Ducati Monster Forum

I heard it straight from the horses mouth, after shooting his for sale photos the lad is now having second thoughts.
Our mate is obviously going through a delayed mid life crisis and needs our help.
Rumour has it that he has fallen in love with a Guzzi cafe racer so that proves my theory i'd say.
Take a look at these candid shots below, taken at Frasers, it just ain't cricket MV.

Now this we could understand and live with

But it goes downhill, could you imagine it, rocking up to Bar Italia on this   ?  Only at the Bavarian Beer Cafe i'd say    [coffee]

This below proves my point, our little mate needs help.......a bloody Combine Harvester has taken his fancy now     [roll]
Those skinny little legs are bound to buckle under a Harleys weight   !

I knew they were going to pop up sooner or later.
The first one is pretty and pretty expensive too.
The second one is less expensive not quite as pretty but.....

The third one, well what can I say except you know I don't like cleaning bikes all that much.

This might take a while though.
It did take Melvin more than a little while to find a new owner for his very pretty 800.

You need therapy Matty, trust me......a fifty HP Guzzi....????.....Why go for the powerfull model  ??   lol.   You will need to fart when going up hills to make it to the top.......
As Annick stated,  "do you really want to sell it   ? "
Vince has a few Ducatis doesn't he..?     If you get rid of your one and only then i doubt whether you'll make his Christmas list this year MV....     [coffee]
 

Wow Matty that third photo................I............I..........I think its a nice fit for you   [cheeky]

I do have a vague memory of another Ozmonster member owning a shiny chrome embellished tractor just like that    [laugh]




















Oh oh oh O Brian  ;D

where's the pic on the diavel matty?


or did i just let the cat out of the bag?????

No cat out of the bag.
The Diavel is a possible but not a fore gone conclusion.
There is another bike in the mix.

Let's just see of there is a sale that happens first and we'll see from there.

Best of luck Matty with the sale. We got our s4rs almost at the same time. If I didn't already have mine I'd buy your in a hart beat. I think no matter what SWMBO says, Ill never sell mine. The collection of bike just keeps expanding......... Bit easier for me nice I'm not starting a family or buying a house. Alas, it looks like we won't be eyeing too much of Matty as his other responsibilities begin to take over...........or will we ;D

The decision is purely mine Danno. Annick is as surprised as anybody.
The way it's started it won't be leaving the garage anytime soon.

I don't what these other responsibilities are that you speak of ???

Translated, means ;
 "I now realise that last month I wasn't well and did a very silly thing in advertising my bike for sale. As I have decided to come on the next ride I may as well take Brians (dam nice guy too) advice and pull the add. Please forgive me for my brain snap"


Danno, the little guy has seen the  light but is too embarrased to open up, but I don't mind taking over here on his behalf.   [thumbsup]  The poll sais two things. Firstly, under no circumstances is he allowed to sell his bike. Secondly, he needs to seek help re his faux pas. What better way than to attend Betty's "No MV's Allowed Northern Ride" . An excellent way to clear his head too, tagging along and helping Betty/Mark out. Not so much for the newbies, you blokes will be fine, but it looks like there is going to be a large contingent from the Northern Beaches skulking along so Mattys help there is important.

What I did do is jump on it for a run over the bridge to see a friend.

Hmmmmmm..........

  Very good MV.............  and you enjoyed it i'm sure..........  IMO, the bike is worth a lot more than what you'll get selling as its a buyers market right now.
  Next process of therapy is,......some hands on love and attention, otherwise known as cleaning    [thumbsup]  More than welcome to arrange a cleaning bee here if you wish, probably spotless tho. I could formally invite a few OZMO lads along as well.
  Could be an ideal time also to resurrect the Thursday Night  thread for a "pre social ride" gathering..... and if Betty rocks up you could do some fine tuning for the up and coming ride which was    [evil] [evil]DELIBERATELY [evil] [evil]    arranged on my weekend away      [roll]

Brian W   [coffee]

And if you do decide to pop on over, please bring a set of allen keys with you, have a small project going at present. I would like to ride it tomorrow BTW    [coffee]

That's some new bars there I see.
What else is going on there?

Yeah it was nice to be on it again. I think I have to set up the bars again my hands were getting numb quickly.
It can always do with more of a clean, but it should get some riding done before that happens.

Looks like something I could be interested in. I'd be interested to know more.

Mostly cosmetics Mark, swingarm plus a few other parts off to the spray booth...... then nothing else to do....."finito"

'twas the swingarm I was interested in ... hmm painting ... probably not.

Matty, you've never looked so handsome as when sitting on that BMW....it's so ugly I wouldn't know which end to mount

(knew a girl like that once)

Twas a good idea to bump this thread up, MV, please take note that 30% say the bike should stay put, plus not to mention 50% wanting you to seek some help. The deliberate ploy by everyone (well, mainly northern beaches lads)  to hijack the For Sale thread seems to be working. So far so good   !

Now tonight, cancel your pilates class and spend some special time in the garage with your Monster. To jog your memory, it is the red coloured bike under the bedsheet in the corner.    [thumbsup]

I'd say that a Thursday meet at Bar Italia, should be good therapy for you. Why, even Ivan is talking of coming along   [coffee]

Who is this person posting under the name Spider  ???

Brian, the Monster has a disease that it caught from someone else within the family whereby it's currently in an unregistered state sitting under cover in the undercover place it now lives.  :'(

Does that mean you've finally come to your senses and are buying a 695?

G'day Spider welcome good to see another newbie  :-*
you should go and introduce your self in the Introductions thread  :P

If I was selling to buy another Monster Suzy, I'd just keep mine.
I do like a 2V bike, I think they sound so much better than a 4V bike.

Think 1200!

Heard a reliable rumour that a certain OZMO "oldie" has upgraded to a GS 1200 and his partner in crime could possibly follow suit............  no names though, of course     [roll]

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/030.jpg)

They look like a pair of copulating praying mantis

There wasn't much time for that, the red skinny one was just too fast!

Not sure I should stick around mate....there are pictures of blokes on some very ugly bikes....all this GS 1200 nonsense....the motorcycle equivilent of all these 4wd in Malvern.

Is there a large expanse of the Sahara between your home and your office? Then why do you need/want the GS with the dented aluminuim panniers?

anyway...I've sold the Duc and bought a Harley, so I spend my time building up my right forearm muscles....polishing.....chrome.

No Sahara Spider but it's kinda hard to ride a Monster here.
