Hi Baz, welcome back  !

Redneck you say  ?      Guns   ?      you have a lot in common with our Rob S , he is gun mad. Matter of fact, he pulls one out whenever i visit him. PM the little guy, he has a Tricoloré but it could be sold within a week i'd say. He then goes out and buys another Monster as no one will talk to him otherwise.

I'm fairly new and green to this place but it can be helpful. I have an old S4R with a couple of add ons for safety.

What State are you in  ?   

Brian W      [coffee]

Inebriated  [roll]




Hey Bazz
You will find a few off the old guard still here, and a few more that chime in on an irregular basis. :P
Believe Spider bought a Harley [laugh]
If you ever get the misfortune of meeting Bwian W or Mishka aka Mark, and you drop your wallet, kick it to the wall before you pick it up  ;)

thanks guys im originally from tassie but now residing in vic on the  great alpine road 

And Baz, many thanks for the invite, i'm sure that a lot of guys in here will take up your offer re the accommodation for PI this year mate  !    Please keep the Queen size bed vacant for Rob and Mark    [roll]

Add GoldFish to that list (can't we?).











                                         Mmick

me .





 ;D

oi! don't forget me??????

i have a diavel now...

To be perfectly honest you haven't missed all that much. It has been pretty quiet ... the two things of note in the last couple of months are Bazz coming back online and Suzy buying an exhaust.

Despite all the casual comings and goings ...

The NSW Summary
Social gatherings have been minimal with the inner city folk having fallen out of love with the Monster lifestyle to a large degree. Some have had a change in family priorities but generally the lure of dirt, chickens and all that entails has kept things low key on here.

Group rides have been few and far between since the mass booking of 2011. This combined with over-enthusiastic enforcement, some unconscionable conduct and the targeting of after-market safety tools (exhausts) by the constabulary have kept things pretty sombre.

The most significant thing to happen on the bike front has been Andy's work ... but he is too shy to talk about that publicly. Expect the banter to increase over the next couple of weeks as the DOC Concours comes and goes and all the regular antagonists continue to stroke their ... umm, egos ... and ... ahh, bikes.

Queensland
Well Queenslanders are generally viewed on a different scale to others in OzMo land but Loony has struggled to find friends and regular riding mates up there. His problems have probably only been exasperated by the trading of the Monster and his insistence that people would love the Diavel if they could only bring themselves to ride one.

Victoria
Most Victorians have abandoned Dragon ... I am not sure what it says about the guy but even Heather has decided to flee to the wild west. Although, to be fair, some of the recent posting from Victorians have actually been Monster related and include some work on their bikes. Firstly there is the brothers sharing their family bonding sessions with the rest of us but perhaps to outdo the other states from a contribution point of view has been the 'eccentrics'.

The peculiar thing about that is that the stand out work down there recently has come from new-gen Monster owners (yes I know 'eccentrics' is a big call coming from me). You can all make up your own minds on what that says.

Tasmania
Well Tassie has never recovered after the loss of Bazz. Some owners have sold up ... Dave has had to content himself with life on the high seas and Leigh has been left about as isolated as ... well ... a Tasmanian.

South Australia
With Vossy taking stock and re-evaluating the time he was wasting with us, things have been a bit quiet down there too ... with Mr S2R practically having to fend for himself.

WA
Heather has not been alone in moving to WA with Suzy now also enjoying the wide open spaces and straight roads of the west. Monsta has obviously had his hands full with the female invasion and seems to have been a bit quiet as a consequence.

Interesting that Suzy has recently felt the consequences of isolation and has succumbed to peer pressure and found herself an after-market exhaust.

Overall
There has been so little happening from a Monster point of view postings can generally be credited to the three stooges ... Sir Rob, Brian and Two Dogs (the artist formally known as Dez). These, often homo-erotic, postings are generally constructed to encourage banter amongst the forumites ... but at least the constant ridiculing of one another maintains a bit of traffic.

Despite their continued attempts to recruit a fourth musketeer starting with Wells and then moving onto Paul ... they have found a more willing participant in Mishka and the eroticism seems to have only increased.

Oh and if you got this far ... don't forget to remind yourself of my sig-line (just remember disputing the truth adds no humour to the discussion). Apologies to anybody if I have glossed over your meaningful contributions while Bazz has been MIA.

my house has allways been open to any member of the forum any one traveling down to the island send me a pm ill give my phone number in case any one down this way gets into trouble or breaks down got a full work shop here


howdy paul glad to here from you

betty mark my good friend that is one of the best post u have done u have thought long on that one and it deserve a credit and that is sad news thats why i started this thread , it seemed very quiet not what im used to here it will take me time to get to know every one again  so if your not on the list yet say hello and lets get  this sight back too what it used to be cheers bazz

Good one Bazz, great to see you're still about mate! hope you get back on a bike soon, try a diavel, they're great to ride..........

Betty is amazingly perceptive, and accurate, dunno if my choice of ride is to blame though, maybe.....

i like the diavel but out of my price range paul ill just keep saving and wait and try and pick something up at the end of next year. living on the great alpine roads sucks at times tho but i have fun carry my ,theres a radar ahead sign up and down the road the local  [leo] just laughs at me and of corse i put my big ducati flag up , i wonder why the harley boys dont wave back probably cant see with all the bugs   in there eyes  [laugh] bazz

Still here Bazz.

Got a new pony that likes running on dirt.
The old one still gets love just not as much attention.
It's road shoes are still as new as 2 years ago.

I would say the Aristotle of the forum...

Paul - nearly bought Diavel a month ago, instead bought something else from the US (four wheels) - maybe a Diavel next year...

I'm no longer here. I left a while ago.......


 ;D
Nah. only kidding. I think I even have the same avatar from when you left.

Only just getting back into riding after some health issues and enjoying it more than every.

Did you sell your S2R while in Tassie, Baz? I think there is one for sale that might be it.

Mwahhhhhhh      xoxoxoxoxoxo   (you BIG baby)

good to here from u liegh glad to hear your getting better , yes i did sell my monster back in tassie were is it for sale mate when i had mine it was the only one in tassie a few 800 like yours and a few s4r so could be cheers bazz

Can't find the ad now Bazz. Maybe it sold. I thought it was on Gumtree.

thanks leigh anyway keep riding hope too catch up with tassie crew next year cheers bazz

Still here as well tho no where near as frequent or vocal. Monster been out for two weekends in a row. Must be a recent record for me. KTMs not getting any more live than the duc, so can't attribute the allure of dirt.

Good to hear from you bazz!

thanks for dropping in goldie  allways good to from u cheers bazz

Hi Bazz good to see you back.

I'm still here but now isolated in Perth.  Really missing the roads over there.  My poor monster hasn't been out much as I'm now working FIFO  8/6 and every time I'm off it's bloody raining.  Don't really fancy riding through Perth in the rain the drivers here scare the pants off me  :o

Anyone else in Perth reading this feel free to get in touch - I really need to get out more.

hi heather good to hear from u , now what on earth did u go and do that for u no i have trouble riding but perth thats just too far  [laugh] i suppose u will get a diavl or however u spell it  , take care of your self and give em buggery cheers bazz

Don't think you'll find me on a diavel anytime soon Bazz but there is a the new baby Pani that looks rather tasty.  [thumbsup] Maybe I'll buy one and keep it garaged at your place, fly over on my days off and wear it out over there.

I moved over here supposedly for love  :o which turned out to be a farce but the joke's on him cos I scored a well paying job that is keeping me in overseas motorcycling trips.  Going to Patagonia in Feb/Mar but I have to ride a BMW for that trip.  It's the bike for the purpose and I'll still enjoy it, under sufferance of course.  ;D

im cleaning a spot out in the shed for right now but u have to leave the keys with me so i can keep the battery charged  [cheeky] bugger the boy friends heather just take ms with u ill take my big stick and keep guys away from u  and  i suppose i could ride a boomer  [laugh] u take care of your self mate cheers bazz

Thanks Bazz I'll keep it in mind  [thumbsup]

well it's his loss then eh!

now, the diavel, great bike you know.................. ;D


















just trying to bait betty [drink]

Hi Bazz, I'm fairly quiet around here, but do regularly lurk..............

I have nothing against them Paul and wouldn't mind having a ride on one.  Just think I'm more suited to a baby Pani.  [Dolph]

Hey Bazz great to see back......

I'm back in AUS for a few years (Family reasons). Then back to the island paradise in the Philippines for more retirement....  [thumbsup]

No Monster in the wind at the moment so bikeless..... But life is good.

Big T

No reason to bait me. If it wasn't so over-powered, I think it is probably the right bike for me ... but the Boss insists I am not old enough yet so there is no point even thinking about it  [cheeky] ;D

hi dan nice to meet u dont lurk stir these buggers up, where in oz are u





thanks trevor nice to here from u too been reading your diary , yer bikless too but that will change i wonder if a diavil may be on the cards  just joking ,love   to have a ride on one allways said they were the bike for me  but there a bit pricey any how its good to have u for awhile trev cheers baz

i could say something there betty but jukie would spank me you know your only as old as ----- ---   ----  [cheeky] [laugh]

Sydney, Bazz. Lower North Shore.

You can. Ride it in urban mode the whole time and it'll have just 100-odd hp
Not that much more than the S2R800.

I'm still thinking about one.........
But then I'm also thinking about a 999s that is in QLD right now and also racing Heather to a Panagale 899......

Hey Bazz,

Moved to Brisbane last year, got crook early this year, and now just lurking not riding.

Hoping to get back into it sometime next year.

Living just off the Mt Glorious Rd so it sucks watching all the bikes go past on the weekends and not being able to join them.

Cheers,
Rob

yep ducmeister know how that feels , im in the same boat hope to fix it tho next year thanks for dropping in and saying hello this site needs all the help it can get cheers bazz

Keep the S4RS Matty  you'll miss it [Dolph]

thats what i said ,howdy dock

This post has been reported to the moderator - how DARE YOU insinuate I have become that.....my life may have changed, there may have been some downs, some low-points....but things NEVER got that dire!!!!!

 ;D

so spider how is the Massey Ferguson with handle bars going for u  [laugh]

I like to tease the idiots harley-davidson riders at work by asking if they read the latest report on chromed tyres - one of them will always fall for it and get really excited by this idea.

Once I start riding again I'll go through that whole emotional termoil thing - wanting to ride something different (a 999s, an s4rs) but not wanting to stop riding the S2rs either.....arrragghh.

Still here but not much to add till today! :) ....

g'day Heather. I didn't know you moved!
where you work? I get to a lot of sites with my work. 
Off to Paraburdoo  and Newman tomorrow after the missus and me just got back from 5 weeks in Italy.

Yeah the roads aren't real challenging here, I miss the roads over east as well.
I mostly go on the longer rides with the Ducati club, if you want to come your more than welcome.
Or we can just do the Mundaring Weir road and have a beer! :)
