Title: Just can't get away from this forum...
Post by: rideserotta on August 22, 2011, 08:19:05 PM
A little while ago I sold my '05 620 and got an '07 GT1000. For starters... I love the GT. And while I've thought about the 620 on occasion, I can honestly say I don't miss her. I couldn't afford two bikes so...

But I will say that I tried to stay away from this forum for a while. I lurked but didn't post much. I tried other forums but there's something different about this one. You all know what I mean. The people, the talk, knowledge, the wit... just doesn't exist anywhere else.

So, I'm back... without a Monster but still on a Ducati. I wonder how many other non-Monster riders are active here?

I haven't had a monster in several years (though I often think I may someday need another), but I still hang around here.

In the words of Rabbit from Super Troopers, "I don't wanna get transferred... have to be a rookie again with some random dudes."

^Wow, obscure reference but hits the nail on the head.

The issue I find is trying to find forums for other bikes and cars that are as good as this one.  Early Turbo Mopars? Ehhh, still looking.  Kawasaki W650? Good Luck.  SRT-4 Neon?  Those dudes are Pre-Schoolers.  

Nowhere else can I find information on a certain topic that is this relevant, helpful, and varied.  


FWIW, I have found a great St. Louis Beer Site if you're looking for one-  www.stlhops.com (http://)

Me!  I sold my Monster in March and bought a Bandit 1200, but I still enjoy reading and participating in this forum.  I occasionally frequent the Maximum Suzuki Forum for technical issues, but the lack of humor over there is notable.  I may also end up with another Monster, or some form of Ducati, in the future.

Not only that but this is still a pretty good place to hang out.  I sold my Monster a couple of years ago and ride an 848 now. I still see that old bike and work on it for the new owner plus I have friends with Monsters that I help work on.

I drop by DucatiSpot but for the most part that place is pretty silly. Most posts read like comic books. Ducati.ms is better by a long shot but I guess I've been around here too long.

I agree, srtforums has its fare share of smart car guys but its so big its riddled with kids..  I'm part of about 8 forums and even without owning a duc, I'm on here the most..

Count me in the no-monster group.

After my S4 burnt I almost bought an RC51 but couldn't pass up the chance to jump on a Hyper.

Even if I'd gone with the Honda instead, I'd still be hanging out here.  Kinda hard to leave after being around so long.

 [laugh] [laugh] Very true, or at least my brand of humor.
