I'm standing beside the monster putting on my gloves and helmet when an American tourist in the early twenties comes running. "Man! Can you take a picture of me and the bike?" I'm slightly baffled, but "Sure!" He then throws his leg over the bike and I snap a couple of pictures of him grinning from ear to ear. Afterwards he shakes my hand and says " That's the best bike ever!"  and runs off. I'm sure he meant monsters in general, but it made my day none the less.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

"Thats a Monster?? WOW!"





Do you have a write up or more information on the body work?
Last time I saw a thread, you still had the monster tank and seat. 
I see high pipes too.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

My favorite watering hole is in a trendy section of town with lots of foot traffic, so I like to park it on the street and sit on the breezeway.  It's great for people watching, nice to see people check out my bike, and the parallel parking fails are hilarious.

Anyway, I'm sitting there drinking diet cokes with some friends when some guy walking up the street stops to look at the bike and then proceeds to spend 10 minutes with an old film camera taking pictures of my bike.  I caught his attention before he disappeared and asked him to send me the pictures.

putting my gear on after an ocean swim, a guy walks up and starts admiring my bike.  "Man, I like everything about that.  Monster, that's awesome."  He then walks two spaces over to his HD and rides away with a nod.

Ive had someone say something UNcool...

the comcast installation guy looked it over after I washed it in the driveway..
Him "thats a nice looking bike"
Me "thanks"
Him "who makes it"
Me "Ducati"
Him "Yeah, but I thought they were made by Harley"
Me "Never. Your probably thinking of Buell"
Him "Yeah, maybe.  Why didnt you get a Buell"
Me "I would buy an American bike if anyone made one worth owning.  And Buell got dropped by Harley"
Him "Oh."

I really contemplated asking him to leave.

"if you are EVER interested in selling, PLEASE CONTACT ME!" with name, phone, and email

two elderly guys sitting close by were like, yeah, you call that guy, he was gawking/walking/circling around your bike for like 5 minutes"

felt good.

So I needed some touch up paint/nail polish due to the tail chop. Walked into the beauty supply store and started poking around. Couple minutes later some girl comes to help, "Yeah sure I need some paint that will match this" and hand her the cut sub frame.

Back at the counter we throw some test swatches on. She asks what is this for, I say its for my Ducati motorcycle. Sheet you not all 3 girls stop what they are doing and give me the up and down. It was hilarious.

They call it nail polish.
