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

[CMDRDAVE]

Yesterday when I pull into my cousin's driveway:  "Sounds like you really need a tune up."  Her husband immediately says, "Nope, sounds like engineering"

At a stop light guy pulls up and does a double take "holy crap that's a ducati" .

I couldn't help but smile

Came out of work and was walking up to my M696 Dark. Noticed a guy taking video with his cell. Said none of his Harley buddies would believe him. Fired it up for him and put a smile on his face. Came out the next day and found five Harley guys standing by it. Said they had to see and hear it in person.

things are progressing... hope one day you don't go out and it's gone

I've been asked twice if my 1994 M900 is the latest model.

I was cruising down the highway and went past a dude driving a van. He was hell staring so I slowed back to let him get a look. When I pulled up next to me at the lights he said "Holy shit man, thats sounds like a FREAKIN TRUCK!"

In addition to that, just the usual people stopping to look, walking around it etc.

Gotta love it!

I was out on a 250 mile trip today and was coming up behind a guy in a cage - he was watching me in his rear view mirror and as I opened the throttle to pass him, he opened his window and stuck his ear in the opening [moto] Several confirmation high beam flashes as I disappeared    I love my Termis!

My 11 year old son had his second brain surgery this summer. He was suffering from pretty bad siezures. Anyway, he has been siezure free for 3 months now, and my wife and I are stoked.  She didn't want him on the back of the bike, in case anything happened to him. We ended up doing about a 200km ride, no stops. When we eventually stopped he said, " Hey dad, when you die, can I have your Ducati ?"
It was great. I am 41 by the way.

I hope he stays seizure free.

That's a really good one! When I was in the hospital with four crushed vertebrae from a wild turkey kamikaze attack while riding my bike my 10 and a half year old step son walks up to my bed and says "You know, I don't think I want that dirt bike anymore". All I could say was that would make your mother very happy! [moto]

Hope your son's health continues to improve!

I think my favorite is "What is that?!?!?" 

[Grampa]

I like the simple statements.

Today I rode the monster to the post office. As I'm putting my helmet on, I see a woman pull up in a red convertable a few parking spaces back from me. It's raining slightly today, and she's driving with the top down, so ya know she's cool   (I'm guessing she was about 70ish)

She walks up to me as I'm getting on the bike, and with all the elegance and grace age bestows upon a woman..... she says...."Ducati..... niiiiiice"

I'm getting comments almost every day now and sometimes every time I park my bike.  I actually had my wife try and count how many people just stared as we rode around and she lost count on a 10 mile ride.  Today was "Is that your Ducati?" (I'm the only one around, not to mention the only one with a jacket, gloves, helmet, boots and helmet hair).  "That's a hot bike!"

Over the weekend my neighbor came running up to me and my wife before we took off and he wanted to talk about it asking all sorts of questions.  We've been neighbors for 4 years and I talk to him almost every day and he has never said anything about any other bike I've owned.  He ended it with "I wish I could have a bike... but, my wife..." and just shook his head.

He ended it with "I wish I could have a bike... but, my wife..." and just shook his head.

I will never understand this.  I have been married ten years and I have never once had to use these words.  Now grant it I don't ask for much and I don't need much.  However, mine are less requests and more statements.  "I am getting this new TV (50" plasma 3 years ago because I wanted a new one for superbowl.)"

her response, "good we needed a new TV"

I am getting an M750"

her, "wow thats a nice looking bike cant wait to ride it with you"

"I want an S4R to replace the M750" 

her, "make sure you get the right one for you this time"


I had to force her into NOT buying me a PS3 when they came out because I thought they were rediculously overpriced.

I guess I just got a good one?

That makes 2 of us... you see that part up there about my wife and I taking off for a ride 

[Moto-Lux]

Headlight, front fender, and the name  ("Moto-Sux") - silly. I do like the handlebars (I bet they are comfortable). Was that a salvage rebuilt?
