I remember joining in December of '03, then promptly buying my S4R that I still have today a month after

College girlfriend relationship advice given to young board member in stick figure form.

Fellow Ducatisti/DMLers...please help me.

I have just recently become engaged to a wonderful girl (who supports my Ducati habit whole heartedly). I bought her engagement ring, and was expecting to be able to pay off about half of the ring up front, and pay the rest off when I could.

I'm a full time college student (taking 20 hours), and am working on acquiring my commercial pilot's license which is required for me to graduate and receieve my degree, so I have no time to work, even on weekends.

This is hard for me to admit, but I would rather swallow my pride and ask for help than have my fiancee lose her engagement ring because I'm not able to make the payments for it.

I am asking that you donate at least $1 and no more than $5 (unless you really want to give more, then feel free to do so).

Let's do the math here: $1 x 8000 = paid off. $2 x 4000 = paid off. $3 x 2667 = paid off. $4 x 2000 = paid off. $5 x 1600 = paid off.

If you feel that you are willing/able to donate some amount between $1 and $5, please send me a PM, and I'll send you the email account that my paypal is linked to.

Oh man, to think I bought my 996 from that guy. Turned out to be an awesome deal after 11tyb hours restoring it.

I remembered that I am too lazy to read through this thread so I apologize for repeats...

I remember Toasty's inception.

I remember WWSDD as is evident from this over here...
<---

I remember a certain partially bionic member before he was a famous actor...and partially bionic. And I remember when we all banded together to buy him his first shiny new titanium limb. I even created DML swag packs to auction off on eBay from which all proceeds were donated.

I remember Joel before he got together with Michelle. Dear god...I am so glad she came along. That guy was on a path of chaos and destruction...er wait...nevermind.  

I remember when Nate was only a painter...and wasn't much over 95 back then. Heck I think Howie was even under 1000 back then too.

I remember Randall doing 160 on his Foggy 620. Granted, it was most likely a euro or Canadian spec bike and the 160 was actually kmph but...oh the uproar.

[Le Pirate]

Cherub Rock was a warrior poet.  

I remember his late night Bromance thread 

then he went off to join the French Foreign Legion. Wonder what ever happend to him?

I can't believe how long I've been a member here (and also TOB)....

I was going to write a list of teh funnay, but it occurred to me that since I've been on the board several members and good friends of members have died. Life is a strange strange process. Sorry for the Debbie Downer post.

Coming and going are all part of the natural progression, I guess...Glad some of you old timers have stuck it out though

Nope. There is one much more recent.

Nope. There is one much more recent.

Let's keep the facts straight here.  It was a 620 Capirex and the speed was 140 mph.     And not as suggested by others, he was not dropped with the bike out of a plane that took off from a conveyor, it was on asphalt.

It's ugly and it sucks!  And I know I'll feel the same when I finally see it.
