Saturday I stopped at the gas station on the corner of Grover and Koenig and while I was pullin up the cashier came outside, saw my bike and walked back in.  As I was paying for my DP I was finally asked the question you always hear about...  "So what is wrong with your bike?"  "What?"I replied.  "It is making a jangling noise and that cant be good" I was told.  With a big smile I explained to him "Thats a Ducati and we pay extra for that noise".  To which he replied "Ducati? is that better than a Honda?"  Closing out the conversation I answered back, "That depends but it is a whole lot cooler.

Some get it some don't,

Case

It's always funny to get the: Ducati? who makes that?

I love seeing people reaction to the cry clutch noise !!!

I can't wait until the end of the month, I will have my SpeedyMoto 5 spoke clutch cover powdercoated and installed and the "DUCATI CLUTCH MUSIC" will be FREE !!!

Just posting here to let you know how much I envy your dry clutches. 

I perceive the illustrious tambourine mod is in my near future.

Cheers.

 

The best one I've ever had was a guy yelling at me to get my bike into my mechanic because my cam chain was loose.  I started laughing because I thought my friends had put him up to it.  They hadn't, he was serious.  It then prompted a discussion about how I didn't HAVE a cam chain... and if THAT noise was a loose cam chain I had much bigger problems.

Now, when asked, I just tell them it's my cam chain.   

someone on the Sport Bike group ride this weekend told me my bike sounded like a Harley.................compliment or insult? I dunno

You haven't heard a noisy clutch till you've heard mine. It makes babies cry.

Please note that my clutch noise is completely fake and fabricated...kinda just like me.......at least it matches my wheels....

How the hell did you find a tambourine to match your wheels? 

Well, when you finally make up your mind for a new ride, you can have one too....red of course..


And one for M1Tanker:


and one for 2Card:


and SpeedTrpl:

I'm really leaning this direction...... Do you have a tambourine to match?
