Got a great compliment from a friend who's a Harley tech.....first person here to ride the bike besides me:

"That thing really have 20,000 miles on it?  And is 10 years old?  Hell, it rides like it's brand new!  I'd get in to WAY too much trouble with that thing."   (for him, "getting into trouble" is officially his primary hobby)

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 made a little girl cry when I was parked in the city on the street as I started my Monster. I didn't realize she was walking on the sidewalk behind me. Should of seen her trying to scrabble up her mothers leg.

happened a few years ago.
Riding behind my kids school bus.
One of the girls on the bus said to my son check out that cool guy on the bike.
My son said he's not cool he's my dad
She replied yeah well the bike's cool anyway

I did the opposite the other day.
Mom was arguing with probably 10yr old son while he cries and throws a tantrum (mind you he had a green mohawk, so I can see him doing that alot)
I start up the bike and she uses it as a chance to deflect the conversation. he stops crying and checks out the bike.
I should name it "Peacemaker"

Dude.

I realize you're new here.

But seriously. Check the date before you reply to a post. 3 1/2 years is a long damn time ago.

Just pulled up to the local grocery store in the parking taking of f my helmet. A guy in a minivan pulls up in the spot next to me, and is getting his kids out. His little boy says "Wow, that's a big red motorcycle!". I respond "It's a Ducati". The dad then says, "A very fast Ducati motorcycle"... Just then, the daughter's eyes got really big with amazement. I just chuckled as the dad ushered off the kids and the automatically closing sliding doors on his minivan slid shut.

Four fun moments from my ride last Saturday....

First, I'm riding through some country lanes at a relaxed pace when I approach a young lady jogging toward me. As we pass, she smiles and gives me a friendly wave.  :)

Next, I'm pulling up to a stop sign with some pedestrians on the corner, and a little boy shouts out "Look at that motorcycle!"

Then, I'm at the gas station filling up after the ride and I hear someone say "Nice bike!" I look up and see a bicyclist ridding by giving me a  [thumbsup].

Finally, I'm paying for the gallon of gas I just used up and the guy in line behind me asks "Is that a new machine?"

Fun stuff, all in the space of an hour.

I get the "wow, that must have been expensive" kinds of comments a lot.

Including my 76 year old father.  :D
(He's the only one I bothered explaining that the Monster isn't all that expensive compared to the top-end Ducs)

While at the OC bike night in Huntington Beach the other night I was gearing up to leave and a couple people moseyd over to look at what I was riding and people started noticing the bolt ons and mods.  There was a lot of "oh look at that" and "jeeze youve got that too?" and "you even have THOSE?" (rizoma rearsets that I had just put on 2 days previously) All in all I was pretty surprised about how much attention Sasha got even with so many nicer/more expensive bikes all around it.

Sounds like the expense is increasing.

That should make a nice thread for sure.
