After searching around this morning, it's more than obvious to me why this site is by far my favorite out of all the ducati sites.

Here you've got real-world tech experience,  people will actually speak up to questions.  We've got a track forum, "kitchen sink" forum, classifieds, blah blah....but it isn't one of these that make it awesome.....it's the people here.  We've got a slew of guys who race, some of the best custom builders in the country, hacks and monkeys (like me!), and on and on and on.

Just looking at some other forums this morning made my eyes roll on more than one occasion....I mean we are all passionate about motorcycling, that is obvious....but it seems like the group here are RIDERS, not poser fanboys who sit around all day/night discussing where to put the new "Rossi button" on the new 1198 corsa R they bought last year but have yet to even ride, let alone knock the nubs off the tires. 

Thanks for being the DMF.  I'm glad to be a part of this place  [thumbsup]

I feel the same way and have since this group was on the old board.  It *really* is just the people here.  Some of our most prolific posters and most knowledgable people don't even own a Monster and it doesn't matter.  Some members here don't own an Italian motorcycle and it doesn't matter. 

Totally agree TAftonomos... [thumbsup]

It depresses me (and my friends) about how much I talk about the shit that goes on on this site.

i like the fact that every person from the DMF who i have met in person is exactly like i expected (based on interactions here.)
makes me want to get to know even more of you

(ok,...most of you.)

I like how the members of this forum have put together two different, annual, rider-based "ducati rallies".  You know, for the meeting of other people and whatnot.

I like how we're all reasonably civil with each other  ;D
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Yep. Me also. As I've said before every time my wife hears me laughing my ass off when I'm on the computer she always asks with a sigh "You looking at that damn Ducati forum again?" [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
