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

Now that you've had some sleep I'm sure: you are refreshed, see the world more clearly, and your sense of humor has been restored to normal.

Normal? Okay.

Different versions of "That is a beautiful bike," from the various firemen surrounding it, as it was wedged under an SUV.  I just replied, "was, was a beautiful bike... "

[Grampa]

"here's the key"

Let's not forget that one

"here's the key"

Not a compliment but a cut at it.  Let me set the scene.  Gate gaurd in lower Alabama getting onto an Army base.  With my now sold 97 m750

Gaurd:  Hmm...is that one of them "do-K-T's"
Me:  yes sir.
Gaurd:  who makes'm?
Me:  Ducati
Gaurd:  hmph...Don't beat no V-Twin.
Me:  it is a V-Twin...(then interrupted)
Gaurd:  Damn Jap bikes
Me:  Good day sir.

since i am a woman, the best thing some guy said to me was,
"damn girl, that's a badass ride! how does your husband look on the back?"

Just a thumbs up from a teal Camaro through tinted glass.
Not sure how I feel about.  I gave him a nod.

its a shame that the m620 is a wet clutch bc part of the whole ducati thing is the whole dry clutch sound.

i know whenever i'm in the car next to a ducati, i specifically listen for the clutch sound, and of course the sound of the exhaust is so destinct.

fortunately it seems everyone knows "the look" of the ducati and likes it.

common for people just to say "nice bike" or when you tell them you ride a ducati they always have the same look of "ohhh one of those things.. cool"

... on a long ride on Vancouver island, heading north on the old island highway; I'v been passing more then the usual amount of HD's.  Gas light comes on and I pull into the next gas station in the next town ... as I pull in I can see that a group of HD riders has just pulled in and are filling there bikes; one pump is available and I'm thinking "oh s**T" I'm committed.  I very self conciously get off my bike; the very rough HD guys are eyeing the odd one out .... one HD guy pops up form other side of the gas pump ... "ducati ... there nice bikes ... you got a killer bike ... and i know some who would kill ya for a bike like that "... he smiles; I still don't know of he was joking, turns out he has 4 HD's.  I still laugh nerviously thinking bout it ... I say" ya HD's are nice; the next bike I get'll be a HD" ... just to appease the crowd ... they soon roar off in the direction I'm traveling ... I hang out at the gas station for a while to let them get some distance.

Best comment I get comes from my 3 year old son, whenever he sees a bike no matter what make he calls them scooters, but when it comes to Monsters he calls them Motorbikes

[ducfun]

this thread is  thanks for starting it!

As for mine...I love the stares at stop lights and as I pass cars/bikes on the road.

Best one so far was a guy in a silver porshe that slowed down to give me a  . I threw back a shaka sign. I think each of us sat there looking at the others ride for a but until he pulld off.

I live in Ducati central. No one has ever really made any comments about my bike except to tell me that I need to clean it.

The mechanical engineers at the office were admiring the clean design of my bike.
