Ducati Monster Forum

I'm sorry. 

I'm sorry for the noise.  The racket.  The ear-piercing clutch.  The mind-numbing exhaust. 

I'm sorry for riding too fast on the street sometimes.  I'm always sorry for riding too slowly on the track. 

I'm sorry for the occasional parking lot wheelie.  And to the wheelie-ers, I'm sorry that my wheelies aren't better.

I'm sorry for buzzing you like I was Tom Cruise in Top Gun while you're on your bicycle, in your car, while you're walking your dog, or pushing the baby. 

I'm sorry that your kids want a bike as soon as they get home after seeing me on mine. 

I'm sorry for the way my boots squeak.  I'm sorry for how my leather pants squeak.  I'm sorry that my jacket squeaks.  I'm sorry for having really disruptive attire. 

I'm sorry for parking on the sidewalk.  Also for riding on the sidewalk.  And for not getting off the f*cking sidewalk when you asked me to. 

I'm sorry for having a carbon footprint the size of Texas and for liking the smell of race gas. 

I'm sorry for the perpetual hill of tires in the backyard.

I'm sorry for touching buses when I pass them. 

I'm sorry for being more interesting than you, just because I have a motorcycle.  And I'm sorry that I find it difficult to talk about much else. 

I'm sorry for lying to you about riding mom, but I did it for the right reasons. 

I'm sorry for being a bad patient. 

I'm sorry that so many of my friends have ended up bump-starting, working on, and coming to get me and my bike from the far ends of the earth so many times.   

I'm sorry to the cars that have to wait while I split lanes.  I'm sorry to the officers out there who hate it when I say "split" lanes. 

I'm sorry for getting so many tickets.  Boy, am I sorry about that. 

I'm sorry that my hairdresser's creativity is challenged whenever I say, "It needs to work with a helmet."

I'm sorry for not taking my helmet off in Safeway.  In 7-11.  In just about any establishment where I feel the dress code or my length of stay will permit it. 

I'm sorry that you don't get to see the sky at night with nothing obstructing you from a thousand twinkling gems overhead and the moon smiling down at you at 100 mph on a deserted road.

I'm sorry that you don't get to ride through the leaves and watch them tumble over your shoulders like orange and yellow angry fairies on a day like today.

Nice    [thumbsup]

sounds like some good things to be sorry for  [clap]

I'm sorry that my hairdresser's creativity is challenged whenever I say, "It needs to work with a helmet."

I JUST said the same thing to mine last Wednesday... And he understood!

I'M NOT SORRY!

The best of pee wee herman in cheech and chong hamburger lizard sorry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocv5WdBmSok#normal)

I don't see the need to be sorry for any of those things. (except maybe getting the tickets)  Your list is like a modern motorcyclists list of Conans "What is good in life"  Great List!

I'm sorry your husband and I made this video for you

Dirt Bike Training Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp47i5iWNRk#normal)

That better not be one of my thongs.   >:(

HOLY SHIT

 [popcorn]  ???  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Since it's a training video I can show it at work for motorcycle safety.

Almost as much fun as Baby Monkey on A Pig!

That is seriously demented and I approve.

 [laugh] [laugh]

i am not sorry about anything in Belle's list.

i am sorry i clicked the link for spidey's video [puke]

+1 or -1 or whatever will get that image out of my head.

-1

and you need to acid wash your brain.

This is the first post that made me miss my Monster. 

Dammit. I just ate dinner and had to click on this thread. Now I feel dirty and kinda up-chucky. [puke] I need a shower. [cheeky]

It's not.  He borrowed one of mine.  Just like usual.   :-*

I really hope you meant "I'm sorry for lying to you about riding, mom, but I did it for the right reasons," rather than "I'm sorry for lying to you about riding mom, but I did it for the right reasons".....

I'm sorry about lying to her about how many bodies I've got buried in the backyard--It wasn't just one.  It's 14. 

I forgive you. [thumbsup]



Now go forth and sin some more. [evil]

Umm...Im at a lose for words, but holy crap that was funny.

I'm NOT sorry for the 16 years and counting that I've been enjoying the shit out of motorcycles.

I'm not sorry for my 105mph wheelie on my CR.

I'm not sorry for passing a line of Lamborghini's up the Angeles Crest Highway on my M900.

I'm not sorry that I'm a bike junkie.

I'm definitely NOT sorry to call 'Belle (and SOOOO many others here) my friends...

:D

I think it broke my brain. Ow.

 [bow_down] This was good! I am still laughing!

watch it again and it will unbreak it

But supposin' I like it broken?

Another good one 'belle - as always

I'm sorry 'belle didn't post that sooner.

I'm sorry that every time I see mstevens screen name my brain reads it as Ms. Tevens.

The other day I was explaining to my son how the internet is both good and bad. On one hand people all over the world are able to share information. On the other, there are things like Spidey's video. And was has been seen cannot be unseen.

The last two lines are some of my favorite sentences I have ever read on any online motorcycle forum.

Most excellent, Mostrobelle.

I'm not sorry for my revving my bike for longer than neccesary early saturday morning, possibly waking my neighbors. I was just returning the favor for what they did to me when they came home drunk and very loud at 2am earlier that morning

this is juvenile as hell, but i still do it too. hahahaah

Now that I have a bike that is louder than angry toaster, I will be waking up the drunken screeching idiots next door at 7am every time they wake up my wife in the middle of the previous night. Every time my windows rattle with shitty top 40 rap music I will rev the engine for an extra few minutes. I will not be sorry in the slightest.

I'm sorry to my mid-50s hippy wannabe neighbors who whine about my race bikes as being eco-unfriendly and noisy, but each drive an old SUV which belch smoke and leak oil and are upset their hot 19 yo daughter loves to ride pillion and wants me to teach her how to ride... and do track days.

I'll have to get out the trailer and I guess we'll bunk in the same van...

...Of course, I have to get thru my wife first.

keep fighting the good fight ma bruva

I will happily join you in that endeavor... Testastretta + Termignoni =  [evil]

I hate the obnoxious, screeching, college wannabe ho's too...

They need a large dose of make the beast with two backs you...

get a bunch of people with bikes like that and tune each bike's exhaust to a note (i.e. A B C D E F G) and figure out a melody to play, maybe Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

I was thinking more like the Top Gear theme song...

Top Gear - Full 2002 Theme Tune and James May Theme Tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bjlswx7sT8&feature=youtube_gdata_player#normal)


...only MUCH better!  ;)



[bacon]

Maybe I need to bring my Panhead out for a weekend. It's almost loud enough to wake the dead.  [evil]

(there were no new zombie incidents this fall when I first ran it, so it must be just quiet enough)

That's what they want you to think.
