Don't forget the Ducati SanDisk Compact Flash Card... (wtf?!)

And the cell phone.   [roll]

And sure enough one day I saw some deutsche-bag in full metro gear had the Ferrari shoes.  I wanted to smack the Prada sunglasses off his head while waiting in the grocery store line. 


Then you saw him strut out to the parking lot and get into his Fiero?  [laugh]
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

The card doesn't say ducati.  There's just a cheap sticker on the box saying they're a sponsor.  That's not too bad.  I definitely had a WTF after I had bought and saw the little sticker.  Well I'll be damn.

Sandisk is/ was a sponsor of the GP bike so I can kind of understand that, even though it was ridiculous.

I think they could whore their name better.  Maybe a Ducati Escort 8500 Radar Detector?

Sorry, I didn't realize the whoring was that bad.  I just got a SD Card for the camera and noticed the sticker on the package.  Motorcycles on the card is a bit much and selling to .000001% of the population.

On a general note, I really dislike branding everything "extreme" this and "extreme" that. At least Ducati spelled it correctly and didn't go the whole "xtreme" route.

Ducati isn't that bad yet. 

It's when you go to Italy and see the Ferrari logo on EVERYTHING!!   Kind of like H-D here with their logo on beef jerky, etc.   [roll]
