Him: Is that a Ducati?
Me: Yes.
Him: I'm Italian. Are you Italian?
Me (as I'm Chinese and finished taking off my helmet): Are you blind?


And I second riding the new Multi--Good enough for Doug Polen at the track, good enough for me. I rode both the new monsters and felt like I was sitting on them instead of in them, if that makes sense. The hyper is wrong as a class, imo--with all that motor it's no longer a motard that's light and flickable.

Second the new Kawa naked--beat the streetfighter and brutale in a recent Bike test and about $10k less.
