Ducati Monster Forum

i was looking for this  ;D

Is there a line?  Always seems to be a line.    ;D

we've got the place to ourselves so far  be::

Hi ladies!  I'm so glad we have a women's forum here.   ;D

I like a lot of counter space and not too much leg humping.   ;:|

Hey gals...how was everyone's Monday?

Hi Mags.  Good.  Fortunately I didn't have too much of your delicious rum cake.  It was hard to contain myself though...  ;)

Glad to see you gals here already! ;D

Hey ladies,

Anymore room in here?

Absolutely, plenty to spare! :)

plenty of room.... 'cmon in  :)

Then quit leg humping my wife('s cooking skills)! ;D  :e:v

One more, jumping in!  Glad this was thought of before the implosion. wt:

c'mon in... we'll surely all fit  ;)

Whew!  And here we are again  be::

It's starting to feel like home around here!   :D

I like the new selection of smileys, but I don't really care for beer.  They should give us a wine toasting smiley like this ----->(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u178/shemonster_01/wine1.gif)

I like that one (although I am a beer drinker)...

i like that one!!

*Knock knock*

Can I come in?

sure.... there's always room for one more in the ladies room  wt:

Would you happen to have a martini one? 

Does Neenja know we are here??

I know, I know.  Here, we can give these out...

http://animalinsider.blogspot.com/2008/01/hotdoll-sex-doll-for-dogs.html

I'll be the first to have one. 

I do now  ;D

I just spit water all over my keyboard.   ;:|

My cat has a stuffed beaver she really likes to "wrestle" with.   :-X

OMG I've missed you girls!  Glad to see we have our little corner of the world here too.  wt:

YAY!  You are here!  I was wondering when you were gonna show up...  Good to see you again!   :-*

woo hoo! I was scared I would have to use the boys room.   ;)

;:| ;:| ;:|

good to see you M

you too tanya!  ;D

 ;:|
I'd be scared too.

Boys have cooties.   ;D

Plus they leave the seat up.

:wine wt:

hey has anyone alerted hangin biposto yet?

I would, but I don't want to have to deal with logging into the DML again. I don't want the rigamarole of changing my password n' stuff.

THANKS SQWEAK!!  He put the wine tasting smiley in!  YOU ROCK!  :wine   wt:

Sorry mags, I haven't seen a martini one, but if I do I'll be sure to post it up!

This is waaaaaay better than the DML.  wt:   I can't stand all those ads!

Hiya gals.  Hope to have some good discussions with y'all in here.  I was thinking maybe we could sticky what gear is good and options there are for modding one's bike for all the shorties.  Seems like a lot of the DML girlie talk was about that.  Not that I don't like it...but we have so much more to talk about.  Don't we?   ;:|

    Is it just me, or did our Ducati World just have a major  S P R I N G    C L E A N I N G  :e:v

*waves in*


but.. my brother tells me they have these awesome drinking fountains.

Hi everyone! Glad we have a spot.

Drinks all round! 

 :wine  dr::
 be::


(thanks for the great smilies!)

No worries!  Thanks for looking for me!   :) 

In the meantime, I can drink Pepsi!  (http://www.yahoofreak.com/animated%20emoticons/Drinking%20Animated%20Emoticons/pepsi%20drinker.gif)

i went to TOB to look around at the new decor and i was horrible...
i agree this place is already WaY better :)

Hey gals!  After sleeping on it I decided to come on over with a new name (was D-Mon at the old site).  I'm very happy to see the women have a spot of their own here, cause it's nice to get away from the guys sometimes.   Cheers!  :wine

Hello Girls!
After MUCH frustration after a long day with the DML, I found this via NEDOC.
THANK GOODNESS, and yeah, the smileys are WAY better.
I recognize a couple of you, but not many more....
What's going on, where are we located, and what is the good word in the ladies room?
OTHER than that boys have cooties, that is an ancient fact.......I don't ride with boys like that anyway, I don't want to catch those.
 mo:t:

Hi Everyone!! Formerly KT, now "duqette" just like my plate. Happy to be here! Cheers  :wine

It smells so much better in here than the boys' room! Glad to know just about everyone found their way to the DMF. I just hope we haven't left anyone out of the loop. Please email those who you think might have missed the switch. :)

what's up ladies?!

i brought you all the more perfectly frosted cupcakes
...and left the ok ones for the introduction board.
all have pink frosting with a choice of chocolate or
yellow cake.

help yourself... they are on the counter over in the
lounge area next to the flowers.  i figured i'd make
it a little home-y in here.  i should bring one of my
plants... lord knows i have a few extras.

hugs all around,
  ~empress~

 :) thanks empress

wow, smells nice in here.. I wonder why the guy's doesn't smell like this!

EEK!!! A boy!!!!  :o

dont worry... I dont bite.... hard  :e:v

You stumbled into the wrong room.
http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=885.0

Hahhaha!!!!

this is the nicest thing ever!  cupcakes are the happiest dessert

fair enough, I'll follow the rules now... (however that was prior to the new rule).

perhaps we need a larger sign on the door  ;)

this statement is certainly a universal truth

completely agreed on the cupcakes!!!



Empress - how was your ride home the other evening?  Did Gen's dinner stay on the bike?

Hello:

Don't know any of you ladies, but I hope there is room for a fairly new Monster owner... '06 S4R red/blk stripe bought last summer.  Been riding for a number of years, used to do track days, although it has been almost 3 years since I have done one...not sure the nerve is still there, but maybe this summer we will see...

Anyway, Just wanted to say Hi... mo:t:...I really like this Moto Smiley  mo:t:

DING DONG  "Trick or Treat!" Can I come in? 8)

Welcome in mbalmer!  Glad you finally made it. wt:

*waves to everyone and takes a seat on a cushy lounge chair* Good to be back again!

Hey hey ladies! Better late than never I like to say! Glad to see most of you made it over  wt:

Oh, good, we were worried you hadn't found us yet!

Nice to have so many of us here.  :)

...got lost on the way over....followed the cupcake crumbs....heard the laughter & mirth....Look - friends all around!!!

So glad to see everyone.  Brought chocolate (what else???)!!

hey girl  ;D
brought your kiwi's i hope  ;:|

hey lauramonster :)

i was lost a little too... but you'll find your way around... welcome!!

Howdy ladies

whatcha all up to tonight?

Ladies, what do you do when you love somebody and you've been dating for 9 months and you live together and he breaks up with you? I'm lost and I don't know what to do.

Sorry to hear that JBubble.  :(  Is he going to move out?

Sorry J, that's never easy to deal with.

I don't have very much advice because I don't know your situation, but I hope everything works out ok.

Unfortunately, I had moved into his house. Luckily my parents live in the same city and helped me get my stuff and are putting me up until I find a place to live.

I'm just ... lost. I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do.

((hugs)) Do you have any girlfriends nearby to talk to?  If you want to chat, let me know.

I'm so super sorry girlie...hang in there.  Breakups suck.   :(   You'll be ok...promise.  I'm here if you need to talk.   :)

Do you need brownies?   ;)

i am so sorry to hear you're feeling lost JBubble :(
things will get better... you will be ok.

we're here for you <hug>

Put on your big girl panties and climb on your bike and move on, if he is done then let him be done you will be better off down the line and this may make you a stronger woman.  I know it is painful now, but it will pass. ;)

J - I am so sorry to hear that.  I totally understand the feeling of "lost".  If you need some time away, feel free to head up here - Zooom or I both have plenty of room.  (((JBubble)))

JBubble - It will feel better, I promise you.  Until it does, feel free to cry here, chat, complain, get stomping mad, punch the cushions, curl into a ball, whatever you feel like.
Then the sun will feel a little brighter, the smiles will come easier to your face and you'll be movin' on!!
laura

I'm sorry you're in pain but on the brighter side, be glad you found out now only 9mos into it instead of years into it with possible other humans involved.

Your pain will pass in time, just make sure you experience all of the emotions as they come.  Don't just try to pass through them quickly otherwise you will not heal as fast and you wont be able to move on to bigger and better things.

I'm a believer in taking this kind of experience (even though it's very painful) and try to look at the positive.  He came into your life and brought you joy, he taught you new things and you learned new things about yourself, now take those positive experiences and know that you have something wonderful to offer someone wonderful...yourself and maybe that someone special too.

Chin up sister, we've all been there and it's never a pleasant experience but it sure reminds us to enjoy pleasant experiences all the more.

Tanya

Thank you all so so much. It means so much to me.

And a special thanks to msinc for talking to me online and letting me vent and say bad words and be angry as hell.

Dolci, I'm headed up y'all's (translation: "your") way. Maybe this coming weekend.

Again, I am so thankful to you all. It really helped me get through this first 24 hours.  :)

Definitely let us know...I have the kid but we're flexible. Also, this coming weekend is a huge classic Motorcycle Day nearby.  Zooom is a judge on Sunday and there should be a good amount of turnout from the MAD (Mid-Atlantic Ducati) Club.  Many of us are part of that group as well. 

You're welcome, you know we are always here for you. :)

glad you are feeling better JBubble :)

JBubble – it’s good to hear that you’re keeping it together. As T-Byrd said, let yourself experience the emotions as they come. Don’t feel a need to respond to all of them either. Just let them pass through your consciousness, and let them move on. Learning to simply acknowledge your feelings is a good start to healing.

I stayed with my last boyfriend for two years. At first it was great, but it quickly degraded into a never ending cycle of fighting and emotional/mental abuse. Of course, you don’t see it at the time but when all was said and done and he had laid down the final insult it didn’t take me long to realize that he had really done me a favor by being an ass hole. He taught me that I deserve better, taught me that I don’t need to put up with a man’s BS. He taught me what to look for so I don’t end up in that situation again, and made me really want to work on my problem solving skills. It was absolutely awful when it ended, but in looking back I wouldn’t change a thing because I have become a much stronger woman because of my experience with him.

My current boyfriend isn’t great at talking about the future. After a while I began to wonder what would happen with us down the road (we’ve been together for four years) and decided that I should make my own way for a while until either a) I get tired of waiting or b) he gets it together and has the discussion. A little over a month ago I got my own apartment, and I cannot tell you how awesome it feels to be independent. He stays with me on the weekends but I rule the roost and can do things on my terms, and so far it has been very good for me mentally. I am in complete control of my situation and it is very empowering.

Take some time for yourself before you pursue any other romantic interests. And when someone does finally catch your eye – make him work for it sista! Some days I still think I let my beau have me too easily. It teaches them that they can get lazy about winning your affection. Make them earn it!

Amen Hangin-biposto!  You nailed it perfectly sistah!

It will continue to get better Jbubble...you might have a few set backs but trust me you will better for it.

Tanya

When you are able to, you should take some time for yourself and try to remember all the good things that came out of the relationship and what you can apply to the next one.

But for now, cry cry cry your eyes out, eat some ben and jerry's, and watch chick filcks with your girlfriends. You need it.

ahhh break-ups...

they never feel good. 
it always seems dark and like life will never be as good
as it was back when you were happy with the now ex.

the best thing to do is fully feel all of the emotion around
the situation.  when i left my ex husband, i was angry...
no... i was absolutely vexed and completely LIVID for at
least two months.  i had suppressed all that emotion so
that we could stay together.  he was against the break-
up and i literally yelled at him for the duration of every
call he placed within those entire two months.  my vocal
cords would be shredded after; i'm sure people thought i
was nuts.

then the sadness came, then the disappointment... and in
the middle of that came the horniness.  this is a job for the
rebound guy.  just recognize that the rebound guy is the
rebound guy.  if he's really great, awesome.  it still doesn't
change the fact that he's the rebound guy.  do not get this
twisted.  recognize that there might be a couple rebound
guys.  again, do not get this twisted.

it is only when you...
are willing to be open
want to try a new way of being
forget trying to avoid what happened last time
(this one is critical... avoidance just makes it happen again--
in other words "what we resist persists"  [bang])
it is only then that you can even consider starting something
real again.  and when you are, it will be beautiful.

until then ride on girl, ride on.
get with your girlfriends and enjoy life.

p.s. you're most attractive when you're enjoying yourself

Thank you girls. Really and truly THANK YOU. I'm up and down, sad and angry (down right pissed off), I'm crying and laughing. I'll be ok, I know I will. And your kind words help so much.

Thank you.  :-*

Empress - once again, your insight never fails. 

whats spankin  my sistas

 [beer]

We had a tuna, avocado, radish and butter lettuce salad for dinner with  [wine]

Listening to Kate Campbell, dk lang, the Mavericks, and then Joan Armatrading.

Wine bottles need to hold at least one more glass  [laugh]

* walking in with a fresh supply of cupcakes *

(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/28/55586340_9f96a7799d.jpg)

pink frosting on both yellow and chocolate. 

there are also a few yellow rum cake with chocolate frosting...
  ...for those who need to take the edge off

I'll take a rum one please.   ;D

How about an afternoon drink to go along?

depending on what you are in the mood for. ;D

lush  ;)

i'll pass on the cupcakes this time, and have one of those margaritas~ mmm mmm

Look who's talking....

At least I had my alcohol with food.   ;)

I think I perfected the chocolate rum cake for my hubby's birthday - it was like a shot in every slice!  I wonder how well it would fed-ex...

Mmm, tea! Thanks, msincredible!

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Wait.  I must be confused.  I thought Guinness was a food group.

Guiness is its own food group; therefore it doesn't need to be consumed with anything else.   ;D  [drink]

I was specifically refering to TiNi's margaritas.   ;)

margarita's have a lime garninsh and salt  :-\

seriously, what is wrong with some guys?? 

http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=5562.0

that's WaY worse than a text msg from SaTaN asking for your soul  :-\

I'm curled up in bed with Dharma, my ducati bear.  And the doors are locked.

I realize it is only a prank call, but still.  I'm un-nerved.

mags,

I'm so sorry, that is beyond disgusting. The exact same thing happened to me eons ago, and I remember being completely unnerved by it, too.  [puke]

However, you have recourse. It's actually illegal to do that sort of thing (somewhat the same as exposing yourself to little girls in the park), so you can contact your local law enforcement, and they can get your phone company to cough up the info on the perv.

That is, it's illegal in CA, where are you?

I think if you were a great deal more upset with your phone company, you might get some better response from them, as well....

Feel better, take care....

I'm in California.  Hopefully it won't happen again.  T-mob suggested I contact local law enforcement, and make sure to keep the phone bills with the calls on them.

I am just hoping its a one time deal.

I could use a martini.   ;D

hopefully it won't happen again, but who knows  :-\
sending a magatini your way  [thumbsup]

Just laugh at them. They'll never call you again.

Or don't answer calls from unknown numbers. I never do. If someone really wants to talk to you, they'll leave a message.

Several years ago, my boyfriend at the time got a new cell phone, and soon was getting lots of calls from men looking for sex. I ran a Google search on his phone number and discovered it had belonged to a male escort. He started making me answer the phone.  [laugh]

I don't answer calls from unknown numbers either; particularly as a single parent of a daughter. 

Last November my parents were in China and I almost didn't answer when they called because I didn't recognize the string of numbers on the phone.  But when the same string then came up on my cell phone, I figured it was someone that I knew. ;D

When I was living in the Dorms in college we had a major problem with this sort of thing...It was pretty easy to figure out which numbers to call since we all had the same first 3 digits to numbers, add that to a campus with an all female residence hall.  It was very distrurbing.  The local police had us keep a long of the time and date for the incoming phone calls.  I'm not sure if it did much in the long run but at least we felt like we were doing something to try and catch the pervert.

If it happens again I'd contact the local police and see if they have a procedure for this sort of thing.

Ewww, mags, that's icky.  I totally LOL'ed at Mother's response though.

he gets even funnier when he doesn't sleep  ;)

I think the number should show up on your bill.  Obviously the originating number will show on the CDR, but I'm not sure your provider puts that information on your bill.  There is always a way to find out.  Behavior like that has to be stopped, since it will continue until someone says something. 

I have a kind of silly story about that kind of thing.  I had dated a guy for a short period of time, and months later I got a call from him.  I let it go to voicemail.  I checked the message and heard.... ummm.... well, he wasn't alone.  Someone must have rolled over and dialed me on his phone.  All of a sudden after a minute or two of ... sounds.... I hear him whisper, "Oh, shit!"  *click*   [laugh]

that is CLaSSiC  [laugh] [clap] [laugh]

Wow, this thread had dropped down.

In case anybody besides me wants to comment on this post in General (it's not obvious from the title):
http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=29741.msg522522#msg522522 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=29741.msg522522#msg522522)

Thanks for the heads up P, I would have missed that. 

Thanks for chiming in! :)

I said a little something, but I don't like to get into arguments on the 'net so I left it small. (and yet arguments still find me.  [roll] )

quick... someone take away his keyboard  [roll]

Wow.  I got to the thread late so it was seemingly back on track, and I don't want to get him started again.   [bang] [bang]

Good comments from you guys.

(And I'm on my handsfree phone in my unmarked non-company car all too often, but it is 99% business related.  Stereotypes.  One might comment about people who live 10 minutes from Appalachia..... but that would be wrong.).

<knock knock>

Hello?  Any ladies in the house?


If you haven't seen it, there's a discussion going on about good beginner bikes for women here:

http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=52151.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=52151.0)


So far I've learned that TiNi and IndustrialGrrrl are way more badass than I am  [thumbsup]

 [Dolph]

By the time I get the Capirex replaced (it's been 1-1/2 years), I'm going to feel like a beginner and will need that link.

Thanks AJ!

 ;)

 ;D [Dolph] thanks AJ

but don't forget statler's wife, gwendy  8)

Thanks TiNi, I didn't know gwendy's name.
She is definitely badass on the infamous 140mph Capirex  ;D



Oooooo, wanna go shopping for 696s together??  :D

actually, don't forget about all of these badass ladies too  [thumbsup]

http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=7836.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=7836.0)

^ Absolutely, I'm glad we have so many women here!    [thumbsup]


...but if the ladies with S4Rs *learned* on their 4-valves...I gotta call that more dangerous than badass...
 [cheeky]

I'm late to the party I see! How many female Monster riders do we have here? Glad to see there are a few at least! (the "co-ed" boards are so boringly predictable with their bikini pics [coffee] )

 ;D

this thread so quiet...
my little monster is still stock, and still running, 13 years on.  :)
