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

I was drinking so a ride on the bike was out of the question, we went down on the beach instead... Grin

And then what happened? 

Some of us married dudes live vicariously through the experiences of you single guys.  Not that I would trade place for anything, but a good
fantasy is a healthy thing.  Keeps the blood moving to the proper places .

I got an scowl and a hurried window roll up yesterday, guess I was interrupting her phone call.

Also had some dood in a 600SL try to take me off the line at a stop light.....that was entertaining.

AND 

A guy in a mint green Testarossa () give me the thumbs up on 355.  Most hideous color Ive ever seen on a vehicle.....worse that the Subaru Gold/Grandma/Green. 

Not bad for a 10 mile putt in between appointments.

I rolled up between a zucki and a Porsche. They decided they were going to squeeze me out when the light turned green as both squealed wheels
No. I decided they weren't.

The first nice warm Tuesday of the year was two days ago, so I hurried home from work so I could ride in to class. I rolled into the parking lot at school (which was filled with people "tailgating" for class... just hanging around outside) and found my way to the bike paddock. The whole parking lot is blacktop, but they have a concrete pad just for bikes, so I took advantage of it.

Anyways, short story long... As I was shutting off the bike, I can hear someone literally running in my direction and some chick yelling "Oh my freakin GOD, a Ducati!". I barely had my helmet off and she was already going on about how a monster is her dream bike and how she really wants one blah blah blah. So I made her day and said "You can sit on it if you want". After she sat on it for a minute, she gets off it and I'd almost think she was tearing up. She said "Wow, you're such a sweetie, thanks so much" and lays a friendly hug on me. Nothing like a big booby college girl hug to brighten up an exam day.

I went to Cycle Gear to pick up some oil.

Employee "What bike do you have?"
ME "Monster 696"
Employee "NICE! My dad has a S2R800. I hate going in to my garage in my bike since his is so nice. Suzuki.... the Ducati hahahaha."
ME "Suzuki's are nice. I like them."
Employee "Do you have Termignonis? It's should be the only exhaust that ANYONE puts on Ducs!"
ME "Why yes I do. I love the sound. I've never heard anything as awesome sounding as a Ducati."
Employee " Sweet. I'm gonna step outside so I can hear it when you take off."

I walk outside and start her up and give her a couple revs. He gives me the thumbs up and I take off.

This same day...

As I was finishing gassing up some middle aged guy walks up to me and says:

MAG "OH MY GOD! What an awesome bike! How many CCs?"
ME "696"
MAG "I used to have a Monster 620. I love these new Monsters. They look so awesome! Let me hear it!"

So I give it a couple revs.

MAG "Brings back memories. Only Ducatis can sound as awesome as this!"
ME "Yes they do. Later man!"

Needless to say, the word awesome was used a lot of times in our short conversation.

And another comment from my riding buddy, not about the bike, but about me.
"You're getting faster man. You need a full suit!"
That made my day.

A girl came up the the parking lot where I used to store the bike and was watching me take off my leathers

she purrs:  "ooo, a ducati.. if i can ride that, maybe i'll ride you too..."

i swear.  dinner was all i got out of it tho! 

(I wouldn't let her ride the bike alone!)

From my tech...

"I've never seen one do that before".

I feel so special.

With reference to what did your tech say that?

Priorities, priorities

With reference to what did your tech say that?

The fact that my stock battery box/airbox has disintegrated from battery acid. I didn't think plastic would do that.

The battery was sitting on the bolt for the ground cable on the left side.

The hoses from the breather are disintegrated also...I'm blaming ozone for that.

The bike took a pretty good whack last fall when I decided I should slam it to the ground.

Maybe that had something to do with the battery box.   He doesn't think so.

Coming from ducvet, that's high praise indeed.

Nope, all was working as it should. The waves, the moonlight, and the sight of an Italian beauty was enough for me to work my A game.
