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.

how will you aim?

"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.

Who knows?

But I figure even if you shoot off a second or 2 of rounds in there general direction (even if you don't hit them) I figure they will have received more than adequate notice of my general objection to them drawing any further oxygen from the atmosphere, and I will be more than willing to assist them from this plane of consciousness.  ;D

Forced myself to watch Yes Man on the plane home and had to get right to the end to see the HM. From a Ducatisti point of view it would have been nice if a dry clutch rattle was the noise stopping Jim Carrey from hearing the warnings of the power (or they may have actually said torque) of the high performance Ducati. Unfortunately the ordinary punter would have been complaining about the sound quality ... "there is one point where there is an unusual rattling sound, kinda like a bucket of bolts ...I think my DVD is faulty".

On another note, another movie on the plane which I can't quite remember the title of ... but it had Streetfighter in it so it was hard to resist - the fact it was a Kung Fu movie just added to the attraction  :D. Anyway the vampish eurasion copper rides an 'old-style' monster with a corse chequered flag tank and it looks like high mount Leo Vince pipe [evil]. The sound quality was not good enough to be certain but I don't remember a distinct Ducati note.

ptooey

saw terminator 4 tonight. still heard more inline four than desmodromic. if any v-twin at all.

so once again defies belief that ducati takes credit and pride their bikes are in the films.
p2e.
:p~

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think that Ducati was saying their bikes were in the film, the way I took it was that the Bikes in the Film were modeled off the characteristics of the HyperMotard used by the Stunt riders, they were the reference used by the Animators when modeling the moves for the Moto-terminators. you can see it in the promo vid that they are using Hypers for the Reference passes.

That's the way I took it.

PS: Saw the movie the other night! Loved it! can't wait for it to come out on Bluray!  [thumbsup]
