Put a Ducati logo on your VFR and most people will never know. I think putting a Honda logo on my Ducati will ruffle more feathers I'm sure it would piss off some die hard Ducatisti!

CandyRedRC46 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Showed my bike to a friend that rides a 2004 CBR600rr last night. I asked him if he knew what it was. He said ducati, I said no, then he said kawasaki and I said no again. I told him it was a honda and he didn't believe me. He said, "How can this be, nothing on this bike is honda. It has kawasaki lines and a ducati single sided swing arm." Then I showed him a quick google for vfr800. Lol the look on his face, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer GP Paul Posted August 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 31, 2016 From the guy trying to sell me a $12 car stereo out of a shopping bag ("a really good one!"): "Do you drive a Harley? (No) Well, shut up then!" From everybody: "You don't look like a crotch-rocket rider." From a respected Safety Professional after I told him that a lot of bike collisions are caused by cagers: "Doesn't matter if you're dead right, you're still dead."

VFR4Lee Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 First time I met this guy, "We're about the same in a straight line, but I can go faster in the curves. You should let me by," Then, he tells me his name, LOL. Second time I see him he's laying by the guardrail with busted shoulder and bike. Went in way too hot chasing someone else. Oh yeah, you're a f'ing great rider. Third time I see him at the motorcycle show. If I spotted him sooner he wouldn't have seen me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's my typical answer,"No but I have one of those too" One night I was in traffic in one of Sydney's busier Saturday night areas (Paddington) with a mate - I on my black 4th Gen, he on his red 4th Gen, both with Staintunes. Sitting at the lights talking to each other when two very hot young women spotted the bikes - they'd had a few orange whips, and one tottered over to us in her heels saying "Oh wow, I just loooove Ducatis" with a big smile... to my mate of course, the guy on the loud red bike He replied "Sorry baby, it's a Honda!" She stopped, looked a bit miffed, and said "Well, you're a wanker then, aren't you???" Hahahahahaha... we both nearly dropped our bikes laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Bent Posted September 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2016 I hate the term "crotch rocket". It's like the term "assault rifle" to me. I own an "assault baseball bat" too. When someone uses "crotch rocket" in conversation with me, I ask, "What exactly is a crotch rocket"? I have yet to get an intelligent, well thought out answer."

We're all labeled as stupid people because everybody knows of a motorcyclist that died on a motorcycle usually killed by a stupid cage driver. It's more socially accepted to be a stupid cage driver killing bicycle and motorcycle riders now and then. Everybody has a snake story, a dog story, and a motorcycle story. But, they never do anything "exciting". I avoid people in every way that get vocal about motorcycle riding being stupid. We are all independent thinking people and that's the preferred way IMO.

Often when leaving whatever kind of gathereing there is always someone that tells you to drive safely instead of just a simple goodbye. Those are the drivers to watch out for, never leave a party the same time they do. Example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, give it a day or two. I got rear ended when I was on my bike and a day after while standing, I went to turn and do something and my back "locked up" on me. I literally couldn't move an inch without a sheer amount of pain shooting up my spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
