Ducati Monster Forum

So there were a few of you there yesterday to witness the transformation of the monster from within. Puberty has created one helluva ride - that was some voice break.

I have already stated that I had a headache by the time we got to the kick-off point yesterday .... and that was with the Boss riding behind me! I even had to up the NRR on my earplugs, and its not even my bike (we all know she is sweet and innocent).

The transformation of the machine has continued (and encouraged) the transformation of the rider. Luckily for my hearing she was a fair way further up the pecking order yesterday so I managed to maintain a bit of distance. Anyway as yesterday was such a critical date the job was rushed through to get her to the start line, so today it was back down to the shop to finish off those pipes.

As became obvious yesterday the Boss was starting to be overwhelmed by hay fever which clearly had the better of her for the second half of the ride. So today it was my turn ... I took the little beasty down to the shop ... and holy shit that thing is LOUD! I thought my earplugs had fallen out! My jaw was shaking and my head was vibrating in my helmet, is it possible that an exhaust note can cause harmonic resonance in your body?

Not only has the exhaust added sound but coupled with the new K&N filter that thing just loves to go - it is a completly different bike. It might just be the general titillation of my senses but I have to say it has far more urgency than my bike and just keeps revving. But it is coming off the throttle which causes the most problems and it only takes the smallest backward movement and the sphincter gets nervous as the bowels start trembling. I don't think I am good enough to ride that thing hard without the usual protection offered by my slipper clutch thingy, but goddam it was fun for a little spin today.

Matty, I can certainly see how you can ride your baby the way you do ... the 620 is an animal not to be underestimated. Jukie is not set up for me, but even with me crowded on is soooo easy & smooth to ride.

.... and by the way the guys put the meter on the bike today at the requisite 3-4 metres and they were a bit apprehensive to give us the results .... and I don't think it should be posted on here. I can only hope Jukie comes back from the shop a little quieter once they have finished with him - for my hearing, sanity and ego.

Now you see why my little 620 can still make me  ;D even with all those big bikes around.
What year is Jukie? I'm an 05 and she has the slipper clutch, I thought they came in from 04 models.

You mean that wicked new voice is gonna get tamed already!!!
I hope she doesn't loose too much of that deep growl.

Jukie is a 2002 model so no slipper (Betty is an '05 and I think I need it) and yes it has taken a while to get to the exhausts.


Perhaps just a little, should remain plenty deep and growly.

BTW that photo is out of date already .... but I don't know if I can say any more.

ask me.....i know



















......but i'm not telling  [evil]

So I'm asking..........

Do tell, someone please.

Jukie where are you we're talkin'bout your bike here.

Matty she is probably asleep (working the night shift), she will see it soon enough.

But then she may not say.

Those Stubby pipes look wicked. Those things makes some noise as well. I was going up a hill behind Jukie and Andy and I couldn't_hear_my_own_bike  :)

Guys,

I'm not impressed that you are not all talking more about my pipes, now that Jukie has a deep growl. You guys have been picking on me about my standards for so long, and now you guys have all gone a bit quiet. I thought you guys would have loved the new pipes. Anyway like Betty said that has all changed so, you will have to turn up for a run to find out. But At least Melvin is having a go, and he wasn't even there.

so talk fellows

this is my new pipes Spider

way to go girl loud and proud , sweat looking cans [clap]

apparently that photo is out of date....go have another look at your bike....it could have rearsets or Ohlins hanging off it...

and I listen to you darling....my mirrors and grips arrive this week, in comments to PJ's I wrote "Jukie said I had to buy these!"

there will be more photos today sometime this afternoon so stay posted.The photo will be my work so no where near as good as MATTY work.

So here are some better shots

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3027/2733772011_71ed80a0cb_m.jpg)

and some more

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/2733771797_aa729db698_m.jpg)

and more

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2733771693_6b156af1e4_m.jpg)

there is still more to come i might have some more tomorrow. stay tuned again

ha! i was referring to the gold rearsets .......... but it was a secret so melvin kept his big mouth shut



hey, jukie ........... looks REAL sweet .......... the self proclaimed king of bling gives you  [thumbsup]

Those rearsets look sweet.. what sort are they? I've been ogling the S2r Rizoma rearsets (http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=119) for ages but just haven't been drunk committed enough to go through with it yet.

They would be Sato (Racing).

for once they are too pricey, secondly they come only in black .......... like Sato better
...and Sato has been so good to me over the years with their service and efficiency WELL BEYOND anyone else

Interesting I could never find them in a fitting for our Monster.
Only ever S2/4R models, lots_a_gold on them there bike now.
What else is to follow.........

[whispers quietly] Isn't that enough? [/whispers quietly]

They only have two classifications S2R/S4R and Monster/S4. I think people are thrown by the S4 reference and think that they will not fit other Monsters, apparently the 'Monster' is a reference to all Monsters other than the S bikes which are listed separately .... we just asked for them to suit the 620.

maybe a little more gold and some shortning of things

I'd suggest finishing up that clutch side rear-set before taking her for a spin!

this should be good....although I note that you haven't bought the leopard skin saddle, yet!

leopard skin no no no.

Jukie they look sweet
Don

On yah Jukie show us you bits wooohoooo [clap] Nice, cant wait to be close enough to touch them  [evil]

you such a RUDIE vince, but we will have to do this in private ok.

We are taking about your new bling are we not  ??? [cheeky]

Nah, her leopard skin leathers are a feature ..... any more would be overkill.

hhmmmm maybe (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/1/1_4_76.gif)

Jukie  [roll]  I blushing again  :-[

you blushing hehehehe thats funny
(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_6.gif)

Have been down to visit Jukie. The exhausts still aren't quite finished but the rearsets are done and the new exhaust hangers have been added ad they look pretty good I reckon.

Thanks Spider,

(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_101.gif)

Now this is what you need next Jukie

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ducati-Monster-Fuel-Tank_W0QQitemZ230282881112QQihZ013QQcategoryZ102691QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

no i dont think so

thanks Dock, I got on ebay and scored 3 early 2000 era Ducati catalogs! That ebay is a dangerous thing - I could easily have put in a few bids on some bikes whilst I was there.

I know I have been sucked in many times.I try to limit tthe time i spend looking [bang]

I'm still watching that 996sps and trying to find a friend who will buy it. If it goes for less than $20k there will be sore feelings in this house.

here are some pretty much finished product

(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/1/1_4_126.gif)

Hey Jukie,

    Nice looking shorty hugger and your other bits.

so you like my other bits Matty

I've always liked your bits.
 8) self portrait on your avatar now.

yes the other one was me too, just showing of my new top

frickin exhibitionists !

 [thumbsup]

did you have a birthday in August (Leo!) by any chance?

no no no march aries

Jukie, where did you get that new hugger?

that's not a 'hugger' mate, we call that a 'tight singlet' and in this case it is specifically a 'babe in a tight black Ducati singlet'.

these kids and their language, geez!

 ;D

ah yes jukie i like the top and so does my little sex kitten , now  i no what to get her   for Chrisy  [thumbsup]

Carbonworld in Germany ..... or did you mena the singlet?  :P

hey bazz,

got some other tops as well which i put up on the forum later

You guessed right. I'll check them out.

cheers cober have a great weekend  [thumbsup]

here is another top

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/2833024884_6f89bc3d36_m.jpg)

and yes it is cold and i have my headlights on

i cant take my eyes of the corse emblem ,the put that in good spot  :o [evil] [thumbsup] great top by the way  [clap] and no sheep dog to round them up and point them in the right direction  [laugh]

ah, now that definitely confirms my 'exhibitionist' theory about you. God bless you Jukie and you too Betty.

ah, I'm still laughing that you put that up!  [thumbsup]

She is the way she is  [roll]


..... and I wouldn't have it any other way  ;D

This was all for Bazz and to select a top for his missus. I still have one more top to show guys.

(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_3_2.gif)

and you're waiting until the temperature drops below 10 before it's officially t-shirt weather of course!

thanks very much jukie for modeling those tops for me they look far better in the flesh than in book  [thumbsup]

in view of this new fashion statement it's only natural, that the title of this topic should be changed  ;)


nice hmm, ..... top .....    [evil]

forza ducati  [thumbsup]

OK, suggestion for new title of this thread: We only need to drop a single word eg.

"Julie's got balls ..... big ones!"

oooh danno your well and truely getting the hang of this forum, and actually only have tiny ones the picture just makes them look bigger. if you guys want me to change it i will.


(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/1/1_4_83.gif)

dear, if they are tiny, well then you must be standing in front of one of those 'wacky' mirrors at the amusement park!  :D

they really are tiny ask the sydney guys

that reminds me of a member of the DML who had an avitar of a lady with a t shirt with a termi logo and sporting the slogan "nice cans".

personally, I prefer arrow exhausts [cheeky]

Cans are cans, but it depends what "cans" you're talking about.
So what other styles do you have to show us then Jukie.
Does it treat your cans as good as the current one!

After my hiatus overseas and not contributing a whole lot to this forum, I come back to find the tone of the place......just right.  [thumbsup]

Jukie, please keep modelling any new tops you have, although I think I may have preferred that more 'naked' variety of avatar you had last week...hell, it is why we ride naked.... [moto]

now now boys keep it gentlemen like, jukie was just helping me out , bless her heart , going to all that trouble, i now no which tops to get my little sex kitten for Chrisy  [clap]

Cans .... have to be custom.

Individual, one of a kind and boldly attracting wandering eyes.
