Next time you see them, give them a thumbs up and move on 

+1 just do you're best to be the better person. If another rider acts like an a-hole because of the brand you ride just remember, it's a comment on their character, not yours.  And ride on my friend. [moto]

The goldwing riders are just too scared to let go of the handlebars  [laugh]coz their bike is too damn huge it might fall.

or afraid of spilling their latte.
My pops had one of those for a while.. that thing was nicer than my car.

Just remember that if everyone else rode Ducatis then we wouldn't be such an exclusive group.

I'm not sure if you were joking w/the above post, but that last part of your sentence is what kills me and probably fill the stereotype for the other "Jap" riders.  What makes it "exclusive" to own a Duc?  I don't feel I'm part of some "exclusive group" because I own a Ducati.   

I own a motorcycle, period.  I didn't buy a Ducati because I wanted a place to belong to, I bought it because I liked the way it looked and wanted an more upright bike then my previous one.

I bought one cause when i first heard of them and then saw one my mouth dropped at the age of 13 and i knew that was the bike for me.

Exclusive because you don't see them as often as other bikes.  I didn't mean to sound like we are different or better than the rest of the riders out there.  It is a very rare occasion in my neck of the woods to see another Duc unless I go looking for them.  Maybe exclusive was the wrong word to use.

I'll agree with that one, Saw the the Photo's of the first Monster when they released the Prototype back in 92/93 been wanting one ever since!!
I do like that they are a bit more exclusive than a lot of other bikes, but I'm not a snob about it, at the end of the day it's just a motorbike.
Love the sound, Love the look and I love the way it does things.

Must be a manufacturing defect.  Never would have happened on a Ducati.   

Who cares what someone else rides if i were buying a new bike right now it would either be a Triumph Sprint or a BMW GS, I think there are douche bags that ride all brands not just "jap" bikes.
