Sitting on my Monster in a mall parking lot adjusting my gear.

2 kids gotta be 8 or 9 or something.

1 kid says thats MY motorcycle.  While pointing at me.  Kid 2 says NO ITS NOT,  THATS MYYY MOTORCYCLE..  BIG fight  ensued.

I just shook my head and left.  Looked in my mirror and  noticed they stopped fighting and were watching me leave 


Maybe next time some college girl will throw her panties at me instead.........

Well there weren't any words involved per se, but a couple of weeks ago I pulled up behind a school bus filled with 10-11 year olds who proceeded to cluster up around the rear window and make revving gestures with their hands. Naturally I shook my head so that they sat back down looking disappointed... before letting her rip!

Needless to say, an entire busload of kids whooping and cheering at your bike makes for a pleasant little ego boost!

Pulled up next to a classic mint condition Rolls Royce and we both gave each other thumbs up simultaneously.

This pic reminds me of an unemployed friend I once had.  He call one day very excited to say he found a job he loved.

Me:  What's the job?

Him: Diesel Fitter.

Me: What?

Him: Diesel Fitter at an panty factory.

Me: What the hell is a Diesel Fitter?

Him: When the panties come of the line I take a pair and put them on my head.  I shake my head around vigorously and say, "Dees'll fit her."

Parked at Jamestown Settlement and this guy on a Honda RC 51 comes across the parking lot and stops by me.

"I just had to come over and see what this was 'cuz it sounded so make the beast with two backsin' nasty when you rode in.  That is one nasty bike."

Made my day

Was at my buddies house and when I was getting ready to leave and was warming my m900sie up when one of the little ghetto neighbor girls runs up and says, " Is that a race bike?"   I laughed, told her yes and roared off.  I love the sound of my sil moto high pipes.

Hey, runs at the drag strip count don't they?

Best thing:
"You? A Ducati? Now that's a real bike"

[Bun-bun]

Today, packing up to leave Natural bridge, two monsters loaded on the back of my truck, this guy comes all the way across the parking lot.
"Hey, are those Buells?"
"No, Ducatis"
"Oh, I've seen them in the bike magazines"
Shakes his head points to mine "That black one looks evil, man!"

No cool girl stories, but I get lustful looks from them as they sit next to their boyfriends in his car.

I had a cop pull me over one time as I was sitting at a light, apparently I was doing 60 in a 35 and he radared me from behind after he said I was already slowing down.  He asked me why I rode a Ducati and said at first he thought it was a Buell but it was much better looking.  He said he saw me turning and knew I was going to get on it down the hill.  He let me off with a warning and said he would be watching for me. 

I get thumbs ups and horns all the time and even had a MILF in a Range Rover compliment it once.

[DucatiTorrey]

"that thing looks like the batmobile!" (my 696 dark) "we need to get you a cape!"

and

"you riding a motorcycle?"
me with my helmet, duh  "yep"
"those things are dangerous"
"yep" walk away

So I'm running late last Saturday to have my rear master cylinder replaced under warrantee.  I have to cut clear across Hollywood to get to the Ducati dealer on La Cienega here in LA.  Locals have told me that in such cases to skip using the main streets like Sunset, Santa Monica, Melrose, etc.  Instead, take Fountain.  It's a smaller street, but less traffic and fewer lights.

Well, as I approached on of these fewer lights it turned yellow.  Being late I twisted the thottle and zipped into the intersection.  It was about that time I saw an LA cop on a BMW moto with a radar gun.  CRAP!  Worse, there was a weird second light right after the first and it went from yellow to red just as I hit the intersection.

So as I pull throught the intersection I couldn't help but notice him in my mirrors pulling out into traffic behind me.  I didn't wait for the lights and pulled over.

About the time I was off the bike and pulling my helmet off he was walking up behind my bike where I was standing and I heard him say, in a kinda drawn out hip way, "NIIICE."

I knew I had a chance.  He asked, "What's wrong with you, didn't you see me?"  I said yeah, but by then it was too late.

He said, "I'm here everyday so watch out.  Running a light will cost you about $436.00, and I didn't even have time to get the laser on you."  Guess it wasn't a radar gun after all.

He told me to cool it and get going.

And of course, chicks dig it too.

Niiice.

I was heading back from the Slimy Crud Run Sunday afternoon and driving through an area with a large Amish Community.  They had all just gotten out of church for the day and were all trotting down the road in their black buggies.  One of the guys driving an oncoming buggy gave me a big smile and a thumbs up as I went past.  If that isn't validation, I don't know what is!
