How fast will it go?
I always say, "I have no idea."

Just say "a little over 600 mph if I put it on an airplane."  [roll]

I was at the store yesterday, in the parking lot putting on my gear when a young woman with what looked to be her three year old son walked by. As they passed by, the boy exclaimed "Motorcycle, vroom vroom!" The mother then repeated what the boy said, but with a sultry inflection in her voice. Definitely turned my head.

This just confirms what I tell my friends, "Ducati Monster... makes young women want, and young men wish."

Traffic light. Got my scala playing music. Lady in the car next to me ponts downward at me.  I thought my bungie cord in the back got loose.  She keeps pointing down and finally shows me her shoes and points at mine and gives me the thumbs up.  Lol.  Ok I was on the monster so it still belongs in this thread.

while selling my rebel in the driveway, with the monster sitting in the garage:

Harley guy #1:  "oh you got a buell?"
*I can relate to all those previous buell comments now   [bang]

different visit
Harley guy #2, who bought the rebel for his wife: 

HG2:     "wow, that thing must be crazy fast!"
   
me:     "yea, faster then me."

HG2:    "looks so powerful....and BEAUTIFUL, damn."

I pulled into an In-N-Out burgers just today and as I'm taking off my helmet/ear buds, I hear these 2 guys talking "...like a sexy but scary super model" I turn my gaze towards them and they say, "we're talking about your bike."

Thats pretty much how I feel about it too. Haha.

I've definitely been noticing at stop lights, people in their cars in a sort of trance looking my bike up and down. It's great to share such a beautiful thing with the world! :)

Getting a snow cone with my GF. Bike is parked a few feet away and I'm in line about to pay. A boy (about 6 years old) is dragging his mom across the parking lot towards my bike, pointing at my bike, he assuredly yells at his ignorant mother: “See Mom, THAT'S a DUCAAAATI !!!”...as if he had been trying to explain this to her for quite some time. I chuckled to myself because I probably did that to my mom at some point in time when I was around that age.
After he gets in line behind me, I look around at him and say: “don't worry big guy, you'll have one someday”

Was at a stoplight in Aspen today.  Man smoking on the sidewalk says "hey bro" and gives me a piece sign.   I nodded and go back to watching the light.  Next thing I know he is standing next to me in the street, possibly a little wobbly (at 1pm on a sunday no less :).  he slowly reaches for my throttle and looks at me.  I nod, and he gives her a couple revs, smiles huge, nods at me, and walks back to his smoking spot. 

I could see some people being a little perturbed about a stranger touching their bike, but I could tell it totally made his day, so it didn't bother me :)

So it being Cinco De Mayo i figured id take my "scenic" route home after work,which involves around 6 miles of beachside road, and a track down 2nd street in Long Beach, if your not from Souther California this is a big big big street with bars all up and down where people are drunk and get crazy lol. Anyways pull up to a light, and I'm looking to my left at this weird looking car, bring my head to center surprised to see a man with a skateboard about to ask me a question. "whats that noise?" , its the clutch. "oh it sounds like a cam man!" yea its a clutch. "love the bike man!" Then cruise down to second street stop at a light, gorgeous blonde is walking across the cross walk, sees me and the duc, stops dead in her tracks and pulls the top of her dress down and shows me the twins. Yea my smile lasted all the way till this morning.

Gearing up leaving the grocery store and this guy walks over....

"hey man, what's that sound? Sounds like your timing is off or....(trails off)"

me: "that's the clutch *pointing* open clutch cover...blah blah blah"

"...oh....cool"
(keeps staring at bike)
"man, that thing should be in a magazine"

me: "thanks man"

*man steps closer*
"no really, it should be in a magazine....it's....awesome"

me: "allllright....I appreciate it buddy"

It was a nice compliment, though I was getting a little sketched out.
