Ducati all the way

[The Bacon Junkie]

This story needs a pic of Duc t-shirt wearing douche drinking coffee on a 999 in front of Starbucks!


 

no No NO!!!   

You've got it all wrong... 

I can't be on the Triple-9 drinking coffee... I have to stand next to it, staring at it, waiting for people to come up and ask me questions and make comments... 

BTW, we can make this happen at DIMBY next weekend, especially since Carl and Mel gave me the shirt and card!

Oh yeah..those were my intentions!

partial douche if you bought the "non-licensed" patches from China.  If you walked into the Duc store then  you're a full douche who just might be broke.   

neither!  they are all original vintage IoM/MHR and SSR patches, and one Tony Rutter commemorative!

Yeah, I don't know.  It's just that t-shirts with motorcycle logos just don't seem to be in the same category as designer luggage.

Triumph t-shirts...available at any Luck Brand store in any mall. Nothing douchey about that!

Really?  Gee, I haven't been in a mall in years.

What's a Luck Brand store?  Is that a typo for Lucky Brand?  What kind of store is it?

In any event, my point stands.  If one can't recognize a distinction between a bike t-shirt and designer luggage, so be it.  I can explain it to you, but I can't comprehend it for you.

Ya, typo for Lucky. It's like an expensive Gap...and has zero to do with motorcycles, other than paying to use the name.

I do get what you're saying, and I somewhat agree. I just think its stupid to say someone who buys a Ducati bag is automatically a douche though...it may be the only Ducati branded thing they own besides their motorcycle. Who knows. Tumi does make very nice bags, which last. I don't see anything wrong with getting one that says Ducati if you ride one.

Now if they don't own a Ducati then I'd probably agree they're a douche...just like the guy who bought his motorcycle shirt at Lucky but doesn't ride. Whatever though...we all have our opinions.

That's what YOU think!

[/ironic sarcasm]

IMO, moto logo gear is fine in moderation and when on an item that is actually used with/on or worn while on a motorcycle.

Though I do have a nice H-D whiskey glass.

I say, moderation in all things is good, as long as you don't get carried away with it.

I had an old lady boarding the plane in front of me with a Tumi/Ducati logo backpack.  I asked what she rode and she replied she doesn't (DOUCHE).  And believe it or not just three people behind me another potential DOUCHE with the roller bag but I couldn't confirm full doucherie.

You know... People who buy Ducati labeled stuff increase the cache of the bike and keep the company in the black.

Don't hate TOO much on them!

I also saw a lady the other day with the backpack boarding a plane in Ft. Lauderdale. She was 5 people in front and I'm not the type to go over and ask unless she's standing right next to me.

I was in the elevator leaving work one day.  A guy walked in with a Tumi/Ducati messenger bag that doubles as laptop bag.  I remember meeting him awhile back so I started a conversation.  Just to be friendy.  Just before the elevator reached the lobby, I asked if he rides a Ducati, pointing at the bag.  With a embarrassed forced smile, he said his wife bought him the bag becuase it's nice looking.  He then quickly rushed out of the elevator.

I didn't mean to call him out.  I was just being friendly.  Really

You totally eviscerated him.

Or... he thought you were hitting on him.

"Nithe bag you have there.. Thoooo nithe.."

While at the gym the other day I saw a guy wearing full Ferrari regalia (sweat shirt, sweat pants and shoes)...he got into his...Toyota Camry...and drove off.

Douche?
