Discussions on the 1098 versus the xx9 versus the xx8/916 - Ducati.ms

People, please......

As this site has grown and as more people sharing their opinions, the flame wars have gotten very heated and out of hand.

Let's keep it simple.

Either you like the bike or not.
You like the strategy Ducati is taking or not.

But saying you rbike is ugly, your ar an a$$, blah blah blah, is not to be tolerated.

I am sick of two things here.

SPAMMERS putting crap on our site, and people attacking each other personally.

So, rather than reading my mods having a hard time keeping up with the 40 pages of opinions on the new versus, last, versus older models, to read 5 replies of "my dad can beat up your dad", lets make our jobs easier, and keep it adult and civil.

Some of you are mighty brave on the internet, but we can find your IP, we can email bomb your ass, and then come hunt you down and drag you behind our bikes.

One piece at a time.....

Don't piss off a Texan, he will come and get you..

Okay?

Your not MAN ENOUGH to get ME!!!
(I can say that bravely 'cuz I've hijacked onto my neighbors Wi-Fi ...It would be funny to see the look on their face when you showed up at THEIR door!!!)

All I would ask is....

Anyone ride a motorcycle around here?

I have my ways......
If I have to take down the whole neighborhood.

To quote Aliens....

"Nuke 'em for morbid!"

I can only imagine what they might say: "Oh, the one across the street that sounds like an out-of-balance washing machine at idle?..."

I doubt they've actually ever SEEN it, it's much too fast for that..
You know... YELLOW!

Yeah I was riding Sophia bout a month ago, and some Honder rider pulls up next to me....

"Hey! Sumptins wrong with yo bike!"

I said....

"Yeah, its some italian design flaw....:

HA!

I just tell people "Oh, it's OK... it runs better WITHOUT OIL in it!"
....and enjoy the look of shock on their faces!

At least my dog will have something to eat for the next month or so before
somebody finds whats left of me laying on the floor in front of the computer.

I'm not altogether sure what this thread is about to be honest. I'm an 800ss owner (and an adopted Texan) and I didn't think ANYTHING could get me away from the gorgeous ss line after waiting so long to get one, but then I saw these pics and I just GOTTA get one:

DukeDesmo · Nov 13th, 2006, 6:00 pm

I actually like ALL the Superbikes.

But I still say "my dad can beat up your dad"..........

I've got to admit, I don't fully utilize my 900ss/cr... But, I also "need" one!
I can't wait for 2 December 06 to see it IN PERSON!!!

...and SageRider is right, that Rainman sure is silly :P
