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

[AZMonsterMan]

I went out to the local sushi bar with a group of people from school to celebrate the end of the semester.

Guy 1: "Why aren't you doing Sake Bombers with us?"

Me: "I'm on my bike today. I never drink when I ride."

Guy 1: "Oh, what do you have a GSXR?"

Guy 2 (Interrupting): "Dude he's got a Ducati Monster!!!"

Guy 1: "That was yours!?! Finally we get to hang out with someone with some class!"

I just smiled into my iced tea.

There is only 1 bike parked in front of Apple Store.  My bike.  I have my bike gear on ( jacket , helmet and boot ).  I am getting ready to get on.  This dude in car starts a conversation "is that your bike?"  I am bewildered and say "no, I am stealing it"

I'm working on an addition at a house (carpenter) and the owner has a "full-dressed" harley.  He comes around from the front of the house asking who's riding the ducati.  I proudly raise my hand and he proceeds to tell me how "wicked fast" ducatis are.  He had his camera with him to take pictures of the roof going on, and told me he was gonna take a few of the bike if I didn't mind.  Later that same day I was out riding with time to waste, so I walked through the Harley dealership.  They've got nice bikes, not my taste, but I can appreciate most motorcycles for what they are.  (It's obvious I'm not comfortable just saying I was there, I feel a need to make an excuse for myself  )  anyway, there was a couple in there looking around.  I left and rode about a block away to a fast food joint.  Go in and sit down to eat just in time to watch the couple pull in the parking lot.  They drive by my bike really slowly and park about 8 spaces away.  they walk right past a really nice kaw zx-14 without even glancing at it and walk all around my bike just staring at it and shaking their heads.  I coulda swore the guy was gonna sit on it, but he did everything BUT touch it.  I felt pretty proud walking out and gettin' on the old duc after that!!

went up to the wife's work last week, was pulling around back when this 17yr old that works in the warehouse walks up.

HIM: Ducati, huh?  what's that thing got, a 1600?
me: no, a 696.  (got termi's w/ the baffles out)

My fiancée and I had been at the local Pizza Hut for a birthday celebration for one of her family members.  We had headed outside and several of them grouped around talking as I was getting ready to leave.  I cranked, the motor roared to life with an explosivee roar from the wrapped-core Termis.  One collective startled gasp later and my fiancée walks over laughing.  "You just made EVERYONE jump!"

I was in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, and there was a gathering of Harley riders in town. A crowd of guys and girls in black leather gathered 'round when I parked in the French Quarter. Took me 15 minutes to answer all the questions, etc. about the bike. One guy on a Fat Boy said, " I used to have a 900 and I still miss it. I'd trade you in a heartbeat!"

Later that night, when I fired up the bike in front of a friend's house, it literally stopped traffic  . A woman jammed on her brakes, rolled her window down, and said, " I like my V-rod, but that is one badass bike!"

-Quick story. I was out at the bars with a few buddies and a cute blonde female had been talking to me and hanging on me all night. She asks me to come out to her place for after hours. Well, we head to her friends place and he (her friend) happens to have an SV650 in his garage. Her friend and I start talking about motorcylces. By this time, the chick is pretty DRUNK. lol....but anyways...i tell her i have a Ducati Monster and she literally flipped out. She's like, "Oh my God, I want to marry you!" Then she proceeded to make out with me. It was fun...but I didn't seal the deal that night.....FAIL!

-I get a lot of thumbs of from guys in cars and people pointing. It always feels good.

I'm in the Army, and recently reenlisted for 6 additional years in my contract. (Get out in July 2014) I signed the papers while I was enroute back to the states for my mid-deployment leave. Long story short I spent my entire bonus on my '05 S2R 800. Whenever I got back to theater and the guys asked me what I got for a bonus, I simply replied: a Ducati Monster. There are 2 H-D riders in my platoon and they wouldn't believe that I could have afforded it without the pictures.


I always tell them that "It's pretty affordable" but they won't listen.

Just 20 minutes ago, at the gas station.  I'm in line to pick up my change, the lady in front of me is complaining to the cashier about how prices are up ten cents in the last week...  she turns around, see's me with my gear on and says "that's the way to go, what's it cost $5 a week?"...

I get my change and walk outside to the bike... she yells over to me... "I didn't know you had THAT bike."

I grinned and grinned...    You know she was just thinking "this guy's not worried about the price of gas with a bike like that."

She followed with something about how i probably spent extra on the bike since i'd be saving on gas, etc. and "it's beautiful, anything that's Italian is gorgeous"  Her and her hubby were still ogling and talking about it as i rode away.   [moto]

is it just me?
every time someone talks to me at a Gas station or where ever, they always say that they owned one, at one time in theyr life , then the mandatory remark "i bet its really fast!!"
(it's an s2r800 for gods sake)

You think that's bad? I get people who think my bike will go 200+ cuz its a dookati.

I have m600. I'm lucky to break 100 

[zedsaid]

Isabella don't like to do less than 90 (on the speedo, so i guess that's more like 82)

I'm out today following this guy on a gsxr1000 through some twisty country roads cause im unfamiliar with them.  We are doing  between 80-100 and im just right on his rear tire the entire time.  At one of our stops he tells me, "you scare me, because I cant see you, but I can hear you"
