Behold, the most circle jerking-est thread on the intenet about bikes.

What did you expect? Ducati/Monster owners :laughing :twofinger :facepalm :banana
 
Seems about 1 in 5 complain think people who have never heard a dry clutch are idiots. I remember the first time I heard a dry clutch, I thought "If I spent all that money on a bike I sure as hell wouldn't ride it around while it's rattling like crazy like that. Why doesn't he fix that thing?!" :laughing
 
This is my favorite.

When I went to get my old 900 inspected right after I got it.
Mech- Is that one of them bikes that doesn't have valves?
Me- What?
Mech- I heard those bikes don't have valves.
Me- You must be thinking of a Rotary engine.
Mech- No I am pretty sure it's Ducati.
Me- (thinking to myself) Roll Eyes Whatever just inspect the freakin thing.
At the time I didn't even know about the Desmodromic valves so when I found out later I realized what he was talking about.

Everytime I hear someone's Duc with a dry clutch- I say: Dude! You need to get that bike looked at.:rofl
 
When I first started riding I checked that group out.... I found neither motivational posters or opportunity for retired photoshoppery.

BARF ftw!

After closer examination of the thread that you guys are making fun of I've decided that it is worthy of your scorn.

Monster discussions were way better back before so many people owned them. It's probably that way for most bikes and their respective bike-specific forums.
 
I dunno, when I get a Duc i'm definitely going to tell people who ask about the rattling that it's a diesal. :laughing
 
How does a bike "look" Italian anyway?

Guess that's better than the dude who thought they were made by honda.
 
Meh.

I think 98% of those that start conversations and ask "dumb questions" are just curious folks and I tend to concider thier questions moreso innocent than dumb actually. I like talking to them and not down to them, it's another way of building good relations with non riders if you think about it.

I totally agree with you on this. Maybe its the sarcasm or the internet, but most of those thread responses are seem kind of uppity and douche laden.

The irony being this thread about that thread :laughing

wow every one of those guys reinforces what i've been learning about the streetbike community....
thinking your "badass" and "cool" runs rampant just because they ride streetbikes,
thinking your "elite" seems to be the commonality just because they ride italian bikes...
don't get me wrong i've encountered quite a few awesome people and the barf community has been quite accepting, but i've definitely sensed alot of upturned-noses around the bay.


i leave you with this
"I can't tell you often I get "Ducati eh? I bet that things fast"

At first I was I tried to explain that a 2-valve, air-cooled 750 really didn't produce that much horsepower, but it was always useless. Now I just laugh."

this guys is actually laughing at OTHER people because HE drives a pussy bike.
