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

[Buckethead]

I like to think when someone doesn't compliment my bike they're just too awestruck to comment. That has to be it. Right?

Your Mad Max ride?

They're afraid you're gonna try to steal their gas and/or shoot them with a crossbow.

Okay, finally got something to answer for on this thread.

I know my bike's loud but today I saw how loud it must be. I rode by a group of kids walking down the sidewalk, they all stopped and put their fingers in their ears. The girls all look bewildered while all the boys stood there with their fingers in their ears smiling.

Not as good as being flashed but did make me laugh.

I have gone back to college, at the ripe old age of 27. I love riding to school because my route is a fairly pretty stretch of 19 miles with trees, nice houses, ranches, curvy roads and little traffic. Good for the soul when ridden twice a week.

One day I got to my speech class about 20 minutes early, and went inside. Everyone in class knew I rode, as I mentioned it in my "Get to know us" speech.

Everyone who came in after me said "Is that your bike?? That thing is really cool."

Open airbox and WOT always makes me leaving a bit of a spectacle as well.

I got a good one a couple days ago.

As I pull up to grab a jersey mike sandwich, a man was coming out of the building and began complementing the bike.  He was mainly thrilled with the fact that it was a Ducati, as he enthusiastically said to his 2 passengers in the car, "what do y'all know about ducati?  that thing is badass right there!  That says Ferrari in a different language!"

One time while i was parking it outside my doctor office... I was congratulated by a lady  for being a girl on such a big bike 

+ I like the feeling while stop at a red light ...god for the ego  and the general look in the guy's eyes when I stop putting gas in it

Getting off my bike in a parking lot the other day a guy says, "Is that the way it is?" while looking at the open cam belts and open clutch spinning around.

I think he meant something like, "Is that the way it is supposed to be?"  He wasn't a native English speaker.

I just said, "That's the way it is."

[fastwin]

It is indeed.

I get that one a lot I'm more annoyed with the question than I like to be with questions about the S2R, I have retorted to a simple yes now.

I was on a group ride with 6 other bikes to the beach the other day and I was the only one on a duc. Well on the way back we were caught in spring break stop n go traffic and I noticed the eyes of a chick in the car in the lane to my right go wide open as she jumped in the back seat of his car and started taking pics out of the back window. I remember thinking "g damn girl, calm down, lol" but it felt good

There's a lot more appreciation between Harleys & Ducatis than people realize.



Best line I got was from a friend that works at a Ducati/Triumph shop:   "I want to make sweet sweet love to that bike"

Ive got all the crazy positive comments on my bike as most folks, but nothing better then whats already been posted. But as far as a funny/negative thing i was told (and this is by no means offending any religion, or people who practice such) I go to starbucks everyday and have a very good rapport with all the hot ass women who work there, but anyways got my coffee in my thermos and got back out to the bike and put it in my back pack. The lady that was behind in starbucks who was staring at me the whole time i was in line( i figured it was due to the fact i was in full leathers and my moon boots lol) comes out, sees me by the duc and stops dead in her tracks.
Her:"Excuse me, excuse me!"
Me: "Yes ma'am?"
Her: " i just felt like i should let you know, that your a sinner, and your riding the devils bike"
Me: "Well hell i guess i better go get some horns for my helmet!"
Her: "Im going to pray for you"
Me: "save your prayers for somebody who cares"

probably the only negative comment I've gotten with the duc, doubt it was because of the duc, but rather me riding a motorcycle. Either way it pissed me off, but i somewhat kept my composure.
Funny thing is, one of the starbucks girls(the hottest one)   was outside on her break and heard the whole thing
Her name is aubry she's like
A: "wow man what the hell!"
Me: "eh just somebody with a stick up her as*"
A: "She was rude! Your not the devil"
Me:" to each his own, alright aubry (hit my play button on my iPod) time to go grow those horns"

If i didn't know any better i think she had a hard time keeping her pants dry the rest of the day

Now I dont want to detract from the hillarity of your story...but what do you use for a thermos?  I usually just get a couple icecubes in my coffee and chug it so i can get to work...none of the travel cups they sell seem suitable for coffee transport in a backpack...

although i have to admit it'll keep coffee hot for probably around half an hour, i know horrible, but its good enough for me, its still warm when i get to work when i drink it. But i love love the rollerball.

Getting on the bike to leave campus, the guy next to me has his R6 warming up.
I start up and drown him out with the open termi's.
He leans down and peers over and yells,

"Thats a two cylinder?!"

A better one is when I'm sitting at a light with an old guy next to me in a civic. The light is red for far too long. I turn off the bike while I wait.
I look over and the guy looks at me and says,

"Ducs don't like sittin still..."

D*mn right they don't.
