Best/favorite thing someone's said about your Monster?

Dude!  Everyone knows you measure sag with a tap-measure not a camera

That's right. Everyone knows that the Hands-On approach works best.

Had stopped to get a drink/energy bar at a c-store. When I got back outside, an older lady approaches me as I'm gearing up and says, with a thick northern Italian accent "I like-a your bike-a, it's from Italy, like me!" Turned out she was a tourist, and apparently she saw the bike and had her husband pull over and wait for me to come out of the store... We chatted for a bit, she suggested I should visit Venice (where she's from) and Bologna, but also mentioned the earthquake.

Out for a ride with my dad today (he rides a V-strom) and sitting at a light a truck pulled up beside us and the guy yelled to my dad, "what does his exhaust smell like?", and drove off.  My dad didn't get it, but I thought it was funny.

Some hipsters took photos of me as I rode past their school yesterday, that was excellent.

gf took it to work today, thumbs up from some dude in an F430. Italians stick together.

subway parking lot, couple of young guys walk by as I'm getting my gear on, and give the typical nice bike, how fast does it go, etc.  routine.

Then the last thing he says as he's walking away:
"God that thing must be fast.  I have an R6 and feel pretty tough on that, but man, yours is crazy."

...aircooled 750.

Was at the grocery store, and when I was coming out I saw a guy looking at my 696. Of course, I stopped for a while just to see what he was doing. What was interesting is how he was looking at it. He started in front of the bike with his arms crossed and one hand on his chin. He squatted down a little to get a better angle. Then he walked to the side of the bike. moved forward and backward like an art critic just looking... looking... tilting his head occasionally. Finally I could not wait around any longer so I walked up to the bike. The guy complimented me on the bike and went about his business.

OR ... "hmmm is there an alarm attached", "I see the blinking light, how do I hotwire this thing?"

Last week while walking through the lobby leaving work, I noticed the 15 year old kid who mows the grass stopped on the sidewalk, looking at the Monster from about 30 feet away.  When I opened the door to walk out and he quickly engaged the mower and started cutting the grass again.  When I started the bike, he turned his head quickly around to take another look and he ran into the handicap sign the parking lot!

Lol. Didn't think of it that way...

This is Richmond (Midlothian anyway) VA, so maybe a little less chance of that...

The last time an old guy did something similar with mine, paying particular attention to the brakes and suspension, while I was sitting outside having lunch in a small county seat south of here, when I finally walked over, he introduced himself and explained that he'd been an AMA Pro flat tracker for years!

Sweet - I love those kind of situations.

Went into a small college here to see a kid (via work) and Ron Haslam was there giving a presentation, needless to say I found a lame excuse to hang around for an extra hour
