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

[DRKWNG]

NO WAY that happened without pics to prove

Or at least a phone number to back the story up. 

[Raux]

tell me you at least asked for her number or accepted it when she offered it

Not worth the effort, I'm married....

great thread! 

my biggest compliment was when I was waiting to take my final (pratical) exam for my driver's license here in Belgium...

waiting for the exam to start in front of the building, with the M620ie Dark parked in front of the parcours, a female examinator (or how do you call it in English :-)) passes by our group and asks:

"who's bike is that Monster?"

me (stumbling & getting even more nervous): "eerrrmmm, mine... did I park it in a wrong parking lot?..."

she (laughing): "no, not at all, it's just one hell of a ride you got there!"


and away were the nerves... 


also got stared at a couple of times by young females at a stop sign... you automatically start grinning, revving and speeding (and then look back to check if they're still checking you out  )

I'm 47, have had my license for 31 years and I still do that

And what about your single friends with Ducs?    Times like that are always good for a reference.

You guys have *no* idea how weird this thread is to someone with a monster near SF.

Monsters are everywhere here. I can't walk through the city without seein' 6 of 'em. They just aren't....special I guess.


Never had anyone say anything about it.

Funny you should mention that. I had just split off from my wingman (single but rides a ST3) headed home our separate ways. AND, I could have made it home w/o getting gas! Odd how things happen....

Last night as I was stopped at a stop light, a group of about 6 20 y.o. in a pick up pulled up next to me, rolled down their window and asked "how fast does it go?"  I replied "fast enough", then sped off!  Whew!  That was fun. [moto]

I think maybe it has to be clean enough to read the lettering.

At Mac's (local Bar and BBQ joint friendly to bikes in Charlotte)

Banker ... that looks fast and mean.  is it?
me      ...   what do you think
banker ...   toothy grin with a nod.

You'd think I'd have handed him a porno mag or something.  Turns out he had a Harley (of course), was new to bikes (we get that alot around here with the bankers), but I must admit it was pretty cool.

I have had a few of these entertaining comments on my Duc.

The best one ever though

I am stopped at a light in the turn lane. A guy in the lane next to me keeps creeping up closer and closer making the truck in front of him move.  The guy gets close enough and rolls down the window. He looks over at his girlfriend and says "see, its one of those $50,000 bikes". The light turns green, I smirk and drive off.

I was at dinner yesterday.... sitting outside with a friend... and this chick carrying a baby walks by.... baby all screaming and crying... the baby looks over at the Duc... and stops crying... she stops... shows the baby the Duc... and walks around it... and says, "Oh great... I bet his first word is going to be Ducati"  She shakes her head and walks off.      The baby looked to be just a couple of months old.

I think it's fun that children loves motorcycles. Infants too.
