Title: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 02, 2011, 09:37:34 AM been meaning to post this for a while, but always forgot to...
my gf lives in bangkok right now, and it just so happens that she lives in the same building as the guy who owns the ducati dealership down the street. i met him, nice guy and all... but i have to say... i drooled over his bikes everytime i walked past them... haha, and as you scroll down... i think you'll understand why ;) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100039/IMG_0314/web.jpg?ver=12966676080001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100039/IMG_0315/web.jpg?ver=12966676100001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100039/IMG_0316/web.jpg?ver=12966676110001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100039/IMG_0317/web.jpg?ver=12966676130001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100039/IMG_0318/web.jpg?ver=12966676140001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0367/web.jpg?ver=12966676260001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0368/web.jpg?ver=12966676270001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0369/web.jpg?ver=12966676280001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0370/web.jpg?ver=12966676290001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0371/web.jpg?ver=12966676320001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0372/web.jpg?ver=12966676330001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0373/web.jpg?ver=12966676340001) (http://gallery.me.com/vinny.ip/100043/IMG_0374/web.jpg?ver=12966676350001) i fully expect to see a diavel the next time i'm there too... haha Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Monster Dave on February 02, 2011, 09:42:38 AM Is the dealership run out of that garage?? [cheeky]
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 02, 2011, 09:48:46 AM haha, i just think that he probably gets them at a really steep discount and bypasses tax on them as a work expense prob... vehicle tax in bangkok is something like 300%, so everytime you see a mini cooper there, it's the same price as a porsche here in the us...
i'm guessing he either registers them all under the company name and says they are all demo bike so he doesnt get hit with the charges... and then stores them all in his garage for when he wants to play with them... haha Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: fastwin on February 02, 2011, 10:30:39 AM Nice collection. [thumbsup] Threw in a few KTMs for good measure. ;D
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: mitt on February 02, 2011, 10:33:00 AM Funny to see all that in a parking garage...
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Goat_Herder on February 02, 2011, 11:09:20 AM If he can afford all those bikes in Bangkok, he can afford a much bigger house to put all the bikes in. If I were him, I'd be freakin' out about people laying hands on them.
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 02, 2011, 11:23:42 AM pretty sure that he prob has another place to live... i think this is his place to stay during the weekdays for work. it's a brand new building and it's literally a block or two up from the dealership. prob just has it so he doesn't have to deal with bangkok traffic to go to work... and bangkok traffic is killer.
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Jaman on February 02, 2011, 11:52:00 AM what, no d16??
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 02, 2011, 12:01:22 PM i'm guessing that's in his house... haha, but yeah, that's about all he's missing
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: DucofWestwood on February 02, 2011, 03:29:42 PM yes, but does he have a M620?
No? Well then I guess that's one bike I have that he doesn't. I win. Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Punx Clever on February 02, 2011, 03:39:16 PM Must be nice when your first decision of the day goes like this.....
"Do I want to ride the 848 the 1098 or the 1198... sigh" How I envy him Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: sisca77 on February 02, 2011, 04:23:25 PM (sigh)....decisions....decisions.... :-\

Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: DRKWNG on February 02, 2011, 05:35:29 PM Hmmm... The MH and the SDR are the ones that get my blood flowing...
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: lazylightnin717 on February 02, 2011, 05:35:56 PM If he can afford all those bikes in Bangkok, he can afford a much bigger house to put all the bikes in. If I were him, I'd be freakin' out about people laying hands on them. Did you notice the Lexus, BMW's, Porsches, Mercedes, etc..? He probably doesn't have much to worry about. Nice collection though. No 748/916 era though :'( Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: DoubleEagle on February 02, 2011, 05:59:06 PM No 1098 R that I can see ...

I win. Running a 620 at 140 mph all day does put a strain on the machine, and the paint tends to peel off from the wind. It's probably just in the shop getting a bit of care so it can continue to outrun all those other machines. Or maybe the Vespa LX 150 ate it. Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: vossy on February 02, 2011, 08:14:27 PM looks like somebody has alot of fun bastard [moto]
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on February 02, 2011, 08:46:06 PM jesus. I can honestly say I could cut that down to 3 bikes and not miss a single one.
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 02, 2011, 09:13:43 PM yeah, that mh was probably the most impressive looking bike out of them all though... in pictures i never really thought it was that good looking, but in person it's amazing. the dash just looks awesome. the thing i would hate about owning that bike would be that the second it gets a single speck of dirt on it... it'll look like crap. haha
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: techno on February 03, 2011, 04:21:07 AM jesus. I can honestly say I could cut that down to 3 bikes and not miss a single one. He could easily replace them all with one monster and be just as happy! Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: TitanMonsterS4R on February 03, 2011, 05:53:16 AM I'll take that Streetfighter off his hands. [bow_down]
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Bishamon on February 03, 2011, 06:34:37 AM Looks more like a condo complex parking garage; I suspect they don't all belong to a single person.
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: zooom on February 03, 2011, 07:13:48 AM I suspect it isn't his personal collection at all, but the dealership's overstock and used units.
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: DucRS on February 03, 2011, 07:53:40 AM Nonetheless he has access to each and every one [moto]
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: thought on February 03, 2011, 11:58:18 AM spoke to him before... they're his... haha
it helps that in bangkok... he doesnt need to worry about registration or insurance or anything... in fact, for a lot of the bikes, he just has one plate he switches back and forth to whichever one he's going to ride. and in truth... in bangkok... no one is going to care if you have a plate or not. Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: sisca77 on February 04, 2011, 06:23:06 AM Sweet!!
Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: Monsterlover on February 04, 2011, 10:45:54 AM I bet his insurance agent loves him long time
;D Title: Re: Ridiculous garage of ducatis... Post by: the_Journeyman on February 06, 2011, 10:24:05 AM I think he likes red.
