Oh yeah...  My Cafe-Racer:

It was December of '04 and my CR had just won the SF Monster Challenge pre-lim round.  My Dad (rest his soul) was out for a visit.  I wheel the bike out of the garage and my Dad just starts fumbling with his camera.  He starts asking me questions about this and that while snapping photos.  He knew at that point that I had won the pre-lim round and the bike was headed for Daytona & the finals.

He said,"Fire it up". 

I walked him through the proceedure on the fast-idle switch, the clutch, the key, etc. & lit the thing off letting it burble away in the driveway.

Never looking at me, never pulling his eyes off my CR he says,"Do it again."

Ok, I think...  Whatever.  I shut the bike off and go through the entire routine again just cuz he's the old-man ya know...

He finally pulls his eyes off the bike after I shut it down and says,"You're going to win."

Well, he was right...

Rest easy pops...

Damn dude, I'm getting a little misty here!

I pull into a minute mart and the beer delivery man runs over.....

"hey your timing chain is bad... you should not run it....my honda made the same noise just before it blew up"

Then I showed him the clutch and the timing belt and how they work....

Still I think he did not believe me and was waiting for disaster

Most people I know are waiting for disaster whenever I saddle up, but I don't think it has anything to do with the dry clutch noise.

Yeah... It's been a little over 3 years and I still miss him.

ROFL!

In 2006 someone asked me if my bike was brand new.  They almost fell over when I said it was actually 7 years old.  Ducati really nailed it when they came up with the original Monster concept.  It never looks dated.

I've had the same thing said about me. "I never look dated"

I've recently put my S2R1K up for sale.

This from Dr. Desmosedici in the thread.....

"I have seen this bike, ridden this bike, talked with Tom throughout its development ... If you are looking at a 2V, you will not find a better handling, better looking, or better cared for bike.  Period."

Thanks Adam!

I think what they're saying is "it looks like you've never had a date."

"is it supposed to sound like that" 

Reminds me of my old RD400:

Them: "Hey, you're burning a little oil!"

Me: "I sure hope so!"
