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

[Monster Dave]

Today I was on a roll.

I rode to the motocycle shop after work and had 2 guys inquiring about my bike - one gave a compliment to my exhaust, the other loved how "clean" and uncluttered it looked.

A motorcycle officer was at the shop and complimented my bike while his was getting a tire replaced.

And the best one was on the way home a guy with passes me on a dirt bike going down the road and gives me a big  as he rode by checking out my bike!


All that really made my day!

I have a dark 696 and I always hear that it looks like batmans bike. The other thing I hear all the time are people making statements that imply I'm some baller that could afford a $100k bike.

My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grow up. So I am sure you can be Batman if you want to.

Most recent thing that happened to me wasn't a "said" type encounter.  I was eating a burger at a local Dairy Queen sitting in a booth facing the highway.  I see a rider on a Suzuki Dual Sport bike riding by.  The rider looked at my M1100 sitting sideways to the highway about 50 feet from the highway (curb side facing the highway), kept looking as he went by, even turned around backward and looked some more as he traveled on.  I kinda got worried about his safety as he rode looking back.

Don't you love it. When someone asks how much you paid for it, it's the same as asking how fast it will go: "I honestly didn't pay over 100K for it" or "I haven't gone over 200mph on it"

Little kid at the gas station the other day asked me if it was faster then his dads mini-van, I told him heck no your dads mini-van is way faster....

[Monster Dave]

It must be the nice weather because I got another compliment on my Monster this morning when I was parking it at work.



I love how Ducati are so revered by everyone who doesn't own one...it's the motorcycle equivalent of a Ferrari. It could be an 80's era Magnum PI 308, but it still turns all the heads!


I love that!

You are a good man.  You returned the good karma back to the dad.

Yeah, except the kid's dad was driving this...

I work with a few Portuguese ladies and the day after I got my Duc, they all came out to look at it.  One of them said "Damn boy, this bike ees goin to get you some poosay".  Made everybody laugh.

I guess this would fall into the compliment category...

A chick I know is a little bit of a looker, so a bunch of us are out and we leave the bar when it closes.  My bike is close to the entrance and we are all kind of hanging out and chatting.  This girl that is plowed comes up to me and says:

Plowed chick: I just want to let you know I sat on your bike.
Me: Why?
Plowed chick: Beeeecaaauuuuseeee it is a Duuuucccaaatttiii (slurring her words and while doing that running her finger down the tank under the lettering)
Me: well next time you have a thought just let it go...you should never sit on someones bike without there permission.
Chick Friend: Can I sit on your bike? (being all naughty sounding)
Me: Sure...
So I start it up and let it run a little bit and she sits on it.
I give it a good fist full of throttle and she jumps off it. 
Me: What is wrong?
Chick Friend: Nothing, but I need a smoke now
Oh did I mention she was wearing a really short skirt?

So fast forward a couple of days, at my house, some friends are hanging out, chick friend included.
She asks me if I would take her for a ride.  I said sure.  She then tells me she has never been on a bike before.  I told her I would be easy with her.
So I have some extra gear.  She puts it on and we set off.

I pull up to a stop sign and down shift and give a little blip of the throttle and let it roll down, I love that sound!
All of a sudden she squeezes my hips with there legs. 
We pull up to the stop and I ask her if she is ok
Chick friend says she is fine.
Go down the road and come to another stop.  Downshift through the gears and roll it down.  Same thing happens she squeezes my hips with her legs.
I ask again if she is ok, and she says yeah...but this time sounding like she is out of breath a little bit.
Light bulb goes off...hehehe she is REALLY enjoying her ride.   

So I find a nice long straight and give some gas and get up about 45 or so and she is holding tight with her hips still....come to a stop and just drop it down two gears, grab a bunch of throttle, let out the clutch pretty fast and let it roll down.

Now at this point she is squeezing my hips so hard she is almost coming of the seat.  And her finger nails are now digging into my thighs...

We get back to my house.  She gets off the bike and gets her helmet off.  I ask her so how did you like the ride?

Chick friend: I need a smoke and also I am going to need a towel!

So probably my best complement ever...getting a girl to ummm....well you know.   

Needless to say anytime the weather is nice she is calling to go for another ride.

Good story, but you would have lost me if you had started talking about supermodels hovering around you because you were living la vida loca.

I'm assuming your motorcycle seat is vinyl.  Stories like this make me wonder about the wisdom of some who invest in those fancy suede seat covers.

You know, that's just the normal studio executives experience.
