A little while ago I sold my '05 620 and got an '07 GT1000. For starters... I love the GT. And while I've thought about the 620 on occasion, I can honestly say I don't miss her. I couldn't afford two bikes so...

But I will say that I tried to stay away from this forum for a while. I lurked but didn't post much. I tried other forums but there's something different about this one. You all know what I mean. The people, the talk, knowledge, the wit... just doesn't exist anywhere else.

So, I'm back... without a Monster but still on a Ducati. I wonder how many other non-Monster riders are active here?

I haven't had a monster in several years (though I often think I may someday need another), but I still hang around here.

In the words of Rabbit from Super Troopers, "I don't wanna get transferred... have to be a rookie again with some random dudes."

^Wow, obscure reference but hits the nail on the head.

The issue I find is trying to find forums for other bikes and cars that are as good as this one.  Early Turbo Mopars? Ehhh, still looking.  Kawasaki W650? Good Luck.  SRT-4 Neon?  Those dudes are Pre-Schoolers.  

Nowhere else can I find information on a certain topic that is this relevant, helpful, and varied.  


FWIW, I have found a great St. Louis Beer Site if you're looking for one-  www.stlhops.com

A Most Magnificent Monster

Me!  I sold my Monster in March and bought a Bandit 1200, but I still enjoy reading and participating in this forum.  I occasionally frequent the Maximum Suzuki Forum for technical issues, but the lack of humor over there is notable.  I may also end up with another Monster, or some form of Ducati, in the future.

Not only that but this is still a pretty good place to hang out.  I sold my Monster a couple of years ago and ride an 848 now. I still see that old bike and work on it for the new owner plus I have friends with Monsters that I help work on.

I drop by DucatiSpot but for the most part that place is pretty silly. Most posts read like comic books. Ducati.ms is better by a long shot but I guess I've been around here too long.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I agree, srtforums has its fare share of smart car guys but its so big its riddled with kids..  I'm part of about 8 forums and even without owning a duc, I'm on here the most..

Count me in the no-monster group.

After my S4 burnt I almost bought an RC51 but couldn't pass up the chance to jump on a Hyper.

Even if I'd gone with the Honda instead, I'd still be hanging out here.  Kinda hard to leave after being around so long.
