I get a lot of fun looks lane splitting next to cars with open windows and Terms. After comming to a light, a guy pulls next to me and says "dude, you scared the shit out of me, but your bike looks awesome, so I forgive you"

Homeless dude: "Whats the top speed on that thing, 180?"
Me: "Yup..."

Thought of this thread right away, had to post.

I met a guy at a bookstore/coffee shop the other day. He had been considering getting his endorsement for a while, but had been putting it off because he hadn't seen a bike that he really liked yet...

He's now getting his endorsement.

Had a semi-knowledgeable motorist tell me how much he loved the sound of the Ducati dry clutch when we were stopped at a stoplight. Unfortunately, I happened to be on the wet clutch M600 at the time...

Man, I've got to get around to fixing that rattling passenger footpeg one of these days.

Reminded me of this story.  I was pulling into the parking garage at work and was stopped at the gate, scanning the keycard.  A colleague of mine pulled up to the gate to the right of me in his convertible BMW Z3/4.  I gave him a nod.  

Later on, he stop by and talked to me in the office.  He complimented on my bike and how great it looks.  Then, with a very concerned voice, he asked if I was having engine problem because of excessive rattling and pinging from the engine.  I proceeded to tell him all about Ducati and dry clutch.  

I think he walked away more confused than ever.    LOVE IT!

^^^ I get that all the time on the ST2, which does have a dry clutch & open cover.

Funniest was my buddy giving me grief about the noise when he was on his hot rodded rat-bike Harley. I reminded him that he has a dry clutch too, but just can't hear it over the rest of the racket!

I'm getting suited up after leaving the drug store, a guy walks past with a baby in his arms.

guy: Hey nice Ducati. Trade you?
me: With what?
guy: the baby.

Guy's wife shows up shoving him to move on.

me: err, I would need atleast 2 babies for my baby.
guy shouts out as he walks way.: seeya next year!

Poor guy! But my thanks to all the breeders out there that are taking care of populating the planet so I can continue to be selfish!

My 26 year old son takes my monster S2R (I'm the one that did the bike with the Sharpie marker) to a local car show and he draws a crowd.  All the young guys are swarming around it saying..."man, that bike is SICK!!! - it's the COOLEST THING EVER!!".  His reply... "It's my MOM'S."

a older man, maybe somebodies grandpa said,"your bike sounds beautiful". and that was when i had my blown out OE clutch.

I was riding down the Fl coast on my 09 696. Traveling with a friend who has a 06 620 and we stop to get some gas. As we are prepairing to leave a guy comes running out of the store and asks what type of bikes are those? We reply Ducati Monsters. He then says he has never seen ducatis like that before, compliments us and goes back in the store. About a week later I see a guy out of the window at work walking up to my bike with his phone in hand and starts taking pics of my bike from all angles. I must say I was quite flattered.
