Good to see more screen-time for Ducati, but here's my comment I added on that page:

QuoteOne of the conditions Ducati should impose on these film makers for inclusion in their films is that the genuine Ducati noise be used, not substituted with cheap-and-nasty Japanese bike noises for the sake of viewer-familiarity.
p2e.
:p~

Interesting, I thought the sound was the only thing left from the Ducati...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You must be talking about Terminator 4.. Haven't seen it yet, but I guess I shoulda mentioned that Yes Man sounded like a Japcati, and also Dollhouse (TV show) with 848, also Japcati..
p2e.

In some parts it did sound japanese, and others it was distinctly Duc.

hmm.. I watched the latest terminator on Sunday (14/6) and never once thought it sounded like a twin, but maybe I don't remember right. I would have made reference to it though, coz I thought the bikes were wicked. - Chris

I saw terminator salvation and thought it was sorta v-twin but electronically modified in some way, like slowed down or recorded through a 20ft pipe or something.

They never leave perfect alone!

assuming it's 5.56 (.223) that's about half a pound for every 20 rounds, not including the belt.  so to have any useful amount of ammo, you're gonna need at least an extra 10-15 lbs, plus the containers to store it.

Who give's a rats ass!  ;D
If I'm going slow because of the excess ammunition, at least no prick will be game enough to get close and pregnant dog.

"Really?"
"You think I'm going to slow?!?"
"Well, Say hello to my little friend!!!"
