Title: Our History Post by: MadDuck on September 11, 2016, 12:09:11 PM I tried to find the original Hawaii - Desmotropic posts on the "other board". As early as I could get was Feb. 2008 where Mark was trying to set up some of the first big Ducati group rides. Most of the early posts on that old forum centered around leaving it for this forum.
At that time Teddy was still posting. Ranilo was there lots as were Ben, Tristan & myself. I was trying to find the very first posts back in 2005-2006. That was before Teddy coined the name "Desmotropic". I think Teddy & I were the first two that joined up and went on a round island ride. Ranilo came in right after that along with a couple other guys who didn't hang around. Not sure when Ben & Tristan got hooked up with us but I think it was right about the time I got the 999 and still had my original Monster. See what happens when you are recovering and are not supposed to be on a motorcycle? [roll] Something has to fill the gap............

Title: Re: Our History Post by: MadDuck on September 11, 2016, 12:49:01 PM I think all of the original posts from the old forum were purged when it was sold to the new owners ( VerticalScope ?). It just has the startup posts from early 2008 and whoever was posting after that. I even found a request from Frederick about opinions of a 916 that he found on Craigslist. 0 replies. ;D I think everyone had jumped ship by that time.
Title: Re: Our History Post by: stopintime on September 11, 2016, 02:50:59 PM There are posts from 2007 talking about the Desmotropic name, shop items, Oahu roll call...
Title: Re: Our History Post by: MadDuck on September 11, 2016, 04:12:01 PM There are posts from 2007 talking about the Desmotropic name, shop items, Oahu roll call... From ducatimonster.org? I remember those posts but I'm not seeing them there. Title: Re: Our History Post by: stopintime on September 11, 2016, 04:35:46 PM Some as old as May 2006.
I searched (magnifying glass) "Desmotropic" Title: Re: Our History Post by: MadDuck on September 11, 2016, 05:52:18 PM Some as old as May 2006. I searched (magnifying glass) "Desmotropic" April 2006 "Oahu Roll Call" must have been the start of it all for the local riders.

[roll] Something has to fill the gap............ Any idea on when you'll be able to go on a Sunday ride? Title: Re: Our History Post by: Speed 3 Pilot on September 12, 2016, 10:17:55 AM Mid 2007 for me. Relative late comer here, I probably joined in late 2009...

Title: Re: Our History Post by: Thermite on September 26, 2016, 09:38:36 AM Poamoho Street. A group of 5-acre lots I could never afford but the property has some issues.
There's more at the bottom of the hill but stuck in a sweat-box valley. Title: Re: Our History Post by: eltristo on October 02, 2016, 07:49:52 AM Hey there y'all
