Hello from Boston(ish)... - Page 2

CBRVFR · 02-08-2008, 11:37 AM

What's CSB, and how cool is Catalunya?

luvtolean · 02-08-2008, 11:38 AM

Welcome Scottie, Catalunya, that's great...I quit racing not much older than you for the same reasons.

Life still hasn't let me back.

nhfirefighter13 · 02-08-2008, 11:42 AM

Is this ScottieDucati formerly (or maybe presently) of Nault's?

Hey Scottie. I lived in Montreal for 13 years. My mom is now in Granby and my brother in Lava.

Tu parles le francais?

Track time is the best you will see, group of people the most helpful you could ask for. My favorite event (thanks Abtech for the efforts past and present)

You forgot to say... the most Hanging Bike people you will ever meet

ScottieDucati · 02-08-2008, 12:45 PM

CSB = Catalan Sport Bikes, he does sportbike rentals and trackdays around Barcelona.... Marc is top notch all around, and a pretty decent rider too..

I don't know if I was "of" Naults, but they did Sponsor me :-) There was a guy named Scott who wored at the shop though doin parts, big 'ol beard / goatee... that's not me!

Unfortunately I hardly speak any French... much to the demise of my girlfriend who is from Lyon, and has been stateside about 6 years.. she's trying though! Her mom sat me down and gave me a basic crash course when I visited last year.... so we'll see if it'll take, eventually.

I'm starting to be *very* interested in the Grattan day..... who do I have to bribe... ermm... I mean ask to hold my spot... regardless of the dates?

Scottie.D

ScottieDucati · 02-08-2008, 12:49 PM

BTW, I thought your handle was cute, as I refer to her as "Frenchie" all the time... here's a pic of her and her little CB-1 we picked up to try and get her into the sport last year.... unfortunately I was commuting on it and a car decided to open it's door right in front of me, so she's a little banged up and getting fixed up this winter.

ScottieDucati · 02-08-2008, 01:15 PM

BTW, it's really, really sad seeing yet another forum with corporate ownership and stupidly annoying ads everywhere :-( Ah well, seems like a good group of people so far :-D

No corporate ownership here...

CBR929RE · 02-08-2008, 01:49 PM

the site is owned by ND4SPD and a lot of those pics you see in the google banner ad were taken by NHfirefighter.

if you come to Grattan you'll get to meet both of them. NHFF is great with the camera as is his accomplice TAZ, no shortage of pics that make everyone look fast.

so are you in NH or MA?

ScottieDucati · 02-08-2008, 01:51 PM

I live in Medford, work in Cambridge....

Why is it my buddy gets you tube ads in every webpage?

I was afraid the same company who bought DML bought up this site too

Glad they didn't tho! :-D

that not too far at all. maybe we can figure something out for Grattan. I assume your trailer doesn't weigh much if you're pulling it with a little VW. Can you fit 2 bikes in it? maybe I could just get a hitch put on my Tacoma.

FrenchieR6 · 02-08-2008, 02:03 PM

Your girlfriend is from Lyon?

Tell her I was born in Valence... About 2 hours from her... My mom is on her way there now for 3 months...

As others have said, no corporate ownership here. Your buddy is seeing the Youtube ads because he hasn't signed up yet.

They only show for guests.

I'm fairly certain we've already met.

This is from 2003

Dammit. Lost another monitor and keyboard. Note to self: Don't drink coffee whilst surfing McAdx

ScottieDucati · 02-14-2008, 09:42 AM

I had a single rail trailer which I just sold... BUT we are currently building the most bad-ass 4x8 harbor freight specials you've ever seen

They should be welded together, modified for 2 bikes and we're taking them to VIR in April, I'll let you know how it goes... Unfortunately the guys I'm going with to VIR likely won't have vacation time for Grattan.... so maybe we can keep in touch about it?

Sah-WEEEET

Never saw that one before... :: sigh :: I miss the good 'ol days... well I'm sure I'd recognize you in person, I'm awful with names though!

We should definitely meet up for some rides this year though... I usually go w/ some buds and bomb up VT Route 100 and head over the Rt 17 pass into upstate NY... some *great* ridin up that way....

Hehehe I think that was Nault's first trackday.

ScottieDucati · 02-14-2008, 12:09 PM

Yep, definitely woulda been a Naults' day, because I only got to instruct with them... seems you gotta know someone to do any instructing w/ Tony or Fishtail... I'm hoping to get into more instructing, maybe here with you guys after a couple McAdx days
