Title: New to THIS Monster forum
Post by: Sapper on July 08, 2011, 03:18:31 AM
Hey folks!  I was a member of the DML back in 2003-2006 but hadn't visited in some years - but when I did recently, I saw that there had been a few changes!  Google brought me over here and I was happy to see names like ducpainter, Spidey, bigiain, etc. - names I recognized.

While I no longer have my Monster, I'm still riding a Duc - a 748 I've had since 2005... or 2006... I forget.  I'm down in San Diego and commute on it most days.  You might see me on the 805 and in the Clairemont area.  My bike is yellow with a black windscreen, black pressure plate, and black StompGrip - honk if you see me.

I'll lurk a bit and learn the ins and outs, then get a little more active.

I still have old DML schwag and a faded "Anil" sticker on my helmet.  Fond memories of TNRs, riding the loop at the Portsmouth Rotary, and NHIS... sniff sniff.

I have some fresh 'Anil' stickers somewhere.

Dana did a memorial t-shirt this year.

It's actually a relatively new helmet (2008) - I just found a sticker at the time.  Good reminder to myself as I suit up, you know?

We all still miss the nut job...and I say that in the best way.

I've yet to meet anyone as friendly and excited about everything he's involved in.
