Ducati Monster Forum

Planning this one as a re-schedule of the ride planned earlier in the year. Obviously, the same wet weather clause applies ... refer here (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=61821.0) for the full (prior) discussion.

According to Google Maps the planned route is only about 300kms from Berowra to Berowra ... so not that long. Partly because of this it is planned to be a relatively late start. So if you have to be back home before your husband gets out of bed, must take your cockatoo for birthday brunch or have your ritual flagellation completed by a certain time ... sorry this may not be for you. It is a social ride ... for lunch ... up to the Hunter.

This ride will take quite a sizeable chunk out of your day.

The plan:

• Fill your bike @ Berowra (fuel supply is sporadic & questionable 'out there' and you don't want to be pushing)
• Meet @ Pie in the Sky around 10:00 or earlier if you wish (I know some people need to drug up pre-ride and others hate waiting at servos)
• Depart around 10:30
• Lunch at Paxton Pub (I will not be making any bookings or checking the menu or duty chef beforehand)
• Re-fuel before Freeman's Waterhole (about 160km from Berowra ... if this is a problem for anyone we may need to discuss alternatives)
• Take the tortured path back to Mount White where the ride will conclude ... kinda sorta

Group Ride
Sunday 5th May
Meet @ 10:00 for a 10:30 start from PITS Cowan

We are now officially open for expressions of interest.

+ 1.  [thumbsup] [Dolph]

I'm in if I can get the day off...

Possible if I still have a Monster by then.

By my post MV, you will still have your bike and you should be midway through intensive therapy, so check with your shrink before penning your name in.
As for "I", you have chosen my Noosa nuptuals weekend so that counts me out unfortunately (was this deliberate  ?   [roll])
One last comment MV, if you do make the ride, then i strongly suggest that you don't let your bike out of your sight on the day, rumour has it that the Northern Beaches faternity will be taking a few spanners with an ulterior motive.   [roll]

Brian W    [coffee]    

 p.s.   (that means post script Wobbart, Desmond & Mark)  Betty, please make sure that there is no railway crossings where a "certain" person may bottom out is zorst    ;D   giggle, chuckle, etc etc........... [laugh]      [clap]  

The planned route will avoid the level crossing at Kearsley/Cessnock


You mean you deliberately chose to get married when a ride was on ... shame on you - or are you simply wedded to Noosa?

I'm in.

'Technical difficulty' stopped me turning up to the last one, so I'm looking forward to it.  [evil]

Brian's not going..................that means 






Count me in  [Dolph] [thumbsup]

Yes , I'll be long for the re-run.

Hey Betty you gotta have too count that as a bonus   [thumbsup]
Teff the wet weather  God is out ;D

Put me on the list, the zaust is fixed till next time  :'(

    Mornings should be cold by then so I think the late start is great, count me in !



 

If Steve's goin, I'me goin ! ;D

                 If Gino's going Im going  ;D

  If Two dogs is going then I'm going !   ;D

I checked the looooong range forecast for you, it sais torrential rain with possible flooding.
Thank goodness that I will not be there to cop the blame for the precipitation.
Anyway, if Rendang, Wobbart, Desmond Two Shoes etc. etc are going, then i'm lucky that I ain't    [coffee]
I genuinely feel for you Betty, with those three involved, well, its like lighting a fuse on a scud misile......you just have no idea of where they'll end up.      [popcorn]

Yes your correct Bwian ...........RAIN WIND LIGHTENING THUNDER HAIL..........................In Noosa  [cheeky]







Hunter valley SUNNY MILD LIGHT WIND and a whole lotta Monsta Mc Luvin  :-*  [Dolph] [Dolph] [Dolph] [Dolph] [Dolph]

Will consider it closer to the date; by the sounds of it, you lot will be far too quick for me, since I'm restricted to 80k, which is probably a good thing.

Don't let the speed thing bother you Marmaduc,It's a social ride, We all ride at our own pace, no  need to keep up with the faster guys , we all regroup at various places.
Most off us want to get home with our licences intact :-X

Not only that being restricted to 80k your still going to be faster than Betty ;D

Rob

As Rob said Marmaduc, don't make your decision of not coming because you think you won't be as fast as others. We do try to run a proper marked corner ride when we go out to unfamiliar territory. And this will be unfamiliar for pretty much all of us so the will be a lot of corner marking which will mean the general pace will be down anyways.

That and the fact that it's been an age since there has been a well attended group ride.
So do come along meet a new group of people and have a ride.

Hi Marmaduc,

Been looking for an opportunity to meet everyone and being a relatively 'newby' like yourself, more than happy to just cruise along at a reasonable click.

It's penciled on my calender, and really looking forward to it.

Cheers - Brett

What are the speed limits on these roads anyway? Old Pac is only 60, so being restricted to 80 won't matter for that part at least.

OK, well it does sound like fun, so count me in at this stage. Thanks for the encouraging replies, you sound like you take your safety seriously ... been noticing some crazy cagers on the roads.

This is not a place where you'll find people pulling wheelies and stoppies.
Nor getting one knee down and trying to clean up and many people as possible.

I'll be working in Adelaide, and was going to take the bike with me, but I'm not sure now.

 put me in as tentative, i'll be more qualified to make a decision once ive got the project ticking over.

It's funny because it's true.

Mrs Dogs would like to attend your wee ride Betty is the boss coming too?

I think a review the concepts around corner marking ahead of the ride would be worthwhile..  (just remembering THAT south ride with the knobs)

a number of us are familiar with the following.

• Designated Lead Rider sets pace and points to corner for marking
• Second Rider (without exception) pulls over and marks the corner (The Marker)
• The second rider may take it upon themselves to mark a corner if they feel it's necessary/the path is unclear
• The Marker pulls over to the left of the road immediately BEFORE the corner and uses their indicators to signify which direction the pack should turn
• The Marker stays on the corner until the designated sweep passes through
• The Marker must immediately overtake the sweep
• Rinse/Repeat

In order for this to work, everyone has to play along.

• Overtaking the Lead is a no-no.
• Overtaking within the pack is fine. (safely, of course)
• If anyone needs to "bail out" during the ride, it needs to happen (ideally) at designated stops..

Rendang ........... are you paying attention  ;D ;D

Steve/Rendang,..............are you going to take this or remove the gloves and go for it..............?
Don't let these Nth'n Beaches wax heads upset, or compromise your over zealous overtaking techniques mate..... :o
They're only jealous cos they don't have a tangerine bike like yours. Notice how they have to have 1000 cc's between their legs   ?   Typical of a male suffering from ...........well, do I need to say it in here      ?      :-X     I only wish that I wasn't up north that weekend so I could keep an eye on them for you mate. There's nothing wrong with that 800 of yours   [thumbsup]

Below is a gentle reminder of how handy you can be on a ride my friend.......

024 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DXmV-3k71FI#)

Ahh I laugh every time I see that  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Rendang aka Macgyver.......... give him some duck tape fencing wire and a ball of snot and he can fix anything  [clap]  [beer]

   I will volunteer to be the sweep, that will stop the overtaking and also I can fix any bikes that break down !    ;)



 

+1

You will make the best sweep Rendang as I'm sure no second can miss a beautiful orange duke.

In the spirit of all things " The life of Brian" I thought I would share this with you
Not quite as funny as Rendang under pressure but it places the shoe on the other foot so to speak
I present Bwian the mechanic.
Make sure you turn the volume up .


http://www.flickr.com/photos/87335386@N02/8324139567/

Firstly apologies to Betty for hijacking his thread but as Bwian wont be attending this ride (due to sunny conditions ...... he only rides in the wet) I thought we should enjoy some of his escapades from previous DMF adventures [cheeky]


  [laugh]

http://s239.photobucket.com/user/ohana181/media/IMG_0038.mp4.html

Mark, I will be away when this ride is on but it doesn't mean I can't add some support.
Rendang/Steve for the sweep I hear...?     Minor problem with that, if he isn't letting the farmers cows out, you will find him as is below........

definitely can't make it now...
just out of surgery after losing the rear in a big way yesterday

  I will be bringing the usual fencing wire,sticky tape etc and wearing this T-shirt on the ride, that way if anyones motor blows up I can use it as a guide/manual when putting it back together.

  I wish Brian was coming with his MV, I could bring my cordless anglegrinder and staple gun and turn it into a V four. Lets face it, as an inline four its really just as mundane and ordinary as any jap bike.   :)

     

  I'm sorry to here that Joe, I hope you are not too badly hurt. How/where did that happen ? How is your bike ? All the best for a speedy recovery.   cheers  Steve

happened oust down the road form my house Steve, at the Clifton end of seal off bridge

bikes a write-off but is insured.

only thing that pisses me off is the fact that I had just ordered a shitload of parts...

so looks like I'll be chasing down another S4 when I'm back on deck

was a low side.

rear let go and I was cranked over a bit too. far, it just spun itself off the edge.

no dramas.

I busted  right femur, left lower tibia, left clavicle, fractured scapula lhs, and fractured vertebra on outside of Lower neck. (c3&4

my dainese 1pc suit saved me but I had to have it cut open to get me out.

surgery for 7 and a bit hrs today.
first serious accident in 30 years of riding, and first time for broken legs. only ever had broken ribs/small bones before.

not much fun but I'll get there....

ouch femur is bad news along with the rest

best of luck in the recovery

   Bloody hell thats quite a list, if there's anything I/we can do, just let us know.

Wow that's a serious low side!
I hope you recover well from that list of injuries.

Seriously... Best of luck with your recovery.

I'm waiting for pics so I can see how wrecked the bike is...

have a feeling it's totally cactus, with no salvageable items.

and you're right about femur
I'm pinned back together and plated heavily, Barry Style. (sheene)

Sorry to hear about your incident Joe ... never good to hear.

You seem to be in a very positive frame of mind though which is great. All the best with the recovery ... actively pursue the right advice from the experts and follow it.

Sorry to hear the bike is trashed, but the most important thing is that you're here to tell the tale.

All the best with your recovery.

Sorry for the delay in responding Dez (we have been away and then I lost your post in all the other crap).

Of course the Boss is coming ... couldn't have planned it otherwise. We still have a bit of time for the weather to sort itself out too (I assume Brian will still take it with him).

Cheers Mark fingers crossed for fine weather and getting my bike serviced in time.............Rob  [cheeky]  :-*

Come on Matty, would love you to stroke my monster in person. [laugh]

50 per cent chance of rain forecast for Sunday, according to Weatherzone. Should I take wet weather gear?
Cheers
Bern

Not sure how to take that  [puke]
Doesn't your missus refer to your  :o............... oh dear  :-[


Think the showers are going to light and scattered and mostly coastal
Ill be packing some wets just in case.

Only a maybe, I have my Mum down for the night and it might well be rude to run out on her at 9am.

Bring her along Matty  [Dolph] [Dolph]  [thumbsup]

I've lost my rear pegs.

Hi all - know it's my first chance to meet you guys, just wondering if anyone would mind if I bring a mate along on his 748 ?

What time do you expect to be back in Berowra, at the end of the ride?

It may not be a Monster but at least its a Ducati ... so long as he/she knows the ground rules (respect for the group and intent of the ride).

Depends on a few things ... but mostly how long we are stopped for lunch ... so who knows.

According to Google Maps it is almost 5 hours ride time (me may better this) ... with the lunch stop roughly in the middle. Having said that you can peel off at any time (but please let somebody know beforehand) ... when we stop for lunch you could always just jump back on the freeway and head for home if time is critical.

We (Jukie & I) may not actually make it all the way back to Berowra before we peel off

OK, thanks for the info. I may have to cut the ride short, we'll see. Is PITS easy to find, or sign posted?
Cheers
Bern

Hey Bern

PITS , code for PIE IN THE SKY. [roll]

Is roughly 7.8 klm on the right from the 7 eleven servo at Berowra,on the left heading north,the way were going ;)

Pits, Pie, Pie in the sky, reasonably easy to spot usually heaps of bikes parked out front,located on the right, on a slight left sweeper on the 4 lane section of road, before the run down the hill.

Make sure you fuel up at the 7 eleven Berowra  as it is the last servo? possibly find one of us there. :)
usually a shit load of bikes there so easy to find,or at least fuel up some were from Hornsby.

Rob

Hey all, just noticed this run & kinda pissed that I've come across it all too late (Wifey's arranged some things that I can't get out of  :'( )

It's been ages since I posted on here, no real reason, just too bloody busy I guess.
I was out this morning up the old rd, early as usual (8am'ish) & there were three patrol cars doing the rounds - Bastards!!!

Take care tomorrow, enjoy, watch out for the boys in blue & all come back safely.

I'll be thinking of you......

Hi all, Lock me in +1... Looking forward to it.

Going off-line as we are just about to leave ... see you all in an hour or so.

BTW clear blue skies up here at the moment ... fluffy cloud out over the sea.

Well we just arrived back home.

Thanks everybody for a good ride. I know I wasn't too fast for anybody so I hope I wasn't toooo slow.

Good company and just the right amount of dis-organisation. Thanks again - hope you all enjoyed yourself.

Just like to thank all the guys and girls for attending today. Had a awesome ride with no injuries, no fines and all good. Like to make a special thank to Betty and Andy55 for keeping us all together and safe. So an awesome turn up of 17 bikes to start then 2 left to go home early. So 15 for the rest of the day. So thanks again all and hope to do another ride soon. [thumbsup] [Dolph]

 Just need someone to put us some pics.  [bow_down]

  Yes, a great DMF day, really enjoyed it, thanks Mark an Andy for keeping us together, thanks Julie for keeping us in line !




 

And you bet I will always. Thanks guys [thumbsup] :-*

Great day, great ride and great company.... Nice to meet all those I hadn't met before. Thanks Betty for organising and again andy for looking after the rear of the pack. Hopefully we can do it more often! I'll post some of the pics I took later on

Thanks Betty and Jukie was a nice day and the run back from paxton pub was new to me and very good.
Betty you set a good pace fast enough with the amount of  [leo] patroling.

Here's a few snaps of the usual suspects call 000 crime stoppers  if you recognize any one  [laugh]

Shhh ... don't tell anyone  [leo]

Great day, great ride and great company. Thanks Betty for organising, Hopefully we can do it more often.

Thanks everybody for a good ride. I know I wasn't too fast for anybody so I hope I wasn't toooo slow.

Seriously Mark ..........you were not slow at all , in fact it was  near perfect pace.
And I enjoyed tailing you through the corners South on the Old road back to the Cafe (your virtual driveway )
Nice form through the corners mate at a brisk pace.

Great day and happily no carnage thanks to all for a day of Monster Mc lovin . :-*

Bloody Rob and that camera ............add yet another dodgy photo to the forum of yours truly .
And the photo of the kitchen staff Rob S .....aka......DOM  [bang] [laugh]

A huge thank you from all to Brian for the fantastic weather.  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
Thank to Mr [leo] for not booking anyone.
And thanks to all, a great ride day...

 [laugh]  It's easier to be the aloof commander (a la James May's Captain Slow) when your drill sargeant keeps the troops in line. Love your work kiddo.


Ahh so you were the one I had to keep slowing down for  ;) ;D

It is an enjoyable little section of road  [evil]


Yes much appreciated Brian ... although you did have the weather forecasters confused all week  [thumbsup]

I thought the pace was great too. I was behind Mark heading north on the old road, right at the beginning of the day and was thinking to myself "I thought they said this guy was slow...!"

Thanks all for a great day riding & special thanks to Jukie and Rendang for making a newbie feel welcome.

Was a good. Day  Maybe next one up the blue
Mountains does any one know of good roads
You go on up that way.

Next ride should be Lithgow for morno, Jenolan Caves for lunch in June and be called the bass monkey blue balls????

Gotta keep you guys all entertained, it's my pleasure [laugh]

Thanks for the photos Rob ... ya DOM.

Oh and special thanks to the lovely lady (95 years young apparently) who sat on her porch with her daughter and a loaded shotgun looking after our bikes while we stuffed ourselves at the pub.

Next time we will have to find somewhere with decent servings though so Rob can eat too.

Hey Guys and Gals, Thanks for the awesome ride. I had a Ball, Great to meet all of you and i look forward to riding with you all again sometime. Thanks for organising.
From Duke8's Mate Scott
 

That would be me mate... Who's this again??

That setup is easy to obtain, just need to get ur self some riser clip ons and a speedy Moto top triple... I'll sell you my whole bike if you like??  ;D if anyone's interested send me a pm

Hey mate it's Dave had the red s2r 1000
How much would you sell it for.

Hi Dave,

    If you like S4Rs's have a little look at pg 93 on the trading post thread, you might see something you like.  ;D
Sorry I didn't get to come out and meet all the new faces, looks like it was a great day.

cheers
Matty...

Hey Duke - Tiger/Brett here, I love that bike ....... if you're serious about selling, maybe we should have a chat.

 (see how many of the kids money boxes I need to smash !)

Nothing!
Guess I should have come out on the weekend then for show and tell. 

Its OK Matty, I will give you a hug if you're in need. [laugh]

Looks like it.

Should choose your words more carefully around here :-X ;D

Organize another ride day, Jelolan caves has been mentioned. [thumbsup]
And will there be test rides and fairy floss [Dolph] ;D

Mind you your Bike and Duke 8 bike and Andy's are all fine examples off what can be done to a Monster.

Exactly, miss one or two rides and all of a sudden your out.

Point is Rob, riding it and throwing more k's on it doesn't do much for it's sale so I am trying to limit time spent on it.
A day of another 300-400 k's just makes it a harder sell.

Hi Matt,

Tiger/brett here, sorry didn't get to meet you on the weekend and didn't mean to dish your bike in anyway (know it's for sale and a cracker), had just been eyeing off Andy and Damo's bikes on the weekend, and thought they were absolutely awesome...... maybe one day.

Anyway - just sending you the love mate and catch on the next ride (cool bunch !)

Cheers - Tiger

That's alright Brett, I was just being...... Well I'd just like my bike to find a nice new owner who'll love it and want and ride it like deserves.
