BABY LIKES TO ROCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!


You should have her out there!  She's good energy for the Dragon.
Can't wait!  I'm going to call you tonight from work at 10 so expect it.  When you got that transmission connection figured out, did the Dragon turn over then?  And do the meters sweep now the second you turn the key on or is that slight delay still there?

Yeah went to the dealership and ogled their bikes. Helped me figure out the lack of a nuetral light. The other wire set I was baffled by?.... der it showed up after I took the tank off.....ohhhhhh, duh the electric fuel pump! No gauges still take a minute before sweeping. ??? Dunno, I'll investigate it more through the weekend.

Hey WDB.  Better watch out for Bonfy.  You're going to get the dragon running again and she's going to want it back.  I can see the drool now. [moto] [moto] [laugh] [laugh]

You know, now that I think about it, WDB saw the Dragon before I did, right out of the crate.  I'm wondering if the Dragon didn't think that WDB was his mommy and conspired to get back to him one way or another.  He probably believes he's finally home now and doesn't have to perform that ungodly guardian duty anymore.  I couldn't take him away after all the effort and painstaking care WDB has spend nursing him back to life.   [cheeky]  Hopefully he'll let me back on board though for an occasion ride down memory lane.

Yeah, you got to watch the Meth's (and Cath's) up there.  Us Luth's,  we're less gay and  ped, more cereal.  Other than that I wouldn't much care to say. 

I'm taking 285 to Salida, then over through Canyon City.  That is some beautiful country through there.  I'm leaving mid morning on Friday.  If anyone wants to ride partway, you are welcome.

Same old...

enjoying the afternoon squalls, riding in the rain, dodging lightnening bolts.

Have you sold the V-strom?  Some guy was on the main board posted  a thread "Pondering a Goldwing" for touring purposes.  You probably already saw it.  I recommended the V-strom and posted a couple pictures of you and Dusty on your bikes.  I'm still in the process of a refi on the house in Colorado Springs and waiting on the insurance settlement  so holding off on major purchases for a bit.

What else...my freezer went out last night while I was at work and my entire green chile stock is at risk.  Thank the Lord it is almost chile season again if the worst happens.  Waiting on the maintenance man now.  Googled it and already checked all the obvious.  I have at least 40 quarts in there.   :'(

I leave for work today at 5:30.  My chile is thawed, but cold still so it is still good.  You are welcome to stop by and pick up as many bags as you can use.  I'm going to try to refreeze it if the guy can get the freezer fixed or a new one in here before it turns on me.  I know it probably won't be as good , but I am an addict  plus I have a castiron stomach so I can eat anything without getting sick (famous last words).   [puke]  If anyone else wants some, stop by before I go to work.  I hate to see it go to waste.  Or give me a call and I will leave some on the porch in a cooler for you.   [thumbsup] :'(

Hey Bonfy.  Long time no see . . .  or ride.  Tried to go to Riudoso last Monday.  Got about 15 miles out from Carrizozo and had lightning bolts to the left of me.  Lightning bolts to the right, lightning bolts in front.  Said, OK.  A different day may be better.  Still got rained on on the way back on Rt 380.  I just beat converging storms trhought the mountains.  Kept looking up for lightning, as if I was going to dodge one that a bee line for me. 
Planning on a road trip at the end of the month if finances allow.  Up through Salt Lake City to the Tetons and Yellowstone and then back down through Colorado and take some of those you just burned up.  Any recommendations  . . .  and don't say all of them.
Looking for a DUC night.  If one ever gets posted  . . .  You know what I mean.

I was wondering where you cavorted off to.  Wassamatta you, all time ridee, no postee.  Glad you avoided getting fried.  Tis the season.  Lightening makes my blood run cold.  Takes the fun right out of the ride.  I'll bring my map to DucNight before your trip and show you which roads I did on this trip and others in Colorado I've done previously that you'd undoubtedly enjoy. 

  I think we are going to bomb around town on our bikes in our thongs this week so break out the banana hammock and get in the mood for some down-n-dirty fun.  No fudge runs this time though, dammnnn I miss JJ!   ;D ;D ;D

Okay, but I gotta jet right now.  Off to work I go.  If I am not exhausted tomorrow morning I may do the PJ's ride.  It was fun last year.  I want to go visit a friend in the hospital tomorrow afternoon.  A harley guy who went down on his bike (on my birthday, dammit) and it was pretty bad.  So I will be out and about at some point on the bike.  Running late now, gotta go.

HUMBUG.  I dont want to be friends with Comtrex, Tylenol, Excedrin, and Mucinex, They help but theyre just not good company. I woke up ready to go riding this morning but NOOO the Virus and inner Ear werent about to let me go have my fun.  Dirty bastages.   [bang]

I have a boda bag that doesn't get much use anymore.  You are welcome to it.   Used to fill with Wild Turkey on ski trips and snakebites for soaking in the Hot Springs in Glenwood.  Ummmmm, yummmie.

Its being shipped off to Wisconsin....but I have my eye on Hunky Punk 2 a new and inproved version with more of an italian heart than HP1. I guess I am restless and my taste has shifted to more rare italian specimens...more to come...hopefully later this week

Hope everyone is doing great!  8)

hey bonfy, you have been to bear lake?  very cool!  I camped there a few times over the years.

I am going to be about 1/4 mile south west of there on a small lake with no defined trail to it  [thumbsup]

I was camping there on July 4 a couple of years back with my dogs.  The main trail head was packed for the holiday weekend, so I skipped Bear Lake, pulled out the topo and compass and off I went.  What a find!!  It is at the base of a cliff facing Columbia peak...full of wild trout and not a single person!

I will post up pics when I get back

You are such a freak, Count Desmo.   [evil]

Yes, DDGM, I have camped in Hornfork Basin.  I heard rockfall all night so I was glad I hadn't made camp at the base of a cliff, as you said.  It took me 13 hours to climb Harvard and Columbia that day.  By the time I got down, I had blisters on both of my heels and my hands were raw from the scree chute coming down off Columbia.  My feet were so swollen the next morning I could barely get my boots on.  My calves were swollen and sctached up for three days.  I also fell backwards on this one pitch that scared me bad enough to still remember it.   It was a rugged hike and the theme song from Hugh Montenegro's "A Fistful of Dollars" kept going through my head as I plowed onward across that ridge and the snowfields.  I wondered if I was on my final hike.  That's what I love about climbing though, is going through grueling stuff and learning what the mountain is trying to teach me.

any good non drug cures for it?


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: bonfy on September 10, 2008, 10:27:28 AM
I started sleeping soundly after I did all these three things simultaneously: increased exercise, lots of fresh air, and cut alcohol completely, not even "just one" glass of wine or beer.  I tried each of them separately or in different combos, but this is the way I finally started sleeping like a rock.   I can't even hear my own snoring anymore.   [laugh] [laugh]

P.S.  I used to have a nighttime ritual which would notify my brain it was time to go to sleep, but I don't need it so much anymore.  I would turn my fan on in the bedroom, hot soak in the tub, play a CD of a bubbling brook, and drink sleepy time tea. 
When my insomnia was really bothersome back in the nineties, I had a self-hynosis countdown ritual with relaxation techniques to lull myself to sleep.  I was still drinking then though it was counter-effective.  It helped when I was finally so exhausted I had to let go of the churning thoughts.

I went as the Smelly Pirate Hooker, of course!   I left Lance hanging on the curtain rod in Albuquerque and I was so bummed.  He still made the rounds with WannaDucBad.  I will be picking him up when I get down there next week.  After a couple weeks with WDB, he will be unbearable for awhile.

Kawboy, was that you doing a handstand off the handlebars?  Myself, I coudn't decide whether to take the truck or the Duc.  Decided I needed to work  on my form for those unexpected dismounts.  Just another day in the life of a gangsta.

Glad to hear the Momma is in good shape HP. I'm Thankful to be going back to work... even if it's waiting tables. I had to borrow cash from the Bonfy and that's lame-O. Shifts start tommorow, feel free to come see me guys!  [wine] Here's to even more to be thankful for next year.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  We got snow up here and I got a taste of a real Dodge Drift on the way back in from the farm.  Over the river and into the woods Grandma almost went in the Ducati Dodge.  I guess the truck wanted to get in on some of the Bonfy ditch action.  Duallys just don't like snowpack or ice.  I actually pulled it out after a couple swoops left and right.  I guess I am THANKFUL that I stayed out of the ditch, healthy family and friends, and countless blessings.   :D

Truer words never spoken.   [laugh]  [laugh]  I had it in 4 wheel drive and was only going 35, but the back end kept wanting to come around on me.  Thirty miles of that made for a long ride home.   I'm going  back out tonight, but this time I'm taking the Lebaron.   I'll throw some sandbags in the back of the Dodge, then it'll be better.

Nothing wrong with a challenge and if you are having that much fun you are not allowed to call it work.
Let us know when you're back in the hood so we can get together.

The Christmas party was a lot of fun.  We did miss you Bonfy, DDGM, WDB, Kawboy, Godec and of course my Kingbaby.  Here are a few pics from the festivities.  Don't know how the heck DucMouse ended up in most of the pics, but it is what it is.  :)

Here is the gang:  HP, Zaster, DucMouse and Pam

Hey, would any of you out there that have done a buy back on your bike lately post up or pm me what the percentage was of the value of the bike at the time of the total?  Or what they were going to give you compared to what the buy back was.  I'm getting a really high number from Dairyland that is off the chart from what I was expecting.  Not sure what has changed and I need some data to argue my case with the agent.   [bang]

So there I was, slogging through my emails, I'm all the way down from 2030 to 650 unread messages.  I came upon one WannaDucBad sent me in September of 2007.  They are motivational posters for people who love motorcycles.  They may be old news to some of you, but they were new to me and made me smile as they really hit home now.  Here are my favorites out of the bunch:

I have no idea what TOSAT means, but I figured this was the place to announce that the F1 lives and breathes. Tickled the carbs and she fired right up! I have removed the number plates since I don't need any help making the bike attractive to LEO's, rerouted the cables and fuel lines, and hooked up a tail light and brake light.

If you see me revving the engine at an intersection I am not showing off; the Malossi's lack idle jets and screws!

All I need to do now is attach a license plate and have some essential chingadera (side stand, brackets, etc) fabricated. Then I can get her legitimized by MVD. Woot!

I used to have to rev my old CB750 at intersections, I doubt that anyone thought I was showing off either.  Riding that thing was like flying the shuttle.

I think everyone has owned a CB750, bought mine slightly wrecked in '79, rebuilt it Cafe style, everyone thought I was a freak, they were all into choppers then, that was before Suzuki came out with the Katana, man have styles changed!!  thank GOD for Superbike evolution...

Yeah, I own one of those silly things.  Salvage yard special, blown ta' shit, valves that looked like roses, a lot of vodka, a torch, a welding machine, three cans of gold boat flake, a turbo, Wisco 850 race kit, a buddy (that loves vodka) that is one of the best pinstripers i've ever seen.  And no idea where i'm goin with it.

Wow!  That is SPECTACULAR, Kingbaby.  Beautiful job!   Here is my CB750.  WDB and I have passed the title back and forth on that thing so many times, it's like playing Old Maid.  It is back in his name and he has big plans to customize it.  He has mentioned the cafe scheme like KRJ was talking about. 
The difference in weight and power was incredible.  The Monster felt like a feather compared to a covered wagon.

Got this "cold cure" sent to me.  Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like if it doesn't cure a cold at least you won't feel it.  If anyone uses it, let me know how it works.



Dragon Ale (for colds and flu)

4 Cups Brandy
1 Tablespoon Crushed Peppermint Leaves
1 Cup Honey
1 teaspoon Sage
1 Tablespoon Orange Rind
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 Whole Cloves
2 or 3 Eucalyptus leaves
Juice of ½ Lemon

In a medium sized saucepan stir the brandy and honey over a low heat
until the
honey is dissolved. Mix the orange rind, cloves, Cardamom, lemon juice,
peppermint leaf, sage, cinnamon, and eucalyptus leaves in a medium sized
container. Add the brandy. Cover, let sit for 2 weeks. Strain. Store in
sterilized glass bottles.

Back in the day  [drink] (we need a shot-slammin emoticon) I had a remedy similar to that.  It was to warm up about 3 oz of Grand Marnier to the point of steaming.  You inhale the steam through your nose until you can't feel it anymore (it's like a ten-penny nail being driven up through your sinuses at first).  Then you slam the shot and suck on a lemon wedge.  This will unclog your sinuses and give a quick sense of euphoria thus erasing any memory of a cold till the next morning.  Repeat as needed.

Yes, I do remember that!  You and Kingbaby were there to drive me home after the surgery.  I guess I was groggier than I expected.  And Pam brought me a ham and cheese quiche.  I finally got their dish back to them at long last.  You guys are the bestest. 

I took this shot as soon as I read your post:

I rode with a couple SoCO DOGS today (KRJ and Smokescreen).  They both had fractured fingers in the past and were able to rehab them back to full mobility over the course of a couple years.  So I have hope again.  Here is a shot of the guys today:

Sounds like a great time!  Wish I was there!

Funny story....  so I am in a board room going over 128 bit single sign on encryption...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....  the guy is speaking in broken Engrish about his architecture (which was make the beast with two backsing 25 times too complex ....we need a wheel barrow, not an earth mover)...anyways, I am going back and forth between writing notes and checking nfl.com for live coverage.  I blink in the last minute and the Steelers win....  outloud voice slips "Holy shit!!".


The room goes quiet.

"John-san rike my idea?"

"uh, no, your idea sucks fugu, but the Steelers make the beast with two backsing won!"   [evil] ;D

"In the vigour of his age he married Gargamelle, daughter to the King of the Parpaillons, a jolly pug, and well-mouthed wench. These two did oftentimes do the two-backed beast together, joyfully rubbing and frotting their bacon 'gainst one another, in so far, that at last she became great with child of a fair son, and went with him unto the eleventh month..."

—Francois Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel

I finally got around to watching the leg between Durango and Santa Fe last night.  Thanks for the heads up, Dusty!  Glad they show reruns of the latest episode all through the week.  Got the DVR set now to catch them all.  Yeah, it's a fun show alright.  I'm such a sensitive creature, I don't know if I could take my teammate bellowing orders at me like some of them do through the challenges.  Somebody would lose a face or a nut, then I'd be off the show.   :(

when we watched itlast nite we thought that dumb whoha in the porche was the worst at giving him directions...but then when the evo team came up....wow [laugh] i felt bad for the guy driving..i would have killed him..


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: bonfy on March 16, 2009, 08:46:22 AM
My sentiments exactly.  I'd have thrown the car in park and wailed on the guy.  To hell with the clock.  I pondered that while watching thinking that if I was in that challenge, it would definitely go down best with a pre-counseling session explaining that things might get a little ugly, but nothing personal meant.  I still would have to get a slug in afterward if anyone railed on me that hard.   ;D  I hate coaching, as it is, unless I explicitly request it.  ONE of the many character defects.  Explains alot, I know.

Hey!  Thanks for reminding me...I haven't been getting PMs nor has Lance since they did the maintenance upgrade March 3rd.  So, if anyone is sending me PMs, that is why you aren't getting any responses.  I have been communicating with DucPainter on the Board Tech Issues thread.  So far no success.  Just email me on my yahoo address or facebook under Gloria Bonfy Waugh.  

Do we need to put in a SPOILER alert in our discussions about BULLRUN?  Good thing Randimus doesn't watch it.  He'd put the smack on your ass, biatttttccchhhhhh!!!!!!!!!   [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

YEA!!!!!  Let's all do the Happy Dance!

Lance demanded I post this video of a goat Happy Dance.  I think I will get goats next...(after ferrets and gargoyles).

Pygmy Goat Happy Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H3261x-QgI#lq2-hq-vhq)

Sorry if you can't see this, it plays when I preview, then says video no longer available when I save.  I couldn't watch a video Dusty posted the other day either for the same reason.  It's a super cute video though if like Lance, you like to watch goats cavorting.

You and me BOTH, bro!  Those two days of riding, hitting pass after pass, put me down with that damned headache I always get from altitude changes.  This one started Tuesday, but I was able to ride anyway, and we did at least 4 or 5 passes on that day.  I have been agonlized since.  I hope I never have to start weighing the fun of the ride against the two to three day punishment.  I haven't even been able to sit in front of the computer to get some pix downloaded.  Man, we had such a great time though.  Found some new favorite territory down south of Hwy 50 by Texas Creek and SilverCliff.

Hey all,

Just wanted to post a quick note announcing the "shinding" JB and I mentioned earlier.  We are looking at either the 22nd or 23rd of this month, down here at our place.  Is that cool with everyone's schedules?  No real theme, other than bikes, of course.  Gonna open up the driveway for bike parking, and we'll do food on the grill and other such party stuff. 

Sound OK?


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Cloner on May 08, 2009, 09:21:07 AM
Sound OK?

Wait....let me get this straight....you're providing a venue, food, beverages, movies, "company" (sheep and otherwise), crash cots, and valet parking, and you're asking if it's alright?  Hells yeah, it's alright!! [beer]  It sounds like an excellent excuse to meet more HDH members and stuff.

Should we bring stuff?  Where are we going?  What time should we arrive there?  How late are we welcome to stay?  Is TardYoda (or is it YodaTard?) coming?  (It doesn't matter....I just needed to get in reference to the TardYoda.  That's some good stuff.)

That's my "2 cent"


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: TheMav on May 08, 2009, 02:48:59 PM
Ok, let me try to address these questions:

1.  If you would like to bring "stuff" it would be greatly appreciated.  We have not yet decided on a menu, but it will most likely consist of the usual fare (dogs, burgers, chicken, etc).  We would certainly not turn away contributions, so if you want to bring something, please do.

2.  Liquid refreshments provided by us will be mostly beer and some wine.  Sorry, Dylan, no PBR.  However, if you have a particular brew you are fond of, please bring it along.  This is not BYOB, but the more the merrier. 

3.  Bosque Farms.  Directions to follow.  Hick membership cards not required.

4.  "Company" includes 3 dogs, 1 ornery goat, and a pretty cool horse.  "NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DRUNKEN HORSEBACK INCIDENTS AND/OR INJURIES".

5.  Time is TBD, prolly 6pm or so.

6.  You can stay until we kick you out, but the chihuahua likes to snuggle.  She is pretty cute, though.

7.  You have to ask TardYoda.  I don't know.

More to follow.

It doesn't have as many people, kinda smaller. They are more fast but safe types, like here. Pretty cool peeps, Hilo-boy(Kanseah) and Sir Wads are both awesome. I like most of them but those two are favorites. Kanseah is just seems like a nice guy, and Wads is funny as all make the beast with two backs..... oh yeah the site doesn't allow swearing, so you gotta say $h!t. or phuck, or fack.... interestingly there has been a lot of cross over laterly. It was recently asked what we would do if The guy who owns the site (Jack the Bearded Norwegian), were to hang it up. I mentioned what happened at the DML. Needless to say, Jack mostly lurks but he did pop in long enough to laugh at us and tell us not to worry.  :)

That road looks like one giant T-bone waiting to happen, there was a driveway like every 100yrds. And that was pretty damn funny that the only corner on the hole road (maybe there was more, i got lazy & skipped through some), and the guy bites it. I'm just gonna' throw cation to the wind & say, I bet that's not there first time down that road.

So seriously, if anyone wants to come down to our place next Friday night for some food and fun, please send me a PM.  I would like to get a reasonable accurate count so JB and I know how much food to get.  We'll have some booze, but not a huge amount, and just so I say it now, some of JB's co-workers will be there, and due to the nature of her work, it IS NOT 420 friendly.  :o Seriously, even the possibility of someone from her work saying something could cause her to lose her clearance, and since she is my sugar momma, I'd like her to stay employed.

So please let me know.

he he.  She is an engineer with Sandia Labs.  Currently, she is heavily involved in management and development of a renewable energy project.  She has a high level clearance because she is a scientist with a national Laboratory and has access to some pretty restricted information, and so forth.

I, for one, fully appreciated the ladies photomontage of Trent.  He was sporting the skinhead look when I saw him at the Journal about 3 years ago.   That was probably one of the top three shows I've been to.  All that is left for me now is Rammstein.  Back when I was a koroake queen, I used to get requests for "Closer" all the time.  I can nail that song.   [laugh] [evil]

#2: Dusty tells me you have an amazing voice.  Bonus bonus.

Sorry you threw up DDGM, but if Dave Navarro doesn't play with Janes Addiction tomorrow, my friend that helped me get started  in LA (almost 20yrs ago :o)  Nuno will be setting in.  I'm straight as an arrow, and have to say he aint ugly either.


i hope he does to.... and sucky for me i cant see his pic or the video......damn work :P

#2:  Dusty is a loyal friend who is generous with her praise, but I doubt she said that with a straight face.     :-*  Thanks, Dusty!          

hey she told me u did have an awesome voice...and some else too....

What in the name of all that is Desmo is going on with this thread?  Seriously......I'm not a homophobe but WOW.   :o

hey we are very open minded people  8) ;D :-* its a big world out there [laugh]

I still gots me some Pornographiti to listen to at the house.  "Sooner or later you'll be a He-Man-Woman-Hater, it's inevitable"   [thumbsup]

I've always respected Bettencourt's guitar skills, especially when he gets that Eventide harmonizer going!  I'd love to see him do an acoustic set in a little club somewhere.  I hadn't heard his name in a long time.  I know Cherone went to VH, but I hadn't heard anything about NB for years.  It's cool that you know him, and that he's still active in the entertainment scene.

Who woulda thunk it....Kingbaby knows cool people!! ;D (besides me, that is)

True, so true.

Cloner, If you dig his work I have a ton of it.  He & Navarro both did solo albums, and both I like better than when they were playing with the orig. bands.

Mav, yes you are.

DDGM, only with you big boy.  :-*

I've always loved '95 916s, but $8k sounds a little high to me.  It is pretty, though.  Kinda makes me feel all warm inside.

If you haven't ridden a 9x6 bike, you should run over to PJs and see if they have a used one you can sample before you buy.  The seating position is RADICALLY different from you Monster, and the seat height is a bit taller, too.  You know what they say, though....once you've had 4 (valves)........

I've always been a fan of the 02 748S in charcoal gray with the red wheels.. Total sex on wheels.. but it, like all the others of that time is prone to flakey rocker arms.. and thats just a deal breaker.  I'll just look and not touch.   [bang]  Road a 998 once, then a 999..

Negative.  I'm working in the Ducati hospitality area as a volunteer in exchange for free tickets, but they didn't include paddock passes.  Last year most folks who bought one were disappointed.  I'll look into buying one on site, as they're usually pretty reasonable at AMA events...though I've never been to a FIM SBK event before!

OMG!!!! You should have seen the "Streetfighter" launch party in Beverly hills! I shot some film and i will post it when I get back. While standing outside i thought i heard an airplane landing in the street.......It was a Desmocedici! Make the beast with two backsing "A"! That is the most amazing engine noise i have ever heard. If i win that damn powerball I am marching right into BH Ducati and when the salesgirl says "Can I ring that up for you/"" you're damn straight you can" will be my response!
You are right about the Desmocedici's sound. I saw two take off from the Ducati cafe in Rome and it was amazing.
For a moment I thought you were on one of them since he had the front wheel in the air.

I dont know what brought this back into my mind.. but the other night before walking into 2 Fools for Duc night (2 weeks ago I believe) I was parking on Central.. This guy walked up to me (either homeless.. or just dirty) starts talking to me "Ahh Ducati.. Thats a nice bike you've got there.. very fine motorcycle.. " "yes Sir this bike is one of the finest! I do love it!"  "yep.. Ducati makes a fine motorcycle.. If your into all that Crotchrocket Bulls@#t!" and walked off.   I couldnt help but laugh..   [laugh]

A Grand Idea!  I'm still waiting for the Monte Blanc pen that will act as a video camera, a laser gun, and a cable dispenser capable of holding me while I scale a building to break into top secret offices.  Gonna need some better Sunglasses too if I'm gonna attempt that line of work.   [bang] oh.. and an Aston Martin wouldnt hurt either.

I just want to vent for a second. 

To the pussy ass douche nozzel who continually shows up at my small gym, moves weights around without putting them back where he found them, then does his pussy ass cardio workout while reading Redbook magazine and watching Oprah on volume10,  screw you.  You dropped my testosterone levels by 20x for the second time in a row.  [anyone who is able to read ANYTHING while doing 'cardio', isnt working out]

Put your make the beast with two backsin 20lb pussy ass weights back and put some Korn or NIN on the stereo and maybe you might lose that 40lb gut and the women might stop staring at your hair plugs.  You jack ass wuss bag excuse of a male.  Oh, and the pink and gray wife beater does nothing to show off your 12 year old girl arms.  You ask to 'jump in' on my bench and dont have the common courtesy to put the weight back to where you found it (somewhere above your wuss ass sweating to the oldies levels]

(http://mypitchers.com/Richard%20Simmons.jpg)

You arent fat because hit 40.  You are fat because your wife bronzed your nutsack and wears it as jewelry.

ok, back to your normal programming kids.   Sorry, I hate being distracted when I just want to work off a bad day.

I feel much better.   and y'all are cheaper than therapy.  [thumbsup]

Now I just feel worthless.  I almost reported you to a moderator, but then I realized I'd just be reporting you to yourself.  You're mean.   :-[  You're mean, and you're heartless.     :'(  You're mean, heartless, and yet ...... still funny ...... in a mean, heartless sorta way.

Hey.... wait a minute .... what's that funny feeling inside?  I think I love you. 

How do you feel about overweight 40-something married men?  I'm not fat because my wife bronzed my nutsack and wears it as jewelry, though.  I'm fat because I'm a lazy Git who works at a sedentary job, and who can't find the motivation to do cardio whilst reading Oscar Wilde.  Damn.  Now I'm feeling worthless again.   :'(  Does anybody have a tissue?

Hey, King, wanna do some cardio?  Richard Simmons is coming over later!

Sweet.  You can leave my "weights" scattered where ever you like!!   ;)  I'll be in the purple leotard and tutu.  If I remember correctly they're the same shade of purple as your shorts.  [thumbsup]

Now, back to the real world.  I think I've heard that you know something about bicycles.  I'd like to buy a road bike just to putter about on to get some cardio without the bone jarring impact inherent in all of the activities I really like.  My joints are horrible and the only thing I've found that I can do and somewhat enjoy is spinning, but I think proper cycling would be much better because I wouldn't have to sit inside a room with a bunch of picky fanatics (like DDGM? :o).  Where should I start?  Who makes a bicycle with a book holder on the bars (to hold my copy of "The Picture of Dorian Gray") and a tissue dispenser (to wipe away my tears of shame)?  What local shop is the best to deal with?  Steel, Aluminum, CF or Ti?  Shimano or Campagnolo?  Red or black (or Chartreuse)?  Where's the best bang for the buck.  This will NEVER be used competitively, but I'd like something robust that will tolerate a large operator in reasonable comfort, and with good reliability and smooth operation.

Anything come to mind?  Does anybody locally sell preowned (we used to call this condition "used", but retailers have removed that term from our lexicon)?  I researched this a few years ago and kinda decided on a Bianchi or Specialized with Shimano 105 or better gear, but I'm sure lots has changed since then.

All help is greatly appreciated.

anyone who totes a latex gargoyle around as a pet doesnt use "IZ_"

Actually, I think it's Lance toting around a Duc-riding human for a pet.  :o

hey! u never know, she may he warm and soft to lure u in and then, what u think is soft and IZ_ turns out to be the back door sex stores with a "safe word"  [laugh]

Lance is doing his own thing this week, I guess.  He hasn't spoken to me since I went to Oklahoma without him.  He packed his bag and slammed the door behind him.  He had his gonna-find-me-an-alpaca-and-poke-it-look going so I assume he's down in Arizona at Waugh Mountain checking on the livestock. Hope he's back by Monday or he's going to miss a tirp to the NMMR and that'll really piss him off.

But I think you got it wrong
But can't you say goodnight
So you can take me home Mickey

'Cause when you say you will
It always means you won't
You're giving me the chills
Baby, please baby, don't
Everynight you still leave me all alone Mickey

CHORUS
Oh Mickey, what a pity
You don't understand
You take me by the heart
When you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty
Can't you understand
It's guys like you Mickey
Oh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart Mickey!

Hey Mickey!
Now when you take me by the
Who's ever gonna know
Everytime you move I let
A little more show
It's something we can use
So don't say no Mickey

C'mon and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you wanna do it
I'll treat you like a man
But please baby, don't leave me in the damn
Mickey

CHORUS

Oh Mickey
You're so fine
You're so fine
You blow my mind
Hey Mickey!
Hey, hey, Hey Mickey.

To all of you motorcycle riding hooligans out there... don't ride in farmington.  We had two motorcycle fatalities lately, so now the cops are essentially harassing motorcycles.

Last night, I got pulled over for driving in the left hand lane.  He was yelling at me from the start about running from the cops and yada yada yada.

Furthermore... cops follow motorcycles taking down plate numbers and matching them to descriptions, ignoring other blatant and stupid infractions such as someone driving down the road at midnight with no lights.

At least aztec hasn't gone off the deep end.

Last July I was pulled over outside of Durango by a cop who made the same remark about being surprised I actually stopped because most of 'em don't.  I felt like a dork, I knew I should've kept going.   :-[  He'd pulled over another car and her papers weren't in order so he let me go with an admonition to watch my speed.

OK...I'm trying to think of how to start this thread and I don't quite know how to begin. 

I'll start like this.  We all know that Kingbaby is a man of many talents.  He can  [moto], he can (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/party.gif) and he can (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/sheepshag.gif), but little did I know that he has hidden his greatest talent from us all.

Lunchtime came this afternoon and I decided that a bit of Java Joes Downtown sounded good, so I headed downtown in hopes of a red chile/cheese/sour cream omelet.  As I walked in the door I became aware that there was a Zydeco band playing within the small restaurant, but I gave it no more thought as I ordered my omelet and wheat toast and poured myself a cup of coffee.  My cup of Joe led me to a table near the center of the humble edifice and it was there that I was greeted by the largest shock I've had since The Crying Game.  As the band belted out its patented rendition of "Elvis Was a Cajun" I recognized Keith's voice and turned to find that not only can he sing, but he can play the accordion as well! 

(http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/fruit.gif)

Not only does Keith play accordion, but Rosemary was there, too, working percussion like an old time pro!  That girl can beat a drum, a xylephone, and a cymbal all at the same time.  It was a wonder to behold.  As I consumed my omelet and toast I was serenaded with such favorites as "You Make Crawdad Head Suckin' Fun", "Alligators Are Fun, But Sheep Don't Fight Back", and the timeless "Bayou Boyhugger".

So next time you see Kingbaby and Dusty, don't forget to give 'em a big Yee Haw, and remember, they do take requests.

I blame T-4 for my ditch on the Crest.  Remember that, DucMOuse and HP?  They had signs up at the very bottom that filming crews were up there.  Hence HP going around a corner at 35 and slowing to 20 maybe right as DucMouse and I were whacking it open.  I saw gravel, but never the film crew.   :-X  I learned a lot that day.  In fact I have never ridden anywhere near close behind anyone again, no matter how predictable they may be.  Everytime I hear someone mention Terminator 4, my knees hurt.   [moto]

It was more like 60 between a double apex, stuck in a higher gear instead of 2nd and DM was tailing me, I lost concentration watching her in my mirror and too much right hand momentum when I needed to go left. I went straight off the road into the dirt, DM was able to dodge left and you went to the right. I remember your bike was stuck in 3rd too. We were all going way too fast.

My NM license is good till 2015 so unless something like needing a Colorado license to vote up here, I plan on foregoing the pleasure of the DMV on that issue.  I did just learn though that they automatically charge you $100 if you didn't register your vehicle within 90 days of moving here.  Magically, my Landcruiser only came up April 25th instead of my distant memory of sometime in December.  My hat is off to the SUPERCOOL lady at the DMV who gave me a heads up on that even as I was filling out the form.   [thumbsup]  There are some humans in there.  The REDFLAG will reside in NM until July 2011, the Paladin until Dec 2010.  What am I going to ride and drive till then?

So the space shuttle can fly in outer space for months, but it can't land in Florida tonight because it's raining.
Now it's landing in California (at least it's just on FIRE), then "Shuttled" back to Fl. for 1.7 MILLION.

Someone explain please.

On a serious note,  and I know you full-time Albuquerquians made be jaded about the whole Balloon Fiesta thing, but do any of you actually attend? We've been to several Mass Ascensions and will be going Sat morning (it's the Princess' wish).

I found the video, shot in VHS in '98.

http://nicrosato.home.att.net/balloonfest.html (http://nicrosato.home.att.net/balloonfest.html)

You'll notice that I refer to Balloon "Fest", not "Fiesta". Also, I obviously didn't know how to increase the size of the video window. I haven't touched that webpage in 8 or 9 years.

I also like to cook (the Italian in me, I guess). We've actually done a little catering here in ABQ. Well, actually, I guess you call it personal chef service because we prepared the meals at the client's home. This avoids all food handling regs.

Some years back, we catered an opening downtown for a show by a local artist named Michael Flowers.

thanks so much for joining us. It was great to see you all. I will post some pics when I can. We didn't see any ballons yesterday as they all went north and hung low in the sky. Today some of them launched from the field just a few blocks away and flew right over us. Very beautiful.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I am adding this here.

I've been coming to ABQ for 12 years with Barbara. Her son moved here in the mid-80's and it's here chance to see her grandchildren. 5 yrs ago she decided to buy a house. So, we come out here every few months for a few weeks at a time. I've gotten very used to the life-style here.

The one thing I miss about the East Coast is the salt water. Long Island lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound. I own an old sailboat (1975 Pearson 26) and that is my #1 escape in the summer months. Here are two pix I snapped with my cellphone a few weeks ago while sitting on the boat at its mooring.

Ok, here are some pics of the other morning when we watched some of the balloons:

We will try for more balloons throughout the week too.  Those of us who have and still live here know it is hit or miss on the weather so we will see how that goes.   :)

   Looks like real good times, had a minimal Balloon Fest in Springs this year due to weather, but always a cool event, thanks for the pics, did they have a Balloon Glow at dusk ?


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: dusty on October 05, 2009, 06:07:55 PM
They did that night and fireworks.  The next night was cancelled however and so was the annual gas balloon race which has never happened in the history of the balloon fiesta.  Also, some of the special shaped balloons the were "stuck" in China are now on their way "home".  Looking forward to more of the show as the week progresses.  We will post up shots if we get some good ones and encourage any other members here in Albuquerque to do the same.  [popcorn]   ;D

Call it a bad south west perception, I wouldn't have expected something that beautiful to have been taken in NY.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been to New York? I always get the impression that people from outside the area imagine that it's all New York City. It's actually more varied than that topographically: There's the low-lying ocean coast of Long Island, the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains, the Finger Lakes, the Hudson River Valley.

My first ride on my '97 Monster was 250 miles from Ithaca back to Long Island, most of it along State Road 17 (America's Most Scenic Highway a few decades ago). As HunkyPunk remarked to me, that is a beautiful ride.

Just sayin'...

Haven't been back east in a couple years, but I have always enjoyed the foliage this time of year.  Just incredible.  I seems like winter is coming early this year though.  I just heard that Loveland ski area has opened already and it is the earliest in it has done so 40 years.  :o

I see another ski/snowboarding trip in our future.   8)

Mousey:  I have a board I was going to put on CL.  It's an '07 Burton Feelgood. Used about 6 times.  I'm going back to my ski roots and it's just sitting in its case.  Didn't even use it last year.  The 6 times were from the previous year and I kept it off the rails so it's in perfect condition. 

Why don't you make a trip out here tonight and we can hit Loveland tomorrow and you can try it out.  Yes?!    [evil]

No never been there. I knew it wasn't all NY City, I just wasn't expecting to see such beautiful coastal shots. It seems like the states around NY are more known for their coastal waters i.e. Maine/ VA etc. I understand it's a faulty impression, but it's there none the less. Blame Hollywood..  ;D

It looks like we may head down to Fox & Hound to watch MNF (Donkeys are playing the Bolts).

Most likely will not be there for the start of the game.

I'll send DM and KB texts if we head that way or if there is some other plan (without hookers, of course).

I rode 36 miles each way yesterday to a client in Howard Beach, Queens (for you auslanders, that's a neighborhood just west of JFK airport, mostly known as the home grounds of the late John Gotti). Weather was OK- cloudy, in the 60's.

I was moving with and through parkway traffic at about 60 mph, I got to thinking about the skill set it takes to ride in such traffic and how those skills are little used when I'm in Albuquerque. It is such a different experience.

Aside from the pleasure of just riding anytime, I generally do not ride for the simple fun of it. My motorcycle is my primary means of commuting when I have to go to a client's office in the area (weather permitting, of course). I have spent lots of time in rush hour, stop-and-go jams. I ride into New York city, New Jersey, upstate NY and Connecticut.

A strange contrast from my rides up the Crest with Zaster, Cloner, JJ and Kawboy  last month.

Just sayin'...

I grew up in Western Connecticut.  I hope you got a chance to see the leaves this year, but from what I hear, the season wasn't that great.  Still, riding Route 7 to the Canada border is a fantastic ride.

Nothing wrong with doing what makes you enjoy riding your motorcycle. Being from Europe, I hate being caught up in traffic and putting up with the rush hour stuff. Riding in Albuquerque is a totally different experience since drivers don't have to hone their skills on a daily basis like they would in Europe or your neck of the woods. 
I prefer to avoid the city traffic on my bike due to lack of other drivers awareness.

Some news:  Barbara and I made a whirlwind trip to the Ft Myers/Cape Coral area of Florida: Left the house 4AM Friday, returned 11PM Saturday. We looked at a bunch of condos and made an offer on a foreclosure in downtown Cape Coral. Needs some work, but we're getting it cheap. Nice location- right on a canal with access to the Caloosahatchie River and the Gulf. Only 7 units in the complex and a big plus is that it comes with an actual garage.

While I was there I got to see my '97 H-D Superglide. Didn't get to ride it, but it's in good shape. A friend with whom I do business keeps it at his shop and rides it from time-to-time. My plan is to eventually sell it and buy- guess what- another Duc.

So, any of you need a place to spend a little time on the West Coast of Florida, you will have a place to crash. Of course, the riding is flat and crowded, but there are beaches and salt water and palm trees.

Anyway, looking forward to being back in ABQ in less than a month.

Alert. Barbara and I arrive in ABQ Dec 12 for a 3-week stay. Getting out of NY just in time, as it was 22 degrees here this morning. Looking forward to seeing you guys and hopefully cooking with some of you.

Also looking forward to the arrival of eBay-purchased saddlebags for the '97 M900. Since the bike is my mule and I run all sorts of shopping errands with it, the storage space will be a good addition. I believe they are easily removed, too, so I won't always be riding around on what looks like some sorry, Euro-style bagger.

Yes, it's cold here.... At night. It almost seemed balmy when we walked out of the Sunport terminal yesterday about 2:00. The big difference between here and our other home in NY is the moisture: When it's 30 degrees and damp and the wind is blowing, it cuts right through you. Plus, if it's 22 at sunrise, it might get to 30 in mid-afternoon.

I did check that, after storms Monday and Tuesday, the remainder of this week will have highs in the 50's, which is OK for riding.

Not wanting to start a new thread: Anyone know anything about a shop called Moto Authority? The owner is Steve, a former PJ's employee.

I met some guy named Todd who was selling an Alpinestars jacket on Craigslist. Nice jacket, but the size 46 didn't come close to fitting my 44. Had a beer with the guy and he told me about Moto Authority. I think he said the wrenching is done by Z, also a former PJer.

I've been stopping by and visiting Steve's place since he opened.  He is doing really well and there's always something going on with him.  He hosts Saturday bike night at his shop in the summer and there is usually a really good turnout.  JB and I stop in every chance we get (which is not often).  We both bought Speed and Strength textile jackets and we like them a lot, and he had an Arai closeout sale where we got her a new lid for a ridiculously low price.

He's having a little shindig at his shop on Saturday from 12-4, and he has mentioned he would like to see some of the Duc crew show up.  I'm just sayin'......

Steve is good people, Nic , so feel at ease doing business at Moto Authority.  Steve takes care of business and I've never even heard a whiff of him screwing or trying to screw anyone....in the "shady business" kinda sense of the word, anyway.  8)  Now the warmth between Steve and Keith is another matter, entirely.  

 [popcorn]

As to the Alpinestars jacket, remember that Alpinestars and several other brands of riding apparel are made in Europe (Alpinestars is actually made in Italy) or Japan and are sized on the European model rather than the American one.  A European 46 is a US 36, which would make it a little small on your frame.  8)

See you tomorrow night at Buca!


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: nicrosato on December 16, 2009, 06:28:38 AM
I may ride over to Moto Authority on Saturday, to check it out.

Re: The Jacket. I did ask the seller if the 46 was a US or European size and he confirmed US. When I got to the bar to meet him ("Spectators"), I looked at the label and it said USA 46. I am guessing that it was no larger than a 40. Oh, well... The jacket was in great shape.

True story, when trying to quit years ago I used the patch. If you leave it on overnight you get CRAZY dreams. One night I dreamed I was at a fancy gala party(I'm talking make the beast with two backsing Cinderella fancy) and everyone had those feather maskes and shit. In the middle of the party is a gigantic black leather over stuffed sofa, slowly turning on a rotesiere'<sp>. Out of a back room come half a dozen midgets in S&M bondage gear, they jump this sofa like fresh meat in the hard time cell block. It's slowly turning and they are clinging to it and pumping their little hips from every angle. About that time the sexy wiccan I'd been chatting up turns into a cat and flys out the frickin screen window.

Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take "War on Leather" to Motorcycle Gang Rally.    [coffee] [thumbsup]


Pennsylvania - ~Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take "War on Leather" to Motorcycle Gang Rally.~

Johnstown, PA: Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers "duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters," according to police officials.

"Something just went wrong," said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong."

The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, "growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats," decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event "in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats." "In fact," said the organizer. "Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it... Ergo, they should stop."

According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting "you're murderers" to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.

"They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me 'La Trene', and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!"

"I... I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he... he didn't even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, 'You can't prove that.' Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman."

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers "farted on their heads."

Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed "surprise" at the allegations.

"That's pderbyerous," said on high ranking member of the biker organizing committee. "We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome."

When confronted with the allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and 'farting on their heads,' the organizer declined to comment in detail. "That's just our secret handshake," assured the organizer

It is clear that this biker gang has their priorities in order.  They are making us look bad.  We need to step up our DucNights to include more of these activities.  After all, we wear leather, too.  Our leather is just a little more colorful ...and goes beyond assless chaps, vests, and fingerless gloves.   We must look after our right to wear protective gear.   [thumbsup]

Where's has everyone fled to? I hear an echo in this place.

Just finished my last work day in Calgary, head back to NY in the morning. It's been warmer here all week than back East. 9 or 10 degrees C as opposed to -2 to -4 back home.

Heck to the Yeah!!! I would be there in a New York minute (props to Nicrosato for making that a fun phrase to use).  I am putting in apps all over the place down there and up here and Arizona and Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.  But my first preferences are NM and CO.  So if you guys hear of anything, let me know.  Meanwhile, as my desperation increases, my options decrease and I will find myself turning tricks in about three weeks.  The SPH needs to brush up on that skill set.  Sorry, Scottish!  Hope I didn't harsh your buzz.  I am tickled to see your outlook improving every day,

P.S.  Actually looking for work with one of the larger corps like Intel, Lockheed Martin (hint, hint, Pete), or in aviation.

Background is in manufacturing:  storage devices, semiconductor, aviation.  19 years of experience covering the whole picture, from assembler, materials, test, quality, supply, failure analysis, manufacturing engineering, and field service.  At this point, I would gladly take the most menial position.  The new system is working and I am a properly broken woman, just looking for a hand up (not a hand out).  Ducati parts are expensive, ya know.  [moto]

I've really got no better place to discuss this since I don't believe the topic worthy of its own thread, so.....

I guess everybody knows I own an MH900e.  The only new development in this ownership is that I've volunteered to jump in as the site administrator for the MH900e owner's club.  I have very little experience in web programming (I've programmed in Basic, Paschall, C, Fortran, and some lesser known machine code languages, but not for this purpose or using this type of code).   In this capacity I was hoping to see if anyone in the group has any web programming skills.  In particular, I'd like to find a book or other resource detailing the code used in .php programming.  I've jumped it the code used to generate web pages via .php and I've had some success moving components around, but I'd like a more basic understanding so I can really make the pages do what I want them to do!

If anybody knows anything, please holler!

If you just want to see what I've done so far, you can check out http://www.mh900e.org/parlare (http://www.mh900e.org/parlare)

Some folk have been asking me about my GoPro camera & found a shot that should explain (24mph).
As you have seen in some of the videos we've posted, the quality is great, but the speed is kinda' slow...ta' say the least (video or still shots). The point & shoot cameras with video that you can get at any electronic store works better I think, but, not a lot of mounting options. DDGM has a new, very compact sports camera after a couple of failed attempts with his GoPro & sound pretty cool. I haven't seen any moto vids that he has shot yet
it seems to work great as a voyeur cam though.    [laugh]  [popcorn]

Speaking of odd pics.
Standing in my kitchen, looking out my window, and BAM!!! Pigeon being chased by a hawk. Hawk missed & as you can see the "roach" didn't. The hawk was right on his tail feathers & shot two stories straight up...it was awesome. The second pic is him waiting to drop into the courtyard to take his dinner.

I have, I had a boss who paid me beeter the faster I could get to Wyoming. I'll tell you now, birds that play in the road are accustomed to moving out of the way of cars moving a certain speed. You add 40-50mph to that and you hit a lot of them. I hit one bird three times. It bounced off the bumper, the leading edge of the hood and the top of the windshield. I watched in the rear view mirror. It was a full 10 seconds before it landed.


BTW coolest spokes EVER!

Well, either motorcycle related (of course) or I have a few years worth of industrial work.  Plant maintenance, industrial technician, etc.  Have built prototype machines, understand a LOT of different types of machinery and how they break and how to fix 'em.  Electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-mechanical, limit and proximity circuits, power inverters and relays and such.

Have also worked as a Quality control supervisor for an entire plant.  Have 12 years experience selling auto parts. 

Things I won't do for a paycheck:
wrench on cars
body work
prostitution (unless kingbaby's askin'...)  :o
strap myself to a desk (accounting, receptionist, etc.)

I need to let all you know what a great thing Cloner did for me tonight, rebuilding my leaky fork. He provided his effort and knowledge, as well as his garage and his tools. I provided just enough assistance to have need of his hand cleaner. While he was at it, we did an oil change and chain adjustment.

I think that is well beyond being a good guy and a good riding buddy.

Cloner is one of the best guys we have in ABQ who we ride with..  Very informative and is always there to lend a hand..

Thanks again cloner for everything..

I think I'm blushing.    :-[

I wouldn't do any of this stuff for you guys if I didn't enjoy both your company and the activity in question.  Besides, forks are easy.  They're especially easy when you don't have clip-ons.  That's the first time I've removed a set of forks that didn't have clip-ons attached in YEARS!!

Nic, did you check to make sure everything's tight?  I'm just sayin'.   ;D

Wow- nice blog post, Cloner.

And that leads to add another observation about the Ducati community, and this group in particular: Most members express themselves very well. There's lots of wit and style in the writing of posts. Scott's blog post certainly exemplifies this.

Sometimes this board it just entertaining reading: I spend hours one evening reading the entire thread of El Matador and Demolu's Excellent Adventure.  I enjoy the back and forth between Bonfy and... And just about anybody else... The expressions of support for Scottish while he went through a tough time.

Hell, I read this board so much that I even understand DucMouse's disjointed posts.

I've been doing online communities for 16 years, and this is by far the most comfortable to be a part of.

Try Aircraft Remover (Paint stripper for those who aren't familiar with it) and a high power rotary grinder with a wire brush.  Sandblasting is always an option.    [thumbsup]  I dont know that those'll help the smell, but hey, its a start!

Would that be a 250? 

Is that slim backbone frame up to the task of flicking through the S-turns?     [moto]

I would like to see/hear it run...  I assume that the extra cool, rusty exhaust pipe shatters glass at 50 paces....





Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Cloner on April 21, 2010, 12:00:47 PM
That's not rust, Ed, that's "character"!

Actually, I intend to paint the homemade reverse cone megaphone (sized by calculation to provide good power, but not necessarily noise abatement) in high temp black and wrap the pipe sometime soon.  That should eliminate the "character".   ;)

The frame is more rigid than I might have thought, though it has been reinforced a bit.  It is very flickable and it weighs almost nothing, so I think it'll be a blast once I get the jetting and the gearing correct.

As to seeing and hearing it run, it'll be racing at Sandia Sunday!  Come on out.

OK....so I've now met this Stuart guy, and I'm terribly impressed.  He looks very much like KB, and I can just mentally picture him wearing KB's favorite pink thong whilst sitting astride Fabio's shoulders, pounding Fabio on the head and yelling at the top of his lungs....."I want an Easter egg....I want an Easter egg".  Can't you see it, too?

Anyway, I'm to meet Duck Stew at Two Fools Tavern between 6:30 and 7:00, and I don't see any reason why he should be allowed to monopolize my glorious presence, so I thought I'd invite a few other lackeys friends to come down and hang out.  You know where you are.  You know where I'll be.  Now all you have to do is figure out how to get from where you are to where I'm gonna be at the appointed time (or before if you wish to wait for me......if you do that, have a boxty ready for me at 6:30.....and bow as I approach, Lackey).

Have I been hanging around Bonfy too much?  Your comments are greatly appreciated (though they'll probably be ignored, as usual).  As is a boxty.  On yer knees, wench.  Wait....what am I saying?!?

Stew had an 8:00 engagement he couldn't (and shouldn't!!!) avoid, so we turned in early.  On the bright side, there's probably a VERY happy little girl that look a lot like Stew's version of Mini Me somewhere in Albuquerque right now!  That, and I got an opportunity to complete modifications to the Aermacchi for this weekend's races.  She's all geared up (or should I say DOWN) and ready to go, so bring 'em on.  A little fuel tuning and it's ON.

Sorry we missed you, Bobber.  Hopefully we can get together next week, either for a group dinner or a weekend ride.

It was great to talk with you this morning, Cloner. Even though we were talking about rough stuff, I hung up the phone & smiled.  Thank you.

And Lorenzo, You rode like a badass in my class this morning.  40lbs. & counting guys.  He's taken on the "Eat Less/better, Move More" way of thinking...And it's working.
Always remember, Bubba.  If it was easy...Everyone would do it. 

What have the rest of you done for yourselves (or someone else in this tough time) today?

You're all you've got... Take care of it.

Don't know if you noticed yesterday but I've dropped about 15lbs in the wrong places and began putting it back in the right places myself. Started eating better about a month and a half ago. About 2 weeks ago I began working out again.I tell ya, I feel better... kinda starting to get that dangerous feeling back... like when I used to be a head buster.  [evil]

I've started along the same road as Lorenzo this week also.  Slow start at first and will ramp up later.  Eat better/move more.  ;)

And yes...skinny white boys do look alike.  It's a fact we usually don't share outside our Skinny White Boy club meetings.

Haven't told my Daughter yet, but I did promise her that she would know by this coming thursday....  Now to figure out how to do that.

Nic.... gorgeous.

As to the other, I stared getting healthy just to feel better about myself. Last night I decided to crank it up a notch. I gots me a pregnant dog to make jealous.  [evil]

Seriously, I've never been one to look back much and I don't know what possessed me(lesson learned anyway). But I pulled up the exs profile on facebook when I got bored and was out of shit to do before bed. Useless activity it's locked anyway but it showed a couple groups she belongs to right oon the main screen. One of them was "Ever look at your ex and wonder "was I drunk for the entire relationship""

Wow, seriously? That's some hurtful shit right there. Anyway I'm gonna use it Patriots style and hang it up in the locker room for motivation. Plus like I said I'm improving myself, she can continue to count on her looks and stupid men but 10 years from now lets take stock and see who comes out better.


In all fairness I was looking at her last week during the kid exchange and wondering why I used to think she was so hot... but then I didn't go join a group. Just seems kinda petty.


Sorry for the rant, it was just a little hurtful I needed to get the poison out. Welll this kinda shit is exactly the reason why I say she actually did me a favor by leaving, I wouldn't have done it. I'd stayed there miserable till Alyssa was outta school. Goodbye!

That's all I can say.

Also, ignorance is bliss.  Avoid the temptation to look next time.  You should get down on your knees and thank your loving Lord every day that you are being given a reprieve from a lifetime of that kind of attitude.  Who would post that knowing it might be seen?  Something very viscious underneath that airheaded exterior.  Sorry for your hurt, sweetie.  Glad you are feeling better.  You've got nothing to prove to any of us that know and care about you.

Meh, I'm over it now. Like you said why the hell was I looking anyway? I would never drive out of my way or hunt down an ex otherwise cause I frankly don't care. The temptation was just ten key strokes away and I did it before the brain engaged. Oh well, live and learn.

Random observations:

Whenever I see national weather on TV, no matter what station I'm watching, neither Albuquerque nor Santa Fe are shown. There's Dallas and there's Phoenix, and just the outline of New Mexico. What's up with that?

Once again, proof that living in New York can be thrilling, as a would-be terrorist attempts to set off a fire bomb in Times Square.

I've gotten a number of pm's asking about the bicycle racing, so figured i would give everyone...even those that don't give a crap  [laugh] the low down.

The Cali. race date was canceled due to some volcano eruption somethin' somethin'  ;D  and being held 2nd week in June, which is a very good thing for me, seeing as I fractured my scapula 2 weeks before.
The great news is, I'm feeling strong again (shoulder still a bit sore, but I'll live), working out like a freak, and got a new ride for the summer track season. Thank you Mitch & crew for believing in me, couldn't have done any of this without you.

this is my 1500m. sprint bike, which I plan on kickin' the crap outa' everyone on.
 She's a dirty little pregnant dog...

persuit bike with the carbon & magnesium cranks & stem off my daily rider at home. And for the couple of you that know, No, those are not the bars that will be used for that race. I plan on getting my ass handed back to me on this one, but damn she's sexy.  [laugh]

Saying anything: Barbara and I spent the weekend in Annapolis, MD, visiting her physicist daughter-in-law from Berkeley who was there for a conference. We toured the Naval Academy campus and spent a few hours in the museum. Also walked around the waterfront of the village. Seeing all those boats is motivating me to get my old sloop in the water soon.

there are two ways to apply force in any given direction. you can push or you can pull. this info is useful to you because you intend to push your bike into the air. it is also possible to hang it. the trellis frame makes it easy to tie off to if you decide to lift it instead.

Mouse is extending the whole concept of women and their make-overs... Cool.

This being the summer of my 65th birthday, I am trying to pack a few things that I've wanted to do for a while. One is that Barbara and I are attending DITR.

The other is that I am going to ride my '01 Monster from NY down to the Atlanta area to visit my grandkids in June. A friend from Ithaca, NY want to do it, and we're discussing the Blue Ridge Mts and the Tail of the Dragon and all those east coast riding meccas.

I will take pictures and keep a journal, though I doubt I can match the literary standard set last year by El Matador and Demolu.

I know I can revalve a Showa if he buys one like the one on your bike, DM.  The non-adjustable Showa can probably be made to behave well, too, but I know the adjustable one works well with a RaceTech Gold Valve kit and correctly sized springs, fresh oil, seals, and bushings.  It's a one-day project to rebuild them as long as you have all the parts in hand when you start.

Attention gearheads, speed freaks and hotrodders of the board: 

Saturday the 22nd will be the day of the "Hotrod Rumble" at the ABQ Dragway from 4PM-Midnight.  The last 2 of these they've had have had a great turnout and its a good time to watch the ol hotrods actually race instead of just sit there and look pretty. 

(No Flyer picture)

The following Saturday the 29th is the 10'th annual Rumbler Thunder carshow (pre '63).  It wont be in the same location as years passed.  This year it will be held in a parking lot on 3rd street and Silver.  Starts at 4PM with an after party at the Atomic Cantina.  there will also be a "Pre-Show Party" on Friday they 28th at 6:00pm at the Atomic Cantina.

so it`s been said to me that i really don`t hold much back and i`m not afraid to throw even the gnarly shit in my life out here on the board. i suppose that`s true, however there is reason for that. even though strangers i don`t know have access to this, it`s more important that the people i do know have that access as well. why here though? you all are my friends and at times we all need somebody to lean on... and facebook doesn`t work for that support because i still have a lot of mutual friends with my ex, who i don`t want to make feel awkward or like they are being forced to take a side. so you all end up being my support group. :P

interestingly awhile back in a fit of pique i posted thati was improving and that she was relying on naive males and her looks to get by.

lastnight the maid of honor from our wedding was having a "before i leave life celebration" (terminal cancer and a gut wrenching story itself) anyway i had our daughter who was getting restless so i went to the back of the church with her. it was then that i noticed my ex was sitting with a new guy... i asked her brother about him he`s 43 to her 25. nicely done drea. i`m glad to see that you are using your time to be introspective and maybe figure out some of the patterns that led to ours and other past relationship failures. there is some statisfation in being right. i`ve been promoted and she`s gone for a guy 10yr my senior and almost 20yrs hers.

anyway it was a weird mix of emotions but for some reason i`m having a hard time letting go of this step in our new lives it keeps running through my head to the point that it intruded on my sleep lastnight and was the first thing in my head before i was even fully awake.

it`s not like i haven`t seen anyone yet. i`ve been out a couple times. no one i would invite to an event of this sort though. which means she`s probably known this guy for awhile. ew.

it`s just weird cause on the one hand i really want her to do well and find a nice guy who`ll set a good example on how a man should treat a woman for my daughter`s sake. on the other hand i want her to fail and see that she make the beast with two backsed up and there aren`t a lot of guys out there who`d treat her as well as i did.

i guess ultimately i need to root for for her for my daugthers sake. sometimes it`s hard to get your pride out of the way though.

thanks for listening to my rant.

Being introspective and positive toward your Ex for the sake of your daughter is something I can wholly relate to.

I think you're on the right path as certainly your posting here has been (most likely) cathartic and you'll feel better and grow and move on from this.

Remember this:  Your daughter already has a great example of how a man should treat a woman......in how you treat your daughter.  [thumbsup]

thanks stew. and yes it has been catharic. often times i`ll realize things as i`m posting.

i know it`s important how i treat my girl. but if i don`t have to spend time trying to nullify bad examples set i`ll be time ahead in the game ya know.

i sometimes wish the ex just wasn`t around. she could run off to monte carlo with some rich skeeze and leave alyssa and i to live our lives without that influence... but that`d prolly make the beast with two backs some emotional shit up too. no easy answers man.

Post by: Duck-Stew on May 24, 2010, 06:33:27 AM
I know it's cathartic.....first hand.

Your daughter needs positive role models in her life....male and female.  Just keep hoping for the best for your ex despite it being rough or tiring.  I do the same but damn, damn, damn.....does it get hard somedays.

You're not in the boat alone man.

im sorry to hear that Scottish! of course i cant say that i know your feeling(since i have no kids) but i can tell u this...i grew up without a dad..and later finding out my dad didnt want anything to do with me...yet despite the fact he has 2 other kids now and yet still doesnt talk to me..
even having a male figure there is better then nothing and just know that you are a wonderful person [thumbsup] kind, loving,etc etc and that will rub off on her!

i dont know if i can say anything encouraging, but i do know from seeing you guys together that your a great dad [thumbsup]

and were always here if u need anything...i mean ANYTHING!
i know we can get matt to dress up like a princess and they can play together  [popcorn]

Emotions are strong forces that can act uncontrollably on our behavior. It's very easy to say that your life will be much better when you are past the emotion of the breakup. Time is also a strong force. You'll get there.

Another Say Anything: I'm starting to firm up my plans to ride from NY to the Atlanta area in late June. My friend Frank from Ithaca, NY and I have decided to meet in the Harrisburg, PA area and head south together from there. The basic trip will be Harrisburg to the Skyline Drive in Virginia, down to Ashville, NC, the Tail of the Dragon and into north Georgia. We are not in a particular hurry and we want to avoid slab-ways as much as possible. I do know that the Monster is not a great tourer, but it will do.

I'm soliciting suggestions in the General Forum, but I welcome all input.

Anson,

This is Pete from COS, now here in NM. I know it is pretty tough as I have been through some of those emotions. Went through some of what you are going through. I think you are very wise. I think if you treat your ex respectfully your daughter will learn much from that. I know you treated you ex very well Anson. I know that. She is the big loser in this. Be there for your daughter. I do hope whatever route your ex takes that she keep your daughter in mind first and your daughter is treated very well by whomever your ex winds up with. My sons are grown up as the last one graduated from high school last year but I just try to not say anything negative about their mom. I slip sometimes and I know it is difficult but your daughter will be the one gets the most benefit out of it. I think I can reasonably say my boys will say mom and dad acted civily to each other after the divorce. If you want to get hold of me your mother has my phone number.

Pete

i`m feeling better this pm took alyssa out fishing today and we had a grand time. no fish but a couple nibbles.

Good one, DM.  You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder....

That first session where you deal with seeing the ex with another is traumatic, no matter how it ended.  Even the amiable breakups leave a mark when you see them moving on, even if you have moved on yourself!   I don't think there is any way around that feeling, it's just part of the human experience.  Be glad that you are here to experience all of life's smorgasboard of emotions.  It is better than the alternative.  What don't kill you will make you stronger.  Hugs to you and Alyssa.

And you are surprised because...?  Jeeps are jokes on the highway (as you now know)  ;D.     
And there may be 4 or 5 dealerships (key word: Dealerships) in the country that are worth going to because they are drastically different....maybe 4...or 3... or...

You can definitely count the "special" dealerships on one hand.  I've been to most of 'em....so let's see.

BCM
Pro Italia
Fast by Ferracci

OK....I'm done, now.

Maybe you'd count NPR in Watkinsville, GA, just because of it's links to the old Cycle Specialties of Athens.  Maybe.

I begin my invasion of the Confederacy in 2 days. I will be riding from Long Island, NY to Harrisburg, PA to meet my friend Frank, who will be coming from Ithaca, NY. From there, we will wend our way through western Maryland into northern Virginia, stopping the first night in Front Royal. That will put us at the beginning of the Skyline Drive. The Skyline is a 105 mile ride and will leave us at the entrance of the Blue Ridge Pkwy.

I need to speak with El Matador, who has the experience and many good suggestions. We will go as far south as we can on Thursday on and off the BRP. Friday, we will get through Asheville, NC and on to Tenn via the Tail of the Dragon. From there, it's south to Blairsville, GA and will end at my daughter's home in Cumming, GA.

We haven't planned our return trip yet.

I will be riding my '01 M900 and Frank will be an '00 Honda Interceptor 800. It looks like our possible third will not be making the trip.

I will have my Blackberry, a camera  and my netbook, so I will try to post photos.

As I have said before, I will post about the ride, but I cannot promise that it will be as entertaining as Desmolu's and El Matador's opus of last summer.

I only lived in western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee for about 40 years, Nic.  I'm not sure I know any of the good roads in that area.   ;D

If you've got time whilst you're in the area of US 129 (Deal's Gap), you should try the Cherohala Skyway between Robbinsville, NC and Tellico Plains, TN.  Also, NC 28 from Deal's Gap through Franklin and Highlands all the way to Walhalla, SC is excellent (especially south of Highlands).  Warwoman road from 28 over to Clayton, GA is also good.  NC 215 from the BRP down to US 64 is excellent.  TN 68 southward from Tellico Plains to Blairsville, GA is lots of fun, too.  Also GA 60 from Morganton to Dahlonega is a blast....though watch for cops in that area.  If you go down 60 be sure to stop at TWO (Two Wheels Only) campground for the best hamburger within 100 miles.  Whilst you're there, ask about the "Cooler Loop" which encompasses 180 (Wolfpen Gap Road) and US 129 down Blood Mountain, both excellent roads!  (again, watch for LEOs).

Need I continue?  Let me know if I do.    ;D

Post by: nicrosato on June 21, 2010, 10:08:31 AM
Cloner- excellent, excellent tips. I figured on passing through Blairsville, because then it's a straight shot to Cumming, GA. We're in no particular hurry, so we will be on the lookout for enjoyable places to ride.

I need to think about the Virginia portion of the trip. We'll be starting in Front Royal Thurs morning and heading down the Skyline. El Matador says no way we can make Asheville, NC by Thurs night. So, I need a reasonable destination to reach in one long day of riding twisties and stopping at scenic overlooks.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Cloner on June 21, 2010, 11:12:04 AM
You can easily do it in a day if you're just trying to get there...but why would you? 

Try Roanoak (the start of the BRP) or Hillsville for a stop in Virginia, or Mt. Airy, NC on the NC/VA border if you want to get that far.  Mt. Airy is the little town Mayberry was patterned after in the Andy Griffith Show.   ;D

US Highway 58 between Damascus, VA and Independence, VA is one of my favorite stretches of asphalt in the world!  From Hillsville, VA (on the BRP) you can take US 221/58 to Damascus, then Route 133 south to Shady Valley, NC, then go back eastward on US 421 and join US 321 through Boone, then jump back onto the BRP at Blowing Rock, NC if you want a good loop to ride just for the fun of it.  If you mess up and stay on US 321 for about 40 miles you'll end up at Hickory, NC where I was hatched.  If you mess up like that, stop and say "Hi" to Mom for me.   ;D

On a side note:  My Nightster will be returning to NM w/me when I come back from SoCal...  So, I'll have two bikes.  --sigh--  If'n that payment wasn't so high I'd just keep that sucker.

But, at this point, since I'm still a little upsidedown on it...I'll just keep on:  [moto]

Tread says, say anything, right?

MUTHA' F U C K I N ' SQUIDS!!!

So, I'm pulling into a parking lot in my 350, a guy wearing a sleeveless t-shirt (really, Billy Ray), no helmet, on a Gixxer, cuts a corner to get in before me, I notice his tire looks like the base of a Hexagon, chicken strips at least 2".  I walked up to him as he was putting a disk lock lock on his front wheel (here is where I realize, he is, without a doubt, a genius), and ask "Where did you find training wheels for your bike?". I started to explain, but realized I was wasting precious oxygen on this douche bag. About that same time, he said " You're just make the beast with two backsin' Jealous, Bro"

Whoever you are...  I'm  not  your  make the beast with two backsin'  bro.

Drawing was 2 hours ago. TONS of people where there. Hayden pulled Jeffrey Jones of San Luis Obispo, CA. He wasn't there so Hayden called him on the phone - didn't answer so Nicky left him a message. Pretty good message, "Hey man, this is Nicky Hayden. You just won a Desmosedici! This isn't one of your friends messing with you either!"

The high def video is being edited now and will be up before morning.

From my vantage point.

"Oh this jacket? yeah its my parka, its thick and make me look like I'm built, I figure since its so poofy it'll make crashin hurt less, but u know, I aint gonna crash none cause I'm dope shit yo!"   [bang] 
Stew, Krys, Matt... Tell me you know who I'm talking about..  If you saw him, you know you couldn't help but laugh to yourself as he rode by.. 
that will be all.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Duck-Stew on August 01, 2010, 07:39:47 AM
Yup, not only did we see him, but his 'dope ass' rode S14 same as us.  We stopped at the bottom to let a gap develop, then I stopped once before the mailboxes (forgot where we normally stop), so by the time we rode by they 'dope asses', they were laughing & pointing thinking that we were really that slow yo...  F'n squids.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Cloner on August 01, 2010, 05:32:26 PM
A couple of points......

1)  They're squids.  Who cares what they think?
2)  Just 'cause they're squids doesn't mean they're not fast.  There are fast squids.  They typically don't last as long as slow squids.  Wonder if there's a correlation?
3)  Ride your ride, ESPECIALLY in the presence of squids.  Don't let the tentacles flapping within your field of vision blind you to the truth that riding outside of YOUR comfort zone is folly.
4)  You know it's not a race.  I know it's not a race.  The squids think it's a race (just in case you care what the squids are thinking).  See #3 above for clarification.
5)  Fast squids are still squids.  Squids will take you out (and take themselves out in the process) to "win".
6)  They're squids.  Who cares what they think?

I could give a rat's ass less what someone who cares so little about himself as to ride at any real pace without reasonable safety precautions thinks.  In fact, I'd just as soon not have anyone I care about even remotely associated with these unsafe, uncaring, unsophisticated, pieces of crap.  Do me a favor and steer clear of classless losers of this ilk.  I'd hate to think that one of you got hurt, or worse killed, over someone like this.

I've tried to educate these types on several occasions to be laughed at and ridiculed.  In fact, I was called a pussy by a squid who berated me for caring, then turned around and mounted his Gixxer to wad it seconds later doing a stand-up wheelie out of the parking lot.  I always wondered if he felt foolish lying in the hospital missing half his skin with a sizeable chunk missing from his face (he wore a skid lid, as Tennessee has a helmet law...so he HAD to wear something...it probably saved his miserable life).  Next time I saw him he had given up riding because it was "too dangerous".  I asked him which of us was the real pussy, as I've wadded several times to his once, and of course he had to admit that leathers aren't so stupid after all.  Unfortunately, the only way most of these invulnerable idiots learn is by serious injury.  Don't let them learn at your expense!

That's my 2 cents worth....plus a little change.

Yep, hate to admit it but I'm a bit snobbish as to who I'll ride with. I never did go riding with my ex-brother-in-law. He wrecked more than he rode, I honestly wanted to teach him some things but he was incapable of riding within his limits. I know he ran into other riders on several occassions too.... nice kid just kinda scary.


Another thing to remember about riding in your limits: limits should be constantly reassessed though out the day.

I'm not as sharp when I hop on as I will be an hour into the ride. Nor will I be as shrp after 4hrs of riding as I was when I was an hour in.

Back in NY... Besides the fact it's very green here compared to ABQ, and also very humid, it was the scream of the seagulls this morning that made me realize where I was. Anyway...

My latest thought is that I should have my '01 M900 out in New Mexico. It's better at the type of riding I'm trying to do there with you all- it's quicker and more agile than the '97. So, now I'm thinking I may ride it out there in the Spring, then ride the '97 to Florida and leave it there. I'm trying to sell my '97 H-D Superglide that's in FLA now. The last thing would be to buy something I could use as a commuter here in NY.

This plan gives me 7 or 8 months to gather some money.

I'm really liking the idea of a (nearly) cross-continental ride. maybe in April or May. Spend some time in ABQ, then ride on over to Cape Coral. Of course, it would be ideal to buy a bike in Florida and ride it north.

But, I'm thinking about my buddy's 916 as my NY bike.

Decisions, decisions...



Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: nicrosato on August 16, 2010, 12:00:31 PM
As an invitation, would any of you consider riding from New Mexico to Florida next spring? Of course, you'd have to ride back alone, as I will go north one way or another.

I think I found my next bike, a machine that would be the perfect candidate to ride from NY to ABQ next Spring- a '99 ST-4 with 9000 miles on it. It belongs to a wealthy guy who frequents the same shop as I do (I've spoken with him several times). He is the original owner and the bike is in perfect mechanical condition. Comes with hard bags and even a detachable backrest. Asking price is $5900. Joe Toturro, the shop owner, has the bike at his shop. He says the owner is negotiable on price and on terms of payment. I need to sell my Harley in Florida before I can buy this bike.

How wealthy is Phil, the owner? Well, his purchases over the last year were a Streetfighter, a Multistrada and a Biomota DB-7.

This would be my first experience with a 4v, water-cooled Duc. Any comments on these bikes?

Oddly, the closest I've been to a hurricane was at Indy MotoGP 2 years ago.. and I'm sure that was just the outskirts/aftermath of the actual hurricane that we were dealing with.  It was bad enough that they called the race about 10 laps short.  I'll stick to my tumbleweeds and sand dunes thank you very much!  Dryness makes for less rust!   ;D

As usual, the tv-weather talking heads were disbursing paranoia about Hurricane Earl like LSD at a late-60's Grateful Dead show. What we got was gray skies and drizzle on Friday evening, nothing but sunshine since. It was very windy yesterday: We sailed across Long Island Sound to Port Chester, NY and back to Glen Cove in 20-knot+ winds (you know, boat heeled over, rails in the water- like doing a tight twisty at high speed pn a Duc).

The train took out two cows this morning outside of San Felipe, turning one into ground beef, & launching the other up & over a ditch/arroyo that was a good 50 yards. Not quite the one that jumped the moon, but pretty impressive.

Well, I know I don't frequent the board a lot and probably a whole lot of the high desert hooligans don't remember me but I met the gang last year to get my t-shirt and get back to work before they missed me.  Had the dark 696 and met the mouse and hp and kawboy and some of the others in the 5 minutes I had to chat at Wild wings.

Anyhoo, I crashed the Blackbird on June 16th.  Had her slowed down to about 40 when the front locked up and I high-sided at the base of the Sandia Mtns.  Totalled the bird, black plastic everywhere, antifreeze and gasoline littering the street.  She's dead and going to a buddy in Texas who makes quads out of them...

I broke my fibula and just got out of the cast and am back at work.  Gear definitely saved my life.  My helmet took the first impact and the road made some nice grinding of the kevlar or whatever was under the paint.  Face shield got some grinding too.  I pulled my boots off before the paramedics got there and saved them, lol.  They cut off everything else.

Best guess is that I hit a patch of sand just before I was going to let go of the brake and start the turn.  Locked the front tire and got pitched.  Just as I started the downhill run I was just thinking I probably should get new tires, the old ones kinda looked like this...

\__|\__|---|__/|__/

The rear tire of course didn't cause it, but I was pretty sure that I needed new tires and I probably shouldn't be pushing her too hard until I got them replaced.

I got the clean bill of health Wednesday and went to see See Steve and determined I can shift, albeit painfully.  I'm down to my old GPZ550 as my only bike which I guess I will trade in for another Duc when I can squeeze my swollen ankle back into my boots.

So, TOSAT, y'all be safe out there and wear your gear.  Also, if you are able to stay conscious when the paramedics arrive, keep them laughing and they might be kind enough to take pictures of the carnage with your cell phone while they strap you to a back board.

PS... Don't pass out or they take you to UNMH.  They left me in road gravel for hours, even thru x-ray and getting wheeled to my little room waiting for the bone doc to put the splint on my leg so I could leave.  When my gf got there I told her I had a present for her and handed her a pile of gravel I picked out of my bed.  They are quite liberal with the application of morphine though  [drool]

Hey..ain't that a common feeling with any profession...? I always wonder, with all the technology and growth, we still have a system of slavery and everyone needs to work for a living...we seldom get to do what we want to do...Shouldn't our goal be to get rid of the slavery to money?

Have you considered going to school to get a specialized degree in something you like? My specialization in fluid dynamics is very diverse and has significant opportunities...I have been considering a PhD in Imperial College, London in Race vehicle aerodynamics for ages...Wish I could afford it! I have had to sit and think on what I like to do many times in my career...One time, it was through a long 4-day motorcycle trip to CO from OH! Wish you the best friend! [thumbsup]

I think my biggest hurdle at this point isn't so much that I want to change careers, its WHAT career to change to!  I'm all for going back and getting a degree, be it business, engineering, architecture, etc..  (most certainly not English grammar in typing or writing..)  I think if I can figure out what direction I want to take myself in, That will be the biggest hurdle I have to jump.  (That and, figuring out how to pay for schooling AND child care at the same time)  Thank's to everyone who's had some input so far!  I want to make the change, just have to figure out the end result first! (or, at least a general direction to head in)

Thoughts:
1- if you can, change jobs. Doesn't matter what the new job is (assuming the compensation is adequate) and you will begin to get some idea of what you might like or dislike. You might even take a part-time job to see what you discover about other fields.
2- what are your personal interests? Any of them- besides wrenching- present the possibility of earning a living?

Going to school unless you have a clear goal is a waste of time and money.

Accumulate general skills- computer use, for instance. Knowledge and information are power.

Some of you know her, Some don't..  But My wife Keri is going in for surgery tomorrow to have her gall bladder removed.  Its inflamed, Full of stones and giving her the sensation someone is stabbing a butcher knife into her sternum from the backside.  (which subsided after 8 hours or so.. viva drug intervention)   More than anything we're scared for the baby right now due to the anesthesia.  I have all the faith in the world that both of them will do just fine.  For Keri and the babies sake, we could use all of the extra thoughts and prayers anyone could give at this point.  I'm pushing the "up for 24 hours on 30 minutes sleep, after being up for 16 hours before that" point, I'm approaching delirious and I'm going to bed. Thanks everybody!

Words to live by, and remember....from Honda:


1962 Safety Rules from Honda;

Taken from a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Owner's Manual.
Translated by Honda for the American Motorcycle Rider

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly.
Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn

trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage,

tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take
fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him.

Go soothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport
in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the
skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around
the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.

First of all, good to hear, Wayne, that your wife is on the mend and that things were handled in time.

One of the nice things about living in NY: My friend Rob, sailing buddy & fellow guitar hack, is a Broadway stagehand. He's working on a new show, "Lombardi", about the football coach. It opens Oct. 21, but tonight was a public dress rehearsal/ preview and he got us tickets. Train ride into Manhattan, meet the Barbster, and spend an enjoyable night at the theater.  The funny lines went mostly to Judith Light, who plays Lombardi's wife and whom many of you will recognize from tv.

You may also note that I am posting more, mostly due to a lack of steady work and my motivation to get to 500 posts. I will not post trash, however, just to build up my count... Unless I have to respond to one of kingbaby's trashy posts.

Aww c'mon now! Its been around an in use since WWII.. you can't tell me it doesnt go with vintage!  but yes.. the bottle would be easily detected, so we must re-make one of the frame tubes, seal it off, and use it as a N2O storage unit.   ;D

Note to self:  Crest road becomes an entirely different ball game when the sun goes down!  Went as high as the ski area tonight, After that Pucker factor took over and I decided to slowly turn around and go back down. 
I remember cursing all the way to Santa Fe few years back when I had this great idea to ride to Crest on my 999 after work...Started downhill post sunset and it was more like ice skating down! I was lucky to be alive...slow and fast was both scary! Plus, it was my newbie chicken strip days...The 999 light would have made a BIG BLACK BEAR look like a bee! Since then, no riding to Crest under starlight!

Public acknowledgment to Duck-Stew & Cloner for their efforts in bringing Big Red, my '97 Monster, back from the brink of non-operational status to which my various malfeasances had brought her. She's running great, looks real purty, and smells nice, too.

It's coming... Three more and I'm a hero.

Anyway, this has been, like always, a delightful trip to Albuquerque. New York is my home, but I consider the little house on Jupiter St. home, too. It's always fun hanging with you guys: This is a diverse group in terms of age and interests (and probably religion and politics and financial status and education and everything else) united by our love of the eccentric Italian motorcycles. I have no riding buddies back on Long Island; I do meet people when hanging around the SuperMoto Italia shop, but I ride alone. And it's a completely different type of riding experience- traffic, not a lot of open road. I ride more in NY, since I'm apt to ride to see clients, or run errands, or go down to the water: My '01 Monster is transportation.

Barbara and I fly back to NY Sunday We haven't made plans for our next trip yet, but my sense is that I'll be back within the next few months.

as if I don't have enough crap to do...  I just bought a 2003 DS1000 engine to stuff into a '96 SS900 frame I have to make a bike out of hopefully by spring.  41mm flat-slide carbs, aftermarket ignition box, stripped down.  Think 90hp and about 340lbs...

I was influenced (positively or negatively remains to be seen) by the scoot I had on GratefulDuc's '93 SS900 and the fond memories of the two carbed SS's I've had (and the 1 injected one) and the numerous SS's I've rode and test-rode for customers over the years.

I plan on making it a daily-rider, crest-burner, track-bike with a plate.  Something that I can push on without fear of financial devastation should something go awry.  My beloved Cafe-Racer, OTOH...  I would commit Hari-Kari should that f*&ker go down...   :o

I shared this with a few of you when I was last in Albuquerque: Unbeknown to me, I suffered a heart attack sometime in the recent past. Given my fatigue level when I first got to Ouray, it was probably before then. Anyway, I had a stent put in the other day and hopefully my energy level will pick up.

My main medical issue has been sciatic pain which began while I was in Albuquerque last month. Never had it before, nor any type of back problems. It is very distracting. I started seeing a chiropractor (another first) and seem to be improving slowly.

This is all significant because my plan is still to purchase an ST$ and ride it from NY to Albuquerque sometime next spring.

Nic, sounds bad, please take care of the ticker...morning walks, fresh air, exercise, stretches, perhaps even Yoga. Molly teaches Yoga and I can ask her to help you with some simple poses and regulated breathing. Wish you the very best and you are always an inspiration to be doing what you do well.

Stew and Cloner will  be invaluable in suggesting mods both aesthetic and performance.

Pam will make sure he stays well-fed and Karl can always rustle up an extra ride if Michael is without one.

And that's "Yankee fan", to be precise.

Finally sold my '97 Superglide today here in Cape Coral, FL. Got a lot less than I wanted, but there are lots of used Harley's for sale here in South Florida (because of all us old guys, I guess), so it's a buyer's market.  I do believe the buyer is going to put some money and effort into customizing it and I asked him to send me pix when it's done.

My problem was actually double sicknesses.  I had a SEVERE migraine-like headache/bodyache/no energy disease for about two weeks and I'm still getting over it.  After our outing this weekend, both Ashley and I got the puking/diarrhea disease for a couple of days.  Which one did you get?  If the first, it's probably my fault.  If the later, we should all blame Stuart...he hasn't had it so he must be the carrier!!!   ;D

21-hour straight drive from Cape Coral (temps in high 70's) back to Long Island (low 20's). The bad news when I got back was a report from our neighbors in Albuquerque that pipes had burst in our house on Jupiter St. Some damage to the kitchen and the spare room we use for the grandkids' bedroom. Given the amount of burst pipes in New Mexico this winter, we will not be able to get an insurance adjuster in for several weeks. Barb's son also told us that the companies that specialize in restoration after water damage are also backed up.

It looks like I will be coming down in a few weeks and spending about a month overseeeing work. Hopefully, ABQ will be warmer than NY then.

it hasnt been much warmer...well at least these last few days...todays high is in the low 30's

but the weather people say its suppose to get back up into the 50's...I'll believe it when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet

but who knows...

people just dont know how to deal/prepare for weather like this and it has been in sane

Not Ducati related....not New Mexico related....but definitely motorcycle related:

In 1923, Who Was:

1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street?

In their day, these men were considered some of the worlds most successful.

Now, 88 years later, we ask what ultimately became of them.


The Answers:


1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab,

died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson,

went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE,
Richard Whitney,

was released from prison to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger,

died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of
the Bank of International Settlement,

shot himself.

6 The Great Bear of Wall Street,
Cosabee Livermore,

also committed suicide


However,
In that same year, 1923,
the winner of the worlds most important road race, the Isle of Man T.T., was
Stanley Woods.

What became of him?

He won 10 T.T. races between 1923 and 1939,
He lived on the Isle of Man and rode motorcycles all his life.
He lapped the island circuit at 82 mph in 1957 (The Golden Jubilee) aged 54
He was a wealthy man when he died aged 90.

The Moral:


F*** work.
Ride motorcycles.

That's hilarious Karl.  Not the racing part, but you in Pams shoes.  [cheeky] And yeah, funny thing, Euros I've known like all that goofy racin'.  It's the Americans that took on a huge motorcycle payment that now think they're "2 cool for school".

For the record on my end... The race was make the beast with two backsin' awesome!!!

Edit: I think they call themselves Ducatista's.   17yrs. off & on in DFW area (born in Fort Worth) & high school in Northern NM, The only time I may have seen that word was on a Pizza Inn/Hut menu.

I'd be curious if they change up the super bike model in 2012.  Since 07 the x98 really hasnt changed a ton.  They added a slipper (welcome to this century Ducati) and traction control....but the rest has really been more marketing bling (limited edition paint).


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: Cloner on March 17, 2011, 11:08:02 AM
All the scuttlebutt is that there will, indeed, be a replacement for the xx98 model out later this year for use in racing as a 2012 model.  Rumors point to a twin, still 90° vee, but with the cylinders rotated rearward 90° from their current positions so that the engine can move forward, and with VERY oversquare bore/stroke dimensions....like 2:1, with a rev ceiling approaching 20k in racing trim and 17k in street trim, churning out well over 200 hp.

Keep an eye out!

Maybe I'm just not seeing the thread, or it was sent in PM's, but, Dylan just told me there is a release party at the (your) dealership tonight @5:30.

Scott, I'd imagine you posted it here somewhere. 

And while I'm on this thread...Kawboy!!! Where are you?...Damnit! I need someone to go on a ride that crosses a state line with....or at least three counties.  I did do Tombestone, Bisbee (to see my buddy & custom builder Pat Kennedy) Tucson & up through Show low recently, & felt like I left the country.  [laugh]  FYI: The 82mls of twisties were as clean as the last trip a few of us took.

OK- so we've had more rainy days than sunny ones and no real warm temps for any length of time, but springtime here in the Northeast is always beautiful. The azaleas have blossomed around our house, ranging from vibrant reds to strawberry pink, with the whites and one yellow mixed in. The magnolia has already lost its blossoms and the forsythia is gone for a few weeks, but it is still a riot of color here.  And, of course, the pervasive green- trees and bushes and grass.

That said, I am hoping this work project comes through and allows me to spend a month in northern New Mexico. And, a chance to see my mates.

Maybe we should try to do a week around DIMBY next year or something?  We could attend DIMBY (Ducati In My Back Yard.....down near LA at SacDuc's abode), then take a relaxed ride up the California coast and back to Albuquerque with stops planned at strategic locations along the way.  I, personally, have a weak spot for Yosemite, but that's just me.

Where should we go?

Yosemite?
Half Moon Bay?
Fisherman's Wharf?  (and Munroe whilst we're in SF)
Laguna Seca?  (if there's a race or something....maybe another California track if there's a race we can wrangle into the schedule)
San Luis Obispo?
Pismo Beach?
Sequoia?
Las Vegas?  8)
Lake Tahoe?
Reno?

Who's got the "killer route"?

When the Duc's paid off in a year n a half.. I may just have to take you up on that! Thank's for the offer!   However, if my wife finds out I'm in the market for a new bike.. I may need a place to crash permanently!   :-\
Did some research on those ol RSV4's..  They have plastic tanks from the same company that makes Ducati's.. and guess what?? They expand.  Good grief.

Train commute was one thing I hated about NY life every time I visited my sister in Yonkers! Now, it dragged me to it in NM. But I have plans: Here it goes...Dish TV told me that I can upgrade my DVR to 922 or 722 with slingshot adapter to make my race recordings Wifi compatible! This means I get to watch my F1, MotoGP, AMA 450 Supercross/Motocross, WSBK, Car Warriors without having to negotiate TV time...Hell we can have popcorn and watch it together- what say NMMR!?!  [popcorn]  [beer]  [clap]

A pleasant holiday weekend. Spent Saturday afternoon hanging around Super Moto Italia, the Ducati dealer I patronize. The owner is the mechanic (and an excellent one) and a former racer, and he has loyal following who like to congregate in his small dealership  like it's a clubhouse. Leaned more about Bimoto ECU's than I thought possible.

Took the old sloop out for the first sail of the summer yesterday with Barbara and her granddaughter who's visiting from ABQ. Was able to stay on the boat to watch the fireworks which are shot off from a barge a few hundred yards away. Always a spectacle.

And today I begin a stretch of revenue-producing projects, the first in a long-time. Thank goodness.

Oh- I turn 66 this week. Another forgettable mile-stone.

So after 6 months down.. Then 2 weeks of riding.. Then another month down.. The bike is finally back in ridable status.  I road it to work today.. Making various random checks to make sure I didn't miss or skip anything.  I know I don't really have a gauge for this, but I have a sneaking suspicion that my testosterone levels jumped up higher with every WFO gear change I made.  Opening the throttle going around corners made me smile like a kid at Christmas.  Oh bike, How I've missed your sweet sweet song...  Now if I can only find time to finish this damn exhaust system....

some make the beast with two backsing yahoo, decides to just pull out in front of me again (left hand turn), i got super freaked cause it didn't look like he was gonna stop(and it was gonna be another injury i dont want)...but he did stop right in the middle lane, and luckily i had enough room to get around him  :-\

now i'm all freaky paranoid about people making turns in front me  :-\

oh god! I couldn't even imagine riding in NY or LA...

It's just crazy, I was thinking about when i first started driving we didn't have cell phones or much of any distraction while driving. we had to pay attention to the road. Now we have a whole new generation and thats all they know to do, talk on the phone or txt while driving  :-\

You haven't experienced sharing the road with squadrons of older people until you ride in Florida.

Old is relative anyway, depending on your physical condition. I think I'm an OK rider- have actually gotten better in the last few years- and I'm 66. And, I believe Ed, who is an excellent rider, is actually a little older than I am.

The traffic thing means there are more cars and trucks on the roads and, as a result, more morons.

Oh, & I'm TOTALLY ready for a vacation...  So far this week I'm over 100 hrs & I'm still @ work...


WHOOPS!  Make that 90+ hours...

UGH!

As long as you are man enough to ride a S4RS with a new front shoe, new fork seals and a recent 15k service you are welcome to run her up to Ouray and back ;D

Hey, Stew- You could always take an air-cooled, 2v, carbureted M900 for the trip. I'd have no problem with that.

Feels odd after 11 1/2 weeks to be leaving NV.

The project's NOT over, but there's a strong likelihood I won't be returning.

Say!  What's everyone doing this weekend?  Anything noteworthy going on?!?

I was at MotoAuthority yesterday and Steve tracked your package via UPS' tracking system while I waited.  They claim it will be delivered today.  If so, just wheel the old girl over and we'll get it done while you wait.  Bring Matt if you can.  I miss Matty.    :'(

.....It also means that when you get a radar signal and brake hard, you will have to think about some hard riding son-of-a-gun who is just 4 feet behind you, hitting you from the rear.....   [roll]

I'm pretty sure that he can afford my bike...  Heck, I don't even have any Carbalumiumalloy on it....!  But it does have a lot of very flat, Colorado bugs on it, if that ups the value any...

JJ,
I bought the 9500IX and I'm happy with it, the 8500 will do just fine. You can get a cable made by Hallmark Cable across from Cycle Gear on Cutler for $20. It will connect to the battery tender lead without having to cut or splice into any wiring and hook right up. Make sure you specify total length and they will even attach a fused link.
You will also need a mounting platform for the detector.
Looking forward to having you run interference with the new gadget.  [clap]

Well, it appears my Ouray staircase 'get-off' has fairly severly F'd up my ankle...

Went in for x-rays today, won't know the outcome for 1-2 days.

Doc did mention words like 'fracture, strain, contusion, and break' though...

We'll see....

BTW, I have it on good authority that there are now 149 of the 848 NH's running around.

Well, I managed to drop my bike this morning. Combination of being tired from PT and not paying attention, water from a sprinkler system, and painted lines in my apartment's parking lot led to me locking the front brake. Looks to me like only cosmetic damage, I dented the tank a bit and scratched my bar end a bit, don't see any leaks, and I think I may have pushed the rear brake lever in a little bit. Fortunately I was only going 10mph.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~

I run a cordless Escort Solo S2, & it has saved many of our asses many times.  Me get nervuuuuus with all those fancy wires.    [laugh]

And what the fvck? I thought no one hit the deck this year.  After two broken ankles & one very bad sprain(the worst), I feel for ya' Stu.   :'(

DJD, My rolling into the garage step/walk off was a $5,800 "Ah shit!". *Knocking on wood...and my head...Hard*. I've haven't crashed in 30yrs of street riding (must be the invisible titanium training wheels), but, it sucks when you see your "Baby" passed out on the floor fo sho.  Hope it is all an easy fix.

Post by: DonJuanDucati on August 24, 2011, 10:55:40 AM
Honestly, I don't replace things if they don't bother me. The damage to the bar end, peg and rear brake lever are ignorable. The dent in the tank is not. Not sure how much it'll take to fix that though. Hopefully there isn't anything else wrong with it. I did take it up to 85 on the freeway, and no wobbles, so I don't think I messed up the alignment any, and still no leaks, so I may be in the clear.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: kingbaby on August 24, 2011, 11:37:21 AM
My front brake lever broke mid way back & rear brake peddle bent in just a bit ( Which is WAY better than the orig position was). Those were my only reel issues. Cfiber & forged wheels is some spendy candy though.  Thank you State Farm.


...You get what you pay for.

.... So, KB,

if  "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"  

.....does that mean that "he" is actually riding 2 feet behind me, rather that the 4 feet that that made me take notice.....?   [Dolph]

.... Or am I simply making the mental, mirror calculation that it's 4 feet, but it's really 8 feet?   Of course, 8 feet is still an "interesting" distance at velocities of 196 ft/sec.  

If I hit the brakes and change the relative closing rate between us to "only" 88 ft/sec, that 8 feet leaves 0.091 seconds to respond.   Given that the average human reaction time from stimulus to the start of a responsive action is between 0.60 and 0.75 seconds, this means nobody could avoid the collision with my tail,  ....unless they are riding offset and simply blow by me on one side or the other and hit the object that I am trying to avoid.

.....hmmmmm     [coffee]

Optimism: Those calculations are based on some stationary brains overly optimistic analytical skill and logical reasoning...considering at 196ft/sec the human brain evolves to cheetah brain...working at pure relaxation state, devoid of supervisor intrusion & simply opportunistic state....I bet a 3rd dimension is opened and a skewed plane created...a second is a myth...a fraction of a second is a possiblity...an Angstrom-second is an opportunity!

Hurricane paranoia is going full-tilt here in the East. It's supposed to pass right over us sometime tonight. Not much we can do except sit & watch & listen. We're on a hill, so we have no concern about flooding. On the other hand, our house is in the woods, so there will be branches and trees possibly coming down... Keeping the chain saw sharp. And, of course, there will be the inevitable loss of electricity.

Even by New York standards, this has been quite a week. First the earthquake (I did not feel it while I was working in my home office on the 2nd floor, but the guy who lives in the basement definitely felt it). Now, the hurricane.... Err, tropical storm. Lots of rain & wind, but no serious damage here.  As I said, we're on a hill and we're 6 or 7 miles from the North Shore of Long Island, so flooding was not an issue. The yard is littered with leaves & branches. We did not lose electricity. We may be seeing the sun in a few hours.

The goat was Tom's idea... I kept telling him "No, Tom, no goats! Get sheep!!" but he insisted...

I can't remember exactly if the sign of the higher evolution of man is co-habitating with goats or sheep.

I logged on before work this morning hoping for word of this safari. Having ridden through some of that part of the country last year, I think the rides there are as good as anywhere I've seen so far in the Southwest. Yes, Mouse, it would be a great thing to make a trip out of it for the Hooligans some time.

Having had a nor'easter blow through here yesterday with cold rain & snow, and having to endure it in the morning in moving my sailboat from its mooring about a mile to the boat yard where it resides on land for the winter, I decided to look at the November weather in ABQ. Looks like lots of sunny days with afternoon temps in 60's & 70's. I am so ready to looking to our arrival on the 17th.

 There is an interesting cable channel on vehicles mostly cars and many times motorcycles on HD theater, now called Velocity channel...Dish TV 5710. The show called Cafe Racer is super interesting...lot of folks here would love it! They rebuild vintage and new cafe racers...there are motorcycle auctions! The next 30 minutes today is on rebuilding a street cafe racer outta our loved 1098 aftr a track high side...the previous one was engine performance and how to redesign squish on an old Norton engine for power...I am glued!!!

Stu, Scott, Wayne, Karl, Ed...this is fun!


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: DucDog on November 17, 2011, 07:29:11 PM
On Comcast the channel number for Velocity is 225.  Cafe' Racer is on tonight (Thurs.)  The show is fun to watch.  Some of the builders are quite creative.   [thumbsup]   It sure beats watching another chopper get built for a big company's annual picnic.  I also like the lack of artificial drama between the folks in the shops.  The interactions seem more realistic.  There's only so much that I can take about the feud between Sr. and Jr. on OCC.    [thumbsdown]

The Cafe' Racer show does make it look easy to build a bike or restore/repair one.  The truth for me is that some problems take days, weeks or even months to solve.   Finding the right parts can also take a big bite out of your schedule.  But problem solving is one of the attractions of the hobby.  Lots of "one-off" stuff gets dreamed up, developed and built by Scott, Stu, me and many others who do this kind of work.   [coffee]

If you race one of these old bikes, the whole dynamic gets speeded up by a factor of 10!  Things have to get fixed by the next race or you don't race.   It can quickly turn into a real job.  But, it is great fun too and I know that many others enjoy racing, track days, and building/modifying their two wheeled machines.  ..... Happy wrenching, wenching...?, TV watching and motoring... To all!   ;D

I think I have every episode on my DVR, for what that's worth.   ;D

Wait until the end of the year if you want a real Ducky suprise.  They'll do a spot on Rich Lambrechts' "Cafe 31" project.  It's a 900 bevel drive Ducati in a heavily modified 860 GT frame.  There is a picture or two of it in my Barber portfolio.  It's terribly small!  The Bostrum brothers took it out and beat it up at Talladega GP Raceway and pronounced it "perfect"!  It has modern superbike suspension bits grafted onto an old frame with tons of bevel horsepower.  Ooooh-la-la!!!   [Dolph]

I can't stop laughing at this...  [laugh]

Last wednesday night I was headed down I25, northbound around 70mph in my trusty ol Stratus.. Just cruising along in the left lane.  There were 2 cars behind me, and a single headlight behind them.  I, being semi decent, decided to move over into the middle lane and let them pass.  I see the single headlight bounce over to the middle, then right lane. It then passed the car behind me, swooped behind me, then back over to the left so it could pass me.  I heard it.. the tell tale Blahhhhhhh of a single cylinder engine.  Thought Maybe an enduro? Dual sport? KLR?  Nope. Imagine my shock as I looked over and saw a black full faced helmet, bomber jacket, cream colored khaki's and a white Vespa.  I'm still doing 70 and thinking WTF? They go that fast??  It very slowly pulled up beside me. I kept looking over in disbelief.  Then, It happened.  The rider dropped over into a full tuck.. (a full Vespa tuck that is..) and somehow it gave him that last little bit of aerodynamic edge he needed to pull ahead of me, swoop over through the middle lane and onto the San Mateo offramp.  I lost it.  Seeing someone tuck on a Vespa was just about the funniest thing I've ever come across while driving on the freeways.  Could not stop laughing and I still get a kick out of telling the story.  Who knows.. Maybe he had a HC piston and a full Ti exhaust?  Maybe Vespa, Being Italian, uses Termignoni's too??   [laugh]

44 inches of snow right now, some parts are kind of icy because it's getting into the 40s at noon and then freezing over at night. 100% of the mountain is open. I had a great time, some people have built up some pretty good jumps if you're into that and want to look for them.

Holler if you need anything.

It's getting boring here on the west coast of Florida, what with the sun shine everyday and the temps hovering around 80. It's the type of weather that makes one think about riding but then you make note of the behavior of most of the drivers; you recall the fact that Florida is the flattest state in the Union and most of the roads go straight for 80 m9iles, and not riding is easier to take.

I compromised and bought a used bicycle.

Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: DonJuanDucati on January 28, 2012, 08:00:18 AM
What kind of camera is it? I've mounted mine behind the windscreen on my monster, you get good engine noise and not a lot of wind noise (even at 100+mph), plus its a stable mount and you can mess with the camera without getting off the bike. Also with the gopro I have, the field of vision is large enough to see your instruments and controls, which is interesting. Mounting on the tail is great too, I've mounted it backwards and forwards so I could see myself in the video. With it mounted on the tail you don't get any wind noise really and lots of great exhaust noise. Sounds awesome!  [thumbsup]

Edit: Hey Scott, when would be a good time to swing by, if I did on Sunday?

So I took the bike out for a bit this morning..  A bit too long aparently.  Nail in the back tire.  Nail out of the back tire.  Flat back tire..  :'( Made for a good workout rolling it around though, and pushing it up the ramp onto the truck. Holy flippin crapsickle bikes get hard to push on flat rubbers.  Hopefully its patchable.  I need a few hundred more miles out of that thing. The nail hit almost dead center. Blah.  Back into the garage..

Barb & I completed our sprint up I-95 from FLA to NY. Now adjusting to temps in the 30's after 5 weeks of near 80. We'll be back in ABQ in April if nothing changes (like me getting the opportunity to make some money somewhere else).

Anyone got a clutch holder I can borrow? I got a set of friction plates, steels and a basket on the way and was planning on replacing them around next Wednesday. Thanks.

Not even! I was gonna bleed my clutch fluid and the first twist on my wrench just snapped the bleeder screw in half effortlessly! I just ordered another. The hub broke when I was unscrewing the springs, and somehow one of the posts came out with the screw and spring.  ??? Maybe the cold has made everything brittle.

Post by: Cloner on February 16, 2012, 07:43:51 AM
They're pretty fragile, Caleb.  Even a little side load kills 'em.  I've never had one break taking out the springs, but I've seen several people break them trying to hold the hub by the spring bosses while taking out the hub bolts.

Heading to ABQ on April 3rd. Staying for 3 weeks. Hope to catch up with most of you. With the cold, damp weather we've been having here on the Island of Long, I haven't given much thought to rolling the '01 out of the garage. So, I'm looking forward to throwing a leg over Big Red once I'm out west (if I can pry it our of Duck-Stew's hands).

Much catching up to do.

My younger brother got his first motorcycle the other day: 2005 Ninja 500. I'm excited to get to ride with him.  [Dolph]

Also, a saw a bit of bike week down in Daytona while I was in Florida. Never saw so many Harley's in one area. There were a lot of nice sport bikes there as well, but mostly Harley's.  :( On a related note, there were Harley's everywhere in that general area of Florida, either coming or going to bike week, I've never seen so many people doing 15 under the speed limit.  [bang]

I hereby make the following predictions:

Ducati will go all liquid cooled w/wet clutches.

The Monster will cease to exist in favor of either the SF bikes, or another platform.

Panigale will have a small displacement (little) sister.

Diavel will last another 3 years before ending production.

Ducati's will settle on 11' 4V motors as standard in non-SBK's & Panigale chassis bikes for SBK's.

There will be no more 2 or 3 valve Duc's.

Enjoy your future...  (Just had to get that out someplace...)

Oh, one more 'prediction'...

The Monster will receive NO further iterations.  It will go out of production the same as is currently available (696/796/1100evo).

Euro noise regulations have killed the (beloved) dry-clutch and the Euro emission regulations will kill the air-cooled motors entirely. 

It's simply too damn difficult to get an air-cooled motor to meet the Euro3 emission standards that are currently out when your cylinder cooling media is the ambient temperature.  If there is a Euro4 emission standard upcoming, that will surely signal the dimise of the air-cooled Duc's (and maybe air-cooled motorcycles entirely!)

Greetings from Seoul, South Korea, Hooligans.
I'm 2 months in & have learned just enough Korean to want to kick the crap out of every Kimchee eater in the country  ;) Not true, but it has been a life changing adventure. it's truly like having to relearn how to live again. I am training military special forces people & racing bicycles @ the highest level in Asia
  AKA: Dream job. Fifth from front in this pic in my first professional race (finished 2nd). 
  I had a little crash 3 weeks ago on a training ride & broke my collar bone in 3 places, stage 2 separation & broke 2 ribs. I'm back on the bike as of Monday (your Sunday) & have logged just over 160mls. I am a bit sore, but feeling strong.
  Off the bike, I found that exploring and getting lost is the best way to experience the world's 2nd largest city. I love how safe & peaceful it feels here.
 Scott, I saw today you crashed the CB (didn't know you had one), I hate hearing that. I wish you all the safest & greatest riding season.

Took a trip to the DMZ (Demilitarize Zone) N/S Korea border last month & going back this Friday... fascinating.  The soldiers at the corners stand half faced to make a harder target & in the second floor window on the North side is a sniper on duty 24/7.
 Strangest part, I felt safer here than anywhere I've ever been.

Wonder if Ducati will ever come around and make another decent air-cooled SS?  I know.  I know.  Air-cooled is dead, you say.  However, there's something visceral and cool about two-valve, air-cooled goodness!

Another topic: Was at my local dealer on a rainy Saturday morning & was duly impressed by a Diavel in Black-and-White & lots of carbon-fiber.

It makes me very happy that the bike's getting ridden instead of gathering dust in my shed. And ridden better that I ever could.

Use her as long as you wish, Wayne. She's got up-to-date tags & insurance, and I myself will probably be not be back in ABQ until after the summer. (One, it's too hot there in the summer and, two, summer is the most enjoyable time to be here in the Northeast.)

In the meantime, I can content myself with riding stoplight-to-stoplight on my '01.

I held the clutch and used the momentum to steer off to exit...never started after that! My phone was almost dead...called Karl, Ed, Stu and Jim...Thanks all!

Well... Charlie got pretty wet because all he had was a mesh suit, but dried off pretty fast. Some pretty good downpours on highway 64.

Some very nice riding up and around your neck of the woods - it was good to visit with you and Stephanie.

Post by: nicrosato on September 15, 2012, 09:17:38 PM
A new plan for '13:

I've been thinking that the '01 Monster I have in NY would be more fun to ride here instead of the crowded NY suburbs. I was toying with the idea of selling the '97 I have here now and maybe shipping the '01 west. I figured to pick up something better suited to commuting in the NY suburbs- a Honda, maybe (or a Suzuki s40 Boulevard mini-cruiser since I have this fascination with turning one into a cafe racer along the lines of the Ryca CS-1).

I called by my buddy Frank up in Ithaca, NY today to wish him happy birthday. He'd sold me the '97 years ago and his current rides include a VFR, an SV650 and a nicely appointed 916. Short version: He wants the '97 Monster back, so he will trade me the SV straight-up. Here's the best thing about the plan: Next spring, I will ride the '01 Duc out here and he'll ride the SV. Then I will ride the SV back to NY and he'll ride the '97 Monster. I'm thinking we'll block out 3 weeks for the whole trip so that we have time so see some of the USA and hang here a little.

There may be a twist to the story: He's been wanting to sell that 916. I think he'd be willing to let someone ride it down here along with us if there was a chance he could sell it here. I'll check that out.  In the meantime, if any of you think you need a road trip in about 7 months, let me know. It would involve getting yourself to Ithaca prepared to spend a week on a not-altogether-comfortable machine.

But, hey, it would probably be worth it.

On a completely different note: Serendipitously discovered a gem of an Italian restaurant- Torino@Home (7600 Jefferson NE) while searching online. High quality Northern Italian fare, great service, relaxed atmosphere. Slightly upscale price-wise (If you order wine & dessert, it probably gets up to $30-40 a person), but worth it, especially for a special evening with a special person.

Tomorrow, on Roxy's recommendation, we're headed to Timbuctu in Rio Rancho for brunch.

The wonders of Albuquerque continue to reveal themselves.

On another completely different note. I have a 2001 900ss that I watche sitting for 2 years. After the 2 years it was on its side and over htose 4 years I had asked the owner if he wanted to sell it. He kept telling me no. Finally he called me one day and he said he would sell. I got it for 2200 and it is a salvage title with 4000 miles on it. I have it on my lift now with the front suspended from the rafters. I noticed the left fron fork seal is leaking so this weekend I will finish pulling the forks. Here is the question. Should I order race tech valves and springs or just change the seals and put it back together. I probably will not track it just the great riding up here in Northern New Mexico. I see that some guys send there stuff to Cognent but I am not a racer. Thanks

Racetech valves will help dampening throughout the range and smooth out everything from a track monger to a boulevard cruiser.  If you're 'in there'...  They're worth the $ IMO.

The temperature dropped quite a lot here. Went from 85 one day, to 60 the next. We're supposed be back to normal by the weekend though. I really am disliking the "cold" haha. Oh, speaking of weather, there's a possibility that I'll have to fly into Las Cruces sometime in the future because of weather (January time frame if things work out).  The time frame I'm in right now means that I should be starting aerobatic work by then, but Pensacola gets really bad haze during the winter. That means we don't have the visibility minimums to do the flying, so the Navy likes to send us to good ol' NM for a few weeks.

Report from the Hurricane Sandy zone (Long Post Alert):

First of all, Barb and I thank all of you who contacted us to express your concerns. We are well, our house undamaged. Main issue is that we've been without electricity since Monday afternoon, which means no heat, no hot water, besides no lights. We do have a fireplace and on Thursday, a friend brought over a small generator so we have enough power for a space heater, to make coffee and to charge our cells, laptops & mobile hot spot. We are inconvenienced and slightly uncomfortable, but safe and adapting to camping out in our own house.

The storm itself was not atypical for us because we have had intense, windy storms in the past: We live on a hill and are probably 6 or 7 miles from Long Island Sound, so no storm surge worries. There wasn't much rain, but the winds were intense with high gusts (reported as 90 mph at  nearby Islip MacArthur Airport). This was problematic because we live in a highly-wooded area; our house itself is surrounded by 60-79 foot high trees. As I said, we were lucky and nothing came down on us. Lots of branches & leaves on the ground, but that's it.

The impact on the neighborhood was quite different: Trees down everywhere, many taking the power lines with them. Huge, mature trees simply uprooted as if they were twigs. Some streets- including ours- were impassible because of hanging power lines or lines on the ground. With such a wide area affected, it is taking the utility companies days to restore service. This morning was the first time we even saw crews on our street and they were gone in the afternoon. It is impressive, btw, that many of the crews we've seen around in our travels come from out of state.

The other issue is the gasoline shortage. Barb waited on line for an hour on Friday to fill some containers for the generator. We saw lines extending for easily a quarter mile at many gas stations today. Man now have separate lines for people just filling containers. I hear the waits are easily two hours of more.

Now the highlight of this strange and interesting week: Due to prior arrangement, Duck-Stew and Rosemary visited us, arriving Friday and leaving today. Besides the fact that we genuinely love them both, it was uplifting for us- and a welcome distraction- to share our mini-adventure with them. We went our for a fine dinner last evening and this morning took a mini-tour along the North Shore to Oyster Bay for breakfast and a visit to 20th Century Cycle, Billy Joel's shop where he keep much of his motorcycle collection.

The coda to this little story is that next Saturday we fly to Albuquerque. Maybe our electricity will come back on before then. Otherwise, it will a long way to go to take a shower.

Not very windy here, but a few inches of wet snow. Still no power and no clear answers from power company. But, it's been an interesting 11 days so far. Highlights:

- We live almost solely in our bedroom. Run the small generator enough to warm up room with space heater.

- No TV. We nave net access via mobile hot spot and so can see news, etc. Since we can charge our laptops, Barb went to the public library and got some DVD's to watch. And there's always NetFlix.

- The in-and-out visit from Rosemary & Duck-Stew.

- Drove to a friend's place on Tues to take showers.

We are so looking forward to coming to Albuquerque.

Thanks for the good wishes. Bar & I will post some photos.

I snuck out of work around 3 yesterday and hit the Crest a couple times before 5...

NOBODY on the road...  No cops, but did see 5 mule deer on the side of the road just below the ski basin.  They stayed cool & I did too...

Despite the chill in the air, it was a couple of good runs.  [thumbsup]

LIPA, the local power company, is being attacked in the media, by the politicians and very much by the public. Because I am an amateur student of management, I also fascinated by mis-management, and this has been a prime example. You can check this out:http://www.newsday.com/long-island/why-lipa-failed-utility-ignored-warnings-it-wasn-t-ready-for-major-storm-1.4203976?qr=1 (http://www.newsday.com/long-island/why-lipa-failed-utility-ignored-warnings-it-wasn-t-ready-for-major-storm-1.4203976?qr=1)

We have no power and the small generator won't start, so we decamped and moved in with by brother and sister-in-law 35 miles away. We're thinking no power until Monday. I postponed my flight to ABQ until Tues; Barb's still flying Sat.

Ok.  Seems to be official.  The winter time has arrived.   DAMN-IT!

But, that doesn't mean we can't get together and socialize!!!!

DucMouse & I have been discussing some winter fun events and have come up with a small list thus far:

-Brew our own beer @ Kelly's on central

-A screening of 'On Any Sunday' @ The Guild Cinema

-Indoor Go Karting

-Cheesy Movie Nights

Please feel free to post up here, or start a new thread for any of these...

No activity here since the 1st. Has the cold weather frozen all your fingers?

Read 'em & weep: Barb & I have been in Cape Coral, FL since Dec 27. Temps mostly in the 70's and now we're in a mini-heat wave, with afternoon temps getting into the high 80's.

But, you all can gloat because....   It has not been an enjoyable visit yet. I'm pretty much over being sick, but Barbara has been miserable and probably has a week to go till full recovery. I've been super-busy with work 10 hrs a day in front of a laptop  and/or on the phone.

In the end, if you're going to be sick or busy, better off in the sub-tropics than the cold North or West.

It was not a difficult decision: We had planned to drive north last week, but checked the weather. So while temps are in the 80's here, we had nearly 30" of snow in our little part of NY.

As I have said before, we welcome company here. We will probably be here for several months next year, sp think about it.

Daytona ia about 4-5 hrs away.

Anyway... It's March 7 & it's snowing here in NY.

I have to revise my plans to ride my '01 Monster from here on Long Island down to ABQ. I am just starting a big project which will probably run into May. My original plan was to leave the last week in April. It looks like I will be pushing the trip back a month.

I miss you guys and can't believe it will be 7 months between visits.

March 15 and it's in the 30's here. I am sick of this! And, riding is creeping into my brain.

I have decided that it will be a few months before I can get enough time to ride south. I'm thinking July would be realistic on many levels.
There's work, and there's the matter of getting the bike and my body into road shape. As i get closer to actually departing, I'll share my plans. I might entice some of you to meet a few days out from ABQ.

Some of you have asked about a blog I write: It's 1hundredsixty8.com ; I write mostly about public policy, but I try not to take a political point of view. I hesitate to mention it here because of that. That said, I do post about other things and intend to use the blog as a journal on my road trip.

Looks like Spring's finally got here. Took long enough.

I am missing Albuquerque and will not be making the trip out with Barb next week because of work. So, I'm thinking I have several compelling reasons to be there in June for a week or so.

One is that I would like to see the Tedeschi Trucks Band at Sandia Casino on June 14. If anyone's interested, please let me know.
 
It's also our favorite granddaughter's birthday around then.

There was something else going on in June in Albuquerque, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

I'm also getting the feeling that this my personal posting item.

Yup, it was a quick engagement, but we had to because we're going to be stationed in different states pretty soon, and the only way for us to get stationed together in the future is to be married. Hopefully now once Brittany is finished with her school she'll get stationed somewhere near me, since I'll be in flight school for a long time yet.

He said it was tricky because the actual leak was under the plate that appears to be tacked to the tank over the hinge. It looks a little rough and I will probably end up doing some filing or light grinding.  He put a coat of clear coat on it to protect the metal, but I will probably go for a re-painting in the winter.

This weekend will be reassembly and testing. It's been so long since I broke it down, I hope I remember what connects to where.

It's been a tough year as far as getting some riding in, what with the vapor lock that afflicted the '97 in ABQ in the June heat. I will be back out west for 3 weeks at the end of Sept., and I looking forward to seeing you all and riding. Still considering riding the '01 from NY to ABQ to leave it there.

*To complete my whining, I took the tank off last Sept & left it with the local dealer, a guy who's always done good work. As of March, he had not gotten it welded. So, I took it back. I ended up taking it to the mechanic who takes care of the outboard marine engine from my old sailboat.

Last sunday we met a group who are traveling across country to ride the coolest places and do cool stuff on bikes....then post video to a show for motorcycle.com.  Their project is called "Escape the Apple", as in New York...the Big Apple.  In their latest episode there is a short clip of Wayne and his little boy playing on Karl's Panigale!

The guys from "Escape the Apple" said they use the heck out of these:  http://www.uclear-digital.com/HBC200force.php (http://www.uclear-digital.com/HBC200force.php)

Fits pretty much any lid.  Line of sight communications, and they relay from unit to unit so the folks in the front can speak to those farther behind as long as everyone can see at least one other rider (and maybe "not quite see them" according to the NY guys).  Just over $200 per unit (list is $249).  I'll see about becoming a dealer or getting a group deal if anyone else is interested in bike to bike coms.  They're also Bluetooth enabled, so you can use them to listen to music, take phone calls (via voice command), and pick up a radar detector warning (as long as your detector transmits with Bluetooth) without any wires attached to your lid.

Any takers?

So, you all rode into the mountains, I went to the shore. Took my daughter and grandchildren to Florida for a week so they could go to the beach.

There is probably no greater difference between two places in this country than Ouray and Sanibel.

It sounds like it was a fabulous DITR. Glad everyone made it back safely.

See you in September.

While you were all blasting through Crest this weekend, I  [drool] a bit and headed out to explore risks in the abundant water. Bit of fun...especially falling into murky salt water trying paddle board, being bitten by fishes and losing my favorite glasses trying to get back on a 80lb kayak knowing no swimming (had a life jacket).

Still my favorite track in the world!  No matter what happens, you're not going fast enough through turns 1, 3, and 9, and turn 8 is faster than you think, but be careful because it's hard to see from the saddle that it's a bit off camber.  Have fun!

My first time getting the rear wheel on the 1098 out... ??? I need to ride more or hit the gym more, turned my face blue if not purple! I had to use my torque wrench setting at 230ftlb reversed, yes not 230Nm to get the damn beast of a nut to spin...Whoever fixed my rear wheel last time did get the units messed! Its out and I'm getting some new Dunlop Q3's on and ready to hit Roebling Road...Cant wait to see my data logger after half a day! [thumbsup]

I got rain soaked in tropical blast cleaning my chain outside the garage, it warned for two secs before a bucket fell! Anyway, alternating between GP gearing on the SV and standard on the 1098 has me for a fool...It sounded like my 1098 engine ran out of oil and with oil blinker ON and some random Alphabets on the dash...had me sweating more than rain drench, ah well..it was trying to start the bike from stall at 6th gear! I need to ride more... [coffee] [laugh]

Back in NY for crisp northeastern  autumn days. There's always stuff to do here this time of year- clean up leaves, sail the old sloop to the boatyard for winter storage.

Great trip to ABQ, though I was busy with work most of the time. So, we're coming back for a few weeks the week after Thanksgiving. As usual, it will be fun to catch up with you all.

If I get myself organized, I will ship my '01 Monster from here to ABQ.

Torinos@home, where we ate, was featured on the Food Channel's "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives' with the insufferable Guy Fieri. I got hungry just watching Daniella's husband prepare the squid-ink pasta.

Ok, where is everyone. I am feeling like everyone sold their bikes while I am picking up a Super Light today. It has needs new tires and a battery, maybe belts and has I think FCR's but will have to look closer. I know some of you have seen it. The GPR exhaust came for my 01 SS and the sanding is about 1/3 of the way done. The belts and the race-tech valves and springs are on the way also for the 01. The house in Los Lunas sold so I will be looking up in the Northern area for a place now. Maybe this will start this place up now.

Furthermore, I didn't make the annual get together with my dear friends Ashley and Scott.
I'm glad to have spent some time with my family in Tucson. Playing soccer with my 10 year old great niece and climbing trees
with her 7 year old sister and being befriended by their 21 month year old sister Emerson was priceless.
As a bonus I got to spend time with my niece Monika who flew in from Germany.

Knowing the weather in majority of US being bitter cold and my desktop showing Santa Fe at 11F, I sympathize! [coffee] It was 33F cold for few days with strong Atlantic winds, but yesterday was 70F+, its a bit lower and clear today. I couldn't resist and managed to get a new Yuasa on the old Jawa and kick it alive in about 5-10 power strokes after 1+ year of inactivity, it felt great riding it around... [thumbsup] The next project is to get a toggle switch in the circuit so the battery can be disconnected from the regulator that eats up the whole battery voltage when I shut off the contact key! Its a junky regulator and impossible find! I have a switch and am working on a custom bracket. I also need to either rewire the whole bike or figure the ancient headlight dome wiring next, its always inconsistent. I love that the old machine always provides a baffling problem, it is like loving a grouchy grandpa! ;D [cheeky]

Well I have been working on my bikes when I can stand being in the garage. No heat there. Two weeks ago I got my 82 wide glide up and going. We had a big flood in September and my garage got about 3 feet of water in it. The xr400r and the 80 fl were not affect. The fl is down to the frame and in the house and the xr400r is well made for that. I had to take the 82 down to motor and tranny and get rid of the silt and redo the clutch. It is running good. The beemer got a short which I finally found last week so I am fixing that maybe this weekend when it is warm. I am not sure about the 900ssie. I will get to that next. I do have a new 93 Superlight that I will change the brake fluid, oil and belts in the next 3 weeks depending on weather.
On top of all that we started moving out of our house in Peralta but the deal fell through yesterday. Not sure what to do about that now. I will keep moving I guess.

This has been an interesting winter. I'm not busy enough with work, so I have occupied myself in improving my chess game*, learning some woodworking skills, practicing the bass & writing. Anything- as you can see above- is better than being up North.

I miss you guys. I always say to Barbara that we have the best friends and fun-est social life in Albuquerque. I miss riding, but not so much as I am tempted to have a bike here. Between people our age & older and the locals (who never use turn signals & consistently swerve from lane to lane), the drivers are too scary. There are lots of Harley riders around, mostly older guys who hit the road in full-squid attire- tank top, shorts, flip-flops, no helmet. Your quintessential organ donors.

We're going back north in a few weeks, then headed your way the end of March. Hope it's riding weather when we get there.


*If any of you are into chess- and I haven't really played in decades until this month- check out chess.com. You can play online.

Well, this will be an odd post...

I'm moving on.  I've grown tired of the building bikes thing and am selling off all my bits and pieces which I have collected throughout the years.  Honestly, it feels good.  Really good to move on.

This does NOT mean that I'm breaking any friendships from the local NMMR hooligan types.  Y'all are mi amigos and will stay that-a-way.

This does NOT mean that I'm quitting Desert Desmo.  I still like turning wrenches occassionally on bikes and I do know quite a bit about Duc's so why not continue...

It does mean that I'm likely going to just buy a bike when my garage is clean and it will likely not be a Ducati.  I'm leaning towards the Triumph Daytona 675R as it's bad-azz and not too expensive.

Well, we're still in FLA, but will be heading north tomorrow. We'd planned to leave a few weeks ago, but then we looked at the weather up there & figured we were just fine here.

I do have my '01 M900 to get back together in NY. This is when I wish the Desert Desmo demons were in NY for a few days.

While down here, I ventured into some woodworking. I know Zaster is good at it, and probably some of you others. For me, I can frame & do rough carpentry, but I've never done much that's close to finish work. Building this wall unit was my first venture.

We arrive Saturday night, Mar 29th. We're staying 2 weeks this trip- we leave on Saturday, Apr 12.

Main goal this trip is to install laminate flooring in the master bedroom.

Oh, and see our friends and have FUN!

It was 22 degrees here this morning, snow predicted for tomorrow. Northeast apparently did not get the memo about Spring arriving last Thursday. That Saturday flight to ABQ cannot get here soon enough.

Jacksonville is at 59F starting today at 45F, time to get to tracks...Have been busy getting things together on the track SV...playing with fiberglass, bondo and sanding tools. Fairings and tanks are almost there, need to start bending, grinding steel to make custom mounts. There are many ways to lose extra pounds, power tools help! ;D

Following Cloner's advice, we got a plane and flew out here Sat night. Sunday night in NY, it snowed.

Between trying to earn a living and working on this house, I hope we have some time to hang and ride. Anyone around this evening, stop by 4605 Jupiter and enjoy an adult beverage. The very precocious Duck-Stew and his beautiful wife Rosemary will be by.

I also promise not to stick a paint brush in your hand.

After a lot of sweat and work in swampy FL garage, the SV race bike is almost there...rode it this weekend after final assembly and felt good. Will be registering for track and give it a thorough test. Ordered some heat wraps and shields to stop the exhaust from burning through fiber glass belly pan. Some tires and its ready to see some track pavement! [thumbsup] [Dolph]

I am trying to get in touch with Gratefulduc (Larry). I sent him a message a few weeks back, but never got a reply. I was thinking there was a  problem with the Board's message feature.
Anyway...

I'd like to make arrangements to have my '01 M900 shipped from NY to ABQ next week. I thought Larry would have info on shipping companies. Barb & I will be lflying out Friday the 30th, so I'd like to get the bike picked up before then.

So, if Larry reads this, or any of you have contact with him, or if any of you have had postivie experiences with shipping companies, email me: nicrosato2@gmail.com.

Thanks.

This has been a hectic 3-weeks here in ABQ, what with family functions and work. Not much riding for fun- just errands, especially the last few days after the radiator on Barb's Beemer let go and put the car into the shop. As usual, the Hooligans rallied at the slightest hint of us needing help.

Zaster and Pam & Mousalicious and Matt came over a few weeks ago to help me cut up the wood to make a Murphy bed. Karl & Matt provided woodworking assistance, Pam cooked (yess!) and Krystal made sure the wine glasses weren't empty.

Since I had a house full of guests and all kinds of family functions, the Murphy bed did not get built. So, I am returning solo Aug 18-28 to complete it AND do some riding, Too late for Ouray, but I have stuff going on back East and cannot get out out here sooner.

I hope to ship my other Monster so it's here in August.

I miss seeing some of you: Stew spends too much time on the road for is job and I haven't set eyes on Cloner in a while.  After August, Barb & I will both be back the last weekend in Sept for 3 weeks.

As some of you who know us probably guessed, we're fixing to bail on NY and slit our time between ABQ and SW Florida. Need to get the house n NY prepped for sale, so we still have lots going on.

1) Neighbor 1 found a lawnmover- self propelled lawnboy in a dumpster, motor was stuck...I tinkered at night and did some mending to head/pistons and it is running like a rocket.
2) Neighbor 2 was impressed and has me looking at a Vespa, oversized piston kit failed, so more tinkering future nights...
3) Neighbor 3 has a full time job hunting fossils... [popcorn]

Post by: nicrosato on November 14, 2014, 07:35:29 AM
JJ has got it right- tougher to enjoy riding in crowded areas with straight-line freeways and no changes in elevations. I gave up, riding here on Long Island & Metro NY and shipped my '01 out to ABQ. We'll be sending more time there anyway and I lost the desire to ride here.

Florida is a boring place to ride, though the Panhandle (around Psnsacola) with its proximity to Alabama is supposed to be interesting. The rest of the state is flat (highest point above sea level is about 430 ft. Even Long Island, a 120-mile long sand bar, has a high point of 435 ft.). South Florida is particularly dangerous, given the amount of senior citizens and the normally-poor-driving Florida natives. Good place for boating & fishing.

Happy Thanksgiving Guys and Gals! I want to have an indoor motorcycle show and tell type of thing at the bar I manage. I need about 20 bikes all together. We already have a few. Nothing special and I will buy you a burger for your trouble. It is a classic, vintage or iconic show. I was thinking if any of you had like an 851, 888, 916 or a special old guzzi, triumph, or scooter I could talk you into bringing it up for a day in late January. PM me for info or contact me at dscovill@buffalothunder.com.
I really would appreciate any help I can get. An old 2 smoke track bike anything would be cool.
the Superlight will be there whether it runs right or not.

We are doing our indoor motorcycle show the 24th of January. It will be from 11 till 3 or 4. It is very informal and I am looking for Iconic, Antique or classic type bikes. Ones that changed things as far as looks or the industry. I even like old cool Vespas etc. I will buy the owner of the bike a burger and fries for lunch. We have 14 beers on tap. Just saying. It is at QBs in Pojoaque. That is just down the road from where we meet at the Chevron.
I have kind of been gone for about a week due to us losing our niece in an accident but am back on the forum.

Our time here in SW Florida is coming to a close. We were so happy to share this place with some of our ABQ buddies who came to visit- Pam & Karl, Rosemary & Stew. Great memories: Pam in the kitchen, Ro & Stew's very special gin & tonics (which I named "GTO's" for gin-tonic-overdrive).

Barb will be flying directly to Albuquerque the 25th. I have the job of driving the automobile back to NY (with a stop in Georgia to visit grandkids), then flying out to ABQ on the 31st.

I am very revved to get out west, to see as many of you as I can, to throw a leg over my Duc and enjoy life.

I generally eat there about once a week or more.  Good folks.  Decent food.  A wide selection of brewed beverages if you're into that sort of thing.   I no longer [drink] but I'm game to watch others partake as long as there's a hamburger afoot.  Not generally aligned to my taste in bikes, but still two-wheeled vehicles so it's all good!

Brittany is already sad he's no longer a tiny newborn. We're all doing good. Brittany is already back at work, Dominic is going to day care on base, and I got qualled in my aircraft, so I finally get to move on to the fun and juicy stuff like tactics and weapons employment.

The Miata is starting to get fast in the handling department, wide wheels, sticky tires, adjustable coilovers and sways. I took second place in raw times among all classes at the last autocross I went to. Time to work on the power. Already got some long tube headers, and a 2.5" midpipe and muffler put on it, looking at a Rotrex C30-84 for some forced induction goodness.  [evil]

No tickets but one guy ended up in the hospital hitting a deer.
We will be back from Germany by Sept. 30 and hope to see you before you leave.

Was up in Taos for the last few days, just got back down into ABQ. I'm guessing everyone's pretty tired from DiTR.  [Dolph]

Karl- we aren't leaving until Oct 15, so we will be around a while when you get back.
Cloner- wasn't sure it your post was intended for me, but we are always up for anything.

Our ABQ news- our neighbor Michael- who some of you know- and his partner are moving from our neighbor hood to Ventana Ranch. Since they are a main reason for us to stay in our current house- they watch over it when we're  not there- we are considering looking for another house rather than putting time, effor & money into the Jupiter Street place. We will listen to input from any of you who know the local market.

I was searching Ducati on the ABQ Craigs List. There is a post about a red Duc on the Crest road. He has got it out for someone on a Duc. Just be careful.

In the news: The Barbster & I were very pleased to have Mr & Mrs Zaster as our guests last week here on Florida's Gulf Coast. Much eating, drinking & laughing, and a day trip by ferry to Key West. They will be back this week on their way to Albuquerque.

L'Scott and I are heading for the track Monday for a practice day.
My R is in the shop. DNA finally decided to fix the swingarm issue after I called Italy.
Hope she is done by next week with weather warming up.

Barbara and I will be flying to ABQ the night of July 3, so we will be around for July 4 cocktails. Cannot wait to see you all. We leave the 15th.

Official: House here in NY is up for sale: http;//tinyurl.com/htkpzvn (http://http;//tinyurl.com/htkpzvn). Market here is over-supplied with homes for sale, so it may take a while to actually sell. In the meantime, we'll continue to enjoy this very pretty place.

Your tax dollars at work: DoD's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the people who brought us the Internet & ga-zillion other things, commissioned prototypes of stealth motorcycles:

The Princess of Passion & Painand I  head your way Sunday night. Can't wait. Anything interesting going on for the 4th? Park Central? We're up for some fun. I just put a lot of medical stuff behind me, so it will be good to hang with some hooligans.

Another thing on my mind: Maybe selling the '01 Monster & getting an ST in reasonable shape & pretty even money in value. I turn 71 next week & thinking of a different riding experience. Let me know if any of you come across a likely candidate.

Post by: Cloner on June 30, 2016, 07:45:42 AM
Not a lot of STs around, but I'll keep an eye out for ya.  Do you have a preference as to which one?  I like ST3....but I'm kinda funny that way.


Title: Re: ~~~~~~~NMMR TOSAT~~~~~~~
Post by: nicrosato on July 07, 2016, 10:11:30 PM
Stuff.... Stuart has convinced me to keep the Monster. It was partially his verbal persuasion, but mostly the fact that, with the bike in his hands, it is running & looking better than ever. Bravissimo, Senor Baker.

Friday night, July 8: Hankering to catch some live music while I'm out here. Two choices: The Sheraton Uptown (Louisana Blvd just north of Menaul) is advertising jazz-blues starting at 6:00 PM. Probably in the lounge. The Stone Face Tavern (San Pedro north of Paseo del Norte) is featuring the Mystic Vic Blues Band start at 8:30.

Contact me if you'd like to meet up.

Nic-a-saurus:  Another awesome visit albeit a short one.  I'm so glad the Mostro was running to your satisfaction!

The missus & I (and everyone else) eagerly await when next we can enjoy each others company.  Be well until then!
