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

[sroberts152]

I just recently had a guy get out of his car and talk to me.  He says "duck-tie... How do you pronounce that?"  I say Du-Ca-ti, nice and slow and he looks a little confused.  I tell him that it's Italian for "Fast".  He nods in recognition and goes on his way.

Rinding home from work yesterday, spotted a Ford Model T driving down the road (ok I love classic cages) pulled along side to check it out and the old guy (had to be 80) driving stops 100 ft before he has to at the next light to say he likes my bike as much as I like his car.  I return the compliment on his classic I know I drove off with a shit eating grin, I think he did as well.

Stopped at the gas station at lunch today, and when I came out a squid wearing no shirt, shorts and tennis shoes was walking out behind me to his Honda Shadow.  He parked next to my bike and while I was putting my helmet on he asked me "How fast you had her up to?"
Me- Not too fast.
Squid- C'mon, don't lie.  These things are FAST!
Me- I don't know, about 85 I think.
Squid- Back in '02 I rode one of those.  Got it up to 160 and she still would've gone faster.  I'll never do that again.

He started his bike and rode off.  I wonder if he knows the guy with the 140 mph M620.

The mechanic at the local Honda shop during the state inspection: "I guess the tires pass, but what the hell did you do to them?" 
I had just come from a 2 day track event.

someone came up to my s4r and started taking photos with his cellphone camera. told his girlfriend or wife it was the sexiest thing he's ever seen. I was sitting 5-10 feet away at a cafe having coffee while keeping an eye on it. he didn't even notice me sitting near by with my helmet on the table.

I've told this story before but my favourite was a gorgeous brunette pulling up next to me at the lights in here SIV -"That's a sexy make the beast with two backsing bike", she says. Then just drives off.

And then.......?

I pull up at a red traffic light. The open clutch, cluck, cluck, clucking away. An old bird, prolly about 65 yrs old pulls up next to me in her grocery getter. Its really hot, her window is rolled down. I see her looking over at me. I shut my bike off and she says, " Is that my car or your bike making that racket?" I grin and say its my bike. She says, " You have to get those tappets seen to."
I grin and fire up the beast. And take off at high speed, faulty tappets and all. Hahahahahahaha

Why don't I have any hot, young, nubile members of the opposite sex stories? No idea.

[redial]

haha

riding through traffic like the young irresponsible bastard i am, stuck behind a line of cars at a red light i creep up, and when the light turns green, tear in front of a red convertible before it can get off the line


it pulls up to me at the next light and a hot late thirties woman starts talking
-great, about to get scolded for splitting-
i turn off my music

me: "what?"
hottie: "i have a red one!"
me: "a red one what?"
hottie: "monster!"
me: "....lets hang out."

-light turns green-

i always keep an eye out for a woman on a red monster while riding

Ok, I'm gonna revisit with this jewel from last week. We were blasting down the coast my wingman and I. I was merrily flying along having just come down off the cliffs above Jenner, crested a rise (where i always power-wheelie) and there to my right in a pullout area is a carload of cuties. Most were out of the vehicle and musta heard me comin' cuz they were all facing the road rather than the coastline. They hoot and holler and one starts to lift her shirt. Damn, goin' too fast! SHIT! 

Now to the point of the story and the best thing said part...My wingman rolls in at our next rest stop, Walks up to me and says, "man I love riding with that bike of yours, I got to see the full effect of it back there!"

Crap, how come I'm always takin' one for the team?....

Yesterday I was in one of my favorite State Parks taking a break and a man who was with a group of people having a picnic came wandering over to the picnic table where I was chilling and he said " My bike looked brand new ." I was riding the " R ."

I asked him if he was an aficionado and he said no.

We talked about the " R " for a few minutes and then a guy and his woman drove by in a Mustang GT  Convt. and the guy said " Nice Bike " twice.

Later that day I pulled into a gas station and revved my engine before I turned it off.

The guy across the pump made a remark like WOW what was that to the guy at the pump behind him.

I took it as a compliment.

Not a question, but a statement:
My wife, the day I picked up my bike- "That thing is ugly"

After I sold my sports car, my wife says to me, "You should buy a motorcycle."

And I said, "Really?"

And she said, "Ya. You should get a Ducati."

And so I did. I love my wife.

Also ....

I always get complimented about my bike, but the other day I was driving down the road and this guy driving a truck in the lane next to me leans his head out his window and yells, "That Ducati is awesome! Finally someone gets a decent motorcycle in this retarded town." And then he drove off screaming, "whoo hooo!"

As much as I liked his compliment, I decided to fall back in traffic and not be next to him anymore.

tourist who barely spoke English at the top of his lungs:



"DUCATI number one! NUMBER ONE in da world!!  and a double overzealous
YA!"

[BumbleB]

I was at a local coffee shop, getting off my bike, and a guy approaches me with, 'Man, nice bike...Ducati...' long pause, then he launches into a rant about how raw, mechanical, and 'just a real motorcycle' Ducs are. It was cool.
