Title: I was asked the question? Post by: Case S2R on March 08, 2009, 05:15:51 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, Case Title: Re: I was asked the question? Post by: El Matador on March 08, 2009, 08:53:29 PM It's always funny to get the: Ducati? who makes that?

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] Title: Re: I was asked the question?
