Title: I was asked the question?
Post by: Case S2R on March 08, 2009, 06:15:51 PM

Saturday I stopped at the gas station on the corner of Grover and Koenig and while I was pullin up the cashier came outside, saw my bike and walked back in. As I was paying for my DP I was finally asked the question you always hear about... "So what is wrong with your bike?" "What?"I replied. "It is making a jangling noise and that cant be good" I was told. With a big smile I explained to him "Thats a Ducati and we pay extra for that noise". To which he replied "Ducati? is that better than a Honda?" Closing out the conversation I answered back, "That depends but it is a whole lot cooler.

Some get it some don't,

Just posting here to let you know how much I envy your dry clutches. [bow_down]

I perceive the illustrious tambourine mod is in my near future.

Cheers. 8)

[laugh]

The best one I've ever had was a guy yelling at me to get my bike into my mechanic because my cam chain was loose. I started laughing because I thought my friends had put him up to it. They hadn't, he was serious. It then prompted a discussion about how I didn't HAVE a cam chain... and if THAT noise was a loose cam chain I had much bigger problems.

Now, when asked, I just tell them it's my cam chain. [cheeky]

You haven't heard a noisy clutch till you've heard mine. It makes babies cry.
