Ducati Monster Forum

Ok so I know there are more cities that this listed in Canada, but I think I've hit most of the major centers.  So let us know where you are.  If you aren't listed above choose the closest and then tell us where you really are.

Cheers

Where's Canadia?

It is a magical place only a few get to visit and even less stay!  Home of  beer,  [bacon] and now a few Monsters!

It's where you find the centre of the universe   [cheeky]

I voted for London, but I'm a little bit southwest in Wallaceburg, Ontario.  I've only ever seen one other Monster drive through my town. 

Not really that close to any of those metropolises.   ;D   Closest city listed would be Toronto but I don't know why I would want to waste 3 or 4 hours on superslab to get there.  I'm in North Bay, Ontario.

Surprisingly I've ridden with a guy on an S4RS here in town and the brother of a guy I know just got a 695.  There's apparently another guy with a Monster somewhere in  town but I haven't run into him yet.  Not bad for a little northern town surrounded by moose and beaver!   ;D

When it comes time for the 10k service I'll probably ride it over to Ottawa where I bought it. It will be a nice ride in the fall.   ;D

I didn't even know there were that many towns in Canada  [laugh]

In all honesty though I'd love to move the hell out of Texas, settle in Vancouver, and poach your women. 

London

about 3-4 here

i assume you are all members of the DOCC..small slow web site but its canadian ....pick up a Timmys and visit

Victoria, Monster S4RS Tricolore #248. I've only seen a couple Monsters around Victoria., but there are lots of Ducatis in Victoria and Nanaimo.  Difficult to find out how many Ducatis there are on Vancouver Island.  We have a great dealer in Nanaimo who seems to be moving lots of Ducactis. With no Ducati/Monster club on the Island it's a bummer, not even an Italian bike/scooter club.  As far as getting info from DOCC, you're waisting your time, the most recent post on their website dealing with Western Canada dates back to May 2008. What a waste of money it was for me to get a 2-year membership, all I got was a couple of loosy stickers and a few magazines which deals exclusively with Ontario. All their activities-info are Ontario/Quebec centric. I much rather spend my web time on this site and the Ducati Nortwest site.

I'm currently in Calgary.
There are tons of Ducs on the road here. So much so that we formed a local Ducati club last year. Most of our members are in Calgary, but the club is Western Canada based with members in BC, SK and of course AB.

I'm in Rockland, just east of Ottawa.

I'm in a town an hour north of Halifax. There are a few Ducatis here in the East since a new dealership opened in Moncton 2 years ago. Before that the brand wasn't very well represented.


Yves, sorry you haven't had any luck with the DOCC in BC. You're right, for many years the club revolved around track days in Ontario and Quebec and this was reflected in their lack of membership and club activities in the rest of the country. I found this same scenario 4 years ago when I got involved with the DOCC in Atlantic Canada, although fortunately things have changed for the better now. Just curious, have you contacted the club with your complaint? It'd be worth voicing your dissatisfaction to the club directly. The best way for businesses and organizations to develop better practices is through customer/member feedback. The club needs to know that you have been unhappy with your membership purchase so they can improve in the future.

Anyway, it's good to hear there are other clubs in your area for you to hang with. [moto] [thumbsup]

I'm in Hantsport, about an hour out of Halifax. There are other Ducati's in the area, but I think I might be the only monster.

I've had the best time in Edmonton, Alb.... [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

I live on one of the small islands close to Vancouver and commute by ferry to Vancouver for work. I have to live with a ferry schedule, but it beats the hell out of being stuck in a traffic jam surrounded by cages.

U must have taken in the Edmonton Rexall Indy Race ? ? What else kept U amused ?

Hey all,

 Reviving a once dead thread from the archives [moto]

I'm in Kamloops, B.C., and just picked up my 2010 696 over the winter. Have yet to even ride it but have the itch something terrible. New to street bikes in general (have ridden moto for 30 years) and am looking for some fellow Duc owners to ride with...

cheers [drink]

Home of the Leafs - Toronto [thumbsup]

I've seen quite a few Monsters here

should have had an option for "i don't live in canada, but like voting for things"

I would say more then "quite a few". The season has barely started and I think I ride past one a different one almost everyday. Not including mine ofcourse.

I'm in Toronto too.  Roncesvalles.   [thumbsup]

There was a meet last summer at REV.  Is that happening again? [beer]

Let's hook up a ride as soon as the roads get grippy up north.   [moto]

Or now. [evil]

Hey Don
Its gonna be at GP Bikes this year. Ric, the same guy from last year is organizing. There is a post on DOCC as well as GTA motorcycle.
I will post up closer to the time.
Cheers
Mark

PS - Gotta love the weather - over 2k already.

Sunny Vancouver!  Hoping to ride in some sunshine before...the end of time?
