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

I'm waiting for the rest of the story as well.

Probably my fav was from a young worker in an auto parts store. "That is the best sounding motorcycle I've ever heard." Well ya figure that he was early 20's so he hadn't heard that many but... BTW, S2R-1000 w/ Spark mid pipe and Arc Fabrication , baffled, slash cut megs.

An old timer at the John Deere dealer: "I bet that's a real road burner."

Nice thread BTW.

My gf grabs my ass every time she is near my bike and me at the same time. So, does it count if she doesn't _say_ anything?

[Jarvicious]

I guess this one wasn't really a compliment, per se, but it still makes me laugh.  I parked on the side of the road downtown at 11:30 in a college town......

Get off bike
Drunk Dude #1:  Sell it
Me: huh?
Drunk Dude #1:  Sell that shit.
Me (still equally confused, pause for a second, then..): huh???
Drunk Dude #1:  That shit's gotta be worth hella bank (and no, I'm not making this up)
Me, becoming more afraid to leave bike in said location: it wasn't that much.  Why would I sell it?
Drunk Dude #1, with his friends becoming confused as well: Worth what, like 50 G's???  Sell that shit.
Me, totally baffled: I just bought it, why would I sell it??
Drunk Dude #1 finally looses interest.  I proceed on to delicious late night mexican.

I just remembered this one that I’ve been holding onto for a long time.  It is September 11, the September 11.  I hear the news about the World Trade center on the clock radio as it wakes me up (I never set my radio to that station again).   In shock I go to work.  About an hour after I get to work the President sends us home, I’m a federal employee.  I tell the boss I just want to get a few things done.  He says, “get the hell out.”

I’m not sure what to do but soon decide I’ll take a long ride on the monster to get my head clear.  I need something (don’t remember what it was) and stop at an autopart store on my way out of town.  Inside the news is on and I start a conversation with the 2 guys there about the events of the day.  I mention that I have just been dismissed from work.  One of the guys, who looks to be Arab American, said, “Those damn govt. people get off for every damn excuse.” 

I go ballistic and fire back, “F*ck you.”  I must have had fire in my eyes cause I wanted to tear the guys head off.  He must have realized that his job might be on the line if this escalated any further and he walked away.  I payed for my stuff, walked outside, started my bike, began putting on my gear, and out walked the guy that I just had the confrontation with. 

He says, “I heard your bike and I thought it was a Harley but there was something different about the sound.”  He goes on to complement the bike.  Now there is a lot more to this little conversation than discussion about the bike.  It was mostly about the day and the tense emotion of the moment and acknowledging that we both understood why we had our altercation.  And all that was accomplished by sound of a monster and a few nice words about Ducati.

Her: Uh... I don't think I am going to fit on that.

Female coworker:
                           "Can you take me for a ride? I have been on many bikes, but never on a real one"

The other day ( the FIRST day I had EVER ridden my Ducati to work -- (just got it last Tuesday)) a guy came into my store:

Guy: Is that your Ducati outside?
Me: Yeah, just picked it up
Guy: You know, only Studs ride Ducatis!
Me: What can I say to that?

[DucatiBastard]

I didn't actually hear this but as i was sitting in Hardees with the bike parked outside (i sat so i could watch it, of course)  business-suit guy goes walking by, does double-take and i see him say "whoa..."
 

huge grin through the rest of my burger.

Ahem, wife, kids ... I just left with the biggest grin I've had in years.

[Popeye the Sailor]

Ahem, wife, kids ... I just left with the biggest grin I've had in years.

I knew he wouldn't say anything. After all......discretion is the better part of valor 

[akmnstr]

Ahem, wife, kids ... I just left with the biggest grin I've had in years.

Okay, I asked for it, but I must say this is the biggest let down of the day.

The answer I had dreamed up was way better

While getting gas one day, the pump jockey (Oregon has no self-serve gas) says:

"Man, that bike looks criminal."
