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

[DesmoReynoso]

Really? When you walk into a room with only 40 posts (a new posting member by any acceptable means) and start right off talking about a situation that sounds extra extra-ordinary, then follow it up with "proof", there's a natural tendency to be received as you were.

I agree with you Monster Dave, looking back at my original post it can come off as an extra extra-ordinary situation and perhaps even pretentious, but that wasnt the intention at all, neither was bragging about my life or girls I sleep with. What did piss me off is being called a liar when THIS THINGS DID HAPPEN and I have absolutely no reason to lie about it or make up stories about that in this forum. The responses really took me by surprise, thats why I posted the pics back.....

As far as my bike Nordog, I havent made any mods on it yet so I didnt think it would be DMF worthy to post yet. Ill PM them to you so you can put a sock on it though..... 

Haters will always be haters, I guess. Doesnt matter if its a job, motorcycles, women, whatever, you guys (Haters) just cant help it. so take a step back and look at your own life and figure out whats missing, because I wake up everyday and live my dream, DO YOU?   

I was going to make a comment about having no trouble at all getting together with women more attractive than in those Picasaweb photos but that I don't because my wife resents it when I spend the mortgage money on escorts. I was going to use that as an analogy to any other thing that the young, attractive, and brainless find themselves attracted to in the sense that there's not much difference between spending time with someone for an explicit fee and doing so because they have a recording studio.

I agree with you however I dont pay them and they are not escorts or hookers. They come to the studio and hang out because they like to hang out with musicians and artists that come by and love listening to the stuff we're working on. And it is one of those cliches that is just true. But you are right and it doesnt change anything or add anything positive to this snowball so lets just leave it at that.

I apologize to everyone else reading, my intention was not at all to create this much fuzz about something so stupid and far removed from the main reason we all hang out here.

Dude,

I happened to like your story and really more power to you for doing something you enjoy and if that gets you hot trim than I'm even happier for you (if a bit jealous ).  Some dudes get a little elitist around here sometimes.  Don't let that take away from the time you spend on here.

Yeah, not sure what that means, but okay.

Looks like you need to get one of these stickers for your bike (if you don't have one already)...

In any event, you really should lighten up.  Just because people give you some sarcastic grief over your demonstrably poser postings, it's no reason to bust out with all the faux enlightened "hater" rhetoric, and remember, you should never show up to a war of wits so completely unarmed.

Back on topic though.

I was walking out to my bike this morning and Gwen Stefani came running up to me and said, "OH!  That's YOUR bike!  No wonder you're SO HOT!  I bet you own a recording studio!"

I told her, "No.  In fact I'm almost deaf."

She said, "I don't care, I WANT you!"

"Of course you do, now get out of my way before I call a cop."

Damn groupies.

That's funny, she said the same thing to me the other day. Then she saw I was old, bald and really didn't do anything of interest and walked away. She probably mistook me for you. You lucky stiff!

OK... enough goofing around, now let's get back to best/favorite bike stuff.

from readaing the past drama with the person that was a recording studio owner, it seems things got lost in translation here.

studio owner =  very successful guy, probably does have friends like he says, what he posted originally did happen, so i don't doubt that at all.   more power to him!!!  He wrote a good story on an incident that happened and that is cool.

problem i saw was this.  the story "sounded outlandish" because its not everyday that it happens for others, doesn't mean its not true but its not everyday for everyone else..  so people jokingly bust his chops and such.

studio owner, takes it personally that he is not "being believed or people are calling him a liar and busting his chops" and then proceeds to post up proof of event and feels the need to "clear his name and show he is telling the truth".

what studio owner should have done is realize that not everyone is going to believe him because this is an anonymous forum board and not everyone is as fortunate as him, and should have just chilled and jokingly posted up other stories and such and bust chops right back.  but instead he takes it personally and feels the need to "prove himself" and the ensuing pi$$ing match happens.

now are both sides wrong? of course they are.

people here busted studio owner's chops because the story was different, maybe this should not have been done as we do not know his level of sensitivity so in a way that maybe was not the nicest way to introduce a new person.  so that was wrong.

studio owner was equally wrong by flying of the handle calling everyone names and such because he was not believe right off the bat.  he should have realized that not everyone is as fortunate as him and calmy explained to everyone that it happens to him all the time without sounding arrogant or with name calling. 

there are plenty of other rich/powerful folks on this board that have more money than they know what to do with that do not fly off the handle when questioned or people bust their chops.

studio owner is a lucky guy i give him props, from his posted pics he is young guy having a good life.  That is great.  but he is a young guy and we should give him some slack, he is very successful and such, but he has some maturing to do, we have all been there and been that arrogant when we were younger.  Hey that is what you do when you are young. so i can understand why he reacted the way that he did, he is a young guy and he did what young guys do, give him some time he will mature just like everyone else.

have a good holiday season everyone and welcome to the board studio owner.

ps. studio owner, we ask for pictures in a joking manner since we always like to see everyone elses bikes, thus the "show us pics or you don't have the bike" line, its not saying "you are a liar" its just a way of busting chops to get you to post pics of the bike that you love so that we can appreciate it just as much as you.

Sbrguy,

What I read in your post is that studio guy is too young to be treated like an adult, or to be expected to behave as one.

[Buckethead]

I use the "pics or it didn't happen" line in my everyday life, and as stated above, usually just to bust chops. 

On to something semi-relevant to this thread!

I was cleaning/lubing the chain on my Sport 1000 in the parking lot outside my barracks this last weekend. I see a base security car roll into the parking lot as I'm hosing down the chain with WD-40 like its going out of style. (Before you freak, WD is the second of 3 steps in my chain-maintenance process.) Now, I've got a t-shirt under the chain to catch run-off, but the first thought that goes thru my mind is "this asshole's gonna call in a haz-mat spill." Anyone with a military background will understand all that that entails. I watch, in terror, as he rolls up parallel with my bike and eases to a stop and his window rolls down.

Him, with a deep 'Bama accent : "That your bike?"

Me: "Uh... Yeah?"

Him: "Gawddam, that thing is sexy! Wish I made that kind of money."

Before I can say anything else, he rolls off.

I believed it until the bullshit Aston 77 part.  (funny thing the internet...never know who knows who or who is who for that matter...one phonecall checked that out)  


and folks gotta realize most of the forum members ride.   hard.    stories about how cool the bike makes you at commuting speeds are always good for a self-depricating laugh.   Any time somone talks about how cool they are on xyz brand of bike it's funny.   We all do it and we all should have our chops busted when the rest of the forum calls us out on it.

laugh.   it's sexier to the opposite sex than the machismo anyway.

I'm not cool.   I am very happy.


Best thing anyone said about my bike was to threaten to paint the BSTs pink.    over drinks.     on a weekend where we all gathered to bullshit each other....and ride.    hard.

[ducpainter]

Did someone say pink BSTs?

I'm your guy.

Do eeeet!

Ship 'em this way.

[sbrguy]

statler... sorry but i am totally and completely ultra cool on my mostly stock used 620 monster...

well at least in my mind i am "that cool dude" but if anyone is dumb enough to think i'm "that cool" who am i to tell them otherwise? 

i got the standard story that everyone has:

person hears you have a ducati, and immediately they say "that is a nice bike, those are expensive to maintain"

to which i reply "only if you ride it a lot and if you get one you will want to ride it a lot"
