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

[NorDog]

Great Blog!  Are the monster pipes Jet Hot coated? 

The first bike I did from scratch was a Shovel very similar to yours (I think that's what yours was, it's hard to tell from the shot, I'm not seeing a generator so will assume).
Have you heard the Rinehart slip ons for the Nightster?  Pricey, but great rumble.

Thanks for showing off your bikes.

Thanks.

Yes, Jet Hot in matte red.  Only problem is that with about 3500 miles on them they are discoloring and flaking off near the exhaust ports.

The old bobber is (was) a generator/Shovel with Delcron cases.  It's a 96" stroker I built in the late 80s.  The other Shovel (the brown one) was a 1980 Fatbob Superglide.

The Nightster belongs to an old friend.

A motorcycle policeman, after pulling me over for both speeding and running a red light once said, "Niiiice.  No slow down and don't do that again!"

Hey Nordog, We can take the H-D rif raf to the extreme mod & fab thread, I hear they are oil leak friendly over there. 

Sorry MONSTER DAVE !!!  YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO YELL !!!

Your first post.

Welcome

The last week I've got two "that's an absolutely awesome bike" from two very different people (both of whom I work with).

The first one, a female friend of mine, goes "that's an absolutely stunning bike. I thought you'd have an absolute shitheap but that's really gorgeous... Can you take me for a ride on it sometime" (ride duly coming up).

The second one is a mate from work, he popped around to a mutual friend's place. She'd just moved into this new house, and I was visiting helping to set some stuff up. He got the full tour, including the garage (2 car garage - she doesn't drive. Only thing in it was my bike!), came back up and went "yeah, that's a sweet bike you've got!".

Interestingly, both are non-riders.... Used to get the odd sage comment about my other sportsbikes from riders, but nothing from people who aren't riders. The Monster, though, impresses riders and non-riders alike.

Note mine's a pretty plain-jane S2R1k, just with some pipes, clear indicators and a patina of road grime.

I had a crowd gather around my bike today.  I actually had to leave because I was getting uncomfortable with all the "That is an amazing bike" and "that is really beautiful" and "wow".

Sorry MONSTER DAVE !!!  YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO YELL !!!     

It's all good! 

LOL, yesterday this guy passes me in the right lane and was "rubber necking" at my Monster as he drove by. What has hilarious was that the further away that his car went the more mashed up against the window his face got!!  It was one of those moments where you wanted to just yell "dude your window's closed!"

You could see that the girl in the passenger seat was shaking her head in embarassement - classic. 

Sometimes the best compliments are just the drips of drool from some random person at some random time

I love my Monster.

"Ahhh ... du-KAH-tee ... ee-tal-YAA-no ... byuu-tee-ful!"
- old italian guy working at the gas station where i filled up this morning.  name tag on his mechanic's shirt said something like "Zusia".

we chatted for a while, he told me about the bikes he's owned ("HON-daa ees thee best"), how he used to deliver pizzas on his bike ("one time i carry AE-teen peeezas on thee back") and his thoughts on HD's ("i no like the big aahrlee's weeth all thee stuff on thee back ... i like thee low riders")

and then he finally finished up with this brilliant quote capturing his preference for bikes to be naked and clean in appearance ...

"a biiike should bee like a pros-tee-tute! eh?"

that guy is a poet.  i'm gonna make that my new signature.  not as good as nordog's ben franklin quote, but i like it.
