm warm spring evening Pizza and Motorbikes  [thumbsup]

We should be able to make it ... but bikes are unlikely.

+2.

No bikes are allowed Mark, but we could make a couple of cardboard cut outs for you both       [thumbsup]

Its my shout with the pizzas guys, plus drinks are on me also.

Whats with the no bikes allowed?

If it was fine and dry , I was intending to ride.

OK I should have read the previous page before asking that! I see its a gee up.

Ill be on the bike , see you all there.

You should know us better than that Andy     [roll]        The more bikes the better mate  !

And for Paul, thats a great offer and we most certainly will take you up on that     [thumbsup]

I'm a no-go, but am stoked to see this happening again. Great work Bwian!

Hey Max, I understand that you have Uni commitments but as soon as your free in November we can do it again. To make it easier for Mark & Julie, a Pizza night at Warriors will also be on the agenda, maybe you can make that.

Brian W    [coffee]

Count me in, as the good wife has let off bath and bog duties for the evening for Oliver Felipe, 3 weeks old today.  [thumbsup]

Yes, I, plus a few million Facebook people saw the little chap Mark.     :o   :o   :o   :o     

Is there a ride thursday night

We are just heading to Kirribilli for pizza and a chat, but sooner than later we will arrange a night at Warriors as well. Come tomorrow night though if you can.

Weather should be ok by the looks of it, see you all at 7.

Brian W     [coffee]

Nice turnout tonight people, just a few shots to share.

Good night good Pizza good to see some old faces out n about. [thumbsup]

... he only posted two photos of his bike.

Yeah, 'twas goodly ... thanks for organising Brian.


What do you mean again? Although this thread is titled 2010 ... that would be the last (and only other time) I have had dessert pizza with a group of OzMos ... and it was not this group of OzMos.

The ice cream is a given.

My apologies Des     [bang]

What are you doing with your hand there Paul

Yes great night and excellent company. Thanks guy.  [thumbsup]

Will organize that brunch at my place soon and maybe a little ride too  [Dolph]

Don't quote me here Julie, but i'm pretty sure that it's a Croatian mating ritual from way back.  But why at Eastern Creek i ask. May be the "V" factor  ?????    To be continued...............................

Maybe checking early morning cold pressure . [popcorn]

Expressions of interest please on catching up for pizza at Kirribilli again in the next couple of weeks.

Ok, it's that time again, lets make it Thursday week, 12th of March, while we still have daylight savings on our side. Same place as our last meet.

The Mad Italian, Kirribilli.      Say, around 7pm   ?           Nice people, I will let them know, they will save us some parking outside again i'm sure    [thumbsup]

 [clap]

The dogs will be coming.

Woof                !              [thumbsup]

Whats happening Brian is this still on ?
Weather check , chance of afternoon shower but they always say that.

Not too sure Des, hardly any interest or replies to date.........

What do you think  ?                Still want to do it  ?

We'll come along if it is still on.

Good one Mark, I think Andy is coming, plus  Des and Luba.............that right Des  ?

Weather permitting of course  !

What about our little lad, Paul Aprillia    ?

Wake up Paul        !

We are still waiting confirmation of a carer for our little buddy Kane.
All going well with that and a dry road and we will be there , only other thing that would be stopping us
is that both our clutch stacks are worn out Mrs Dogs is slipping quite badly  [thumbsdown]
Mine is on its last legs so this would be our last ride until new ones arrive .




Paul has come out of the closet .........................A........P........R.......I.......L.......I.........A....

I'm still up for pizza , although the forecast says chance of rain and thunderstorm in the evening. I'll come over in the car if its looking bad in the afternoon.

I'm in town all afternoon and if the sky looks like it's going to fall in the Darmah will stay in the garage and I'll be in the German.

All good then people, see you around 7 at Kirribilli. Hopefully we can get parking.  I will contact them tomorrow. Weather permitting of course, but i do tend to ward the rain off  !       [roll]

Will be great to catch up MV, best I bring your namesake    !          [thumbsup]

Fun night last night folks.
Next order of business is a bit of a group run (promise I won't bail) soon.
I don't even remember the last time it was.

Gretat to meet up with everyone. [thumbsup] So where is the pics Brian

Here are a few Julie    !

Nice catching up with you again Matty, love your bike too   !
