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

[yamifixer]

Saturday morning my HOA had a neighborhood work day to beautify our common areas. I got to meet my People that live near me but not my neighbors. At one point a middle aged man asked were I live.

I responded, "Last house before the park."

He said without missing a beat, "Oh, the house with 2 bulldogs and the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle."

I said Thanks.

I was leading a friend, I hadn't seen in about year, to the weekly biker/poser night. 10mins into the ride he tells me he wants to lead, I let him thinking he was taking a more fun route. When we get to the meet he tells me, he loves the sound of my monster but can't ride behind me cause all he hears is my bike not his. The exhaust is a termi.

On the ride yesterday:

Guy on an Aprilia RSV4 says to me, "Man, I know Ducatis have a rep for being stable in turns, but you went by me and leaned it over, then you were GONE!"

I told how I had upgraded the front forks, switching from bars to clip-ons helps it turn quicker, blah blah blah... 

I kinda felt bad when I saw the look on his face after I said, "She does okay for an 11 year old bike with 43,000+ miles and only 60hp..."

His jaw dropped! 

Well I guess I didn't feel all that bad...

That was mean.

  Awesome! 

Thanks for the Mojo

That was mean.

I know... But you prolly would've said the same thing. 
And if you wouldn't, Dave surely would have! 


The guy turned out to be a really nice guy, sat and had lunch with him.  It turned out he had been riding for years and had just gotten this bike. He was still in the break-in period and was taking it easy.   [moto]

I've heard that excuse before

Me too, but P said I was mean, so I was trying to be a little nicer.

Hell, you should have seen the grin on my face when I passed a group of liter bikes in the twisties on a friend's Ninja 250. [moto]

Oh, and once riding up Torrey Pines (the steeper bike path, not the road) on my bright yellow folding "clown bike" (not particularly light) I passed a girl on a Cervelo ($5000+ carbon fiber road bike) and said "Nice bike" as I went by.

I'm pretty sure that was mean too.  Couldn't help myself though.

Somewhat mean, but funny.

Just plain cruel, and hilarious! (But in that poor suffering girls defense, her ass could have been in the break in period.)

Good looking frame, but you should have changed the OI to a U and see if they noticed.  (assuming you were the artist)

[sbrguy]

Let me just make sure I understand this correctly;
This bike costs $5k and DOESN'T HAVE A MOTOR!?!?!

Firstly gotta say ... love this thread.

My little story ... I've been waiting for this to happen:

We were coming back from dropping off the Boss' bike when a truck pulled up alongside at the lights. Truckie yells out, "What's that strange rattly sound, is everything OK?"

Boss replies, "Ahh its OK its just the custom pipes ... its meant to sound like that*."

Apparently the response was a look conveying disbelief and disillusionment but still a strange kind of cool acknowledgement combining a half nod and half shrug with a thumbs up.

I just kept my contented smugness inside my helmet.

* Short story long:

When I had the pipes made the guys started it up in the shop before they had made the baffles ... stood back and said "hmm its not as loud as I thought it was going to be" whilst I stood back thinking I had a problem as blood trickled out my ears.

They then asked if I wanted them to make up the baffles, to which I replied that I might as well take them ... just in case. When the baffles went in and she was started up again ... I thought 'now that's cool - its like I have my own little fake dry clutch'. The baffles have been in ever since - they call them chirpers.

... and yes I have an S2R 800 with a wet clutch
