Just Another Sunday Ride

awesome

i lived in SF last year for about 6 mos and your story got me feeling all nostalgic and sh*t. i did a ton of exploring while i was there and i'd been to most of the places you mentioned. i really miss those roads and hopefully i can ride up there this spring. i would have most of the daytime to ride before work so i took full advantage of those incredible roads. i had moved there from NYC where it takes a good ahour before i got to any decent twisties and even then the twsties wouldn't go on for miles and miles... so i was in heaven. thanks for the story and the memories.

i'm living in LA now for work reasons. BTW, my tag at BARF is hydra also. i haven't posted on that site in a long while....i think i'll wander over there and say hi. everyone was really welcoming when i posted my move from the east coast.
Faz is the one who introduced me to BARF...great bunch of people there.
what's your tag there? i remember your avatar if you're using the same one.

ciao

I was really in the mood for a good story today. I felt ya holding back just a tad, like there was more story there you were not telling us just yet. At the end, I was like, ' where's the next chapter?' Nice.

Yes, definitely come on over! My avvie is the same over there, and a long time ago I tried to change my username and everyone gave me crap about it, so it stayed...wait for it.... "DucatiHoney." Go ahead and laugh.

I was testing out names when I first joined BARF and couldn't figure out how to make it work--had a slow connection on the computer--and voila'.

I'm a moderator over there now, too, so I should be easy to spot.

Faz is great btw.

I'm working on bein' less wordy. Super long stuff doesn't work well on the intrawebz. And I suck at endings.

ducatihoney, that's right!
it's not a bad tag at all. it kinda goes with the avatar [moto]

Great story. Thanks for posting on the General board. Makes me want to bail out of work and go for a ride. Oh, wait, I did that yesterday.

desmoquattro · February 03, 2009, 10:13:09 AM

The guy you passed with the same jacket...was he on a Tuono? I think that was my buddy Steve. He mentioned that he thought he saw you guys on the way up. Small world.

I can't believe y'all are having a "BARF is so great" discussion.

BARF is just like dumpster-diving--> you can find an occasional gem if you are willing to wade through all the trash, rot and human feces.

mostrobelle · February 03, 2009, 10:59:26 AM

No one said BARF is great. Faz is great. And we're trying to clean things up a little by taking out some of the trash.

hydra · February 03, 2009, 11:04:03 AM

yes Faz is great!

i DID happen to meet some cool people on that board. it could be better, yes, but it's not terrible. and i try to stay away from negative energy anyway.

Last time I did that things didn't go so well... it turned me off of my little stories for a while. Maybe I'll see if it goes better this time. I'm a glutton for punishment.

ciao 'belle -

and i am sorry that ducati never posted your earlier work ... the world is not a better place for it, but would be if the folks @ ducati would post your works!

mostrobelle · February 03, 2009, 11:12:17 AM

It had nothing to do with Ducati, John. I'd actually forgotten all about that!

Hey, it was cool getting as far as I did with them. No worries there.

What I was referring to was about another member deciding that my writing was trash publicly. He and went off after one or two people called him on it. It was kinda weird actually. Left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not like I needed therapy after, but it wasn't conducive to me rushing to type out anything else anytime soon either.

mostrobelle,

I'm Joe's friend Steve with the black Aprilia Tuono. I'm the "other", "other" guy with the same and yet embarrassingly "cleaner" jacket haha. I'm pretty sure I saw you on the way up Mt. Hammilton you were coming down heading towards the Junction. I was tempted to turn around and catch up with you 2. Yeah mines road up near the top of Hamilton was a little sketchy. Lot's of fine sand. I sled out once an almost high sided!!! Said after that...time to go slow Wink Other than that the weather was great and Mines was a blast. It's so freaking awesome living in CA!

Take care and nice write up.

johnc · February 03, 2009, 01:55:42 PM

dude ... please accept a more tolerant view of other two wheeled peeps. there are lots of calamari over on BARF ... but as you correctly state, some gems exist as well.

think of posting on BARF as your civic duty to help raise the I.Q. level over there ... besides, some of the photos of you in valencia would fit right in with BARF behavior (as does mine)

so, help edumacate them ... it's in all of our best interests
