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

Somebody should say something witty and sarcastically funny right about now... not me, someone who's witty and sarcastic.

By the way Norris, that AJ w/ice cream post cracked me up!

No one would ever say that to you because a parsec is in fact a measure of distance (about 19 trillion miles) and not time, as the statement implies. The only way that statement could be true is if you found some shortcut thru space that allowed you to shorten the distance between 2 points, or perhaps you took a stolen Klingon Bird of Prey around the sun at warp speed to find something that speaks Humpback Whale. Each of those scenarios is equally inconceivable.

Inconceivable?  You mean like lighting your cigarette with your light sabre?   

Inconceivable?  I don't think you know what that word means.

Besides, even an non-Star Wars fan like me knows that the Kessel Run is really much farther than twelve parsecs, so doing it in less would mean getting a lot of space into a little space, might even call it hyperspace.  But that's all fan-nerd crap anyhows.

Point of order:  a parsec is really not even a distance.  It's a measurement of degrees of parallax in a moving object, the unit of measurment being the arc-second (id est, 1/3600th of one degree of angle).  Parsec being parallax of one arc second, thus "parsec".  The use of "parsec" as a given distance is secondary an based on the distance to 61 Cigny, the distance to the first star so measured.  Interestingly, the farther the star, the smaller the parsec, so the inverse is used.

When I explained all of this to Megan Fox, she said it was so increadible that I knew all this cool stuff AND rode a Ducati Monster!  She wanted me then and there, but I had to get to church.

True story; Photoshop to follow.

Precisely the pointâ€"good luck traveling anywhere near 230,000,000,000,000 miles in a straight line (without smashing into anything)

I just picked up my first Ducati a couple of months ago.  This makes bike number 17 for me.

First comment comes from me to myself:  "MAN, why did I wait so long... "

Second comes from my ex's girlfriend (yea, you read that right, after 21 years together I lost my best friend and best motorcycle riding partner; she left me for another woman.  BTW, she rode her own bikes).  Anyway, my ex and I still talk so after getting my M1100 I sent her a text with a pic of the new bike telling here I would be over the following weekend to show it to her.  When I arrived at her and her girlfriends house her girlfriend is the first down the stairs.  She said that when my ex got the picture all she said was "damn" as in "man, I'm so envious".  Then they both proceed to tell me how "hot" the bike is.

A friend of mine that just got into riding a couple of years ago stated "you got a Ducati; man those are the fastest bikes made, right?!"  I told him, no but they are the SWEETEST!

High school age waiter at a small Italian restaurant "Oh man, you got another bike.  And it's a Ducati, Man that's my dream bike!"

At another restaurant a guy rides up on his Suzuki DL1000, touches a couple of the carbon fiber pieces on my bike (I've got CF Termis, rear seat cover, front fender, tank covers and a few other small pieces).  He says "man they did a good job painting that stuff to look like  CF"  I said "Nope, it's a Ducati, it's the real thing"

Those are my most memorable.

Excellent response, mate.

Hehehehe I love my Ducati!!!! I gotta say between my 696 and a recently adopted (from a friend giving it away) little puppy, my PUSSY QUOTIENT has been OFF the CHARTS!!!!! Hehehehehe

I have 2 good ones:

1) Pulling up to a restaurant a friend (fashion photographer) invited me to a dinner to..... As I pull up to it, I notice 4 super sexxy models, my friend and one of the restaurant owners. He comes over to say hi and also introduces me to the girls, first thing I get is all the models in unison..... "Is that a Ducati? Woooowwww" followed by more questions like "does is have a passenger seat?"...... and just as I thought I was in heaven, we walked into the restaurant and...... Surprise!!! 11 more models sitting in a long table my friend had resererved which also had windows looking outside.... So they where all staring at me when I came in.... Followed by a lot of questions from almost all of them about the Ducati. Needless to say my passenger seat was kept warm throughout the nigh; and I didn't ride back home alone...... hehehhehe

2) Downtown Miami on Biscayne Blvd in Brickell..... An Aston Martin One-77 concept car has been following me for q few blocks, then finally pulls up to my side in a stoplight and rolls down his window. "Thats a really nice bike man!" I look over at him and his car and start laughing "Man thanks, that's a really nice car too!" he looks down at his car and starts laughing too... Pulls away and makes a right onto SW8th st ....... Only Dufukincati!!!!

Man I cant believe all the damn haters in this thread..... But hey I guess your wildest wettest dream happen to be my every day reality, DEAL WITH IT!!!  Im single, Im young, I own my own recording studio and music production company and have a lot of friends in the entertainment industry, so I get to go to great parties and hang out with  sexy girls and models  all the time and they all love musicians &  rec. studios (even if its a cliche) so what? I wasnt bragging about that! I was talking about my ducati and the coolness factor it brings to you when youre out and about with your day. 

Oh that used to happen to me all the time.  Nearly every night.  But then I would wake up from the dream just as I was pulling into my driveway. 

Even the guy in your dream laughs at how ridiculous the dream is.

But hey its not my fault youre 40 and dont have shit to show (except the ducati you barely afforded and this forum), youre balding and of course a girl like that would even turn around to look at you even by mistake except if you were having a wet dream (since your wife prob doesnt make the beast with two backs you anymore) ........

BUT IT DOES HAPPEN TO ME..... I got the pics from my photographer friend, here's the url:

http://picasaweb.google.com/electrosounddesign/MissCubaIntlGoingAwayDinnerParty#

SIT ON THAT!!!!   

No photoshop either......

I'll post pictures of all this to prove it as soon as my Photoshop skills improve.

As far as the encounter with the Aston Martin,  I think I have proven I dont have any reason to be making this up, specially on this forum which I enjoy reading and feel there's a lot of cool, intelligent people that all share the passion for motorcycles and specifically Ducati's.

Just wanted to clear this up.Still dont believe me, before you post some dumb ass reply GOOGLE my name.... Pablo Reynoso, Technicolor Lounge, Inc.
