Not a question, but a statement:
My wife, the day I picked up my bike- "That thing is ugly"

I would've told her that my taste in bikes is identical to my taste in women.  end of conversation.
"That bike looks like if you knocked it over, it would stand itself up and kick your ass!!"

My bike is growing on her.  She told me a couple of weeks ago that my bike looks a lot better now that I cut "that thing" off the back (beer tray).

What?  You like loud, sexy, and high maintenance women who you are proud to take out in the public?  Meeeee too!

My friend's husband asked me, "Does that thing have balls?"

I honestly didn't really know how to answer. I just gave him a blank stare.

I beg to differ, what ducati or triumph doesn't leak   ;D   It's a feature unfortunately.  I stopped sweating it  :(

You can't lump Italian and English machines together.

I would now like to add this to the list here  [cheeky]

After I sold my sports car, my wife says to me, "You should buy a motorcycle."

And I said, "Really?"

And she said, "Ya. You should get a Ducati."

And so I did. I love my wife.

Also ....

I always get complimented about my bike, but the other day I was driving down the road and this guy driving a truck in the lane next to me leans his head out his window and yells, "That Ducati is awesome! Finally someone gets a decent motorcycle in this retarded town." And then he drove off screaming, "whoo hooo!"

As much as I liked his compliment, I decided to fall back in traffic and not be next to him anymore.

I believe this should be in the "Coolest thing someone said about your bike thread." [cheeky]

Not really a stupid comment but a comment none the less. ...

was riding over the weekend with some friends who for the first time saw my Monster.  They know nothing of Ducs so of course the first thing was a comment about the clutch rattle.

Later that night I get a txt from my friend.

"dude, i can still hear your clutch"

I replied with.. yeah its pretty awesome huh?

A couple of weeks back I was in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot drinking a coffee. A harley dude pulls up and he's looking at my bike and says "Hmmm. Ducati, all you got there really is a harley, the italians buy the engines from harley davidson, see it's a v-twin. harley owns the patent on them and are the only ones who can make them". I just continued drinking my coffee and changed the subject to all the chrome stuff on his bike, which he was more than happy to talk about.

Normally I would have, but this dude was a full-patch wearing member of a major 1%'er MC club.
