Prince William on a 1198S

Bono
(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r46/Motorbiker_photos/NewsPics2/Bono-Ducati.jpg)

they're too cool for gear.  they've got an image to think about. 

I was thinking the same thing when I found these pics!

What up with Adrien Brody? He's doing scissor kicks with the side-stand down?

The helmet that Jared Leto is wearing looks just like my whitewater kayak helmet.  Great helmet for kayaking definitely wouldn't want to crash my motorcycle wearing it though.

I hear you about safety gear, it just amazes me seeing people in shorts and T-shirts riding around with no gloves to boot! I shake my head but at the same time wish they don't go down like that! They are after all grown ups and it is their choice. The Prince is cool, and down to earth, he refused to go on a honeymoon and instead went back to work flying SAR missions, he will make a good king! On another note, Tori Spelling's other half races races/rides track days on a Ducati.

another thread hijacked by the "gear" patrol.  wear whatever you like and let others choose, they will ultimately pay the piper if they have an accident.

Tom Cruise loves carbon.

Bloody Bono, no wonder he's just signing the bike not riding it.

PS: Please don't prove me wrong with a photo of him riding. I prefer to retain my Southpark inspired view of him  ;D

This is pretty cool, for those who haven't seen it! If only I was really, really, ridiculously good looking. I could be a model, idiot.

Obsessives: Fabio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VSkY0MfOqk#)

[cheeky]

Who would have thought?

Tk

Jared Leto looks like a douchebag.
So does Tom Cruise, though that is sort of inevitable.

Brad Pitt's bikes are tastefully, though slightly, modified. I approve.

I'd have never guessed that Fabio rides and owns a shit-load of bikes, but that's cool. I approve of this, as well.

I don't give a shit what Bono owns. He'll always be a tool.

 :D They can't help themselves.  [bang] [bang]

Orlando Bloom:

(http://toddbundy.com/Orlando_Bloom.jpg)

who would have guessed Fabio is a bike hoarder?  that's a crazy amount of bikes.  surely he doesn't ride all of those.  it would take hours just to get some of them out of the storage room.

Damn! Fabio! My idol.  ;D  [Dolph]

The thread title is making my internal grammar/punctuation Nazi kick my nads from the inside out.  

Sorry, I didn't realize I was being graded.

Should I take out the apostrophe? Or perhaps I could change it to Ducato.

I'd hate for anyone to be kicked in the nads. Or testicles, as that would be the correct usage in that sentence.   ;)

Eric Dane - Grey's Anatomy
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2796/4268681877_a8e8924e5c.jpg)

Years ago on MTV Sports, I believe..they showed Fabio and his bikes.  He had a ton of 'em.  I don't recall if he had any Ducs?  There was at least 20 dirtbikes in his kitchen though!   [laugh]


I like that fairing on Bloom's bike.   [thumbsup]

I know Cruise is bad..at least he rides and works on his Ducs.  Ryan Reynolds though..he gives Ducs a bad name.  DOUCHE!!  [thumbsdown]

What fairing is that on Orlando's bike.

eric dane looks like me at a stop light....cursing the bike to not stall, please do not stall...their are cars behind me, please dear italian gods of two wheels and expensive taste.   still for some reason, i can't get this 100% of the time.  gotta be above 2000RPMs to not stall...why this is, just makes things difficult.  to me, the bike should start going enough to not stall without any throttle at all...especially at $10,000! 

wonder what would happen if i used the "choke" lever to up the RPMs at a stop light(would be a pain) but maybe i wouldn't have to worry about using throttle?  just a newbie thought....hahaha

go ahead, let me have it!!! 

14T front sprocket.

Don't forget Allanis and her S4Rs

(http://alanis-morissette.thecandidphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/out_about/alanis_morissette_motorcycle_hollywood_3.jpg)

Honestly...would this help me.  This "problem" i am having is really affecting my enjoyment in riding this bike.  i love this bike, i want to ride it, but the enjoyment factor is not there because i'm so worried about stalling.  i can get it all day in a parking lot and then every now and then still, i will stale...at the most embarrassing times.

Would this change to a 14T front sprocket really help....can you give what it actually does in order to help me out.  not really a gear head so i would love to understand why it matters to change to 14T....thanks by the way

It would help - but more gas is the solution. Just gas it man...

As Sad Panda said, more right hand and better clutch/throttle coordination is the main thing. However, if you are on a 696 and fairly new to riding, the $40 sprocket plus 1/2 labor is a big help. Have the dealer verify at the same time that your idle is set high enough as that can also be a factor.

The bikes are massively over-geared, presumably for noise (drive by) and emissions..., and/or for the Autostrada! There is a reason Ducati offer a 14T as an accessory.  [roll]

Before ordering my 796, I rode a 696 demo with a 15T. It was silly how tall the gearing was with a bike with not a lot of bottom end. So, there was a 14T on my bike on delivery as I had done this on two of my Ducatis before. A 14T will also tighten up your other ratios a bit.

However, to get back to your question, launching will definitely be easier. It WILL NOT launch at idle though!  ;) For that you may need a 1200...

thanks alot...i'm gonna do the 14t sprocket change.  really appreciate all the advice and help on my questions and comments.

That Fabio clip was great.  Bike hoarder is the word.  Looking at the dirtbikes, they look like they were used some.  Thats cool.  I'll bet his friends love to visit him.  I would expect Fabio to have all those bikes stored in some huge, eat off the floor like, garage.  Not crammed in dusty garages and plastic tents.  
+1 for Fabio [thumbsup]

I would hang out with  the guy just to ride his dirt bikes. I bet you if you offered to ride his bikes to keep them from going bad he would pay you! There was a dude that used to pay a guy to drive some his cars atleast once a week :)

I run the 15t sprocket, had the 14t, switched back due to highspeed rpm... but either one will stall... if you don't twist the throttle

Michael Jordan on a track day


(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MNw6KnB4dY4/S7rxDfu9vxI/AAAAAAAAAGg/NwLr1hiCZ0o/s1600/mammyjordan.jpg)

I chould charge them a gee for each tailchop/chain guard that needs to happen.

Yeah MJ is an awesome rider. There is track footage of him somewhere from some TV show I recall from years ago...

Here's someone who is quite obviously a rider, but hadn't been posted... Ewan McGregor

(http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/218678/images/ewan-bobber.jpg)

It seems like the "Long Way Round" and "L W Down" cop lots of flack, but I really enjoyed watching both of them. I can see why hardcore adventurer riders might see it as very cushy having a support fleet and everything else, but it has definitely inspired me to go on my own adventure ride sometime.

And, with a hundred or so street bikes alone, I would love to see what Fabio pays for registration and insurance every year :o Maybe he gets a special rate  [roll]

Talk about ridin naked!  [laugh] [evil]

Jordan motorsports

ESPN E:60 on Michael Jordan Motorsports (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrZ20qyqPmo&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)

Thanks for posting the Jordan video.  Isn't it what you would expect from Jordan.  Push it hard and tough.  I'd like to see him support an American Ducati or MV Team.  After how Suzuki treated him, he owes them nothing.  

if you watch the video, it shows him riding that bike. around 53 secs into it.

they prob just let him ride that one just in case he crashed it.

and i never knew that jordan was that into bikes either... makes him even cooler  [thumbsup]

My pleasure  [thumbsup]

I visited the OCC shop back in 08 & they were sellin ducs. They even had a desmosedicci on the floor. First time i ever saw one. & it looks bad ass in person. Went back the next year and they werent carrying them anymore. Damn recession!  [bang]

The one of Vanessa is nice

Still no pics of Alanis.  So here is one.  I like the bike, the woman, and the attitude.  The gear patrol should note that she properly outfitted. 


(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B8XyyBQQkbA/TgaBVKFj3dI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/UM20Y1n_tew/s1600/ALANIS+with+her+Monster.jpg)

…………….Not necessarily; her jacket isn’t even zipped up, she isn’t actually WEARING her helmet and goodness knows if her gloves meet approval since they cannot be seen in enough detail.

I cannot believe she would consider walking down the street without her helmet on…………stupid!!

That's Ann Margaret riding outside Las Vegas. Pic was taken years ago but still cool in it's own right.

"I have a board up my ass and all men should be castrated?"

No thanks.

A woman that would "go down on you in a theater" certainly has no board up her ass. 

Young, innocent and stupid girls will do a lot of things they shouldn't.  Like blow this man: (http://www.nndb.com/people/877/000050727/dave-coulier-sm.jpg)

That S4RS is shit hot.  She has totally emasculated me and my 620 :P

It might have been the recession or it might have been the fact that they have a certain clientele that doesn't love a Ducati, and they aren't know for managing their money well.

I'm going out on a limb and saying it was due to Senior's attitude and his constant badgering of his kids on the show that they pulled the plug.

(http://image.motorcyclistonline.com/f/8832565+w750+st0/122_9611_04z+lovett_ducati_monster+side_view.jpg)

I knew Lyle is a motorcyclist but I never knew he was into Ducs.  Of course with his cash he's probably into everything 2 wheeled.

I remember when I was in a Yamaha dealership in Houston shopping for some leather.  I glanced across the showroom and saw someone that looked familiar.  He noticed me glancing his way.  He came across the room toward me and as he was walking I realize who he was.  He came up to me and shook my hand.  A really great guy.  He is kinda the way Steve McQueen used to be; just another guy that liked/likes all things performance.

I bought a new Vanson jacket, Lyle bought the dealership. [laugh]

For anyone interested in Lyle Lovette's M900 shown above, here is an article from a few years ago.
http://m.motorcyclistonline.com/flashback/122_9611_lyle_lovett_racing_story/index.html (http://m.motorcyclistonline.com/flashback/122_9611_lyle_lovett_racing_story/index.html)

nice article.

One of the first things to pop up after I subscribed to Lyle Lovett's Facebook feed was a mobile photo of a little brass numberplate with "916" on it -- apparently, he thought it was pretty cool to wind up with that room number at his hotel in Milan, and put it up with a "This one's for all the Ducati fans out there" caption.

[ sup][/sup]hahahahahaha

1.  The 750ss magically loses a horizontal cylinder and gains a radiator.
2.  Keira is a pricktease.

Good catch, Ducatiz.  It's probably the same reason they disguised an Aprilia in Hypermotard skin in "Day and Knight".

Aussie actor Eric Bana enjoys a bit of monster action.

Saw this referenced elsewhere and figured I'd bump it up with something on-topic. Keeping the previously posted Australian flavour, though.

Ruby Rose, an Australian DJ best known for her tatts and love of other laydeez, is a 'Ducati Ambassador', all cause she got one to learn on (in Aus you're restricted in most places by power to weight. Ducati have a new Monster, a '659' which is restricted so it meets the power to weight requirement).

She doesn't look hot in that shot but she does on other occasions. Though obviously I have no chance, given she bats for the other team :).

Uh..ya, did a search for Ruby Rose.....wow   [clap]

...Never heard of her.

Add Lewis Hamilton to the list.

Here he is arriving for today's British Grand Prix (hopefully the loyal fans in Old Blighty are taking up a collection to buy him some gloves):

Didn't think the F1 teams let the driver's ride motorbikes.

IIRC Ayrton Senna also rode a Monster.  Shows it in the Senna movie.

I saw Zac Brown on a nice new, black Hyper recently..I did take a pic of the bike after he parked it..lemme try and post it..
he's pry not in the ranks of these celebs, but around here he's very popular.

sweet!

where are the celebs?
nice leds i guess

many celebs come into where I work and I don't take their pics..I try to treat them as "regular folks"
I think they get enough of that anyway....
I think seeing that bike in person is what started the Ducati fire in my heart tho...

who's multi?

Zac Browns..I initially called it a Hyper a few posts ago..sorry

Here is Aryton Senna with his ducs.

 [laugh] That's awesome showing up to a black tie event on a Monster!
Lucky he had  the open faced helmet so he got recognised and not turned away!....

.... Actually, with what he was wearing why did he bother with the helmet?....(rhetorical)

I think that photo was taken after the Monaco Grand Prix one year (Senna was a master on the streets of Monaco) and they probably have mandatory helmet laws there.

well he obviously wasnt planning on brining anyone back to the hotel room on that!

Kick ass MTS,

but sweats and trainers?  [bang] at least wear jeans and hightops

Love that color scheme. On the bike, not the shoes ;)

That Termi looks alright in that pic too, most of the other pics make it look like shit!

Or is it!!??

pretty certain, saw the whole series of photos

Now I know why there are Senna editions of ducs, that always left me a little confused.....

Guess this belongs here

Is there anyting more Beiber could have done to confirm his "douchebag" status??

Bought an 1199R?

the thing is, who is the idiot who sold this guy the bike? I mean talk about a chance for some gear sales to a guy that could afford it!

also.. are those his mom's leather pants?  [laugh]

doubt it, I have teens. Worse, they have these jeans that have some kind of fiber in it to make it look like leather

Bieber squid... Though with those massive chicken strips he's sure not pushing the bike at the time of the photo. Now pushing his luck... probably doing that.

This is interesting.....

Probably selling it now that its been identified.  Some one call it and pretend to be capt jack

jk. the dude seems cool. i hate the stalking these guys receive

$26 grand?! 'Paid 30' GTFO! Either Mr Bloom is that is the owner got ripped off or someone's out of touch. A brand new grand tour or Pikes Peak is MSRP of $22K. I see it has the full exhaust - but still not $30k new, nor $26k used.

And I can't find anything matching up to "Carbon fiber Ducati performance rear set,"

did that guy use the mafia to finance that thing?   :-\

Price all the options on an mts 1200s sport or touring
you could get there

And by rearset i think he meant short tail

 With the Termi's and Pro Italia's freight, set up, and the PI we think we are better then everyone fee, plus LA County tax at 8.75% (now 9%)..you can get close.

Not that it matters but it's more likely he bought it from Beverly Hills Ducati, that's where all the rich kids shop.

That is a Desmosedici..correct?

But that is a Desmo right?

Yes

Unless you are female, I'm pretty sure she isn't your kinda of girl.

I didn't know that..... :o
Maybe she's compensating........riding the Desmo [roll] [roll]

She also has an 848 a 990 Super Duke a Harley and a 1000 Suzuki.

OK, I give up...why is there no DMV tag/plate on the back, and why is she showing off the hole in her obviously-not-kevlar jeans  [evil]

They would have to catch her first to give her a ticket

It's probably brand new or brand new-ish, waiting on the tag to come in the mail.

Either that or Beverly Hills Ducati let her take it on a demo ride.

It takes a few weeks for DMV in CA to send out plates after you purchase a new vehicle.

Isn't it the thing to do there also..leave the dealer tag on for as long as possible to let others know it's a new vehicle?

Don't they issue temp tags until the real tags come in?

here in MD, if we had that option, I'd leave the bike tagged like that as long as possible so I can blow through the speed camera's without thinking twice...

Nope. No temp tags here in SoCal.


You see a lot of this too!

They issue a registration tag which gets placed on the inside of the windshield.


As well as avoid paying registration, tolls, etc.

California  [laugh]

Everywhere else.  [laugh]

Except Hawaii. Hawaii rocks.

 [thumbsup]

I never understand why people bag on California...they must have never spent any amount of time there. It's a great place in general, and pretty much motorcycle heaven. I prefer northern, but whatever. The time I spent in San Diego was pretty nice too.

Agreed.  I grew up in upstate NY which is an absolute shithole for motorcyclists for at least half a year every year, as is most of the rest of the United States of America.  Personally, I think Southern California is the motorcycling meca of the U.S.  We have some of the best roads in the world for riding and that is year round.

I'm a San Diego transplant who has lived and ridden here for well over 10 years.

The level of how much I hate that state is epic.  :D

How can you hate a state?  That makes no sense to me.   ???

I like California.  ...and New Mexico and Utah and Montana and North Carolina and most of the rest of the states I've visited...can't say I liked all the people though.   ;D

I ride year-round too, its just that I have a little more gear to stay warm in the "winter."  I ride everywhere and luckily I don't need to be Johnny Canyoncarver to have fun.   [Dolph]

I live in S.C, and I hate it for its lack of good roads for motorcycle riding. Curves are almost nonexistent. The only reason to ride in S.C, is to leave for some other state with curves.  The night life in the Capitol city is lame. The restaurant selection is lacking compared to some other cities.

Due to family obligations and a new job (which I am looking forward to) I remain here.

//Thread jack of my own thread//

By Capitol city, do you mean Columbia? Is it really that bad in that area of SC? There might be a possibility I'll be moving there in the next year or so. My GF is from there (Columbia/Lexington), I've visited many times and never really thought it was that bad. Although, I've never rode moto there either.

I believe she has stated that she is Bi and "open" to love in whomever it comes.

Ms. Palmer - very hot.

Alan Tudyk and i have no idea who is on the right.

Would me telling you he's one of 'The Final 5' help?

It helped google, i have not seen the series you are referring too. I'll let other people guess......

OK, so I recognize Alan from Firefly, but you're saying the guy on the right was from BSG? and One of the final 5? There were only 3 guys in the final 5 - he OBVIOUSLY wasn't Tigh, and he doesn't look like Tyrol or Anders - confused.  ???

That's Anders - Michael Trucco. Hard to tell in that photo though

Could have been. I saw something recently about Katie sackhoff taking delivery of a deus ex or similarly nice cafe

No, but it helps to keep the dealer tag on it until you get the plates so that CHP or local PD don't pull you over for having no tags.  At least with the dealer tag on it they might assume you just purchased it and are waiting for the plates in the mail.  Can take 2-4 weeks sometimes but I've rarely had it take more than 2 personally and since I hate getting pulled over I always put the plates on as soon as I get them.

The paper in the window (on cars) is good for six months. People try putting dealer plates on and fake paperwork in the window all the time. They get to be pedestrians.

Here they are with a couple of BMWs:

Both seem to be pretty avid riders from what Ive seen. hadn't seen the BWM photos, so that's just another notch in the avid column.

That one's new to me too - Harleys, BMWs and __________ they've either got quite a collection or access to press fleets/demos!

Local guy did that bike for her.

Wait, so if I was affiliated, they would? I'm lost

No.

You said you were not an ATGATT affiliate, well neither are they...

Now I am confused. You are not an ATGATT, so what do you care about what others wear, when they ride?

I am not an ATTGATT fanatic, BTW.

I care because I'm a nice guy.


But forget about me, back to people who make buckets of money playing pretend.

Not so fast. Do you think it nice to hold someone to a standard that you do not believe in?

You are either ATGATT or you are not. There is no middle ground!

Now me, I am a believer in SOTGATT. :D

Im a proponent of ATGMOTT.

Katie Sackhof played Starbuck on the new battlestar Galatica

i fraking love that show. They killed starbucks character in the last season though. that shit just did a 180.

Ive been looking at all those monoshock mods for cafe racers. is there a book a suspension geometery? that shit is utterly confusing!

yes there is... unfortunately I can't recall it, and it reads like a proper physics text book.


That's why you get to wear a helmet ALLLL the time.

The BMWs was a charity thing IIRC.

aside from the NO GEAR issue... I'm impressed that he is riding that bike. Looks cool.

I'm not about to be a gear Nazi over celebrity pics.

I wear VERY different gear for very different things.

I may ALWAYS wear a helmet, and long pants, and boots, but my gloves and jackets vary GREATLY.

Not to mention these guys are pretty much always hounded by photogs - who knows what they are doing. Are the riding around the block test riding something? They're probably not out touring or getting ready for a track day in most of these candid shots.

Dude, he's the Green Lantern, he can think gear up as he crashes.  [thumbsup]

What's wrong with Ryan Reynolds attire?
I have ridden many times with less "stuff" on me  ;D
If you use the bike as daily transportation, and you live in a relatively small city where typical commutes are in/around 2-3 miles, wearing Moon landing gear is not going to do it.
Or try to come off the beach, with 40C and buckets of humidity, and wear deep sea diving suit to go home, a couple miles from there.

I agree...but it's not a popular opinion.   [roll]

ATGATT nannies are everywhere. :D

Adrien Brody  guess he traded in the cromo for a Diesel.

Goddamn two up is high!

typical celebrity helmet

I think I like it.  I have been wanting something open faced for some time, and I had planned to pick up a Bell Custom 500, but after I had to sell my Sport 1000, I figured something too 'retro' would look out of place on the Monster. Whatever Mr. Brody is wearing doesn't look too bad.

it's not how good or bad it looks.... it's almost always a paparazzi friendy openface model.

;D

Wonder what he pays for "face insurance". ;)

Thought about a custom color-matched Davida for my T100 briefly, especially since the cute chick on their website on the round case looked hot and it DOES get rather warm here in the summer..., and then I remembered the bugs in the teeth, the hard-shell bug wounds, wasps, etc., etc...., and bagged the idea! http://davida.co.uk/ (http://davida.co.uk/)

no open face for me

I would use it for occasional use around town and not for anything high speed. Not that a bug in the face at 60km/h wouldn't be painful.  ;)

wow, thoroughly impressed with ryan reynolds. His bike is sweet and his not standing still! But the fact that brad pitt has the same bike as me, makes my ego get that much bigger.

It would make me want to get a different  ducati. :D

I went down hard when i was 20 and if it weren't for my full face i would have only half a chin right now.
I would never wear an open face but that's me.

I know this is an old quote to pull but damn, this guy is crazy.  His real problem is he lives in Columbia, not that he lives in SC.  I live in the upstate of SC and really if you are anywhere near any part of the western border of the state there is no end to the wonderful roads to ride.  From any hill in the upstate I can get beautiful mountain views. I can be in the mountains in 20-30 min depending on which way I take.

I am that guy. Yes I know about the upstate, but when I am that close to western NC, I would just keep on going till I crossed the state line.

With the exception of the upstate region the rest of SC is as bad as columbia or worse. So istand by assessment of the state as dismal for MC riding.

I would have loved if she had a 900 chromo tank finish on it for that very reason.

Regarding the Desmosedici on the next slide..
"And that's not his only motorcycle. Back in 2010, the action star was spotted cruising around town on a sport bike manufactured by well-known maker Ducati. Cruise even touted the company by wearing one of its racing jackets." 

That's Ducati's racing jacket, eh?  [roll]

Isnt the largest percentage of helmet impact area the chin?

(http://dontai.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/helmetcrashdiagram.gif)

Hmm.  These guys live off their faces.  You'd think they'd spent top $$ for MotoGP quality helmets.  But at least they have the sense to use full face models and not some brain bucket.

I would have thought by now someone would have called him out for the reflectors on the fork and the stickers on the frame.  Wow. the forum is slipping. ;D 

Jim

There's a guy and a motorcycle in that picture?

Yeah, it must be one of those teasers coming off the new NatGeo Brain Games show ;D

I have to admit that this just makes me more of a fan of Adrien Brody.  I thought he was brilliant in 'The Pianist' so the fact that he rides a Ducati makes me like him just a little bit more.   [thumbsup]

Someone should talk to him about his choice in motorcycle helmets though.

What exactly is wrong with the helmet? Is it the type or manufacturer?

The Davida open face helmets meet Euro standards, and are great for monster or cafe bike riding.

And here is your answer!

 Davida meeting Euro standards tells me nothing about SDRider's opinion on that type of helmet.

I think SDRider's point was that those who base most (if not all) of their livelihood on their face might want to protect it better.

I wonder if he even owns that Monster Diesel.
I remember Nicky Hayden And Brody were in NYC to promote the "Diesel" monster. They were all decked out in Diesel and Ducati apparel.
I'm sure he took that bike out with hot chick in-tow just to be seen on it, propably under the request of the promoting agency..   

That's his girlfriend.

Sweet  [thumbsup]

for all the 'ride your own ride' I hear everywhere, there's an equal amount of judgmental bullshit.

That's a Diesel Hi-Jack helmet made by AGV.  I bought one because I had been wanting something open faced for riding around town on hot days.  When I still had my Sport 1000 I really wanted a Bell 500 because I loved the retro look, but I didn't think it suited the Monster, so I started looking for something more modern, and the Diesel Hi-Jack won.  Sure, it isn't the safest or most practical helmet, and I won't be using it on the highway for several reasons, but it sure looks cool with the dark tinted visor pulled down.  ;)

At least he's wearing a helmet.

It's the law. He has to if he wants to ride around in LA looking pregnant dogin.

LOL....true.
Wear what you want.  Riding a motorcycle is dangerous, how much risk are you willing to take!?
I ride to and from getting am coffee....in sunglasses & iphone (2 miles) in my neighborhood.

BTW,   Lara Lieto, Adrien Brody's girlfriend is SUPER hot!!!

It's an open face helmet. 

I'm not the best looking guy on the planet but I don't really want my chin scraped off in an accident either. So, because I actually log thousands of miles of riding a year, I wear a full face helmet.  I guess if he's just doing press photos with his GF on the back then he's good.

Personally I think his GF is wearing way too much gear.

THIS1 [thumbsup]



And I ride thousands of miles a year (down from 10's of thousands a year) and have so for hundreds of thousands of miles WEARING AN OPEN FACE HELMET.

Jebuzfrickingkeyrist why do you think you are so smart or special?

 [roll]

My decision to wear a full face helmet is reaffirmed every time a huge bug or small rock slams into my chin bar at 80 MPH. I always think, "Damn, that would hurt like hell if I was wearing one of those beanie helmets."

sometimes it feels like rain here in florida when riding through a swarm of flying insects.

+1

I've also crashed twice where my face shield took some damage. Nothing terrible, but would have been had it been my skin. Sure, those were racing crashes...but when you start tumbling, all bets are off on what hits the ground.

I have more of a problem with his skinny jeans than his helmet though!  [laugh]

Which is totally fine, and yes, sometimes a big or small rock DOES HURT, but it's not a particularly big deal.

I've got an Arai Quantum which I've worn on and off (mostly winter and rain riding), but most days I prefer my AGV 3/4 (I do have a flip down visor on that which helps with unexpected rain or say a truck kicking up debris for a few miles) or my HJC 3/4.

But these days I don't spend a lot of time at 80 mph on any of our rides...


Oh, and of the THREE TIMES I've crashed in my decades of riding my helmets have NEVER TOUCHED THE GROUND. That's not to say that it can't happen and I DO ALWAYS WERE ONE, but I'm pointing out odds. Hell, just look at the hurt report and you'll see odds are that in an accident when the helmet does hit something it will likely NOT be the face or chin.

Again, not saying it can't or won't happen, just that it's a calculated risk. You guys may decide to take more or less risks than I do, but I'm not gonna second guess your decisions. They may involve more speed, or more traffic, or ______________, but those are your calls.

RIDE SAFE!

Actually that's not what it says at all. It says your chin is the most likely place to impact. 19.4% of the time for the right side and 15.2% of the time for the left. The face is quite a bit lower, between 4% and 6% of the time, but still in the mid-range. The crown of your head and temples are the least likely place to impact.

(http://dontai.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/helmetcrashdiagram.gif)

To each their own...isn't my face!

Yeah, I used to ride with a guy whose friend lost half of his face in a wreck and did not die right away.  That pretty much solidified my full face helmet wearin'.  That said, I just moved my bike into our parking garage due to a storm at work, and it is oh so nice riding free like that... I totally understand not wanting to wear a full face helmet.

I disagree, it says the chin will only strike in 34.6% of the time meaning that 65.4% of the time it won't - i.e. that impacts, IF THEY OCCUR, will occur elsewhere.

And since those statistics add up to 100% they are NOT counting times when the helmet doesn't hit anything at all (like my 3 crashes).

According to that graphic if you crash, and your head connects with pavement: you have a 35% chance of it being your jaw. Those are pretty scary odds IMO.

That being said I'm a SOTGMOTT guy. I'll pop on a pair of goggles to go a few blocks for coffee, but if I'm going on the freeway I'll wear full face helmet and jacket. Only on a long tour will I wear gloves and very rarely will I wear special pants.

You need to re-read the Hurt report. It is absolutely in favor of full face helmets. Read all the notes, including more then just the helmet section. Your argument, to say that a 35% chance of impacting your face/chin isn't concerning, is laughable. That's some shit odds no matter how you look at it.

if you include the visor area and the small areas to the left and right of the visor it's a whopping 44.4% chance those areas will hit, if your noggin hits the pave. 44.4 is creeping up on a fiddy fiddy shot man.

And of the two close friends I know that have had offs, the both hit in those areas. As the last crash I saw (track) dude slid on his visor and chin bar quite well.

I'll keep my full facers.

I didn't claim the Hurt report wasn't in favor of full face helmets.

I also didn't say a 35% chance of impacting your face/chin isn't "concerning" - but thanks for the attitidue  [roll]

I said those are odds, and that each person can analyze those odds for themselves and make their own decisions.

Take into account where you ride, how you ride, what you ride, even when you ride.

But let's remember that the 35% chance of an impact is what the Hurt report found WHEN A HELMET CONTACTS SOMETHING IN AN ACCIDENT.

So that 35% chance is not "my chance of striking my chin when I ride my motorcycle" it's the percentage chance of striking my chin IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND HIT MY FACE/HELMET on something when I do.

And the other factors I mentioned above all have a much greater effect on the "odds" of me having an accident, most especially riding sober.

In literally over 20 years and more than 250,000 miles I've had only 3 accidents (all involving compromised road conditions - 2 in rain, 1 on gravel) and in NONE of them did my helmet strike anything.

I'm not claiming that it can't happen.

I'm not claiming that there isn't a risk involved.

I'm simply saying make your own decision and live (or not) with it.

But please don't get sanctimonious about other's choices. Especially IF you don't ride ATGATT.

And let's all remember that the vast majority of the public thinks we are crazy for riding these things ANYTIME under ANY CONDITIONS, so their risk vs. reward analysis would still look a lot different from yours despite your FF helmet.

Those numbers don't escape me, BUT BUT BUT - take a look at an open face (3/4 helmet, I don't wear 1/2 shells) they have a significant area protruding around the forehead and often cheeks which MAY prevent or minimize impact with a road surface. I know just from bumping my helmeted head on things when leaning in for a closer look (say checking something on a bike with the helmet on - or attempting to give my wife a kiss with the helmet on etc).

Granted uneven surfaces, rocks, trees etc can post a hazard, I'm just saying that again, the Hurt numbers don't tell the whole story.



Notice you mention a track accident - good chance the speeds and conditions of that accident differ from what I tend to expose myself to on a regular basis. Again, not saying it can't happen, just talking about odds.



I'm not trying to talk anyone out of it. I'm just saying don't be too cocksure that others are "wrong" with their choices.

OK.........

Any choice is a good one until it isn't....

That said
(http://i41.tinypic.com/xcrxjr.jpg)

If you choose to wear other then a full face helmet, knowing you have a 35% chance of striking your face or chin IF your head makes contact with something during an accident, you surely aren't concerned. If it was 2-3% I could understand your decision, not when it's more then a third of the time.

As far as "attitude", that started here:

  [bacon] [drool]

whos that? and why isnt she on a ducati?

Seems like all the celebs are riding their Duc from the showroom around town a few times and that's it. God knows Bieber probably hasn't ridden his 848 anymore.

i have to say I'm impressed with Justin Theroux's choose. It looks like it's actually ridden on a regular basis and all the mods are the kinds of mods well all tend to do, subtle for the most part. I really like the black Bipp in black on the front fender.

Remember, when famous people crash without gear, they're fine because of their specialness.

he's not a celebrity if I've never heard of him.

I don't know who he is either but I'm mid 40s and don't give a shit about who's hot and who's not. I am definitely impressed with the bike though and the fact that it looks like it gets ridden enough to look like it does.

I wiki'd him because I had no clue

Lisalla Montenegro.

Is that a M750 or did 900's also have wet clutch or do I not know what I am looking at?

Interesting front blinkers....blue.

That's a 900. Wet clutch with a closed cover (you can tell by the shape), and it has an oil cooler which the smalled displacement bikes don't have.

I have a M750 with a oil cooler in that spot...Maybe I really have a 900?    *hoping* cause it really feels like its smaller (the engine).

The 750 had a cooler too. You've got a 750

no...that is definitely a 900...looks like it might be a 2000 or a 2001...nice execution no matter what!

D'oh...didn't know that.  :P

That oil cooler is the older style, so I think it is a 2000 or older, as my 2001 had the less boxy version.

yep. That's a 2000 900.

Money. Fame. Getting ready to marry Jennifer Aniston. Rolls on a 13 year old monster. Taste just can't be bought.

I got no prob with that actually has more credibility to me. [thumbsup]

 [thumbsup]

Absolutely, wasn't intended imply anything else. I respect that it's an older bike with lots of good mods. Not a new one with nothing more than a set of new pipes if that.

Anyone know what kind of master cylinders and reservoirs he has here?

look like old goldlines with rizoma reservoirs

I want his reservoirs, backpack, and girlfriend. Leave him on the curb with his penis helmet.

rizoma maybe from the look but that's just my guess.

could be flebay knockoff too :D

But, here she is, actaully on a Ducati

(http://ozebook.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/keira-knightley-motorcycle-chanel-ad-paris-15.jpg)

personally, just because he has money, doesn't mean he has to spend it frivolously....look at the fact that he is riding a cool as hell nicely and subtley modded 13 yo M900 Dark...they could be knock-offs and it really wouldn't matter, because the end result is, he probably gets more smiles per dollar spent than most Celebs with Duc's...

Have you ever ridden a SBK on the street, especially an italian one? I'd take a Monster over a SBK for a street ride any day, no matter how much money I had! SBKs are great, but not on the street IMO.

Depends what street/road, no?
Or maybe where you live? Maybe not in urbania but where I live, it would work.

This ^. And I really like his bike, as well as the way he modded it. Gotta tip my cap to the guy. Still want that backpack and those reservoirs tho

Those look like the stock plastic pee cups painted black.

Sure, and some can handle the quirks (uncomfortable, heat, etc) better than others.

Personally, I'd rather have something other than a SBK for pretty much any street conditions. The choice has zero to do with money.

For Justin (celeb) it wasn't a money issue.  Probably not a commuter bike either........just a cool toy!!   Maybe he doesnt have enough riding time to jump on to a SBK.
That said, I would rather ride a Pani up to StarBucks for that morning java than virtually any other bike out there.

Oh BTW......I would like a nice romp on a RSV4R!!

I think Jennifer Aniston would be more fun.

 [evil] [evil]
 [evil] [evil]      [Dolph]

I bet the RSV would give you less backtalk and better feedback....

The discussion around these photos is quite entertaining ... thanks. Since there seems to be a lot of speculation going on ... I'll add some more starting with the most likely explanation:

. the subtley modded, 13 year old Monster was bought as is (perhaps, only minutes before the photos were taken) - complete with rizoma/ebay-knock-off/painted-stock-pee-cup/darkest-fluid-in-desparate-need-of-a-change reservoirs
.. his SO bought it for him off craigslist and he is only riding it to stay in the good books
... the bike actually belongs to a member on here - and his SO had to make an indecent proposal to the owner so her man could take it for a spin (discretion being part of the deal)

I would love to have that bike. Makes me miss my 900 badly.

Notice the seat cowl is gone..I would hope to see some pics with a passenger, i.e. Jennifer on back!

Maybe!  [laugh]

Well technically she's not ON the Ducati but...

So they place the bike, bold as can be in the shot, but covered over the Ducati on the tank and clutch cover...

Maybe the movie picked the Ducati because it is the coolest bike, but when they went to Ducati asking for $$ for advertising, they blew them off.
Do they covered the brand name in return :D

It's a spy bike. It has to be incognito! Would be totally cool if they put a Honda logo on it for camouflage.
