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

Good to see this thread still around.... 

My bike's not been out much of late, bad weather and the cage is getting attention.
But I took it out on the long weekend that just passed here in Sydney for a little blat up to a bunch of shops were a friend plays in a band (Crows Nest for those that know sydney).

I park on the footpath behind the band who is on their brake, they all come over and the brake goes for a little too long as were all talking about the bike now. Some of the Cafe' goers are starting too gather and look too...
Cafe' manager comes out and ask's whats going on, why isn't the band playing. Band goes back and manager says to me, "your bike is a bad influence mate!" with a smile.

Leaving Starbucks around 1:30am after a long night of studying , girl posted up on gsxr black sitting on her bike right outside sb.  Seems like she was waiting all night to see who rode the bike.  As soon as I walked out and put helmet on the bike she says "nice bike", and yes, she was hawt.  I was tired and went home.  FML.  I've seen her bike there before and am sure I'll see her again, lol but I have a gf so.......

Isabella don't like to do less than 90 (on the speedo, so i guess that's more like 82)

Might be closer then you think.
I was running 95 on speedometer and GPS indicated 89.  I know it's not a big difference but you might want to borrow a GPS and see how accurate your speedo is.  20+ over the limit is a lot worse then 19- over limit

Couple of incidents just a week ago while I was back home.

1)  I was at the local BMW dealership who now also carry Ducatis to see the Streetfighter.  It was in the back for some maintenance so my son-in-law and I were waiting for someone who would let us go back to see it.  While waiting I noticed a guy looking at my bike and I think he might have actually walked around our bikes three times.  This had already put a smile on my face and I walked out to see if he had any questions.  He asked a few questions and then told me that his son has a M750 and daughter-in-law has an 848.  He said he was thinking about taking some pictures and I said to help himself.  That's when my son-in-law called outside to let me know that we could go back to look at the Streetfighter.

2)  I was riding back home on 99 North from visiting my mom.  I was just pacing along behind a long line of cars trying to get past the line in the slow lane when I notice this big black four-wheel drive truck coming up fast on my right.  I was just thinking "where does this tool think he's going" when he stayed just to my right.  When I look over to see what was his deal I noticed him looking down at my bike and mouthing "du-ca-ti" and then start to slow down to match his previous speed.  I thought that was cool as shit as he apparently thought it was worth the time just to find out what it was.

OK, so compliments don't have to come in long conversations, the little ones can be just as rewarding as the big attention getting ones. So that being said in the last 24hrs I had 2 people compliment my Monster.

The first was when I was parked at a local grocery store. While I was talking to my sweetheart on the phone and just sitting there with gear in hand, a guy walks past and says "nice bike". What hit me so much with that was that he clearly saw that I was on the phone and still felt the need to point out to me that he liked my Monster!!!  Thanks man!

The second happened this morning as I was un-gearing in the motorcycle parking lot at work. A husband and wife pulled up on their matching dirt bikes (very sweet that they rode together to work and matched with both bikes and gear), and of course gave me the ritual head nod. But as I walked away, I noticed them both walking over and checking out my Monster. 

I love my Ducati!!!  What a great way to start the day! Hope everyone else is having a great day too!

I had a feel-good moment yesterday.
Kid, about 8-10 years, mentally handicapped hanging around outside a diner with his father.
There were some Harleys there, but he insisted on staying right in front of mine.
When I was ready to leave he asked "are you riding the red one?" - he asked again three times, more elevated each time.

So, I geared up, sat on the bike and asked if he would help me start it.
Checking me, his father, the bike and back again - hesitated a bit, but held his father's hand and pushed the button.

Not a word, but I'm sure you can imagine his face and body language.
Ducati has a life long fan, I guess [moto]
