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

They call it nail polish.

My Mechanic at Ducati Malagà:  Thats the nicest Monster ive seen

Random English guy on the street (ex Ducati owner):  What a fine example with tastefull modifications 

[Zulu]

Last night a red ferrari pulled next to me on a red light , rolled his window down gave a thumbs up. And rode off ( the light was still red)  . For a second I  thought about chasin him , but I dont have the wallet to pay for the ticket unlike Mr ferrari.

[avizpls]

or the structure around you to prevent immediate death should someone be going on the GREEN light from the other side. What a dickhead 

[jongunz]

I pulled up to an intersection and there were to road workers staring at my bike, I could read their lips the one guy looked at the other and asked, "What do you think about that", his response "I think it's Bad Ass".  I've also gotten tons of thumbs up from other drivers at stoplights.

"Is that a 999??!!!"

[Duc796canada]

People don't seem to say anything, but I see them speeding up and trying to get in the lane beside me to look! It scares me seeing these cars on creeping up on my tail, it was nerve wrecking as I'm fairly new to the street riding thing. I get a few young kids in WRX STi and Mitsu EVos try to coax a race off the lights, not biting, I know better!!

So I have a story about this complete idiot talking to me about my bike.

idiot: You have a bike?
Me: Yep
Idiot: what is it?
Me: Ducati Monster
Idiot: Oh those are the ones made in California
Me: Ummm(with a look on my face of udder confusion)...No.  They are made in Italy
Idiot: Oh so they used to be made in California?
Me:Ummmm(now me looking at this guy like he has a third eye in the middle of his forehead)...no.  They have always been made in Italy.  They are an Italian bike.
Idiot: Oh....(now thinking of the next dumb thing to say) So aren't those like really cheap bikes?
Me: Ummmm (now thinking I looking around for the hidden camera)...Well mine is the least expensive of the line, but no they are kind of expensive.
Idiot:  No, I know they are expensive, but what I mean is they are cheaply made and are way over prices.
Me: (looking at him with a blank stare) 
Idiot: Where are you going?
Me: walking away

You showed one hell of a lot more restraint than I would have been able to.

[NorDog]

I would have told him it was a Honda Super Hawk with a Ducati sticker on the tank, and yes, the sticker was made in California.

[$Lindz$]

He kinda did have a point... if they WERE made in California, they'd be a lot more expensive! Haha.

[thought]

he was probably thinking of the mid 80's ducs.  not the made in cali part, but the expensive and bad fit/finish.

This one time I was at a Tim Horton's similar to your Starbuck's . Some guy walks up, there were other bikes around, my two riding buds have R1's, and he says to me, hey my sister has one of those and he laughs! I looked at him and didn't say a thing, I knew what he was getting at, time came to leave and i start up, he walk over and he is like "hey, your front wheel is on backwards" I figure he was a few fries short of a happy meal!! Or wanted to be laid out, I don't know, some people like the feeling of their head hitting concrete!

[ducmon695]

Oh trust me I wanted to throttle him so badly, but my brain was working over time trying to process all the idiotic statements he was saying to me. 

[620dark]

I used to live in a sort of gated community type thing by the river in Sydney.....about a month after I put the termi's on I got home and opened the door to the wife standing naked holding two glasses of wine!  Result!

later on I asked how she knew when to get her clothes off and not catch cold standing about for ages... she replied "are you kidding!? I can hear you 3 streets away!!"

Nicest thing said and also to happen as a result of the Duc.
