I used to live in a sort of gated community type thing by the river in Sydney.....about a month after I put the termi's on I got home and opened the door to the wife standing naked holding two glasses of wine!  Result!

later on I asked how she knew when to get her clothes off and not catch cold standing about for ages... she replied "are you kidding!? I can hear you 3 streets away!!"

Nicest thing said and also to happen as a result of the Duc.

Nice! Good girl! :)

LOL.  I had QD on my 620.  My wife would set the table for dinner when she heard me coming.  By the time I got in the house, the dinner would be served.  [thumbsup] 

I never knew just how far the low rumbling sound would carry, untill I sold it and the guy rode it away.  I heard it 2-3 blocks away when he engine brake.

Just getting off from dodging jury duty and having a smoke in the at DC courthouse bike parking area, a guy in some nice orange coveralls with no shoelaces walks up...
"Is that the old Harley sport bike?"
"No, sorry its not"
"Yeah, looks too fast to be made by those assh*les, be safe"

Not a very interesting one, but definitely a source of pride...

I was sitting in a restaurant with a couple friends, window seat, where I could see my bike. I look out, and a man with his daughter (about 3 years old) are near my bike. He then proceeds to stand his daughter in front of it, while he pulls out his phone to take a couple pictures of her and the bike. We watch as it appears he's trying to explain things to her.

Conversely, I was at a motel a while back and a couple kids were horsing around near my bike. Luckily their mother was near by, telling them to NOT touch the bike. I was grateful for that.

Stopped to stretch my legs and use the head midway through some canyon riding last wednesday when a guy came jogging up to ask me if my monster was "one of those ducatis that sounds like a big V8" he then explained that one that looks like mine screams between lanes every morning on his way to work, but is always going to fast for him to get a good look.  I fired it up and he just stood there grinning ear to ear as I rode off.  (I dont think he recognized my friends Aprilia RSV Mille R for what it was, the monsters to tend to stand out in a crowd  ;D

Naked wins most times, lol. I would love to have a Mille in my garage too. A neighbour has a Tuono and it is a beast!

Minor thread jack but don't know where else to put a good Monster story... sorry, it's not about mine. Just went on a family vacation to my brother's cabin in New Mexico. We stopped at the same Love's gas station/truck stop in Amarillo on I-40 to fuel on the way up and coming back.

Last Saturday at the Love's there was a guy heading to Austin, TX with a Monster 900 in the back of his pickup. Naturally I step up and shoot the shit with him for a while about his Duc and mine. We talk for awhile, shake hands and go our ways. Then yesterday heading home from NM a guy pulls up next to me at the same Love's with a really nice red S4RS in the back of his truck! He lived in Las Vegas and was heading home after a 1,600 mile ride around Virginia. I had to tell him about the other Duc owner at the Love's just a week before. We agreed it was good karma! We even walked inside together to go to the bathroom still talking about Ducs. Never had a Duc conversation in a bathroom while taking a leak with a perfect stranger before but it just seemed like the thing to do! [laugh] [laugh]

As I get in the Suburban to leave my wife gives me that "look" and asks "Do you have to talk with every damn Ducati owner you see?" My answer... "Of course!" [laugh] [thumbsup] [Dolph]

End of thread jack. ;D

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."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I love it.  A very enlightened comment.  That sums up what a monster is.
