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

[Kopfjager]

We need pictures.  Was the comment made by a female?  Just asking.   

Ha, that would have been acceptable, but it was from a guy who owns an 848. The only other Ducati in town.

[Duc Buz]

Yesterday at BUCEE's:
"Holy shit, Ducati. A motor and a seat." Then a thumbs up.

That's it, I have to get me some Termis.

Just the other day, i just finished having a tea and a bite to eat, I leave, get out and while putting my jacket on a young lad approaches me, and says" Everyone is admiring your bike in there," I say, "thanks." he says, "it is a chick magnet for sure." I LOL and said "yup, it is," too bad because they were all teenage chicks inside

Not exactly the best comment but a comment nonetheless about my monster 620 by my mechanic. "take her out in the back and shoot her"

[Drunken Monkey]

"Out of all these bikes, yours is my favorite, hands-down."*

While that's always nice to hear, that fact that this was said at the '06 Monster Challenge Finals makes it brag-worthy. 



*(For the record, even I don't think my bike was the best bike there)

Lately it seems the only thing anyone says to me about my bike is, "How much does it cost?"

What a tactless way to start a conversation.

I've decided next time someone asks that I'll simply say, "More than you'll ever have."

[fastwin]

That's a conversation killer!

Either that or totally jack with them and tell them a S4RS goes for $3,995 out the door. Then send them to the nearest Duc dealer armed with that tid bit of purchasing knowledge and buying power. "No seriously, don't let them charge you a penny more than $4K for any Duc on the floor!" "1098R? $4,500 tops!"

I realize mine is the cheapie one so my response will be going forward

"if i can afford it, you can too"

Today on my ride home from the dealer on my new EVO I saw another rider on the side of the road.  I couldn't tell if they needed help so I turned around to check on them.  I pulled up behind him opened my visor and asked if he was ok.  He looked at me and said "wow that's a really nice bike".  Then as an after thought he added "yes I am ok just checking the map".  I was already excited about the new bike but he made me smile from ear to ear.  It was pretty great.

I got that question a few times.  My respond was "it's expensive but a lot more affordable than you think".

I was down in the garage doing my oil change and checking the belts I just changed out the other day.  My wife came down to bring me some water and check on me.  I guess I wasn't responding to her txt messages.  She walks in the garage looking at the bike and me.  Keep in mind my hands are covered in oil and grease.
She says:  God damn that's hot.
Me:  The bike or me.
She: both!

Then she goes and takes a pic of the bike and me with her phone.
