Ducati Monster Forum

Hello my south Florida friends!!

Who's going?

What are you bringing?

Any suggestions on when / where to meet up?  There's a rally to ride on Ocean Drive at noon on Saturday.  We could meet up a little earlier and make sure some Ducatis ride together.

I'm planning on going to the kickoff party on Friday night at the Clevelander and at some point during the morning on Saturday.

If you don't know all that's going on, here's a link to it: www.southbeachbikeweek.com (http://)

Is there such a thing?

First time they're doing it. Not sure what it'll turn into, but I was interested to go check it out.

The problem is that they simply don't have enough real estate in South Beach to do a proper Bike Week. Granted, I would prefer the wet t-shirt contests on Ocean Drive.

Go park somewhere and walk to don't get your Duc in there . . .

yeah, think about all the stretched out Gixxers you'll be exposing your beautiful bike to!

yup . .. plus, you into Wet Willies, you can't ride home !!!

I honestly thought it would be a good excuse just to get together...looking at all the stretched out Gixxers, baggers blasting bachata, etc would be a plus  [laugh]

looking at the babes is a plus, looking at what you mention is hurtful  . . . Getting together, anytime I go to Miami, and post about it, no one replies to those posts . . . Next time, I'll pm you to get together, deal?

I totally get what you're saying Dark.  To be honest, I never come in here and check new posts because I've never seen anyone post / respond here.  But now I know there's some movement I'll be checking more often.

And definitely let me know.  Sounds like you're not in Miami.  Where do you normally ride?

Look at my signature or here,  https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&authuser=0

zoom in 3 times, where you see it says Chivo Chivo follow the road towards the left, Autopista Panama-Colon and/or then follow Autopista Panama-Chorrera towards the left . . .

1600 miles south of Miami . . . that I call my second home, since my grandmother and other family lives there

Dark...you have a madass?????  I used to have one and loved it!!!  Unfortunately, I had to trade it in to get the Monster. 

It's a customer's, but, he's out of the country so, I have for personal use in the meantime . .  ;D

Here's my old one on the night I traded her in for Gossamer:

Cool . . . he doesn't want to sell or at an 'adequate' price, he wants to make what he paid for it plus what he paid me plus something on top, that was the reason the dealer who had them, didn't do well . ..  and people here were not going to pay $3200 for a 4 speed "bike" . . .

I've been gone from FL now for 2 years. I'm slightly farther south than Dark (Carlos). I try to keep this board going as best I can, but it's tough to organize rides. The actual club has a weekly dinner and you can probably find quite a few that will be more than happy to park their bikes somewhere in South Beach where tons of people can drool over them.

I thought about it but most of them are in Indy this weekend for the MotoGP  [roll]

Yep, I see their posts on FB.
