The green logo on the cup would match the tricolor so nicely while parked up out front looking good.

damn...I never thought of that. STEVE...... no to the flat black..... grab up some tri paint

If they geared the adds to the classics and the new sport classics I'm sure Starbucks would jump all over it.  I happen to freqent Starbucks, but that's because:

A: I run maintenance on their equipment
B: I get free coffee 
C: Even if I didn't get free coffee, it's the only place around here to get a decent cup.  My usual barista closed shop and the only other "coffee hut" serves a cup that tastes like a wookie's foot.

Besides, if Starbucks sponsored Ducati, that would be just one more reason for us pretentious Ducati owners not to wave.  I mean, it's hard enough already to ride with a Frappuccino.....

He is making a joke about Ducati owners hanging out at Starbucks.

(whispering voice over)

This reminds me of something I've been wondering about. Are the stereotype of Ducati owners considered to be snobs? I frequent another motorcycle forum where many of the members think that most Ducati owners are snobby. 

starbucks is the evil empire. i love caffeine. i hate starbucks. if it takes you 5 minutes to order a cup of coffee and have to use stupid terms like venti there is a problem. the west coast needs more dunkin donuts.

I use the words "small" or "medium" when ordering their drinks.   This usally confuses them and they will then ask me to clarify by asking if I meant a venti or a tall.  Then I'm like, no I want a medium.   So this can go on for a couple of rounds, but I never give in and use their terms.   You got find your fun where you can.

I am right with you on that one...

Since there is such a huge connection between starsucks and ducati...this is what I have to say...

that video is so wrong... but i can't stop laughing.

I ride the Goldwing for daily comutes, its great to have the onboard coffee maker and latte machine, no need for Starbucks.     It does get a little boring on the way home though. 

I don't drink coffee. Therefore I have no reason to go to Star$$.

If they sold Jamaican Blue Mountain I might consider both. Dolph

pretty much.   And that they pose but never ride.   Often in front of coffee shops (thus the thread  )

Which is of course funny because I've never met a more enthusiastic bunch who are both friendly and welcoming socially, and who ride hard and well (track days seem to be over-represented by Ducs).

I was just at Starbucks this morning picking up a pound of overpriced Brazilian and getting a free cup of Pikes Peak.

But I was there in my car.

I think this is due to the fact that most people think Ducatis cost a fortune.
