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

[roggie]

Was riding home from work yesterday and a co-worker rode prt of the way with me on his Yamaha Fz1...
The first light we stop at he says "I can't hear my bike, all I hear is your exhaust" 

I just have termi slip ons and I was riding behind him about 1-2 car lengths...

[justinrhenry]

i had just parked my bike and someone came up to me and asked, "is that a Buell"?

Wait... wrong thread... 

[ManaloEA]

yeah on mine I dont have to adjust "sag" 

Bounce and rebound must be fantastic.

Not that anything was said, but I think it still counts. This is my favorite thing that's happened.

I got to work one day and a co-worker girl related this too me.

While I was riding to work one day I had passed a scooter on a 2 lane road. When I got to the red light I was 1 car length and a lane over from him. My coworker was behind me (I was oblivious to it) and she said she was watching this guy on the scooter (directly to her right) just stare at me and my bike. She said she could practically see the drool falling from his helmet, lol. But then he realized her watching him (surely smiling at this point because she knows what's going on) and he just drops his head and looks down. She said she busted up laughing so hard.

I enjoyed the story. Partially because I was once the guy on the scooter. But now I've got my monster.

1. A family mechanic came by the house one day, as he walked through the garage and saw the bike he asked "this thing is like what...$15-$17K?"

2. A guy stopped next to the left at the light, rowed down his window and asked "is that a 950?" (did that even make a 950 ducati?)

nothing much...other than a lot of waves from kids and thumbsup from teenage girls....

Last weekend rode with a friend who owns a Big Dog and a BMW RT1200.  He rode the BMW that day and basically let me lead on old country roads, where if I'd get a stretch of openness I'd open her up for a few seconds just for the fun of it.  When we stopped he commented on how he liked my bike and his favorite part was the noise she made when I accelerated, which he proceeded to mimic:

"bbbbbBBBBBRRRRRAAAAWWWW..."

He nailed it dead on, but then again after four hours of riding behind me, he was well schooled.

I was heading out to the bank and getting some lunch today, so I grabbed my gear and headed out to the parking garage.  I had four people ask me what I was riding.  All four times I said my Ducati Monster.  Lots of jealous looks

Man: (pumping gas next to me): Wow finally someone around here with a real motorcycle.
Me: Oh wow thanks, I really love it.
Man: Yeah it's nice to see someone who doesn't ride a Harley. Who would want a Harley, they are everywhere?
Me: I completely agree!
Man: (mutters something and drives away)

He's totally right. Everyone around me owns a Harley and the ALL look the same. I don't get it.

Most of the guys and girls I ride with own Monsters and they are all look different ... unless of course you don't have one - then, no doubt, they all look the same

[The ModFather]

Walking towards my bike outside a bar and a guy and girl are standing there giving my bike the once over. They see me approaching and the girl says "Beautiful Bike". I say "thanks" Her guy says "It's not a Harley" I look at him and say "No its not a Harley" He says "We like American Bikes" I look at him and say "Okay"... silence...Then she says again "it sure is a Beautiful Bike" I look at her and start the engine the Boom Tubes shut them up quick or maybe I just couldnt hear anything else they might've said.

Then you haven't looked close enough.

What is a 'real' motorcycle?

What is a 'real' motorcycle?

As a point of reference ... yours is unreal

Went to Ducati in the Rockies a couple of weeks ago. Rode the two blocks from the condo to the Best Western for the DitR photo shoot on Saturday morning. Hanging out in a parking lot FULL of Ducatis of all years and models, from a sweeeeeeeeet 916 to a Panigale, to say nothing of all the other makes/models represented. K1200, Tuono, Mille, I'm sure there was an MV F4. My bike was one of several Sport Classic bikes there.

As I'm getting ready to fire up the bike so I can head back to the condo, gear up and spend the rest of the day riding, the kid on the orange Monster next to me says "Oh, yeah. This is what I've been waiting for." 

Oh. And Duc Stu gave me knucks (while riding) on the way out of Ouray last year.
