Ducati Monster Forum

well, i got into san francisco yesterday, from denver.

(and got into denver about 1am on that day... it's been a long couple days.)

really wish i was here on a bike. the weather is delightful, and nice roads can be easily come by (unlike, say, kansas). instead, i came here on a boeing 767, and have been enduring taxis.

some observations:
1. i'm sure this isn't news, but jesus hell california is expensive! :P
2. lombard street is entertaining. i saw a vet clinic, next to a sushi place, next to a psychic reading place. rock.
3. uhm... i guess i just had two.

i really wish i had more time, and money (and a vehicle) to hang out in the city. as it is, this is just a couple days of layover before i head on to korea.

oh, and i saw a 695 last night, parked across the street from some bar called 'the final final,' right near my motel. probably doesn't belong to anybody on here, but figured i'd throw it out there, just in case.

so, what's a guy on a tight budget, and limited time do in san-fran?

Zietgeist tonight - it's at Valencia & Duboce

Where are you staying? 

& BTW - you might wanna post this in MOB

Uh, you're pretty much among friends, here.  But, uh, don't go asking strangers this question on the streets of San Fran.  :-X :o

Yeah, god forbid you should ask the locals. I mean they might talk to you... Brrrrrrr. Scary.  [roll]

Sorry sinister, but without a smiley, some people might think that sentence makes you look like a homophobic, inbred prick. I'm mean, it might leave the impression that you're a  douchebag or a dickhead, or maybe you need to get your head out of your ass.

Really, all I'm just saying is that when you say certain things, a smiley can really help lighten what would otherwise look like a pretty mean statement

;D ;D  [laugh] [laugh]

See, All better  [cheeky]

Later kids. I'm off to ban myself.

 :)












(just in case)

Like I really give a make the beast with two backs about your opinion.  [roll]

I gues when you are a Mod, this doesn't apply:

Obviously, you don't, but just for fun, you ought to give it a shot.

I will, when you start enforcing your own rules. [thumbsup]

YOU ROCK Drunken Monkey!



P.S.  Don't pay no mind to these folks, Zarn...go check out Zeightgeist tonight.  There rest of your time in the city will be a blur.

He used smiley's sinister, that makes it all better.

So you can call anybody any name you want, just use a smiley after it.

It means you are joking.


asshole prick

 ;D

He used the same 'innuendo' approach you often do, to stay within the rules while making what appears to be a patently offensive statement.

I guess you don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Honestly, when you start making a *real* effort to stay within the rules, we'll actually give a make the beast with two backs about *your* opinion.

+1  [thumbsup]

You'll see a bunch of us locals there. Usually goes from 6:30 on. Look for us out back in the beer garden.

+2 on come to Zietgeist tonight

look for the the non-hipster crowd with leather jackets on and just pour yourself a beer.  There will be pitchers and pint glasses.  You could get drunk for free if you are a cheap bastard, but its always nice to try to buy 1 pitcher to share  ;)    [drink]  

Tamales are awesome and the burgers taste like they have crack sprinkled on them.   Your first tamale is on me if you show up!   [beer]

I can back up that claim about the burgers.

They're make the beast with two backsing awesome.

I just wish they were bigger.   ;D

Adding a smilie at the end would have made you sound like a nicer person (according to DouchebagMonkey ;))   [cheeky] [thumbsup] ;D

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I got taken to some place called Top of the Hill to see a couple of crappy punk bands. Pretty fun place.

I have no idea what you can do but this seems to help  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sure it wasn't Bottom of the Hill?

I thought it was called Bottoms Up.  [cheeky]

Maybe... I wasn't in the best shape to remember. It was a fun place, though.  ;D

well, i ended up going out with this chick (a friend of a friend), and didn't make the zeitgeist.

went to amoeba music, and wandered around the haight-ashbury where she lives.

i think i saw a 916/996/998 today, and i know i saw a 749 yesterday. seeing monsters all over. always want to stop by and wander around the random shops and cafes looking for whoever owns them... "hey, you on the forum!?" [laugh]

went and did touristy shit today (ghiradelli square, the wharf, etc.)

what the make the beast with two backs are those little three wheeled contraptions that are all around town?

You talkin' about the little yellow things that're an open two-seater?

If I remember correctly, they're rental units for tourists that come with some kind of audio tour that tells you where to go.

(When they're parked, you can still turn the radio on without having the key.   [thumbsup] )

God those things are annoying.  >:(

by contrast i've been in LA since yesterday, around hollywood, and I've seen one monster (parked, older M900), one 999, and one-rashed up supersport.  Kinda expected more.  Plenty of beemers though.

+1.

so are f%#*ing cable cars
...and european tourists in the FIDI!!!!    i like to run them over on my walk to work
