We were two stroke guys. Wink

Ah, reed valves and Klotz 2 stroke mix... the good old days! waytogo [moto]

I'm a Z1 fan to this day. I have a '83 Lawson Replica (EPM mags, CalFab Swingarm, Fox shocks, Performance Machine brakes/rotors...) and a '05 ZRX1200R (in Kawi green, the fastest color of course!).

Oops, end of thread jack! bang head

I think I'd say it just to cheese someone off.


I thought we rode these things because we liked them, not for what other people thought?

maybe i was more tweeked that he didn't know it was a ducati. always looking for riders no matter what they ride to hang out with.. can't forgive not knowing the difference between a buell and a ducati.

Stupid Question #1: (while getting on or off the bike) "Is that your bike?"

Stupid Question #2: Why did you buy a Ducati?

Stupid Question #3: Why do you ride a motorcycle?

Yeah, when I am carrying around my helmet and get questions like, "You ride a motorcycle???" I've started answering, "No, I just don't feel very safe in cars these days." cheeky

That's a good one...

Was in the elevator, ready to leave work.  Ran into someone who I hadn't seen in awhile.  He saw me with my riding jacket on and a helmet in hand and he asked "so you ride a motorcycle?"  Without missing a beat, I answered "yah, I would look like a fool with all these on if I don't have a bike."

I just got the "So do you ride?" question while someone was looking at my leather jacket during the summer.  I should have answered "No, I'm cold blooded and can't get warm in 90 degree weather."

Is that a Ninja? ...Anything above 500cc here in Panama, is called a "Ninja" by non educated people, even thought it doesn't have fairings, if it has fairings, you'll spend the whole weekend explaining why YOUR bike is not a "Ninja".

Sad but True...

"How big is the engine?"  (looking at my S2R800)

800cc.

"800cc??!!  That's really small!!  I would have thought those Ducatis would be much bigger.  It must be a really slow one."

The GP race bike is also 800cc, I think it tops out around 215mph.

"No way!  800cc bike go that fast?  You are shittin me!"

I guess I am.  (shrugging and put my helmet back on)

On my way home yesterday a guy pulls up next to me in an older toyota pick-up (4-cylinder 22r) and it goes like this:

What year is that?
2007.
That's a bad-ass looking bike.
Thanks.
If you wanna wait at the gas station while I fill up (right after the light we were at) I'll race ya!
 Huh?


I wasn't sure what to say to that, but fortunately the light changed and saved me the trouble.
