basically… There are alot of positives. It’s sexy It isnt a common bike I love the color I can tell girls i have a bike It’s a Ducati I don’t want to ride all the time, but when i do i dont want to be on your everyday 600. ---

Tell girls you have a Ducati. They’ll think it’s an Italian STD. :haha ---

I don’t think alot of girls would know the difference between bikes unless they ride themselves… but you might get lucky if you tell them you have a bike and throw around fancy names and big numbers. ;D ---

exactly… but thats a good point. Maybe i should fork the 4k more and get a 1098 :nod but then i would really need a bike to learn on… and i’d have to paint it white/flat black and put 848 badges on it. ---

Wait… I can see painting it white and black, cause it does looks sweet, and yeah it matches your car. ( :gay) But why would you put the 848 badges on a 1098 if the whole point is to impress the chick with bigger numbers? ---

where did i say never ride it? i said ride it once and a while. It’s like going on a hot date once a weekend, rather than takin 5 fugly bitches out all week. ---

Too bad when you go on your “hot date” you wouldn’t hold a conversation with her, wouldn’t know where to touch her and when you take her home for the fun ride you wouldn’t know what to do with her. ---

I’m a little lost. How is buying a 13K bike and only driving it once a week or so… cost effective?
