I just got my bike registered, but forgot my plate at my office.  I was driving in to town to pick it up, when I pass a copper sitting at a stop sign.  His jaw drops, and he watches as I pass (within legal speed-limits).  Of course he comes peeling out right behind me, lights blaring.  I'm thinking to myself... damnit!  I stop, he slowly gets out of his car, walks around the bike, then asks: "Is that one of those $30,000 Ducati bikes?"  I laugh a bit and explain what I'm riding.  He asks a few more questions, then gets in his car and drives off.

Go figure.

The question I have at this point is 'would he have been more/less impressed if you had taken off at 155 to avoid the 'ticket' '. That might have made his day!  ;D

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

He probably would have given me a get-out-of-jail-free card when he finally caught up. [thumbsup]

Still waiting for boobies though.

I got flashed once... By an SUV with four girls in it, at an intersection waiting on the light.... I couldn't see crap!    I had stayed out longer then I had anticipated, and was riding home after dark still wearing sunglasses.  Sunglasses + Night + Dark interior =  I could tell what was happening, but that was about it.

One of my best friends told me a story about his best friend in Highschool.  I don't know if it's true, but I like it.

He was driving his car between Shallow Water, Tx and Lubbock, Tx.  Doing about 120/130.  When he flies by a cop.  the Cop pulls out, turns around and gives chase.  It took the cop several miles to overtake the car, when he does catch up, the guy pulls over.   The Cop runs up to the car, gun drawn screaming.... "Why didn't you pull over, when you saw the lights"   Guy:  "I just figured I'm getting a ticket regardless, so I'd keep speeding until you caught me". 

The Cop laughs at him and lets him go with out a ticket.

Guy I worked with for a summer told the story as his own.

Driving his Buick Grand National between Liberal, KS, and Garden City, KS, gets pulled over under similar circumstances (120+ mph). County sheriff walks up to the window and asks to see his pilot's license.

Being instrument-qualified, he hands it over.

Sheriff says "Next time you want to go that fast, do it off the ground," and walks back to his car.

Sorry not monster compliments, but still DUC compliments (848)...

At a light, guy in a tricked out STi - That is one makes the beast with two backs-ing bad a$$ bike dude.

Chick that cuts my hair - Oh WOW, I wanna ride that!

Several lovely young ladies at Starbucks - oooohhhh Ducati!!!

On my way home one day and I end up in the same lane as a guy on a HD, at a stop light we exchange hellos and nice bike and whatever and he turns around and tells the woman in the car behind us (his girlfriend was following him) that he wants one of these, motioning to my bike  ;D

My favorites are the little kids that press their faces up to the car windows to get a better look, I always give them a wave or  [thumbsup].

I'm stopped on the side of the road, tank's up on the prop rod, fuel has soaked the rear right hand side of the just washed bike, my left hand is also soaked in fuel with my index finger plugging the end of the fuel hose coming out of the tank.  With my left hand, I'm trying to tighten a tiny hose clamp with a piece of shredded aluminum door trim found on the shoulder when a guy on a Harley stops on the other side of the road.  "Sure you don't need any help?"  "Oh, no, I think I've got it covered."  "Ok...  man, that sure is a beautiful bike!"  My spirits lift, I stop cursing under my breath.

At a gas station...

Her:
"I felt you coming long before you got here (this while actually holding her breasts!  :o). What do they call that kind of bike?"

Me: (still a little stunned by the display)  ;D
"Yeah, I get that a lot. It's called a Monster"

Her:
"I love it and the vibrations"

 On a ride this last Saturday and stopped for fuel and snacks in Vernonia. A young man on a Honda V45 whipped a u-turn and came in and parked by me. He proceded to almost drool all over and carry on about how beautiful my bike was.( I`m grinning like hell now) Then he asked if it was OK to take some pictures of it to show his friends. Of cousre I let him! Then he tells me his friends are never going to believe he was that close to a $ 50,000.00 Ducati motorcycle. I tell him it didn`t cost that much. He say`" oh, sure!"  I don`t think he believed me. So I figure great, best buy I ever made.

Yeah, like I could function well enough to find and use my cell to snap a pic! God only gave me enough blood to run one head at a time! [laugh] It was all I could do to not to fall over right then and there...
