In that case would you be yanked if I created a copy? I know how it is to have everyone copy your ideas, so I wouldn't make this without your permission.

I'm not a fan of most stickers, so it would be cool to make one of those as a magnet.

You can always find "Magnetic Stock".  It is a sheet of magnet that you can put stickers on and cut out.  We used to use it when we autocrossed to put numbers on the car.  I know you can get some stuff like that at a craft store.  I haven't been able to find the stuff we used to use, it was rated for like 100 mph.

Lately I've had an inordinate number of people rubber necking as they drive past me when I'm on the Monster. It really must be the nice weather we're having. I get  lots of [thumbsup] and head nods. Even had 2 guys in a van recently drive up next to me just to yell "nice bike" out the window.

It's happening so much though that it's almost weird.



We'll either way though - I'll take it.  [thumbsup]  ....cause I look like this under my helmet every time: ;D

I was at a stop light and this older guy pulls up next to me in his F-150 pickup truck and leans out the window and says:

"Hey, what size is that?" with a smile on his face.

I open my visor and reply

"It's a 620"

He nods as if giving approval and the light turns green and we go about a 1/4 mile to the next light also red.

He leans out the window again and says:

"Hey"

I raise my visor again. And he says:

"I ride Harley's. I always have, but THAT is cool"

Gives me the thumbs up as the light turns green and that was the end of it.  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]



Gotta love those rare instances where a die hard Harley rider gives a Duc props!

Lately, no one has been saying anything cool.  It's always either, "How fast does it go?" or "How much did it cost?"

This is why I record as much as possible, but no matter what or how much I record when I don't is when all the good stuff happens.

Got a compliment today from an old friend/ex/long story/trouble. We grabbed lunch together and she was talking about her husband buying a motorcycle. He apparently was looking for a commuter bike and had narrowed it down to a Ninja 250 and a Honda Rebel. She told him either one would be fine for what he wanted it for, but that "the only thing that was she was going to climb on was a Ducati like Ted's"

He isn't a real big fan of mine.

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

And your reply: "Oh, only about 50,000 Euros"  [thumbsup]

"That thing is LOUD!"... at least that's what I thought they said (with ears ringing)

I came out of a restaurant in downtown Hampton after eating lunch and one of the kitchen crew was standing on the sidewalk looking my bike over.  "Is that a Monster?" he asked.  "Yes," I replied.  "Dude, it's absolutely gorgeous."  "Thanks."

  My first ride  on this bike out to a  impound sale a old guy on a endro bike sees my m750 sitting behind a jap bike as he is riding by and  he pulls over and gets down and really checks it out from top to bottom then loads his big belly on his bike and blows away . a striped down street fighter  fits  the urban  metro  looks .
