Ducati Monster Forum

After constant badgerring from Rob S, here is his very own, exclusive man cave hangout.
No red, black, tangerine, nor white pearl bikes allowed in here, not even titanium Julie. Silver is no go as well, so out you go now Andy, this is an exclusive area for the elite of the elite   [thumbsup]

Before i get into trouble for doing this, I have had at least five requests from Wobbart for me to start this as he feels that it wouldn't be right for a Tricoloré (am bowing as i type that word) owner to start his own thread  [coffee]

In here he can post photos of his bike, plus discuss any mods with all of his Tricoloré (bowing again) mates. Out I go now as I too am barred from entering his domain.

Very befitting photo Desmond, looks like it was taken in his garage i'd say   !
Had the pleasure of being allowed there today actually, but for an obvious reason......  to show me his latest mod to the bottom radiator.
The bloke is so proud of his new toy, he even insisted on wheeling it out so the dogs could get a better look....     [thumbsup]

And the latest mod below.......  no DP crap for this guy, nor an MCAS knockoff........  straight to Bunnings for the purchase, for anyone interested in copying his design, go to isle 18 and look for black fly wire, then all you need is four clear cable ties.     [clap]
And my apologies for the blurred image, for some unknown reason i couldn't keep the Nikon Digi still

Oh my Rob! I feel a little  :'( for your Tricolore having to make it around town looking like that.
I am hoping/thinking this is a very temporary measure.

Correct MV.........Tis VERY temporary,....that is, till they get him in some black wire     [thumbsup]
Definately doing its job tho, not one fly or mozzy on the motor, the guy is a genius   [clap]
Where else would you expect this to happen, but on the peninsular     [roll]

Rides side saddle and doesn't use the rear brake.  [thumbsup]

You Should try it some time  [thumbsup]

I wonder if they make three color bubble wrap?

Had the pleasure of viewing Robs new pipes, :o up to his old tricks again, blinding any who dares to look, [evil] remember the glare from the back of Precious, well the blinding shine now runs from the cans to blocks.
Fantastic look tho i am worried that they will have to be removed after each and every ride to be maintained to there full blinding glory [bow_down] [clap]

Bring on "More Precious"

This should help Rob, 8)

Why do you torture yourself Rob with all these things to clean and polish.

Touche' Matty, its a disease i say...........     [roll]
You have titanium, and i ceramic black..........  none of this gurly polishing for this little black duck...
Next overnighter, can you imagine, him bringing his grinder/polisher along.....  I say no more    :o
Brian      [coffee]

Maybe torture to some  >:(

Therapy for the others :D

I know as I don't own a Tricolore I shouldn't be posting in here ... but I received an email for Geoffduc recently (who we met at WDW) and wanted to share because he specifically mentioned this thread. Below is some extracts from his email:

"... a guy kept coming into the store looking to buy one [a Tricolore Monster] I decided to sell it, I told him the price and said no offers so that when he came to see it he fell in love with it and it was sold.

I left most of the mods on apart from the "Riding House" belly pan and Akka exhaust can as he said he wanted a bike that looked standard, he certainly did his homework because his current bike is a Harley so he flew out with his pal to WDW to see what all the noise was about, the list of bikes that he drew up after visiting Misano was S4Rs Tricolore and Paul Smart SC which he hunted till he saw mine.

... thought it would be good to ... sell ... while the going is good"

A couple of photos of Geoff's former Tricolore Monster ... there are some nice decorations on the wall there [laugh]:

 That red beer tray is not standard on a tri is it ? Nice mod , Looks good  [thumbsup]




Wow doesn't that Sargent seat look good on a tri colour Rob  [cheeky]

Was looking at that red tray, i have a spare might try painting it. to match the red radiator guards, [thumbsup]

I know exactly were i can find a sargents seat ;)

OK gents, the red tea tray was in a glass case in the ducati store at 2007 WDW, on the friday I asked could I purchase it but was told it was a sample and not for sale. Well I'd fell in love with it and kept going back to the guys behind the counter and asking could I buy it, come sunday evening as they were starting to get everything shut down and all the parts back into their boxes I asked again and I think they sold it to me to just get rid of me, but being a cheeky bugger I also presuaded them to sell me a pair of the new DP mirrors with the indicators built in which at the time weren't on sale.

The tea tray wasn't the usual plastic but some type of resin so it had a really nice smooth finish to it but Lars (stopintime) painted an OEM plastic tea tray which I saw when he stayed with us brits in Misano for WDW2010 and that looked good.
Hope that helps and if you want more pics of the tricolore one of you guys will have to PM me their e-mail addy so I can send pics as being an olde fart I still can't get my head around posting pics on the forum.

All the best from Jolly Olde England...Geoff... [coffee]

I really like that red beer tray kind of look like a big tongue coming out from under the bike ala Rolling Stones lips graphic.

Rob your bike is really starting to come along nicely with all your personal  SUBTLE  changes  [cheeky]

Ducati Monster Burnout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PDPLBv11Ug#)

Sorry for the late notice, Newport will be a buzz tonight. Forget the Sydney fireworks......pfffft..... this  will better it from what Wobbarts son Mathew said. Thats more than likely one of his mates in the above video, just keeping the bike ticking over and battery charged as Daddy requested Paul.     [thumbsup]

Role call is as follows.

Mwah           Bringing drinks
Desmond      Food & nibbles
Matty           Official photographer
Paul             Apparently, he wants only to bring his tools plus a trailer    [roll]

Guess who's sporting a new set of TRI colour boxers

Is Rob back yet?

Has he seen what you guys did to his bike while he was away?

Photos shamelessly stolen from the main board.

 Didn't know i was gone, ;)

Your bike didn't?

Where are the moderators when you need them  :o
I cant believe that photo has been allowed on here for so long  ....... that is a cheap copy Ducati shirt  [cheeky]

That photo's fine '

This is the offensive one

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27433593/20130113_204115.jpg)

Yep, the little guys back home with a fresh lease on life.
Popped in to give him an official welcome home and got a guided tour plus wanted to show off some new prized possessions, purchased in Italy i guess.

Insisted that I photographed him with these genuine Italian gnomes

And another with his pet     [roll]

Ah my eyes my eyes  [puke]

Worse than than a photo of me on Rob tri in my shaging suit me think!!!

This room seems to be heading in an unsavory direction
Recent research by qualified scientific  boffins from Italy indicates a strong connection
between TRI colour and homo erotica  [cheeky]

NO !
That was a discrace .......Rob should of made you get dressed before inviting you down to the garage  [laugh]

Your right i need to purchase a shagging suit in red, green and white, what was i thinking? [laugh]

  This guy knows his bikes  [thumbsup]

It will never be as spotless as Rob's but given some time it will come a close second......Oh yes, the pressure plate goes sooner than later..........to be continued.
