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

I was thinking, we have a stupidest thing someone's said about it, so how about the best/most surprising?
I just put a new exhaust on.. on my test ride, at one point I was just in first or second gear on a side street, I saw someone look over from their truck in the oncoming lane, and say "Holy make the beast with two backs!"
It made me laugh. It was great.
Then this morning, I pulled into the parking lot of our 6 story office building.. a friend of mine that works on the third floor told me that someone had said "Isn't that a little loud...?"

A couple of nice things:
There is a click of neighbors that live down the street that call me "Ducati Bill." Best nick-name I've ever had.
A couple of years ago I hire a guy to inspect my furness. After he's finished with his work, we're talking and the conversation gets around to Motorcycles and he tells me he rides a Norton Commando. I am impressed. I love old Nortons and British iron in general. He is not bragging but I
pick up that he has an in depth knowledge and love for motorcycles. Then he sees a picture of my monster on my refrigerator and asks if that's
my bike. He then asks to see it. So, I take him out to my shop and show it to him. On seeing it he says, "That's the most beautiful motorcycle I've
ever seen." This from a guy that rides a Norton!! My heart swells with pride.
Optiato - Thanks for starting this thread.

I don't think it gets much better for me than having my bike complimented. You can call me whatever you want as long as you throw in a compliment or two for the bike!

Over heard from people pretending my bike was theirs:
Person asking if my monster was Dude's - "Hey that's nice. Is that your bike?"
Dude - "No, but I wish it was"
Poseur chick w/Dude - "No, it's mine" (sort of drunk, as she can barely keep from falling over)

So the other day a realtor calls up and wants to take pics of my house i'm moving out of. we walk around, look at the house and go out to garage. he sees the mirrors of the bike over the hood of the truck and asks, 'what is it, can i look?' SURE i say, beaming, knowing probably NOBODY in town has a Ducati 696.
so he goes, "WOAH, that's a DUC" not ducati not how do you say that.. a DUC... i say you know bikes... he goes into detail how his dad used to own the ducati franchise in town years ago and he grew up in a DUC shop. and HE WAS IMPRESSED with the bike. now that's a compliment.
he's now looking at getting one

On my old Monster, I got lots of
and "nice bike" from people at stop lights/signs.
Now it is more rubber necking to actually be sure they saw a woman on a SBK.

The guy at the gas station this weekend told me that Ducatis are like the Ferrari of motorcylces and that I was really lucky to have one. I doubt I will ever own a Ferrari, but I can almost afford my monster.

I got a complement on Main St. one summer's night. I was riding down Main St, and a T-top Z-28 with a couple or three girls complete with big 80's hair were coming the opposite direction. I got the was the redneck version of "that's awesome" which is a couple "yee-haw's" combined with a few revs of the Flowmastered Z28
