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

[Teutonics]

Sometimes what is NOT said could be just as good...

My bike is a rather "plain jane" m900 with hard cases.  I was meeting some folks in a grocery store parking lot and got there first, so parked off by my self in the middle of the unused part of the lot to wait for everyone else to meet up.  Of course everyone else was late, so I walked to the edge of the lot to sit in the shade.  A couple minutes later, an attractive lady drove up to my bike, got out of the car and walked around the bike, then took a picture and got in her car and drove off.  I'm assuming that is a compliment...   [moto]

Yep . That absolutely is a compliment .

I had a 50-something woman checking out my bike yesterday. I rode up at a set of traffic lights that take several minutes to change. She looked pretty good, and was driving a nice car (AMG C63 Black Series anyone?). She was just sorta starring at the bike and looking over at it in that sort of longing way. After about a minute I turned the bike off, opened my visor, and said "hey, don't worry, my bike thinks you're pretty hot too!".

She blushed, had a good giggle, said thanks, and then the lights changed.

Of course, being a cheeky under 30 I can get away with that .

Just hopped off my '97 Monster and got my helmet off at a restaurant to meet a friend, when this hot woman in a business outfit stopped, turned at me, looked at the Monster, looked back at me and said,"Nice bike."

Ya gotta love it.

Downtown stopped at a long light. A fashionable young couple runs up to me as the light turned green and the guy yells at me,

"Will you take my girlfriend for a ride?!"










uh, ya.

I was crusing into a parking spot next to a dude wearing harley davidson stuff from ehad to toe who was getting off his new harley with teh 30-day tag.  He looks at my vented cluch and asks;

what's that sound, is that your cluch?

I said yeah, then he asks why it has holes

I told him I drilled holes on the cover and he tells me;

"I don't think you're supposed to do that"

[Jarvicious]

The woman in the C63 Black was oogling at your bike?  If it were me it would be the other way around.

Oh, there was plenty of checking out of the Black . I've had a soft spot for the AMGs since getting a C55 for a day and a bit for my eldest brother's wedding (mechanic at a MB, among other manufacturers, dealership). Great car .

C63 Black so much more though .

I don't have a Monster (Yet at least) but I'll never forget one day when I was in training.  As the brand new rookie I was driving the car, with a senior guy supervising me.  He knew I was into bikes.  We pulled up next to an S4R at a light, and he says "wow, what kind of bike is that?"  Here's a guy that knows nothing about bikes at all, but the Monster impressed him.  When I explained a bit about what Ducatis are all about, he was even more impressed.

So Saturday evening I went on a spirited ride with a new sportbike group.  If you went down the line, it went R6, R1, FZ6, my M750 ('99 w/40,000miles), GSX-R600, CBR600R, BMW F800s, R6. So as everyone started their bikes: ziiiing, ziiiing, ziiiing! Then mine exploded into life: ROOOAAARRR!!!    All heads turn and I get multiple  's. 
 
Compliment #2: We came up Mulholland past Rock Store, I was 3rd in line (R6, R1, me).  At the top, R1 said to me, " you want to lead? Cuz coming into every corner all I hear is E N G I N E  B R A K I N G ! ! !  He said it really loud and drawn out. Then he asked how close was I.

now those are classic.

I didn't realize it, but after looking at some pics of a group ride it did i had a few no comment compliments.

I rode up on a DOC ride.. 996, 999 STs 916, monsters... etc all very nice looking. i of course show up late with my little 696. But i had gotten the Roads Italia CF pipes and removed the DB limiters. Had the R&G tail chop. well it definitely didn't look stock. SO i come roaring in... in Germany not too many have the DB killers out due to strict enforcement. Had guys riding SBKs come up and just stare and point and nod. ask me about the shortened pipes... it was definitely heartwarming to be appreciated by so many Duc owners

[sroberts152]

In the last 2 days my compliments have gone through the roof. 

I had a woman come up to me yesterday and ask how my bike was (She had talked to me about my 696 about a month ago).  I told her I sold it... she looked devastated.  I told her I sold it to upgrade to the 1100 and she ran out to check out the new bike.  All she could say was "Wow..."

I had 2 guys this morning tell me how nice my bike was and that they had to stop to check it out before making it into the coffee shop.  One guy was a V-Star rider and the older guy kept saying he liked mine so much more than a cruiser.  He asked if I was the guy they heard every morning.  I said yes.  And explained this being the new bike (and quieter until I can get my boom tubes). 

From the "sometimes the best compliments aren't said out lout" file:

I was splitting lanes during my commute home yesterday and a passenger in the carpool lane was turned in his seat staring at my bike.

This morning, I had a guy on a new CBR1000RR pass me on the freeway (he had to have been doing over 100 at 6:45).  He slowed down when he caught up and I gave him a wave.  He paused, turned in the saddle to face me, looked at my bike front to back, top to bottom and then gives me this big thumbs up.  He gasses it to take off, pauses, gives me one more look and one more thumbs up and takes off.

Going along with the not said out loud compliment & very similar to srobert152.
I had a guy on a cough drop orange & black GSXR1000 (I do dig that color) come flying past me on the freeway through town the other day. Suddenly he slowed down (Oh shit!, my radar didn't go off, where is he?) then pulled beside me, looked at the bike...I figure he's about to attempt to "school me" on the power of his bike. Instead he backed off, got in behind me & followed for the remainder of my trip down the slab.  As I signaled to exit he pulled beside me, took his hands off the bars, bowed & gave a  .

As far as verbal comments go:  Ducati? Wheres that from, Itly? 
Yes I spelled it wrong.
