Now we're talking!   Details, details

Idk-that's two posts about some girl he seduced on the beach with his "italian beauty" but no mention of how the girl looked.


I'm guessing two bagger

Along the same lines as the last story. A few years back, I was on a ride with a friend. We stopped by the hotel that I worked for at the time for a bite to eat. It was about 9pm on a friday night. We walked in and the place was pakced. There was a Lacross tounement at U of MD. There was a bunch of girls teams as well. So the place is packed with Lacross hotties from some private school in NJ.
Me: wow, whats going on here?
My buddy: @^%$ im married!
Me: Im not!
Lacross hottie #1: I ride
Me: What do you ride?
Lacross hottie #1: Guys who ride Ducatis
My Buddy: Get the #$@% out of here!
Lacross hottie #2:Me too
Lacross hottie #3:I ride her(#2)
Me: lets go for a quick ride then. I took all three of them for a ride around the block and we then went up to an empty suite. They %$#&ed me and I let them have the room for the rest of the weekend. My friend still is pissed at me to this day.

I think this post requires pics for validity.

Hey is that your Ducati laying over on it's side out there?

[needtorque]

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. 

You make the beast with two backsed your bike?

First of all this thread rocks!!!

Here are a few of my most memorable:

-When I first got my bike my father-in-law and brother-in-law came over to check it out and they obviously had never been around Ducati's before because as soon as I started it up and they heard the full Termi's they just looked at each other in shock and one of them said, "Whoa, I didn't expect it to sound like that!!!". I just smiled to myself and pretended not to hear.  

-Leaving the gym one day I revved my bike pretty high when I started it and set a car alarm off. A guy walked up to me and said "that alarm you set off is three cars down! That's awesome!!!"

I'm with you on this one...!! Pics or it didn't happen LOL

When I first bought mine, a guy at work says to me...
"A Ducati? When you ride that thing down the road women will throw their panties at you!"
Still waiting for that to happen.


Yesterday while my wife was out, I started the bike in the garage for a minute.
When she came home, she walked in the kitchen and said "It smells like Ducati in here!"

Randall...is that you?

Two teenagers in daddy's Z4 M at a traffic light near the "hawks nest" in NY: "OMG DUDE A DUCATI!!!" I had to laugh at that. Then the light turned green and I blew their doors off.

This thread is awesome 

I've gotten the standard at stop lights and kids on sidewalks nodding their heads, smiling and throwing a thumbsup.

But these are my favorites:

- A guy that worked at same building as me says "Oh, that's your Ducati out back?"
  I say "Yep."
  He's says "Nice bike.  I call it the Bat Bike."  (It's a Black 07 S2R800 with black tank cover and CF bits)

- A few weeks after buying the Monster I went down to visit my mom.  As I'm getting ready to leave one of my young cousins and her husband comes by to see my sister.  Her husband sees the bike and get's all excited.  He starts telling her "Just look at that.  It's beautiful.  It's a Ducati."  Then he starts pointing out and explaining to her about the SSS, CF, Brembo, etc.  I think I rode with a smile on my face the whole way home.  (2-2.5 hour ride)

[Dirt Monster]

The direct quote was:

I was shot after basically getting to that rock step thing. I cant imagine how much aleve it would have required to do the whole thing. Glad I didnt have the TKC's on or I may have given it a better shot and would probably have required a ride home due to a broken bike.

That tire on your Ducati looks like it could possibly roost pavement 

This is the bike:



This was the ride: 



"roost pavement"... it still cracks me up.

I wore my Lego visor for the first time today.  On the way to lunch, I stopped at a light.  From the lane next to me, I heard "That thing sounds f*cking fast."

I turned and looked at the guy hanging out of his pickup window, admiring my bike.  I gave the throttle a blip as he did a double-take.

"Woah, nice visor!" he said.

I grinned inside and out, and rode off with the changing light.

We're chillin with a coffee, gearing up and about to head out. A rap on the window of the cafe brings my attention to a metermaid outside hailing me.

"Hey you, your Duc?" Shows me the ticket pad. We leap outside, quarter in hand. The meter had run out :30 sec prior.

- metermaid - "I'd hate to start the day giving 2 Ducati's tickets. ...That Monster is my favorite bike! Beautiful!... have a nice day... In San Francisco, you'd have 2 tickets waiting for you. [cheesy grin]"

One for the books.
